Christopher H. has sprung into promi- enoe by his far selling intelligence and orce of character. He is a man of sterling 'Ivo rth and a devoted lover of sports. Chris- opher would have lingered on the shadee obscurity had it not been accidentally a hain of circumstances whioh brought him onspicuously before the public in the elebrated sparring match which took lace here some tei weeks ago between orkey and Ikey. Owing to his fair and nbiased deoisions in that fight, he was nanimously chosen as referee in the raith-MoLeod race, when he again roved himself a sportsman of the first rder. We understand that Christopher as been invited by the president of the aledonian society of Chicago to sot RS afore° in the heavy weight contest, to ake place in that city in October next, so been invited to be a judge of old log abin quilts at the Granton fall shop:.

Bill Ned, like all other illustrious men, was born quite young on hie father's hoinestead :on the 2nd con. of Biddnlph in the year 1842, Away hack in those days the• settler had scarcely any of the comforts of this progressive period, and Bill Ned being the first arrival in the Stanley manaien and in fad the settlement he was the wonder of the whole neighbor- hood, and settlers for miles around came to see the little ouriosity. Standing with glaring eye 061(1 gaping mouth the little cherubim, Bill Ned, put in his best squalls much to the satisfaction of his admirers. At the age of ten years Bill Ned's first achievement was the invention of a stone boat, Ind at fourteen he invented an im- proved leather sucker forhie father's pump, Bill Ned unlike the immortal George Wash- ington, who was whipped for outtin5 his father's choicest cherry tree, spent the earlier years of his life laying low. the eergin forest. One day while felling monarch: of the forest, ho encountered a large black bear and two cubs all of -widish he 'slaughtered with his little hatchet. At the age of 20 Bill Nod meandered into :Own dressed in a hickory shirt and rattle- snake breeches. Bill Ned, being of a commercial turn of mind was disgusted , with rural life, secured a situation in the store of his uncle the well known general merchant of this town, Mr. B. Stanley, where by his industry and close attention to business, he soon became a partner. About the year 11470 a craze for collecting en ancient and strange coins tered the head of the intellectual 13111 Ned, and he has One of the finest collection on this conti- nent. Bill Ned and Sootth Willie viaited the centennial held at Philadelphia in 1876. Bill Ned there received a bronze Medal for his ouriositiee. Bill Ned is now the pet and pride of the old ladies of Biddulph 08 he settles every family dispute and arrangeo every wedding for Mil& aroinicl. Ite the earlier days, Bill Nod had a heavy head of curly hair; but now he sports a tkating rink on the fop of his cranium. Bill Ned was a member .of the fishery conemission last year, he being thoroughly posted in the streame which flow through the comity of Middlesex. Bill Ned is neW an olcl land. mark in the village and hie cheerful phisog and winning voice are one of the principal features of ()lir booming little village. As a 'wire puller he hap no equal and is an ardent Coneervativeitt polities. He 18 now in the prime ot life and if no unforseen accidents occur Bill Ned his a gerund and glorious future before him. Among the many engagements of his life \008 the clevelepinent of the Russel patent foxes, and a coutraetinginterest in the binding twine market of the county. .Beth of these he has made a grand slimes aa he advertises himself to be manager of 100 tons of twine aoet 120 tolls uf Remo' fence wire for the season of 1888, Bill Nod is the corning man for the political honors of the North Riding of :Middlesex and from Rile day ferwerd solicite the stipport of all true Consereatives and half heatted Grits.
