The bay crops are in most of places oyer
and a number of farmers ia this vicinity
have started to cut wheat.—The storm on
Monday last was very severe here, but as
far as has been ascertained no serious
damage was sustained in this section. In
some instances the grain was badly lodged
and in other places femme were blown
down. While it lasted the rain descended
in torrents and WAS one of tbe heaviest we
hare had in this section for a number of
years, flooding the streets and raising the

we got off so luckily.—Flax pulling has

joseph Templeton, of Stanley Town-

self in his barn barn on Saturday morning
last, He was abont 30 years of age and
unmarried. • He had a good farm and was
working' it successfully with a hired Man,
and his mother kept house for him. Ile
appeared perfectly sane on the previons
evening. No ODO can tell what made him
do the rash aot, An inquest was beld and
O verdict rendered accordingly.
We are always pleased to welcome vieit-
ors to our town, because we are proud of it.
It is a well known fact that the question
has been asked by non-residents, "Isn't
Zurich a great place for drinking!" and
other such questions, which would lead one
to believe that our popular little town was
away below par. Probably the best way to
account for ,such an opinion is this: Zur-
ich as well as other small towns are visited
by a certain class of young and. elderly
men., who do not wish their friends at
home to think that they would get "just a
little bit fnuny," take this alternative by
giving the small neighboring towns no
oocasional visit and going in for a good
time dui. Friends at home got on to the
racket and of course somebody let the cat
out of the bag and then the visited town
must shoulder the consequence. We al-
ways wish to make visitors at home, but
parties who wish to have a good. time un-
