By Our Own .Correspondents, Lucan• Fall trade • is fairly good and our mer chants are wearing their prettiest smiles. R. S. Hodgins has 3 large gangs of men picking apples throughout the country. Mr. De We, of New Orleans, La., paid Lucian a visit gaturday last, and was the guest of R. S. Hodgins. Mr. Albert Stanley has about completed his new'briok bpuse, which, for appear- ance and ppearance'and convenience, has few equals. , The Bell Telephone Company completed. stringing their wires from Lucan to St, Marys, Saturday last, and the London office was halloo. On Friday, Oot. l2tb, . Mrs. John. Cul- bert uttered her last utterance and breath. ed her last breath. This old lady served her vocation with the true spirit of woman - lines. On Sunday, Oot. 14th, her re- mains were followed by a large concourse of friends to St. James buryiug ground. She leaves a large family to mourn her departure. AuTOMN.—Autumn' has oome and the golden rays of russet splendour play in mellow cadence o'er the landscape, lending an enchantment gloriously grand. All na- ture variegated in orimeon and yellow tints shines resplendent in exquisite loveliness. Thegentlesummer zephyr wafts no more its cool refreshing presence, but has grown strong in the embrace of matured. October. It is October, the fall of the year, and the leaves are all witheredand sear, the wind oiroles forth whiatling shrill through the dying leaves,,fluatuating as if startled into life anew by an Omniscient touch, look away into the far -spreading distance. Oh ! what can earth .at her best reveal more handsome ? Here and there the patch work of mother nature looms up and catches the optical vision ; the silvery sheen of the fast receding elope tincled 'lu the hazy embellishments of mother nature's tracery : the vales and dells twinkling be- neath the raye;of an autumnal sun oomes forth and pronounce all nature's work well. done. Steal away into woodland's fairy thicket and sit yourself beneath the mon- arch of the very forest in her depths and there learn this lesson in a melancholy mood, for perchance all loveliness in sor- row is surrounded. The moaning of the yery trees. as they drop leaf after leaf at your feet, seem to shed so many tears of pity as you walk beneath them. Walk ou! Stay not, lest your heart outpours its spirit, but drink the inspiration in, for 'tie the life of man, the work of God. The heavy frost has breathed itschilling breath and all vegetation has ceased, and the chilling breezes of Autumn tells of nature's wearing garbs—The lazy deck. While. flitting streamlets of the .shining sun as he peeps buta moment then hides himself again, painting pictures only suited for her gorgeous golden mantle piece. So Autumn sighs and is no mere.

REAL ESTATE.—Several ohanges have taken place in real estate, on the 8th on - cession o on-cession. of Usborne, during the past week, all brought about by the desire of one of oar young, men to leave the joys of single blessedness, and join the great army of benediots.

The price of wheat at present is a gond figure, it being $L15 per bush, for the astt tock. We old jest est hintto those p ore 1 farmers, who aro holdingfor higher prices, to be very cautious as to holding on too long.

OBITUARY, It is our duty this week to chronicle the death of an old and very high. ly respected lady of the Babylon Line, in the person of Mrs. Robt. Broderick, who was taken from amongst us by that dread-• ed malady, heart disease. She died at 3• o'olook Sunday morning, Oot, 14. The de— mise was so sudden that friends in the neighborhood could hardly credit the news at first, but, alas, it was too true. Her -rue worth is only known by those who were intimately acquainted with her. She was a kind mother, and a loving wife.
