GOOD NEWS
—AND --
Very Encouraging.
From all parts comes the
good tidings that fall wheat
has passed through the chang•
ing periods of winter safely,
and that fully 95 per cent. of
last fall's sowing is now pre-
senting a very encouraging
growth and strength. For
many years it has not looked more
favorable and offering greater prom-
ises to the tiller of the soil, and all
must feel an interest in the result ;
and it is nevertheless true that the
undersigned has never placed be-
fore the needy public a larger
variety of goods, a better class of
goods and a better stock to select
from than at present : comprising
Dry Goods, Gents' Furnishings,
Ladies' Dress Goods in all kinds
and shades needed; also Ladies and
Gents' Fine Boots and Shoes ; also
children's. Groceries and Crockery,
Wall -paper and Cutlery. Kindly
call and examine for yourselves.
Farm produce taken in exchange
for goods and prices paid for same
according to quality.

ACCIDENTS -White Ur Bartel Uowald was
mimed in movingthe old Lutheran parson-
age for Mr Christopher Bess, who bought
it, he met with a very severe accident. The
building it a very heavy one, and strong
force bad to hewed, and a atiok of timber
giviug way flow back, striking Mr Howold
on the side, inflicting anoh injuries u to
lay him up, and it is feared he is hurt in-
ternally. The wonder is, be was not m-
stantly killed. -1 few days ago while Mr
Toseph Broderick and his father wero"kill-
ing a pig the animal got cross and caused
coneidorablo trouble. The knifo need was
somewhat dull and when Mr Broderick
plunged it into the pig's neck, it failed to
reanh tho vital spot. The pig grouped Mr
Broderick by the band, biting the thumb
clear off. It then got loose and ran away
with the knife in its throat. Additional
assistance was procured and the brute was
subsequently despatobod, lint Joseph still
mourns the lose of his thavib and will have
a very painful band for some time,
BnrEra—Mr Hardy bas his kitoben nearly
oompleted.-Ed. Axt here moved into the

Mr Moore, book agent, gardener, nursery
agent, etc, oto., has moved to Parkhill. He
will be greatly missed in ;he village, -Mr H

lately vacated by Mr Moore. It will be
quite an improvement to Main ct.-O, Greb

He is bound to have comfortable =remade -

Dashwood last Sunday. -We believe it is
the intention to commence an English class
in the Evangelical Sunday school here.
This is a move in the right direction and
will be appreciated by the Englieh people
of the village. -Mr Wing is the guest of hie
brother. -F Seigner has been somewhat im
proving his residenoe.-It is the intention
of the pathmasters to build some new gra-
vel side walks this spring. The sidewalk
leading to the public school grounds is in a
very bad condition and should be built anew
This is something in which every citizen
should be interested. This walk is used
much more than any other and should be
one of the best: Mr Hideman, pathmaster
for the southern division will do his part
towards remedying the above mentioned
walk. Wonder if it would be unreasonable
for the pathmasters of the other divisions
to be a little neighborly and contribute
something towards building a first claw
wide walk from Mr Hess' wagon shop up to
the P S grounds? -Some. of the young men
of the village had the fire engine out for
practice one evg last week, and the working
of the engine was not satisfactory. Should
the village be so 'unfortunate as to catch
fire, the engine would be;of little or no use,
in fact fox the number of men required to
pump about as much could be done if each
would take a pail. We do not advooate
buying a new engine, but think that the
present one should be thoroughly repaired
and a 'company properly organized with
regular praorise. We have material for as
good a company as there is in Weatern

were greatly pleased with it. The bora°
however wished to express his joy over the
new conveyance aud made matters quite
lively for a while, threatening to make
kindiing wood of it. but happily he was
quieted down and the cart got off safely.
It is quite a .handsome turnout and certain-
ly reflects great credit on the builders and
the good taste of the doctor. We feel
confidont that should Wenzel have to make
another within G months he would go bald
altogether from scratching the ideas out of
his head. -On Tuesday evening the band
