\Ir. Campbell, an extensive farmer
living near Alvinstou, was in town on
.Friday last in search of his son who
wandered from hoine on itlondav of last
week and who is of uuround mind. He
was traced to the vicinity of Dashwood
thence to the Thanes Road where he
was again lost track of. He is about
twenty years of age and is of medium
height.
The Directors of burial ground have
received repeated complaints from lot
owners that flowers have been taken
from the graves of their departed ones
The fact that there is notices prohibit-
ing this does not seem of any affect,
It will be imperative therefore on the
part of the trustees to have such par-
ties as are guilty of this offence dealt
with as the law directs in such cases.
Cou.
A newspaper in a neighboring town
spoke of two men in different parties
meeting on the same platform, as "the
lion and the Iamb lying down together"
And the party spoken of as the lion
says he has been belittled and stops his
paper. It is another illus:ration of the
old saying that "If an editor does not
scratch every reader's hack just exact
ly in the way he wants it scratched"
that man gets mad and takes his name
off the list.
Notice.
A sunshiny husband makes a merry
beautiful home worth having, worth
working for. If a man is breezy.cheery
considerate and sympathetic his wife
sings in her heart o er her puddings
and her mending basket, counts the
hours till he returns at night and re-
news her youth in the security she
feels of his approbation and admiration
You may think it weak or childish,if you
please, but it is the admired wife who
hears words of praise and receives
smiles of accomodation, who is capable,
discreet and executive.
Why should we use the word " Mr.''
to a name? In the firstiplace, "Mr." is
not a title. In the second place, there
is no need of a title of any sort, and it
is only a waste of time to prefix "Mr"
to 'a man's name. When everybody is
entitled to it, it conveys no meaning
and is absolutely superfluous. The
radical who despises titles that mean
something, shouldn't encourage a title
that, in this country, means nothing.
A man's name is title enough for any-
body. In the best of all books thous
ands of names of people are mentioned
and none f re called "Mr."
A well-known lawyer gives the fol-
lowing as the law for public highways
in towns and cities: "The street be
longs to teams and vehicles, and pedes-
trians have no more right upon them
than the teams would have upon the
walks. The crossings at the street
corners belong to pedestrians,who have
the right of way there by law, as
against teams Many drivers ignore
the law, and dash over the sidewalks,
endangering lives and thelimbs of. the
pedestrians, without thinking they are.
violating the law. No vehicle or horse
can, within the law, be driven rapidly
over the crossings, nor can the driyer
obstruct the crossing."

Look Sharp.
As the summer advances a large
number of agents,: sharpers and Cheap
Jacks of every nation, find their way
from piles of brick and mortar, and
"coal smoke" into a quiet country. Al-
though scarcely a week elapses when
representative of every house isnot in
some town or village, a stranger who
pretends to have something new and
cheap, is the man who"tal:es the cake"
The stranger hardly, if ever, puts in a
second appearance at one place, as he
fears that the purchaser will have
learned that they paid doublevalue
forthe last purchase. It is said"bought
en wit is the best of wit, and by de-
grees people are learning to encourage
home enterprise, as one lesson isgener-
ally sufficient to bring out this point.
For Public School.
The, apportionment of the legislative
grant to the several municipalities is
based upon the latest returns of popu
lation for the year 1892, and the divis-
ion between the public and seperate
schools on the average attendance of
that year, as reported by the inspectors
public schools' boards and separate
school trustees respectively. The pub
lie school apportionment in Huron is
as follows:—Ashfield, $439; Brussels,
$147; Blyth, $115; Clinton, $301; Col.
borne, $245; Goderich township $322;
Goderich town, 403; Exeter, $200; Sea -
forth, $3.5; Grey, $466; Hay, $452;

the Fair has gone on steadily, improv-

its inception in 1868. The. Dates this
year remain the same, being Septem-

Hod, -4i Cooln Cellar.
..A` great ;' ii take'is sometimes made
in ventilathig.cellars and milk houses.
,The'objeWoe'ventilation is to keep the
cellars 'cool'aiid dry, but this object of-
ten fails of'behig :accomplished 'by a
common mistake, and instead the cel-
lar is made' both°warm and damp, A
cool piece'should never be; ventilated,
unless thepar admitted is cooler than
the air within; or is at least as cool as
that or,a,very little warmer. The warm
er the air the more moisture it holds in
suspension. Necessarily, the cooler the
air the more thio moisture is condensed
and precipitated! When a cool cellar
is aired on a warm day, the entering
air being in motion appears cool, but
as it'fills the cellar the cooler air with.
which it becomes mixed chills it, the
moisture is condensed, and dew is de-
posited on the cold walls, and may of-
ten be seen running down' them in
streams. Then the cellar is damp and
soon becomes mouldy. To avoid this,
the window should only be opened at
night, and late, the last thing before
retiring. ?here is no need to fear that
the night air is unhealthful; it is as
pure as the air of midday, and is really
drier, The cool air enters the apart•
ment during the night and circulates
through it. The windows should be
closed before sunrise in the morning,
and kept closed and shaded through
the day. If the air of the cellar is damp
11 may be dried by:p'acing'in it a peck
afresh lime in an ope*box. A peck
of lime will abet b about Vie' enpounds
or More than .„ p
