STEWART, AL JOTTINGS. }Perhaps it is to much to expect bak- ers to reduce the price of bread when the price of wheat goes down. Per- haps the price of bread dePends upon the price of, potatoes and alum. Sometime during Saturday- night thieves gained an entrance into the Commercial Hotel, Hensall, by prying open the window in the barrcom, suf- ficient to enable them to unlock the door. They gained an entrance to the till and rifled it of its contents, which amounted to $30.50 and a gold ring. No clue to the perpetrators. A number of yarns relating to mos- quitoes are just now going the rounds. of the press. Here is one for which Mr John Hillman, of Brandon, Manitoba, is responsible. He says that a few days ago a man living on the outskirts of the city who owns a cow, went out to. look for her, but was unable to find her; finally he came across a mosqui- to seated on the telephone wires on Rosser avenue ringing the bell which should have been on the cow. As the cow was not to be found, the man in question concluded that his cow had been eaten up, and that the mosquito wee ringing for more cows. 'Three points of merit peculiar to B. C. Red Cedar Shingles:-lst. They are much wider than any other Shing. leg -'2nd. When once laid they will always lie flat. No matter what the. weather is -wet or dry, cold or hot— they will never warp or curl as pine, or Eastern cedar 'shingles. Brd. On account of the great lasting qualities of Red Cedar Shingles, they can be used much thinner than any other shingles. Three shingles to one inch at the butt is the standard thickness that is now being shipped by the Brit- ish Columbia and Puget Sound mills to Eastern dealers.

Tom was presented with two vol- umes of poems by his pupils." The above is copied from the Vancouver Daily News -Advertiser of June 24th. Mr. Tom has been teaching only two years in Vancouver, and ou three dif- ferent occasions, December 1891, De- cember 1692, and June 1893, he has received handsome presents accom- panied by addresses from his pupils. Mr. Tom seems to have reached the land where teachers of his class are ap- preciated. To really enjoy a pleasant walk around town one should take a casual glimpse of the many vegetable gard ens en route, Special mention has been made to us of the gardens belong- ing to Messrs. Manson, our worthy boot and shoe maker, Harrison and Folland, on Andrew street, also William Drew, who reported green peas two weeks ago, George Hodgins will dig new potatoes in a few days, if he has not already done so. Besides turning out the best family news paper in the county, the publishers of the ADvocATE have gardens full of good things. Dr. McDarmaid on Tuesday evening installed the following officers of Exet- er Lodge No. 6?, Independent Grder of Oddfellows: Bro. A. Hastings, J.P G.; do H. Buckingham, N.G.; do R.

Knight, L.S. N.G.; do Dr. Amos, R.S.V.G.; do George Vosper, L.S.V.G.; do J. Jewell, R.S.$. ; do W. Atkinson, L.S.S,; do R. Crocker, Chap. Bro. H. Lambrook, P.G., was elected to attend the Grand Lodge of Ontario in .August. The Times, in its last issue, says:- "The new 'watering cart has arrived from London and can be seen at the Town Hall. It is no great shakes and could as well have been made in town," If the Times editor had taken the trouble to enquire regarding the article inquestion, he would probably not have made this undue reflection on our village counci'. We have it, from good authority that before the, new cart was purchased a deputation of the council interviewed several of the wagen makers in town and none of them cared to rake it, but strongly advised the council to try London or other cities, where the manufacture of water carts was made a speciality. The present cart is the result and speaks for itself, and has only to be .seen in use to keep up the good reputation of its maker. Our wagon makers in town could certainly make just as good a cart and tank, but the sprink- ling apparatus is a patent of themaker, Mr. George Heaman, London. Is there anything else not right about our council board, ;Miller? Boy Wanted A good smart boy wanted to learn. printing. Apply at this office. Farm for Sale.

Shingles. • At it Again. Hensall Observor.--The Exeter Times is again despondent and accuses their local contemporary, the ADvoCATn, for bringing their cruel scissors into use. The publishers of the ADvoCATu are not to be tramped upon by"Miller" and have explained the matter in such a way as to leave' no doubt upon the minds oftheir readers as, tothe ac- curacy of their . statement: The way' of the ' transgressor .is hard indeed, Miller. , etsterminate thePotato Eng, The bugs should be moxa thoroughly exterminated. Many farmers do not attend to thisand others only in part. The results.is the pests spread all over the country and eat all they want. The tubers can only grow through the leaves; when the supply is devoured by these bugs the .crop must Buffer. The result is, we seldom see the fine, • large dry potatoes that formerly were so plentiful all over the dominion. Every farmer should make an effort to clean his crop of these gluttons, and if all would do this the improvement in the crop would repay them their labor. The cost of the small quantity of Paris green requited is very little, lathe la- bor is nearly•allthee can be counted. And here we may, remark—that usu- ally far too much of the poison is used. The smallest quantity that can be ap- plied is sufficient' to kill the bugs. One pound of Paris green to eighty or one hundred gallons of water is ,sufficient, providing it is properly applied. Which. should be done as ofter as required to kill all. Itis a great loss to the coun- try to allow Such a valuable crop to' be destroyed, when a moderate amount of labor and dost: will Savo it. Greeirslade v. .eri"y. This was an action broughtabout by George Greenslade, of the 4th con,. of Hai, against John Berry, bis neigh• bor, and was tried befor His Worship, Charles Snell, on Monday and Tuesday last. The two parties: in question hays been at variance' for some time over the killing of some sheep by Mr. Berry's dog, and which was at the time venti- lated in court., Some time after this case was disposed of Mr.. Greenslade's grandson received a malicious and threatening letter addressed to Mr. Greenslade. This letter was not hand- ed over to the owner but was kept con- cealed by the grandson until recently when it was put into the hands of an American detectived, who has been working on the case for some weeks. After the examination of several docu- ments and the hearing of a mumber witnesses the matter was finally settled out of court by each paying their own costs. Personal Mention. R. H.
