A hailstorm did great damage to staver-il wheat fields east and south of 13ra•,don. About twelve farmers were hailed out, Assistant Postmaster Maloney, of Stratford, prosecuted a young girl at police court. Guelph, for using an ef- faced postage stamp. The accused pleaded guilty and was fined ff10 and $1.50 costs. The fine for this offence is from $10 to. $40 so that in the case Tuesday, the lowest possible penalty was imposed. The poet office authori- ties have entered on a vigorous cam- paign against those who attempt to defraud the department in this man- ner. This has been probably the quickest harvest for many years. No sooner was the hay off the ground, in fact, before it was off, the wheat in many Yields was ready for the binder and the drought was such that other fields, com- paratively green a few days before, matured in a day ,or two, while the barley kept pace and the hinder could scarcely get the wheat down before it had to go into the fields of that grain. Now the thresher is at work in some localities. Just before going to press the sad intelligence was received here of the death of Mary Ann, beloved wife of Mr. Harvey Hutton, who died yesterday at Winnipeg, Man. from in- flammation of the kidneys, She was the eldest daughter of Mr. W.

Her mother and son Robert left yesterday to attend the funeral Determined to Stop Jt. On Thursday of last week, a lady from Belgrave was before W. F. Brock- enshire, J. P., charged with sending a letter containing money in a news- paper, contrary to law. She pleaded guilty and a fine of $10—the lowest that could be imposed under the Act -- and costs was inflicted. Assistant Post Office Inspector Maloney, of Stratford was complainant. The Government is determined to put a stop to infractions of the postal laws, if possible.—Wing- ham Times. Business at the foundry is rushing and the management express themseves highly -pleased with the business thus far and also future prospects. If business keeps on increasing as in the past month, more hands will be placed on the pay roll. An ADvocaTE reporter strolled through the establishment last Tuesday and found some eight or ten men busily engaged at various occu- pations, some setting up plows, others in the moulding department preparing for next day's casting, while various machines were being fed by other hands. We are pleased to note as much prosperity in this place. The management will always be pleased to meet any of the old customers and also to welcome new ones. They guaran- tee that' all work left with them will receive prompt and careful attention and done as only good work can be done—a fact to which the ADVOCATE can testify—having had work done there. We respectfully ask all our readers when in need of machine cos t- ings, repairs and such like, to go to Murry Bros' Foundry, Exeter.
