Goderich, and Simon Mc- Leod, Parkhill, ex -warden of Middlesex county. The counsellors were R. H. Collins, barrister, Exeter, and J. le Lister Q. C., Sarnia. John Dalziel claims compensation for ten acree' of land that now forms the ehannel of the River Aux Sauble since that stream hag been diyirtedfrom its natural course by means of dredging and turn- ed into Lake Hume at Grand. Bend, instead of at Port Frank, the original mouth of the river, twelve miles below, The Sauble used to run parallel with the lake for twelve miles before empty- ing into it, and by the change 14,000 acres of swamp land in Stephen, Mc- Gillivray and i3osauquet townships can be reclaimed. The evidence was taken at Grand Bend some: time ago, and was submitted to the arbitrators on paper. Bothcounsels were heard and the arbitrators enlarged the time for making their award for one month. 25 cents will pay- for the ADVQOATsa from now until Jan '1st 1894 Subscribe now..

The Pride of the Valley is all right and can be bought at any drug store in Exeter. It has been suggested that a law be enacted requiring poison to be put up In three cornered bottles, so as to be easily recognizable even in the dark. The wonld-be suicide would not be so apt to make a mistake in such a case, nor yet would a person endeavoring to shun the deadly lotion run a risk of thinking from the wrong bottle.
