excellent condition, but in many places
surrounding us they are badly in need
of rain.
The criminal statistics for the year
ending 30th Sept., 1892, have been is-
sued by the Department of Agriculture
Allowing, for an increase of population,
the volume shows an extremely slight
increase in crime in Canada, as com-
pared with the previous e -ear,

John Dalziel, Sarnia, vs the township
of Stephen, Huron county; The arbi-
trators were John McKenzie, Sarnia;
Judge Tom. 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.

The Ontario Government has issued

of taking more stringent action to

ulating the registration of births, mar-
riages and deaths.
T Plums are being marketed daily, the
price being 75c, per pail. Samples
which have been brought in are of
good quality, but the crop in this vi-
cinity is not large. Good prices wit

Our sidewalks are uedergoing much
needed repairs this week, andwhile
the workmen are at it we hope they
will not neglect those projecting nails,
which are proving such a nuisance. A
rap with the hammer once or twice
will do it.
Owing to the greet increase of busi-

The Clydesdale horses shown at the

The "Pride of the Valley" medicine
man has come and gone. The open air
concerts drew large audiences It is
really wonderful that such crowds of
moral minded people will attend such
paltry entertainments because it is
free. 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.
Mr and Mrs. John Spackman are
home once more from Grand Bend
Park, having closed that famous sum-
mer resort for the season. Mr. Speck -
man informs us that the .past season
at the Park has been an exceptionally
successful one, as well as satisfactory
to the hundreds of visitors who spent
some of their leisure time there this
past summer.
Miss Ada Newton daughter of Thos.
Newton underwent a painful surgical
operation on Saturday last when a
piece of glass about three-quarters of
au inch long was removed from her
arm by Drs. Hyndman & Hyndman.
The glass had been there for about two
years without her knowledge till late-
ly when it became troublesome. She
is now doing nicely.
Woodstock l;Sentinal-Review.—•"A
skeleton was unearthed on Chapel St.
Thursday in front of the residence of
Wm Patterson by a gang of men who
were excavating for the waterworks.
The top of the skull was missing, as if
it had been sawed off. The human
bones were probably those of some per
sonburied in the old Episcopal ceme-
tery, which was located, in that neigh -
hood." Wonder if our local cotein, the
great, infallible revolutionizer, of typo-
graphical errors, ever before heard tell
of a "gang of men excavating for water-
works.
Mr. Fred Knight who so ably pre-
sided at the organ in the Triyitt Me-

resigned, and for the meantime Mr.
John Grigg has very kindly offered his
services which were gratefully accept-

R. Nolan's barber shop (where he had
engaged to work the Saturday ,prey
ions) and sitting down in a chair was
soon asleep. At noon when the attempt
was made to awake him he was found

arouse him. He was taken to his
boarding house in the west ward on a

then taken to the National hotel, and

he did not recognize her when he
