Home-grown strawberries are on the
market, at 15 cents per box. The
yield of cherries, berries and small
xuits give promise of being most
abundant, whileapples, plums, peaches,
etc.. will be an exceptional crop.
A hen that leaves bernest after afew
days' setting because she does not hear
the chirp of chicks is samewhatlike the
merchant who quits advertising after
the first few throws," because his
first calls haven't filled his store with
clamoring customers.
During the past week the weather
has been extremely cool, an overcoat
being required to keep one warm.
Fruit growers have been anxious lest
frost should visit their orchards, but
thus far the arch enemy has passed us
by. Fruit has now almost reached a
stage beyond danger.
There should be something done to.
prevent the banana fiends -those
lovers of the fruit who eat it on the
street, then throw the peelings
on the sidewalks. There is nothing
more treacherous or more certain to
cause one to fall than to step on one of
these peelings.
In a communication dated May 30th,

A new post office has been establish-
ed on the Thames road at the church
corner The office is at Mr. Allison,
with John Altison, postmaster. A.

partment asking for this office. It will
be a great convenience to the farmers
an that neighborhood, who should re -
tarn to Mr; Pridham for his
atnflueixe;e and. energy in their behalf.
They can do it nicely on the 23rd of
June.

Prof. Taggart will commence a
course of lectures in the town hall,
Exeter on Monday next, June 8th.

characters scientifically." The Prof.

About 5 o'clock on Sunday afternoon
the people of the vicinity of Greenway
were surprised to see two loads of
pressed hay passing along the road.
Such a thing on the Sabbath day is
very unsual in this Canada of ours.
We suppose the men were going to
work, as besides the hay they had pike
poles, cant hooks and other articles
with them.
The official bulletin announcing the
annual meetings of the Farmers' Insti-

portant information for those interest-

for East Huron at Brussels, for South
Huron in Hodgins' hall, Hensel], and
for West Huron in the Orange hall,
Nile.
Now that the fly season is near at
hand the following plan of ridding the
kitchen and dining room of the pests
is said to be a good one: -Take a small
stove shovel, heat it red hot, and pour
on it a few drops of carbolic acid, hav-
ing previously closed the doors and
windows. In a few minutes open the
room and the flies will be found to
.have entirely disappeared. Only a
faint odor of the fumes of carbolic
acid will remain.
Localbicyclists may be interested in
the question which is the best oil to
(use in a bicycle lamp. We find the
f following recipe in the last number of
I. the Scientific .Lrnericate-Fill a pint
bottle with two-thirds of the best lard
oil and one-third of headlight rail, to
which add a piece of gum camphor
about the size of an egg. The camphor
is supposed to cause the oil to give a
very white light, and it is said the
lamp will not go out easily.

The country is full of unrest
and speculation from east to west,
politics is the prevailing topic of
the hour -statesmen are handled
without gloves by those unfavor-
able to them, but upheld by those
whose shade of politics reflects
the hues of the particular person;
the standing up to a principle an-
nounced; living and acting it
everywhere and under the most
trying ordeal is the man only to
be relied on. We are continuing
our policy of alike treatment to
all, first-class goods at living prices
guaranteed to give best of ' satis-
faction to all purchasers -no priv-
iliges conferred to any one class
oftraders-let this be the motto
of all statesmen, the motto of
electors, and then the future of

happier. Coigne and examine our
