The tax collector is on his rounds: The rate this year being lower than for some years, 14 nuUs on the dollar, the taxpayer consequently wears a broader smile.

In St. Marys hundred r s o er five v omen have pledged themselves to do t eir Saturday shopping early enough enable business men to close their stores at eight o'clock. A similar ar- rangement might be of advantage here. Another case of did-not-know-it-was- loaded idtrot know -it -was - loaded happened at Tilbury, Friday. Arthur Cowley was hatidling. a re- volver, when it went off, and 'the bal- let went through his hand and entered his leg. It cannot be located, and he is in .a bad way. The Entrance, a teachers' paper pub- lished in Toronto, states that it has been authorized bythe EducationDe- partment to say at there will be no change in the High School Entrance and Public School Leaving for next year, but that the exam. for 1897 will be the same as in 1896. The concert at Farquhar on Thurs- day evening last was a grand success. The program was a most excellent one, while the hall was packed to the doors,many persons being present from istant, points.. At the conclus- ion of the concert the young folk 'en- joyed themselves in the mazy dance. Some time ago J. I. Armitage, an American apple buyer created much excitement among the Oxforclfarmers by arranging to purchase large quan- tities of apples at unusually high prices. He contracted for several thousand barrels, and was to have packed on Oct. 15. Two weeks ago he left, and has not been seen since. The e farmers i 'n n are now beginning g to fear that they have been duped. The sus- picion is gaining ground that Armi- tage was sent out by the American dealers to block the Canadian market and give the Americans a chance to work off their stock. 1'H EXk;TER TIME.

David Lang, who has been visiting friends in and around Exeter for the past several months, returned to his home in Winnipeg Tuesday nror'ning. `Vallace, the eldest son of Mr. Wm. Fisher, had the sad misfortune to have his arm broken while playing around his fathe'rs farm. the other day. Quite a number of the Devon sports, with some of Exeter's hest men, went out for game on Monday, and succeed- ed in bagging a large number of Partridges. Mr. Flynn, of Crediton, has bought t e residence lately occupied by Mr, F Tow1 and owned by W. J. Carling, uated on Mill street, and has taken session. r. Wm.

Henry Alining, age 15, son of Mrs. Arming, of Kincardine, while attend- ing a planing machine in Watson & Malcolm's factory, had his left arm severed just below the shoulder. Mr. Arming was a grand -son of the late Mrs. Templeton, of Exeter. A very thin Siniconian who dearly desires to have a corporation built on the plan of Mr. Charles Austin's sent away a dollar in response to an ad. : "How to get fat, by one who leas done it." The reply was printed on a slip of paper, and read : "Buy it at the butcher's." The Epworth League musical en- tertainment in the Main street church on Tuesday evening was a thorough success. An excellent program was presented and every number was well rendered. The attendance was fairly large, the proceeds amounting to over $16. Abner Fuller, of Usborne, the other day dug from one of bis fields six potatoes which weighed in the aggre- gate thirteen pounds. One alone weighed 4 pounds. This beat Mr. Jefferson, of Hullett, mtention of whose potatoes was made in last week's Timms.. While riding on a waggon, return- ing from Grand Bend yesterday, John Spackman was thrown out of the rig onto the ground, by the waggon com- ing in sudden contact wits a high culvert on the road. One of his fingers was broken besides his face in scarred. he The attention of teachers holding third-class certificates is called to the fact that if they expect to obtain second-class certificates they should do so this year, otherwise they will come under the new regulations and will be compelled tostudy two or three -different languages. Mrs. Samuel Smith, who went to Ridgetown, to wait' on her daughtexl' Annie, who has been sick with the fever and pleurisy for the past twelve weeks, returned home on Tuesday.

Locke on Sunday evening last preached a very interesting Sermon to the congregation of Main st church, on. money and its various relations.. The' discourse was as practical one and con-' tanned many valuable suggestions. Rev.

Deceased had been ill for some time, of consumption, and her demise was not unexpected. She had attained the age of 27 years, and was highly respected by her acquaint antes. The funeral, on Saturday was largely attended. The parents and family have the sympathy of the community in their loss of an estim- able daughter and sister. A BROKEN LEG.—While working in the gravel pit on Saturday last Thos. Snell, of Huron street, had his leg broken. He was shovelling gravel into the waggons, when the bank caved in, and being unable to get out of the way in time, a heavy load of clay fell upon one of his legs, breaking it between the ankle and foot, to such an extent that the bones protroded through his boot, the joint which holds the ankle bones,' being forced out onto the ground. This bone was not replaced which will result in short- ening the leg. He is progressing favorably. How &toUZD THEYrvIDR ?—At a fall fair held recently a couple of genticuten arranged to exhibit a horse. The expenses and winnings to be shared equally by each. The horse won a prize amounting to $I3. One of the partners of the scheme, who for convenience may be termed B, bor- rowed $6 from the other partner, A. .The expenses iu connection with the exhibition of the horse were $3.75. Now the partners and a number of local mathematicians are worging. themselves over the problem how much if anything A. owes B. How would you divide the money ? HURON'S DISTRICT MEDAL, -In an- swer to au enluiry from County Clerk Lane on behalf of the Goderich Horti- cultural Society., Mr. A. H. Pettit re- plied that a few clays ago he received the medals awarded at the World's Fair for Ontario fruit exhibits, eleven c belongs number, and one of which in g to Huron.says He ' the Minister of Agriculture is very anxious that, in- stead of distributing these amongst the districts, they should.. all be put in a suitable case or frame and hung up in the Legislative buildings, where, he thinks, they will be more beneficial as an advertisement of what this P•rov- ince can do in fruit. FUNERAL REPOrni.—Rev. Di.'. Lang- try, of St. Luke's Anglican church, Toronto, has inaugurated a movement which, though it has been in opera- tion several years in Great Britain, is new to Canadian English . churchmen. A burial society has been formed among members of the church and has for its object the reduction ofexcessive burial charges. The society intends to furnish funerals complete for twenty-five dollars or less. A uniform style of hearse and coffin will be used and ser- vices will be conducted at the church, thus saving cab and carriage expenses. Dr. Langtry claims the Presbyterians, Methodists a o re li ious bodies IYo and ]her are in sympathy and will likely follow as soon as the success -)f the scheme is assured. It is propo..:1 to make a con- tract with a city undertaker.

APPLE GRUBS.—A snccesaful farme gave a note of warning the other, day in regard to the apple crop. The short crops of the a past two years have had the effect of almost exterminating the worm. The apples this year are remarkably sound and free from grub. To prevent recurrence of the evil, apple growers should not allow the fruit to lie under the trees for any length of time. It is better to use them as feed for stock than to wait the chance of a sale attho risk of prodnc- ing a plague of grubs. TowN AND TOWNS tr CLERKS.—Last Friday there was a meeting convened in the Council Chamber, Clinton, by County ClerkLane. There werepresent re sent Messrs. Campbell, Smilie,SturdY,Er- win, rout P y, •Hess, Cairns, Morrison and Coats, the latter being appointed Secretary. The object of the meeting was to secure uniformity of procedure in connection with the approaching election of County Councillors, and a committee.was appointed to draft an advertisement conveying the necessary information to nominating officers and municipal clerks, whose report was adopted. On motion of Morrison and Campbell an Association of Clerks of Huron was formed, County ClerkLane being elected president and Town Clerk Coats secretary. The meetings s g of the Association, which have been formed for the purpose of mutual raiz- provernent and the better performance of municipal duties, will be held annually in Clinton, following theJune County Council. The Secretary was instructed to draft a requisition to the new County Council explaining the ad- vantages vantages of such an Association, and asking that body to bear the necessary expenses of Clerks in attending the h e annual xneetii g. Such an At.sociation should be endorsed and assisted by the County Council The necessity for such an organization is quite evident, How Are Youizax Fixed in the way of winter wear ?

Bethune and Furrows, Seaforth ; Taylor and Thompson, Goderich; Agnew, Londes- bore ; Kennedy, Wingharn ; `MeOash, Belgrave ; Stanbury, Batyfielc ; Arm- strong, $rucefiokl ; Gunn, Clinton. Interesting papers were read by Dr. Gunn, on Hernia. Dr. Bethune, Tape- worm, Dr. Taylor, on Diphtheria. The association was of the opinion that as diphtheria was so prevalent this seas- on, and that this country is generally invaded by the scourge once or twice every year, the county council should take some steps to have a quantity of anti tox nekept in some central locality easy of access. As anti-texine is now considered essential in the prevention and cure of this disease, the great dif- ficulty being to keep the material from spoiling, a special pace must be pre- pared, and a committee was appointed tci meet the county council regarding taking such steps.
