Tire weather was favorable and the attend- ance large, and a pleasant time was spent by the young folk. A number of the Senior League were present and. provided amusement for the little ones. Oliver Hodge and another gentleman of Mitchell, while driving northward along Main street, Sunday night, their rig collided with another going in the opposite direction. Mr. Hodges' rig fared somewhat badly, the shafts be- ing broken and the axles sprung. They returned to town, and after having the buggy repairs they proceeded d e home next day. Furious driving on a crowd- ed street is a dangerous practise. One of Charles Snell's ..delivery horses ran away with the butcher cart and a boy on Monday morning. The driver had left the rig to watch the drilling ' machine working, when the g' ' horse, .becoming frightened of the engine started off. The boy jumped from the cart and the horse in turn ing concussion or the brain might follow the corner fell, when it was caught, but late reports indicate that Mir. �thus averting possible aeeilent or Green is gettmg on nicely. damage' RUNAWAY. -While at the depot Monday, George Cudmore's horse was frightened by the train and ran away, coning down town at a rapid rate.

The threshers are busy now, and have three months . of steady work before in" ti {, to the boys School's again and girls.

These are some that may interest you.• SAVE THE SHADE 'Tin Es: It is ap- parent, from the condition of many of the shade trees on the streets, that persistent attention must be given to them by an expert, or they will soon die. Numbers are already showing undoubted symptoms of decay that might have been arrested. had titnely and persistent attention been extended to thein. It is not too late, howeyer, for the authorities to take action. There are thousands of trees remaining that could not be replaced without the expenditure of a large sum of money and labor, and a wait of long years. It is safe to say that the trees enhance the value of property to a handsome ex- tent. Is it not a public duty to save o t of Theyare not the property their . } p y individual taxpayers, enc. it is ap- parently no use to trust to owners or tenants to look after thein. The work can only be effectually done by the constant care of an expert, who will be able to decide in each case the cause of the decay, whether from. insect or other causes, and shall take every needed precaution to preserve trees now in a healthy condition. It will cost money to do this. Yes ; but are the certain results not worth the needed expenditure ? LAcEossE. - On Friday last the "Beavers", of Seaforth, drove to Exe- ter and played a friendly game with the Exeter team. Ball was faced at 4 o'clock before a large crowd of spectators, who witnessed one of the best conducted lacrosse games ever contested on the grounds. The play- ing was of the scientific kind, "slug- ging" being introduced in a single nsnce. When time was finally cal- led the score stood 6 to 1 in favor of Seaforth. In the evening a promen- ade concert was tendered the visitors, at which a very large crowd of town's people were present. A splendid pro- gram was presented, while the re- freshments were of the very best.

Kinsman is making, in the constructionre of his new office and residence. The office is already com- pleted and it is a marvel of neatness and completeness, filling all the de- mands of modern dentistry. The re- ception rooms for ladies and gentle- men are each complete in themselves, containing comfortable chairs and lounges and pressed brick fire places, with toilet rooms adjoining. There are two operating rooms, each containing a modern operating chair and appli- ances. One thing very striking, and a feature of the up-to-dateness of the establishment, is the new improved Clark fountain cuspadore and saliva ejector. The latter consists of a sy- phon which carries the saliva from the mouth of the subject in the chair, while a continual stream of water in the cuspadore carries away the saliva, ensuring the highest cleanliness and avoiding anything offensive to the sight or smell. There are work rooms and everything that goes to make up a first-class establishment of the kind. The residence is well under way and will be a decided adjunct to the many beautiful residences of the town. It will be of stone and red pressed brick.
