Mr. George Habkirk, of McKillop, near Seaforth, dug and completed 40 rods of tile drains on his farm this fall, notwithstanding the fact that he is 79 years of age. Mr. Habkirk did not do this as a matter of necessity but as a matter of choice,.as he likes to have his hands as well as his mind employed. Last week R. fiotham's driving mare ran away from the Royal hotel stables at Seaforth, as she was being hitched by the hostler, Miss Ada Drake, niece of Mr. Hotham, w3.,s in in the buggy, but sprang out when the animal started. After a short run, the frightened animal turned on to the sidewalk and fell, badly fracturing her shoulder blade. Th Clinton New Era says : There are four places in this neighborhood that are known by dual names, and the use of these names sometimes cause confusion by people misdirecting letters. The village of Kinburn has the post office name of Constance. The village of Manchester has the post office name of Auburn. Leeburn near ± oderich, has the postal name of Dunlop, while Smith's Hill is known in the mail service as Carlow.

Leeburn post offiice in Algona ; a Manchester post office in Ontario county, and a Smith's Mills which is very much like Smith's Hill when written, in Stanstead. People some- times direct letters to "Kinburn" which they intend for "Constance" or sometimes to "Manchester" which they intend for "Auburn," and so on, causing delay to themselves and an- noyance to mail clerks. This could in a measure, be overcome by the public sticking to one name, as for instance, using Auburn instead of the more familiar "Manchester," and the same with the other places, and in the course of time they would be known by the one name only. =STiW. r:• CK F... nut International Stock Food We have lust received a big shipment of . this. celebrated Stock Food put up in pails and packages. 50 cts. and $3.75 lemembriormsacectext :erbageum Stock Food 25 and 50 cents per package.
