Lumber and Togs were swept in large quantities down the river. At one time there was every indication that the new bridge, which was built last Summer, would share rhe fate of the former in a similar flood last Spring. The losses are estimated at $4,500. Apart from the losers, it will be a drawback to the tows as it will be some time before the saw- mill can be rebuilt. Lltetow el.

FAnatnns' Insrimomn.—There Was not a very large attendance at the meeting held in the Town Ball, Listowel, on Tuesday morning of last week, but in the after- noon the hall was filled and much in- terest taken in the prooeedinge. Donald Jaolc, of Mornington, took the chair, and John A. Turnbull, the secretary kept a record of the meetings. The morning mission was opened by Mr. Zavitz, of the 0. A. C., Guelph, who spoke of the benefit of clover growing. The real reason of the advantage of growing clover is be. cause. clover has the ,power of drawing nitrogen from the atosphere and thus making 11 available for the use of plants. There, are 72 or 78 elements that go to make up the growth of plants. In ordin- ary soil seven of these conetitaenbs exist and the others ore sometimes absent. Nitrogen, pioepborio aoid and potash are the elements most often wanting. The Experimental Farts at Guelph has sent out packages -of oats with fertilizers; 160 lbs, of nitrogen of soda to an acre has increased the orop about Iii' bushels per sore. This would not pay, but by grow- ing Clover we get the Same result. Nitro- gen -in the soil is what we get from nitro. gen of soda and the olover draws nitrogen from the atmosphere. The warts or knots on the roots of the clover have the power of absorbing nitrogen from the air through the foliage. g e, In taking up aar crop of bay and then ploughing tip, the, land is rioher than before. From a prop we get about $8;20 worth of nitrogen, ie rated et the same price a9 fertilisers. Clover has also deep tap roots which draw up phosphoric acid and potash from the eub.soil. Clover fornieone of the most valuable foods and if we save all the manure wo put bask about 75 per cent. •TH.l BR.tT$'a of nitrogen to the land.

Catch. as -Catch -Can, Just about nineteen years ago, Dear Jamie Munroe, thou didet rush about after the contest was over, with hat in hand, cheering lustily for a certain youth, then of the Manchester House, whose good wind, muscle and "Grape- vine" trip won the day against five men, every one heavier than himself. So here's the story :— One bright Summer afternoon, on the old cricket ground in the town of Clinton there were met together a number of sports, and after a friendly game of cricket, during which there was a little fun made at Sandy's bad playing, a dispute arose between 3'. M. and T. J. about wrestling, where- upon a youth, who had learned his trips at the school on the 5th Con., Morris, stopped forward and threw five men (one after the other), viz.: T. J., a bus driver ; Asa, who then sold lightning rods ; a Blacksmith; a Bar Ton- der ; and last of all a noted Cricketer. Why do SMITH & MCLAItEN sell five times the quantity, yes five times, more Readymado Clothing than any other store in town, and have for the last fif- teen years ?
