The box social, in connection with the L 0. G. T. here, Thursday evening, Sept. 5th, was a most enjoyable affair. A good program and moat appetizing boxes. We Molesworthites feel a sort of mild contempt for our Cranbrook oou'eins on account of their inability to set a value on their girls, whom we know to be of no mean order. If the assortment is so poor why nob ship in a few speoimens from our village to raise the general tone, as I believe some of the far-sighted Cranbrook lade would like to do, If on the other hand the quality is invaluable, doubtless the secret of there being so few taken lieu in the quality of the would-be purchas- ers. Perhaps if the standard of the bidders were raised there would be a sud- den • ohange inthe market. 13elg°ra,ve. Farmers are disposing of their cord- wood. The prises are lower than last year.

Brad. win, of the Blyth Standard, offers his paper for one year as a donation for best looking pair of ovine. It is somewhat singular for a young bachelor, to take such an iutereat in that olass of exhibits. We presume the usual rules are to be followed, viz. : Articles to become the property of the donor. Bro. Bradwin will probably have his bands fall if the articles are to be his property. Lea,dbttirv. Drs. Fraser, of Stratford, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Fletcher Roe.

By good fortune none of the workmen were in a position of danger as the mass of brikk falling in on them would certainly have caused serious injury. Immediate steps were token for replaaiug the damaged portion. Another of Listowel's old residents has passed away in the person of Mrs. Chas.
