A number of our Sunday school ofloers and teaohers attended the Convention at Brussels last Tuesday. L.iatovsel. A firm of agrioulturai implement manufacturers from Teeewater have purchased the old foundry building and plant from J. 0. Hay, of Listowel, who bought it at auction on April 29th. This firm is to take charge immediately. For some time past a scheme has been on foot for amalgamating the Brantford Piano Co. with the Listowel Furniture Co., whioh, if accomplished, means the removal of the Brantford piano works to Listowel, and the carrying on of both branches in the new furniture faotory at the latter plaoe. As yet no definite ar- rangement has been arrived at, although we understand that there is a fair pros• peat of its being ooneummated. Samuel Dipple, of Listowel, and wife have had the misfortune to have their 91f -year-old daughterdrowned iu acistern. By some means or other the unfortunate girl lifted the lid of the cistern and fell in. The whole neighborhood was sashed for nearly an hour before the dead body was found. An older sister of the de - o eaeed shortlyatter the accident was passing the cistern and saw the lid part- ly open and closed it, and as a result no suspicion was aroused that she was drowned. Life was quite extinct when she waa found. Gres. Mre. S. Y. Taylor, and children, of Paris, aro visiting at George Crooke'. Ed. Hill was home from Seaforth High Sohool for a few days last week.

Tho father of the late Robert Brown died at his home near Galt, on the 6th inst., at the good old age of 84 years. The funeral tools place on Monday. Tho widow and 11 children are left to mourn his demise, Mr. Brown was an old resident of that locality and was a well- to-do farmer. Mre. Robb. Brown attend- ed the funeral. Next month Mrs. Slater, daughter of John Hill, intends going to Oxbow, As- einaboia, to join her husband. A letter from Oxbow says:—Oxbow is the last town started by the 0. P. R. on the Bran- don and Souris branoh to the coal pita ; for business it ranks A 1, unsurpassed by none in the N. W. T. for snap and go. It has only been started within the last five mouths, and already contains eight general stores, four imploment agenores, two hotels, three livery and sale stables, three blaoksmith shops, one druggist, one dootor, one veterinary, three hardware toren, one harness shop,two tailor shops, one laundry, one shoemaker, two flour and feed stores, one school house, one Orange hall and a number of private residences. In fact you can get every- thing yon want from a needle to an egri- oultural implement. There is no news. paper yet, but I have no doubt but what it will be able to support one in the near future. The streets are rather narrow but the location is all that oonld be de- sired for a good sized town. It stands on en elevation overlooking the Moose Mountain Oreek, whioh gives one an im- pression of the Alps, only on a small scale, with beautiful farms here and there on the banks opposite the town. Taken as a whole the scene is of sur- passing beauty and enchantment. The soil in the immediate vicinity of the town ie of a light and sandy nature with olay subsoil and of great producing quality. Settlers are arriving daily, and owing to the rapidity with which land is taken up one has to go miles from town for homesteading. Vt'roxeter. Business quiet. Fishing all the go.

At a meeting held a few days ago, com- mittees were appointed to look after the different departments of the celebration, and a program was outlined, the par- ticulars of whioh will bo given in future issues. As soon as arrangements are completed, posters will be issued. Court Maitland, of this town, will have full control of the celebration, which is a guarantee that it will be one of whioh no Forester or citizen of Wingham will feel ashamed. 8iiorvi`.

A very interesting program is being prepared oonsisting of readings, recitations, music and an address on China, by Rev. F. M. Slathers, of Lusk - now. Everybody is welcome. The school trustees have added to the school premises ten rods of fine close fence. We would suggest that they ex- tend the said fence another ten rode north with Mt. Cober's permission and thus add another half store to the child- ren's play -ground. Really they have no place to play games of skill regnis- ing placing of players or throwing or knocking of balls, and the neighbors complain greatly of broken fences and trodden fields because balls will fly and boyo will follow. The prioe of quite a pisco of ground would be saved in a little while in the saved fence. Genorn,1 Ne-wia. Mr. Gladstone's writings fill 22 pages of the British Museum catalogue. Three hundred and eighty.eix birds were killed during the past year by flying into the lights of the Statue of Liberty at New York. It is stated on what seems to be pretty oauthority g ori that the coffee sold at well- known grocery stores in Chicago is own. posed of a mixture of mahogany sawdust, ground peas, rya, wheat, acorns, oak tan- bark, and the baked liver of horses. The concoction is oompressed into the form of coffee beano and tells readily to persona who, while suspicious of coffee already ground, have never supposed that what named to be coffee beans could bo other than genuine. Some of the astonishing specimens of skill in the art of food adul. teration whioh Cbieago has produced ought to be exhibited in tiie World's Fair, The Encore says that Wiartou should now be incorporated as a town, having the nee eesary population.

In the midst of a terrible storm of wind and rain Sunday morning two "Big 4" trains ran into each other near Cleves, 0., with awful effeot. Freight No. 43 had orders to stop at North Bend to allow express No. 80, a Dannon ball special, to pass. The trains passed at anobhir point some miles further on. Instead of stopping the freight engineer pulled ahead and approached Cloves, running about 20 miles an hour. Why he did not stop at North Bend will be never known, as he is dead. The two locomotives Dame together with terrible effect, both were battered into a shape- less masse and tumbled into the climb. The oars behind were smashed into kind. ling and the track for 100 feet was torn tip. With the arrival of the speoial train, the work of getting out the dead began—up to six o'clook five bodies had been recovered, four of them shockingly mangled and mashed out of all human shape. Under the freight engine, all bruised and scalded were found engineer William Hidds and his fireman, Hiram Bruce, both of Indianapolis. Under a mashed freight oar further book Philip Gibbon and David Harwood were found. Nearly every bone in their bodies were broken and their faces horribly disfigur• ad. The fifth body was that of Berry Edwards, g en ineer passenger of the ascan train. er rain. Fireman Taylor, y , Oonduotor John Suhroe. der, of the passenger train and George W. Hudler, a commercial traveller, were caught under the wreck and all bad their chests crushed. All three will die.

Those Rutleage,r Rheumatism, BEING due to the presence of uric 13 acid in the blood, is most effectually cured by the use of Ayer's Sarsapa- rilla. Be sure you get Ayer's and no other, and take it till the poisonous acid is thoroughly expelled from the system. We challenge attention to this testimony : — "About two years ago, after suffering for nearly two years from rheumatic gout, being able to walk only with great discomfort, and having tried various remedies, including mineral waters, witbout relief, I saw by an advertise- ment in a Chicago paper that a man had been relieved of this distressing com- plaint, after long suffering, by taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, I then decided to make a trial of this medicine, and took it regularly for eight months, and am pleased to state that it has effected a complete cure. I have since had no re- turn of the disease."—Mrs. R. Irving .Dodge, 110 West 123511 st., New York. "One year ago I was taken ill with inflammatory rheumatism, being con- fined to my house six months. I came out of the sickness very much debili- tated, with no appetite, and my system disordered in every way. I commenced using Ayer's Sarsaparilla and began to improve at once, gaining in strength and soon recovering my usual health. I cannot say too much in praise of this well-known medicine." —Mrs. L. A.
