Total......... 2298 08 34240 59 The Stratford Hedge Fence Company. At the invitation of T. T. Watson, Agent of The Stratford Hedge Fence Co., weto•day visited rho head office. Our mission was to investigate for ourselves and to aeoertain whether the company was incorporated, what patents it any they held, and whether o fence construct- ed under their methods of treatment really was a good, sentential structure. We were shown through the books of the company, the government charter and pateute, and oontraots for the construe - Hon of 00,000 rode of hedge fences. The boolts show an immense volume of busi• nese ; the stock ledger contains the names of the shareholders, 82 in number, mostly farmers and all highly respectable and promiuent men. We found that the company was incorporated with a paid up capital of $70,000 and held patents on the system of plashing and on the ills,. plernents for doing the work. After viewing the plant bed, where the hooey locust plants ore propagated, the delega- tion drove out the St. Mary's road (viewing the hedge fences on the way) and down through the gore of Downie and South Eaathope, where long etretoh- es of thrifty hedges were seen. After dinner at Taviel0ok, the party set out for Sebaotapool, where they saw 40 rods of the nicest and most substantial fence a man could conceive of. The plants had been set in one straight row, and when plaohed made a better appearance than where two rows had been set. By this method or treatment, that is, bend- ing the trees at the root at an angle of 45 degrees, and attaching to them horizon• tally, by meals of staples, four wired. The shoots come out all along the upper side of the bent trunks, growing upward. The fenoo then oonsiste of trees loaning diagonally, the wires horizontally, and the shoots growing upright, interweaving among the trunks and wires, making a complete net work, through which no domestic anitnal could pass. This being all covered with a bright green, thick foliage, is very pretty, and the contrast very etrilsing between this substantial and boautifnlfence and the old ueelees row of trees. Bono of the objectionable features so often urged against the fence were noticeable here. No suckers Homs up through from the roots, no injury is drone the oropr growing alongside. No damage by cattle browsing on the fence, From there the party went east and saw a honey lootiet hedge treated according to the old country notion of plashing, that is, by interweaving the branches through each other, This is not much better than the upright hedge, which has alwayo proved useless, the growth all go- ing to the top, leaving the, bottom bare of foliage, With large opening% between the plants, through evluoh hogs and sheep could pass. Further on were a lot of one and two year old hedges ; a plant of the latter measuring nine foot high. There aro thouoande of rods of old hedges in Wilmot and Waterloo toe/1t814e, some plashed, others top trimmed, and others growing upright. Wo are well satisfied. with the whole business, the reliability of the company, and the merits of the ranee, and will be pleased to give our neighbors any information they may ask for, at the same time we have no hesita- tion in reuommendhtg its adoption as the best fends extant, (II, AlooNAv, Reeve of Morrie.

D. 13. McDonald, who claims to hail from Owen Sound, and who has been at Niagara Falls anxious to get a walk and do a performance on Calverley's three- quarter incl] cable across Niagara's gorge, has made arrangements to lease the oable and enclosures from Calvertey's man in charge, and announced on hand- bills his first performance would take place last Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'- olook. At that hour a heavy downpour of rain took place. After the storm he jumped on a passing electric car, drum• mad up a small party from a crowd of picnickers and started to the wire at 3 o'clock. A. stiff breeze was blowing, so much so that the spectators bad to bold fast to their straw hats to keep them on. Nothing daunted, the young man with pole in hand and sailor suit over his tights, started out on the cable, picking hie way carefully. Upon reaching the centro of the wire he eat down, pulled off the sailor jacket and pantaloons, tied them to the wire, stripped a white linen shirt over bis head and dropped it into the river. He then arose and continued his journey to the A.merioan side. Upon reaching there Ile turned around and re. traoed his steps to the Canadian end. Upon reaching the sailor suit he had left tied, he donned the jacket and tied the pants around his ehouldees and mentioned the journey. When 100 feet from the Canadian end he hung with one hand and swung round the wire at full length, hanging on with tia$lands ; laid down at full length on his bank, hung with his legs and stood up at full length on the wire, just merely touching his pole,which was hanging on the wire perpendioularly.

GET a program of Brussels Celebration for Wednesday of next week. THE Atwood Bee remarks :—The East Huron Fall Fair will be held in Brussels on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 5th and 0011. The lists will be got out at once for distribution. This early distribution of the prize lists is a capital idea and worthy of imitation by the Elma Agri- cultural Society. The lists should be on at least from six to eight weeks prior to the clay of show. This would afford ex. hibitore ample time to decide upon what to exhibit and also time to prepare a much larger exhibit than they otherwise would. There is n0 satisfaction in hav- ing to Imetie together a lot of stuff on a day or two's notice, Duly to learn that for much of it no prize is offered. The East Huron direo'ors have shown wisdom in this matter. EPwowree LoAODE.—Last Monday even. ing a Temperance program was presented at the League meeting at the Methodist church.
