John Yattereon and bride left on Wed- nesday of last week for Virden,Maniteha, where they purpose making their home for the present. Fall wheat is yielding on an average of about 80 bushels to the acre, Tho 1'inglish barley is it good sample and a good cleat of it will not bo far behind the seed in plumpness and color. We are sorry to hoar that Dougald Taylor, who formerly lived in Morris township, was a heavy loser by the re- melt halt storm in Deloraine, Manitoba. Tho beet part of his Drop was destroyed. Tins Stmt.—Miss Ellen McCall has been dangerously ill for the last two weeks with lung trouble, but we aro glad to say is this week slightly improved,— Miss L. Clonnan of the 7th coo. has been siok for a week but is now convalescent. f>re V. Win, King has gone on a trip to Mani- toba. Township Counoil on Friday, 29th inst. llfre. Enema Odell had the misfortune to fall recently and dislocate one of her MEMO. There is another wedding on the ear. pet, so they say. Sandy don't deny it himself, Big wages have been paid for harvest hands, working by the day, during the peat week or so. , James McDonald lost a valuable mare last week, ebo being dead before the farrier could be got. Mies Ella MaLauehlin intends going to Ottawa on Monday where she will at- tend the Normal school during the next session. The weather is all that could be desir- ed for harvesting. Cutting will be fin- ished in most places this week, while a great many will have it all in the barna. Fall wheat is now being threshed for need to make room in the barns for other grain. The average yield will be about 30 bushels per acre and the grain of good duality. Alex. D. Grant left on Wednesday of this week for Langdon, Dakota, where he goes to assist Robb. Work, a former resident of this township, in gathering in the harvest. We know somebody who will oft -time sing "Will ye no come back mein." AccmENT.—On July 31st John D., eldest eon of David Campbell, 17th con. of Grey township, had the misfortune to have three of the fingers taken off his right band in a planing mill at Matawa, about 80 miles from Duluth. The patient is doing as well as could be expeoted un• der the circumstances. Now that m branch of the society called the "Kuigbts of Rent" is to be establish- ed in Brussels, we might ask if people from the country would be admitted as members. If so, we don't think it would be too mnoh to ask the head function- aries to send out a few copies of the "Constitution and by-laws." Pecmirr0 OATe: John Bqm, lot 4, con. 14, pulled a bunch of oafs containing twenty-one well developed stalks, being the production of a single seed. On one of these heads 148 grains were counted. It was found to average ninety grains per head, making a grand total of 1,800 from a single grain. These oats are of the White Egyptian variety. Ethel. Mrs. J. A. Young was visiting at Rip- ley last week. The heavy rain this week bas delayed the harvest. A number of the farmers have all their grain out. We are pleased to hear that Miss Cale has reoeived the appointment of organist in the English church, Brussels. We will vouch for her ability to perform the duties of the position. Apigeon shoot will be held in Ethel on Friday of this week, 22nd inst., when members of the Stratford, Listowel, At- wood, Ethel, Brussels and Wingbam gun clubs are expected to compete. John Burton will present a trap to the winners. In the evening a ball will be held at the Hotel Royal to conclude the proceedings. M.tcnnsoNlw.—On Wednesday, August 8th a large and joyous company aesemb. led in the Methodist church, which was handsomely decorated for the occasion, Crustal City, Manitoba, to witness the tying of the nuptial knot between Jas. P. Smith, of Crystal City, a former resi- deht of Huron Go., to Miss Margaret 3., eldest daughter of Andrew Sharp, of this place. Rev. Mr. Buchanan performed the ceremony. The bride woo supported by Miss Ada Werry and the groom by R. J. Sharp, brother to the bride, This being khe first wedding in the church a handsome bible was presented to the bride by the Trustee Board. After re- ceiving the kisses and congratulations of a large portion of the audienoe the bridal party prooeeded to the residence of E. Rollins (amidst showers of rice) where a sumptuous repeat was provided. The bride wont out to Manitoba in March 1889 and is greatly pleased with the country.

Mies Maggie MaLauehlin has gone to New York, A number of new books have lately been added to the Mechanics' Institute library. J. A. Morton and I4. Clark attended the Grand Lodge of Oddfoliowe, in To• routo, last week. Jas. Sutherland, for some years past employed with his brother, David Seth. inland, has purchased the stove and tin business of Jas. Lennox, of Gerrie. Jas. A. Cline, who has been confined to his house for the past three menthe by a severe attack of illness, has, we are pleased to state, so far recovered as to be able to attend at his place of business a portion of each day. Hutton & Carr are contemplating put- ting up a building on their Lower Town property in which to put an electric light plant if they receive suficientenoourage- ment from the townspeople. They will also put in several rine of stone and do gristing and chopping also. Last Friday was our civic holiday. A large number of our citizens visited Kin- cardine where oar fire brigade took let prize, Both of our Bands went. The cricket club went to Brussels where they reoeived a bad beating. Single fare rates were granted on both railroads, tioitets good for two days. So much for!compe- tition. Gilchrist, Green it Co., of the Union furniture factory, have their saw mill moved and in place. They were just four days moving it down, erecting it in its new location, and siding and shingling it. They are now enlarging their engine room and intend putting in another boiler alongside the new one now in use, to supply power to run the saw mill. Litidlow el. Rev. Jas. Livingstone will be et Grims- by Park next Sunday, and his pulpit will be filled in the morning by B. Falkner and in the eveniug by Rev. Dr. Gunner. Rev. Isaac Campbell, pastor of Knox church, who has been away on his sum. mer variation, will occupy his pulpit next Sunday. Rev. Mr. Norris, of Glenallen, officiated last Sabbath. The most lively business In our town just now is the flax mill of J. & J. Liv- ingstone. During the past week farmers could be seen coming into town from the four points of the compags with wagons laden with flax. The fine warm weather of the past week has been very benofioial for the gathering up of the early harvest and now the buzz of the thresher is heard from farm to farm. The fall wheat is reported to be yielding in good shape. No appointment has yet been made by the Bishop of Heron to the vacant pulpit of the Christ church. It is understood the names of two rev. gentlemen have been submitted to his lordship by the vestry meeting, either one of which would be acceptable to the congregation. The people of Listowel had their civic holiday on Thursday of last week. The day was observed in a free•and•eaey sort of way by the citizens, some taking in Kincardine band and firemen's tourna- ment, while quite a number took advant- age of the two day's cheap fare to To- ronto. Others went pio-nicing to the ad. jaoent woude. Men of all shades of politics are ask- ing each other what about the election protest, but no definite answer comae. On the one hand the Conservatives maintain their ability to upset the elec- tion, and the Reformers on the other hand are just as fervent in abut -tutting" the whole thing. Anyway there will be anxiety on all hands until the thing is tested. Amos Weber, a respected yeoman near our town; has the sympathy of the whole community in his sad bereavement, he having had the misfortune to have bis young son accidentally killed the other day by a separator wheel passing over his body. Ho was a bright lad of nine years, who became interested in the novelty of Mr. Keesalv'8 traction engine, which was going from one farm to another, and while attempting to got a ride on the tongue of the separator, which was fee. toned to the engine, he lost his bold and fell, the estimator passing over him.

On Monday, 18th inst., Geo. Cox oom. laeted 60 years oontinmouely at the print- ing trade, the greatest part of the time having been spent in the town of Gods - rich, and in the Signal office. There is a family in Whalem who have a great love for pets. They aro in poseeseion of a pigeon, 2 guinea hens and three canines and a useless "perp." The hens koop up a continual racket always, A gentleman travelling on the Huron road from Clinton to Dublin, a few days ago, counted no fewer than 110 hay Anoka within range of the eye in that distance. Each stook probably contains about ten tons, which will give some idea of the magnitude of the hay crop. Andrew Govenlock, of Winthrop, had fifty acres of fall wheat this season which averaged over 40 bushels per acre. He purchased his seed last fell at $1.60 per bushel. He was afraid then that he had made a mistake, paying so much for his sped, but be now realizes that good Beed pays. A four-year-old son of Thomas Sweet, of Exeter, met with a serious accident the other day. The farm hands were engaged drawing grain, and while the empty wagon was standing in the barn the little fellow climbed upon it to have a r'de, but, the wagon starting suddenly, he fell between the hind wheel and box, hie head being crushed to such an extent that his eyes were bulged from their sockets, while the baso of his skull was badly fractured. Ile is now lying in a critical condition. An agricultural society not far away invited a gentleman or a well-known name in a neighboring town to act as one of the judges on poultry at its coming fall show, and reoeived the following amusing reply : "I beg to abate that my knowledge of poultry don't amount to much. In some cases I can distingnish a rooster from a hen, if I happen to catch him crowing ; but aa I have been known to make a mistake even with that evidence, I think it would. be mom satisfactory to the exhibitors if you would get some one one else." It was simply a mistake in the Coat(e)e. The Clinton New Era says :—We are informed that the salt business hereto- fore carried on by L. Rrightmyer & Ou,, at Seaforth, has been terminated. A new assooiation of the salt mennfao- turers has been formed with head office in this town. Our esteemed citizen John McGarva has been appointed Vice-pre- sident, and L. Rightmyer, of Kincardine, President. In these days it is apparent- ly impossible to carry on the business of Balt malting except some system of unification be adopted, without all parties incurring loss. Present prima of salt are seoh as nobody can find fault with, it bring literally es cheap as dirt. BIOvourm.—The Forest City Bicycle Club, of London, left that city on Satur- day afternoon on their annual outing. They reached Exeter on Saturday night, where a halt was made. Early Sunday morning s start was made for Goderiah in the face of a rainstorm, and making good time they reached there during the afternoon in good order. After having their wants oarefully attended to by the host of Si British Exchange hotel, Capt. G. B. Cox, ex•oaptain of the Goderiah club, they took in the sights of the beau- tiful town. In the evening, by special invitation, they attended service in Knox ahurob. Monday Mlle club was up bright and early preparing to surprise the citizens by giving an exhibition around the square. A parade was first in order. W. H. Grenfell, of Toronto, conveying the party and the full foroe of the home club joining. After going through many movement, the entire party were photographed while on the move. Afterwards they were received by Mayor Butler, who in a witty speech welcomed the boys, who at the finish gave three hearty oheere for hie worship and the Queen. A pleasing feature of the parade was the appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Payne who rode on a tricycle and Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Lambs, who used s tandem bicycle, and were loudly applau- ded as they passed around the court honsesquare at the head of the procession. After nearly two hours' riding through the principal streets, the party returned to the hotel, where they dispersed.
