Look out for a Ohrlettuas tree, '1'llo roads aro very bad just now. Some farmers frotu near here say they pan do a great dual better eel. ling their grain in Bruesele than at Listowel, According to announcement Rev. Dr. Williama was here on Monday evening and although the weather was very unfavorible and the roads in a terrible condition a fair audience turned out to hear the lecture. The chair was taken at 8 p. m. by J. Gim- blett, and for 1ihrs. the Dr. held the elms attention of his audlenoe. Tho Dr. has promised to return sometime in the future and give a sermon, and I am sure he will be greeted by a large audience. Ettlieyai 4a• Our fanners de not appreciate the beauty of "The Beautiful" which at present covers their turnip patohee, and are anxiously praying for a ther- mal wave. The Orangemen will commemorate "Guy Fawkes' day" with a supper at Johnston's hotel and will be address- ed by Rev. J. S. Cook, Thos. Farrow, M. P., and some lesser Orange lights. John Burgess, who was severely injured a week ago, by falling out of a waggon, is now able to be up, and is rapidly recovering. The Foresters have secured au eligible site, and will erect, at once a neat and commodious hall. It will be 24x50 feet and will cost $580. Godex'iclx. Hallowe'en was quiet, Salvation Army must be bearing fruit.—Quite heavy lee on the water pails on the morn of Hallowe'en.—All Saints day fell on Sunday this year.—Light flurries of snow on Sunday and Mon- day last.—Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Wade are in town visiting friends. --John Bates, assistant of Joseph Edwards, butcher, died on Saturday last of pros- tration. He was thrown out of the butcher's wagon a couple of weeks ago and broke two of his ribs and otherwise injured himself, and prob- ably went out too soon after his re- covery. He leaves a wife and two little children.—Very little siaknees in town.—Are you vaccinated ? seems to be the most absorbing question.— The Giderich tannery, owned by Messrs. Smith, has been newly shing- led. The proprietor, although advo- cating strictly temperance opinions, on the Salvation Army platform, ev- idently does not want his roof im- mersed with the temperance liquid even if the earth is "fiat."—Two echoouors, an American one and the E. W. Rathburn, Name into port on Sunday last laden with coal. 8313'tla- Mr. and Mrs. Black, nee Miss Laid- law, who were here on their wedding trip from Regina, last week, left for their Altura home in the West. Messrs. McKinnon & McWilliams have almost completed their pork packing factory and the Blyth people will live high this winter feasting on spare rib. Hector Buie, Principal of a Busin- ees College in Montreal, paid his par. exits a flying visit this week. He says the smallpox has not injured their business as yet. The band purposes holding a con- ceit shortly, when the Blyth people will receive such a musical treat that is not often heard here, as no pains will be spared to make it a success. Tim Health Officers are strictly enforcing the vacoination law and the consequence is Drs. Sloan and Carder aro very busy. None are ex- cepted old and young sharing alike. Mr. Sellers, or more familiarly known as "Tbo Blyth Poet," had the misfortune to fall from the high plat- form at the station this week and fractured his leg. We hope that we may not be long deprived of his music- al rhymes. Canadian NCn,'vie. The milkmen of London have re. solved in future—and until further orders—to charge six cents a quart for mill(. The S. S. Erl King, from London, brought to Quebec a large quantity of shot, shell and other war material for the Dominion military authorities. A great freak of nature has been presented by Robt. Campbell, of Turnborry, ill the shape of a twin apple. It has two eyes, one on each side, and two separate stems run into one. It is the intention to preserve it. S- ome Idea of the quantity of apples shipped from Goderieh this season natty be gathered from the fact dur- ing the past week the United Empire took ou d,800 barrels, and the Ontar- io 1,000, leaving another 1,000 whiuli she was unable to parry. Edtuoutou, N.W.P., paper says Harvest is over, the grain astound and fall plowing in full blast. The wheat yield so far is from 25 to 86 bushels au acro ; oats, a remarkably heavy crop and an excellent sample, Potatoes are all dug and give an ex - °optionally heavy yield. What bar- ley was grown is good. James McDonald, whose home is in Stratford, Ont., (says a Detroit newspaper), was injured on Satur- day evening at Plymouth. He was attempting to get on a train when he was struck by the platform and ser- iously wounded about the hips, The sufferer was brougt to the pity and attended by County Physician Thue- ner, after which be was gent to Har- per Hospital. On Monday morning last word was brought to Stratford that Alexander Aikens, an old man 90 years of age living near Tappiug, in the township of Northeast Hope, had been found dead in a shanty belonging to one of his sons. Investigation proved that he had been shot through the abdo- men with buckshot ; his throat was also out,evidently with a razor which was found near by. The Case is be- ing investigated. Clinton has a curious -looking clock of the coutnry gone by. It was made a few years previous to the final taking of Canada from the French—the inscription on its face reading, "John .Belling, Bodmyn, 1775," the clock therefore being 180 years old ; Bodmyn—note spelled Bodmin—was the former capital seat of Oornwallahire, England. The cloak, in its entirety, is composed of braes and steel. The dial plate is fantastically engraved, and its inside works are particularly massive, evi• Gently being made to last for centur- ies. It is now the property of Thomas Treleaven, but formerly belonged to his great•grandfather, and was brought out to this country many years ago. According to the Montreal Herald, the regulations relating to compul- sory vaccination have proved a fail- ure ; that there are at least from 70,000 to 90,000 people iu the city who are still unvaccinated, and that practically the authority of the Board is at an end in Montreal East ; that in the district where smallpox is still most prevalent tho people continue obstinate, and that the Health Office in the east end, which was closed by a mob some time ago, still remains unopened. Dr. Hingston, who is an able man, and who knows the city well, declares that isolation now in Montreal is impossible, and that the only remedies loft are vaccination and hospital treatment. If the peo- ple were vaccinated, this might put an end to the progress of the disease, but with the weakness and the want of efficient organization on the part of the authorities, and the obstinate ignorance on the part of those who have the most need of protection it gives little promise of improvement before next summer. The' activity In connection with preparations for the great Colonial Exhibition, to be held in Loudon, Eng., next year, to which reference was made a week or so ago, still con- tinues. It will be a great affair, and no pains will be spared to give Can- ada the prominence she justly merits in the competition. The Antwerp Exhibition will now bo about over, and next month a start will be made in removing the Canadian exhibits to London in readiness for the Colonial. Among the Western Ontario exhibit- ors now at Antwerp are the following: —J. White, Woodstock ; Gray & Betts, Tilsonburg; W. E. Welding, Brantford ; A. G. Van Egmond, Sea- forth, Blyth and Exeter ; R. W. Or- chard, Brantford ; Galt Knitting Co., Galt; Penman Mfg. 0o., Paris ; F. G. Bullock, Otterville; Warnock & Co., Galt; Berlin Felt Boob Oo., Ber- lin ; Geo. Moore, Waterloo ; White- law, Baird & Oo., Paris ; and Hiram Walker & Sons, Walkerville. It is no longer a question as to how the 54,000 square feet are to be filled up, but it is now expected that extra space will have to bo caked for. The work of collecting fruit is being pushed in a vigorous manner by W. Saunders, of Loudon, Ont. A novel feature which will propably be adopted 15 to have a restaurant within the Canadian Court, at which meals, lunches and refresh- ments may he purchased, all the ma• terials being the products of Canada. An excellent colleetian of apples and pears, forwarded by A. MdD, Allan, of Goderieh, from the Ridge- town exhibition, contributed by the Howard Branch Agricultural Society consisting of 88 varieties. T110 Qnoon, replying to the mein - oriel of the Pellet) Sisiety lrityius for a eommtltatiou of the death esutenue passed ou Biel, says she is unable to interfere in the ease without first eon. salting her reepoustbl'3 advisers, The Colonial Secretary etatee that the Quell has fully delegated the pardon. lug power to the Guvttt r.Ganural of Canada who is fugnir'hig into the matter and that it is impossible for the Home Government to interfere in Kiel's behalf. Ou Wednesday the Customs auth- orities examined the stock of Wm, Kyle & Co. in the bonded warehouse on their premises, and found that a quarter °ask of bralitly, oontaiumg 20 or 27 gallons, bad beou emptied and filled tip with water, and a pips of rum had been dilluted with water to the extent of eight gallons. The Customs authorities seized ail the lig. uor in the cellar, consistiug of 46 quarter casks of brandy, a pipe of rum, a quarter east( of wino, eleven barrels of ginger ale, one cask of whiskey and two cases of labels and copsnles. It is supposed that the brandy and ram were tampered with oefere they reach- ed the bonded warehouse, but there were no signs of the place having boon broken open, or that anything hall been changed. Annie, the nine•year old daughter of F. Queen, hotel—lteeper of St. Thomas, met with a serious accid- en4on Saturday. She was climbing over the fence in the rear of the bos• tolry, whsu she slipped and fell to the ground, a needle which was in her dress being driven full length into her stomach. On Saturday afternoon the little girl's pain was so severe that the services of Dr. Van Buswiok were called in, but no attempts to re- move the obstrnnation were made, an examination showed the needle must have patted into the stomach. The point of ingress was revealed by a small ttperture ill the flub. Both Mr. and Mrs. Queen are at Rondeau ; and a dispatch was forwarded there summoning Mrs. Queen home. A Brantford paper says :—A tin pedlar ustonsibly blind, has been do- ing business through BrantfordTown- ship, and on Friday last entered the premises of John Loyd Jones, who resides on the old Andrew Cook farm near Mount Pleasant. He was ae• companied by a young lad who dis- played the tinware while he solicited custom. Failing in making a sale he abused Mr. Jones roundly, and was finally ordered off the premises. He refused to go and showed fight. This nettled the farmer and he grappled the pedlar, who opened his eyes, and drew a knife with which he slashed Mr. Jones' hands and then cleared out. A warrant was issued for the fellows' arrest, but Constable Eadie was too busy preparing for ins rket to serve it, and Mr. Jones and a couple of neighbors started hi pursuit. When they came up with the pedlar it I met them with a Cocked revolver, and considering discretion the better part of valor, they retired and allowed the impostor to go on his way rejoicing. He was last seen in the vicinity of Scotland village. Constable Eadie's action in refusing to make the arrest excites a good deal of comment. The three mild single scull rase on Lake Quinsagmond, Mass., last Wed- nesday afternoon, between Joseph Laing, of Montreal, and George Hos- mer, of Boston, was won by Laing in 21:15. Both men got off together when the word was given, but in the first dozen strokes Laing sent his boat to the fore, holding the advantage, however, but a moment, for Hosmer at once made up the lost ground. At the end of the first quarter of a mile Laing was leading by half a length, but again Hosmer drew upon oven terms with him. At the end of the first mile, open water showed between the hosts, Laing again leading, and again did Hosmer pull up, the two men reaching the stakeboat together. Laing had steered the better course, Hosmer losing some two lengths by having bo leave a straight course to rsaoh hie stakeboat, and when he be- gan the turn Laing had started for home, and easily held the lead to the finish, winning by two and one-half lengths. The time to the stakeboat was 9:22. Laing evidently had the rape in hand from the outeet, and set such a hot pace for Hosmer that the latter was easily beaten while the rape was little more than half over. Soo .° 8,000 persona witnessed the race. Hosmer was heavily backed by Boston men, their offer of odds being freely and quickly accepted by friends of the Canadian. The work of preparing the exhibit of Ontario fruits for the Indian and Colonial Exposition, to be hold in London, Eng„ next summer, is go- ing on under the personal supervision of Wm, Saunders, of London. He has been busily engaged during a great part of both day and night for a fortnight past receiving ooutribu• Cions, assorting the fipeoimona a000r:l ing to olessee,cite„ and p0ttul.; thein in glue jars containing a fluid that will preserve them without impairing the natural tinting.
