The first chryeanthemum exhibit ever held in Canada will take place at Galt about November 11. '11ie prize list for the Provincial ex- hibition to be held at Guelph, Sept. 20.26, is out. James Fullerton, late of the Strath- roy Poultry Bulletin, has, iu conjunc- tion with two other parties, parches - ed theCalgary Herald.. E. Luddicott, of Elimville, drove from London to Oshawa in two days last week, Ninety miles was made the s_contl day without injuring his horse. Charley Soper, of Guelph, who is in 11lbntana, recently killed a grizzly bear weighing 1,500 pounds, the claws on its feet were 61- inches long. He got $60 for the skin. A feature of the St. Catharines trades procession will be a largo van fitted up with two compartments. In one there will be a representation of a drunkard's family in poverty, squal- or, and rags, and in the other the temperance family; well fed, comfort- able, and prosperous. I3attlefordhas had an exhibition of Dewuucy's beef in the raw. Last week a herd of cattle, alleged to be ranch cows, intended for the Indian Department, were delivered at that place, but the agent refused to receive them, and the men in charge turned them loose to take take their chance upon the prairie. It is estimated that five miles of shedding will have to be built on the O. P. R in the Selkirks, that the cost will be about $1,200,000, and that the sheds will be completed by the first of December. A great number of )nen aro now employed in taking out square timber, driving piles, and running the lumber mills. Annie Morrison, the biggest woman that Hamilton, Ont., ever produced, is dead. For over six years she has been travelling with a cirous. A couple of years ago she visited her home with the Doris show. She died at Lowell, Mass., on Thursday of last week. filer professional name was RoeaLeelie. She weighed 616 pounds. Her coffin had to bo specially con- structed for her, cud was 80 inches wide, 24 inches deep and 6 feet 10 inches long. The first through train from Mon- treal to Vancouver was announced for Monday, June 28. It was timed to reach Winnipeg at G a. no., on Dominion day, where a stay of forty minutes will be made. Vancouver is to be reached on July 4th about noon. The first train east will not leave Vancouver until Tuesday, July Gth, the Company not having enough oars or locomotives on the western eectiou to begin eimnitaneouely a daily ser- vice east and woet. On Monday morning (says an In- gersoll paper), when Jas. Chapman, River Road, was coming to town he was surprised at seeing the road pro- miscuously strewed with small toads leaping about. The tracks through the gravel made by the wagons wore full of them, and as the milk wagons passed along they were victims by the millions. It is surmised they fell in the shower au Sunday evening. On closely examining them they were all found to be exactly the same size and continually leaping about. Wm. Gettio, who a fortnight ago moved from beyond No. 1 school to. a house on Quueu street, had at the time of moving a hen sitting on 18 eggs. The hen bad been sitting a week and a half, all the chicken folk said that if eke was moved, the eggs would be 'useless. Mr. Gettie, how- ever, did the moving in a basket, and the result was that in due tims 18 ebickene all alive and lively were added to his valuable stock. This incident eo far as we know is out of the common run and ie looked upon as being really and truly a remark- able occurrence.—Gall Reformer. Arclno Saunders the well-known driver of the Eriu stage, has a fish story thatdiseounts auything yet re- corded. He was ono of a party of six who were boating above the dam in Erin on Thursday evening. There were two boats, and the occupants of one began splashing the water at the other. This fooling lasted for some time, and when it was ,topped one of the party noticed something dis- turbing the water in a shallow and muddy spot near the land. One of them jumped out of the boat to more closely examine the creature and got up to his waist in mud. Then a boat was shoved as tear as possible and Archie Saunders struck the fish—for such it was-- twice over the head with i.0 oar. They then landed the monster, which proved to be a speck. led trout, weighing 61b,144 oz. Who can beat this ? Dire. Elizabeth McNabb, of Roeo- mont, is iu her ninety-third year, and eau see to read the finest print with. out glasses. She sottted intim toren- ship of Mono in 1832, and raised a family of nine children, six boys and three girls. She has now sixty-three grandchildren, and ono hundred groat grandohildren. A strange woman carrying a child in her arms walked into au Orange- ville hotel last week, went upataire into ono of the bedrooms, naked per- miesion to leave her child on ono of the beds, went out ostensibly on some mutter of businoee, but has not yet returned. The infant is being pro- vided for by the town. The large bills announcing the groat Orange demonstration to be held at Belleville on July 12th have the following foot note :—"At this important crisis all Froteetanta who desire to mantain the integrity of the Empire, and to protest against the encroaohmonte of the Church' of Remo, aro cordially invited to unite in this great demonstration." S3lyfh. Some of our citizens took in the Caledonian games at Wingham last week. Mies Annie Mullin, of Belfast, is the guest of Mrs. McKinnon this week. Court of Reviaiou was held in town this week, His Honor Judge Doyle presided. Mies Shaw, of Brussels, who has boon visiting friends iu town, return- ed home last week, Geo. Martin, hardware clerk in 0. Hamilton's, was visiting his friends at Port Dover last week. Rev. J. F. Parka and wife, who have been speuding a felt holidays with their friends in Alvineton, have returned. The Olintou Orangemen have se- cured the services of the Blyth brass band to aceompauy them to Exeter on the glorious 12th. Au entertainment, consisting of music, readings, recitations, etc., was given in the Public School on Wed- nesday evening last, under the aus- picee of the Blyth Public School Lit- erary Society wee well patronized. Our junior base ball team went to Clinton last week and played their return match with the junior club of that place. The ,home team proved to be superior to our boys winning the game by 7 runs. Our boys did well though, owing to the junior team being ohiefiy composed of the senior club. The union pic-nic was held in the grove south of the village on Friday last. The children of the different Sunday Schools assembled at the Presbyterian church when a proces- sion was formed, headed by the band, when they marched through the streets to the grounds. Although the weather was very unfavorable there was a !ergs gathering and all spent a very enjoyable time. The Ketcham 0onoert, on Monday last, closing up the musical conven- tion was one of the best ever given in Blyth. Although the attendance was not what it might have been those present spout an enjoyable evening. The convention has been a marked success and Prof. Weeks deserves great credit for the able manner in which he conducted the class. Ttie anthems and ohornvee, given by the class, were excellent, and the singing by the Professor, Misses Duncan and Langstaff wore worthy of our beet thanks. At the close of the concert a musical society was formed, when officers were appointed for the pur- pose of continuing the class. I. C.
