"POST" BooxsTOIIE• (N,, r iss.cts Dist FRIDAY, SEPT. 10, 1886. Mx. COULTER was elected to fill the vacant seat for Haldimand Co., for the Commons, last Wednesday by a majority of nearly 200. It was a very hot contest. As considerable discussion has been occasioned over the course pursued by the Board of Health in connection with the cases of sear- letina in Brussels, and at the re- quest of a number of our readers, we publish the clauses of the law referring to this subject, Sections 46, 47, 48, 49, and 50, chap. 88, of the R evised Statutes of Ontario which read as follows :- 46. Whenever any householder knows that any person within his family or household has the small- pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, cholera, or typhoid fever, he shall within twenty-four hours give notice thereof to the Local Board of Health, or to the Medical Health Officer of the dis- trict in which he resides, and such notice shell be given either at the office of the Medical Health Officer, or by a communisation addressed to him and duly mailed within the time above specified, and in case there is no Medical Health Officer then to the Secretary of the Local Board of Health either at his office or by communion. tion as aforesaid. 47. No householder in whose dwell- ing there occurs any of the above mentioned diseases, shall permit any person suffering from any such dis- ease, or any clothing or other proper- ty to be removed from his house, without tho consent of the Board or of the Medical Health Officer or at- tending physician and the eaid Board, or Medical Officer, or attending phy- sician shall preecribe the conditioue of such removal. 48. No person sick with any of the diseases above specified shall bo re- moved at any time except by permit]. Bien and under direction of the Board of Health, or Medical Health Officer, or attending physician, nor shall any occupant of any house in which there existe any of the above diseaees, ex - typhoid fever, change his or her red. deuce to any other place without the consent of the Board or of the Medi. cal Health Officer, or attending phy- sician, who shall in either case pre- scribe conditions, as aforesaid. 49. Whenever any physician knows that eny person whom he is called upon to visit is infested with small. pox, scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid fever, or cholera, such physician shall within twenty four hours give notice thereof to the Local Board of Health, or Medical Health Officer of the municipality in which such diseased person is, and in such manner as is directed, by rules 2 and 8 of section 17 of Schedule A. 50. When the small -pox, scarlet fever, diphtheria, cholera, or any oth- er contagious disease, dangerous to the public health, is found to exist in any municipality, the health officers, or Local Board of Health shall nee all possible caro to prevent the spreading of the infection or contagion, and shall give public notice of infected places by such means as, in their judgment, is most effective for the common safety. PALL RACES. The fall races were held on Lans• downs park, according to announce• ment, on Tuesday of this week. The day was fine and a largo company aseombled to witness the three races on the program, viz„ a raoe open to horses owned within 10 miles of BILIS; sole, an open trot and n 8 minute trot. le the first mentioned race there were 5 horses started, art fol. lows:- T. Nixon's "Lucy;' Bluevalq 1 1 A. IImnig's "Sleepy Moan, liree- eois 2 Metanaod. J. Strettonts "Troublesome Jim;' Srhssols, ' 'i S, King's "Little Judi,' Wroxeter 4 M. Perdue's "IIA I Boy" Wawa - nosh, C "Lucy" had it all her own way and trotted the two heats, nosily, in 8:07 and 2:59i. She distanced the field in the 2nd heat. In the open race there wero two entries ase. whitlayy's ' lorenee 0,, X 1 2 whhd'n Soaforth, Wm, Bewley's "Grey Dan;"Dray- 2 2 1 1 ton, Whitley's mate was withdrawn of. ter the 3rd heat as she lamed herself. The let and 2nd heats wero trotted in 2:87, "Grey Dan" took the 8rd in 2:51 and went over the course alone for the 4th heat in 2:47. "Florence 0" is too fleet for the gray but the old horse did well after be got warm. ed up. The 8 minute trot brought three 'torsos to the scratch. They were J. Vauwyck's "Lady Van," Han over, 1 1 T. Nixon's '•Luny; 'Blaevale, a Distanced. J. Taylor's "Maggie," Clinton, 3 "Lady Van" proved rather speedy for her competitors and shut them out in the second trial. She made the mile in 8 minutes, and 2:47 re- spectively. The owners of horses in the first rano had the laugh on 'Lucy' this time in the distancing business. Tho Judges were Wm. Forbes, Listowel, A. Rob, Wingham, and T. Lapslie, Seafortb. Thos. Town of- ficiated as starter and F. O'Brien, V. S., held the distance flag,. The course was a little too dusty for the comfort of spectators. A. nut -shell "fleecer" was prompt- ly stopped by Constable Laird after he bad got the start of two or three "greenies" from Grey and Morris. The Brussels baud was in attend- ance and played a number of selec- tions during the afternoon. Over $100 was taken at the gate and it ie proposed to put the surplus into a fund for future races. ;•Lorries. A. new library has been placed in the Union Sunday School held in Anderson's school Douse. Thos. Skolton and wife, of Drayton and Mrs. Winger were visiting their old friends in this township. A great breadth of fall wheat will be sowed in Morris this fall, a large part of it being in before this. James Russell intends starting for Bay City, Mich., on tlonday, Jim is a general favorite among the boys. John Robb has been making wen• derful improvements recently, having put a new board fence along the front of his farm. The Messrs. Thuell are doing a big work in the threshing line. They are all "push" and deserve the pat • ronage of the farmer. There were nu lese than 4 thresh- ing machines on one line at work one day this weak. Oompetition 1s sure- ly keen enough in this line. Tho Purvis farm, containing 100 acres, north -hall lot 16, con. 7, was Bold on Saturday of last week. John Douglas was the purchaser and the amount paid was x;4,600. W. H.

Tan Poser will find its way into a good many homes in this township this fall so the people say, espeaialiy since there has been such a liberal offer made for the balance of the year. Joseph Smith, has rented John Johnston's farm, for a term of years. Mr, Johnstone purposes going to Victoria, British Oolumbia. We join in wishing Mr. Johnston and family sucoestt, and a safe journey. Not long ago Geo. Brower had a hired man assisting him in pulling peas. The man, without any pro- vocation, struck at his employer but he woke up the wrong passenger and Mr. Brewer taught him a lesson he won '1 forget. ' A few evenings ago as W. H. Cloaky was driving along the road with his horse and buggy, a dog, be- longing to John Sperling, ran out on tho road and tore the curtain off the top. We understand Mr. Sperling will be called upon to pay the dam- ages. The dog was shot next morn- ing, 12 hours too late. This should be a warning to those who keep vic- ious animals. On Thursday evening of last week a very enjoyable time was put in at the garden party held on the grounds of Isaac Rogerson, Sunshine, The Brupeele band was in attendance and contributed in no small degree to the enjoyment of the evening. A reel- tation was given by Rev. W. E. Kerr and a number of songs sung by per- sons present, An election contest for the honor of cutting a cake made things lively for a while. Mite Mary Rogerson and Miss Fannie Newcombe were nominated and after a close run the latter was declared the winner. The praooed of the evening amount- ed to about $67, the cake securing $18 of that amount. The company voted that Mr. lbogerson's ;',was u good place to go to for a jolly time.

The citizens of Brantford have taken hold of the preparation for un- veiling the Brant monument, and the occasion will be suitably :commemor- ated. The days fixed upon for the unveiling ceremonies are Oot. 18, 14 and 15. Lieut. -Governor Robinson will be present, and a program of great interest is being prepared. The site chosen is the centre of Victoria Park. A. young man at Nicola, B.C., late- ly drove twenty miles one Saturday evening with the intention of driving n lady to church next morning. A jealous rival, however, was resolved that the young man should not euo- oeod in his enterprise, and during the. ningbt the horse was stolen from the stable, hitched to the buggy and driv en hack over the'twenty miles to the stable of the owner. In the morn. ing the young man of the first part rose early to groom hie horse, and discovered the theft that had been perpetrated. But he was not to be defeated. He borrowed a buggy from one friend, a horse from another, and carried the young lady of to church in triumph. The hop crop is turning out poor- ly in the vicinity of Belleville.

The Educational Weekly Saye the Stratbroy Oollegiate Institute is to be lnacle a training institute for High School teachers. This will increase its Legislative grant about $500 per annum. There le a squabble in legal circles in Belleville. The story is told that while a prominent eouneel was ab- sent from the court room an attorney donned his gown and entered upon the defence of a couple of criminals in the dock, When the owner of the gown returned he peremptorily order- ed the removal of the garment, but the judge alluwed the attorney to ap• pear before him without a gown. Several' members of the profession now threaten to bring a charge against the attorney. They claim that an attorney has no right 10 con- duct a cage at any criminal court ex- cept a police court. Several Germans from Hay town- ship took the train at Clinton to at- tend the Saengerfest at Berlin. Near azsbringvlllo the hat of ono of the par- ty blew off, and unconsciously he stopped off the train to recover it. The train was running at thirty miles an hour at the time, and it was taken for granted that 11e would bo instant- ly killed. As soon as possible a stop was made and the train was backed toward the locality of the accident with the object of taking on the mangled remains. Soon, however, the corpse was found running along the track to catch up to the train. He bad received a bad cut ou the side of the false and a dislocated shoulder, but otherwise was uninjur- ed. The Bolleville•Ontario offers the following account of hew "Coffin" Macdonald obtained his peculiar and ghastly title :—"In 1878 a farmer named McIntyre, from Murray, was shot fatally by Lulu. Ellis, an inmate of a notorious brawl known as "The Farm," in the northern outskirts of the city. The body was taken to tho Hosting House, where a coroner's in- quest was held. Macdonald appear- ed on the scene and made himself more officious than the coroner. When Mclntyre's father onme to the city, Macdonald went with him to buy the coffin, The old man only had $16 ; the coffin coot $24. Mac- donald persuaded McIntyre to give him •the $16, and he would advance the balance. When Macdonald was arrested it was found that he had spent freely of the money at the bar, but McIntyre got $10 of it back, and with his dead son left for home. He did not prosecute Macdonald, and so he was discharged. Hence it was that reporters gave him the name of "Coffin" Macdonald, who, as Ohief Justine Cameron said, should lead an honest life if only for the name he bore," Amabel township, 1n North Bruce, is excited over the death of a young man named Revool, in view of the discoveries to which it seems to have led. About a year ago a roan named .Ryer, who lived on the Sauble, be- tween Hepworth and the Bauble mills, was taken ill and died with every sympton of poisoning. A few days ago two of his grandsons were taken down with the disorder, and one of them, the young man Rovool named above, has since died. 1)r. Fisher, who has been attending the oases, thought the water was the cause, but after some months' examination of the matter, has comp to the oonolus• ion that the cause of the (linage is, that in dry weather when the grass is poor the cattle go to the side of the creek and eat a plant commonly known as breakweed, which, it 1s said, to have highly poisonous qual- ities, which effect not only the cows, but also, more or lees, those who drink the milk, It is assorted that cattle have been dying recently in the same section of the township. A, post mortem examination and an in- quest substantiated tho above facts, and it is yet intended to send. samples of the wend and milk to Toronto for analysis. These facts recall to the recollection of the Wiarton Echo that n few years ago some young men in that vicinity were charged and generally held guilty of poisoning a farmer's cattle. No proof could be adducted, however, end in vises of these recent revelations it is thought they have been entirely innocent. THE PEOPLE'S 101,IJMN. S1aitVAN9' GIRL WANIILD•— Apply to MM. A. HUNTER.
