From all parts of the surrounding country reports come that the crops never looked so well or gave promise of a more abundant harvest than at present. In some parts, especially on high land and light soil, the hay crop will bo rather light, but fall wheat and spring crops are all that could be desired. The flax crop at this season of the year in some places is something prodigious, many of the fields being already over three feet in height. The fruit crop of all kinds also promises well.

Mr. Gal- braith was a man of more than ordinary ability and of broad, liberal and progress- ive thought.

About fifty of the friends of the youngpeople were present to over- see and help if needed. Some of the "boys" also thought that help might be needed and after their work was done as- sembled at the corner and thinking that a sate would be a handy article walked a mile and relieved Mr. Ferrand'e saw mill of the circular saw which they parried to the place of rendezvous and being very attentive they imagined that a bell or two would improve things as an accompani- ment to their melodious voices.

The Goderich Signal says .—Robert Leoleie, one of the pie noors of Grey town. ship, and father of John Leckie, forma •1y warden of Huron, was in town during the week. Though over four score years have passed over his head he is still straight as a sapling and more active than many young men who might be his grandsons.

James Torrence, a former Grey buy but now of Manitoba, is visiting friends and acquaintance here. The whole family re- moved to the prairie Province about eight years ago, and have now largo farms there, and are greatly taken up with the place.

To the Editor or TIIe PoOr, Dean Stn,—If you will lrfndly insert the following in your valuable paper you will do muoh to dissipate an idea that is prevalent amongst a certain class of our farmers who supply milk to cheese fact- ories. It is, I am told, quite a common idea among a certain class of our farmers that it is impossible for those who handle the milk at the factory to know whether the milk supplied there has been skimmed, watered or tampered with in any way. I wish to say, for the benefit of any who are tempted iu any way to tamper with milk that is supplied to a cheese factory, that we are supplied with apparatus for testing the exaot amount of cream, or butter fat, that milk contains and also with apparatus for specifying the exact percentage of water added, when milk is adulterated therewith. An individual, resident on the 12th oon. of Grey, has lately found to his sorrow that milk with part of the cream wanting when it got to. the factory could not be palmed off ae. full cream, good milk. He thought to, evade trouble, when informed of the fact, by Bending his milk to another factory,, but has found that the manager of that factory, on learning the cause of his sup. plying the milk to him rather than pat. roniae the factory in which he is to share• holder, has refused to countenance fraud by providing this individual with a mark- et for hie milk and has refused to accept it unless the party referred to could sat- isfactorily explain why his milk was so poor while supplied 00 the Morris and Grey cheese factory. He could not OP rather would not explain when a com- mittee of the Directors waited on him so that they and the public are left to draw their own conclusion whish I should judge will be far from favorable to the individual in question.
