In 1862 she was married to Mr. Callander and they continued to make their hone here for several years, Mr. Callander met his death in a tragic way about thirty -live years ago, being injured while fighting the lire which destroy- ed the block of business places be- tween o-tween the Royal Bank corner and, the office or the Department of Agricul- ture on the Corner of llattenhury street. In 1883 Mrs. Callander retnovea with her family to Manitoba: She was one of the pioneers in the section in which shee took up land, the Hart- ney district, where she remained un- til about five years ago when she wend to Vancouver, 13.C., some mem- bers of her family having located TIHE LOCAL MARKET.

The fallowing le clipped Irma an ar- ticle in last week's Brussels Post de- scribing the 01d Boys' reunion held there early last week and refers to,a present citizen of Clinton : "Our old friend John Shaw, Clin- ton, who was principal of Brussels Public school for: twenty-five years, was not able to come.. He was asked for by hundreds of the old boys and girls. Mr. Shaw is now in his eighty-fourth year. but quite hearty for a man of las age." S'1ILL BUSY, Mr. W. 5, Harland, who in , May last passed his seventy-ninth mile- stone, has been employing himself painting his house this summer. One would suppose that a ratan of his years would be content to remain on the ground but Mr. Harland has been climbing around on ladders manipu- lating a paint brush with consider- able of his old tine vigor. He al- ways did likeeto have things neat and tidy and did not mind working to that end. A TRAGIC DEATH. The following despatch appeared in Monday's • Free Press : "Guelph, August 10—Fred, Tucker, aged 83, a patient at Speedwell Mili- tary Hospital, was found dead short- ly before six o'clock this afternoon at the foot of the old quarry former- ly used by the Ontario reformatory. Tucker had been missing since last Thursday morning, but it was thought that perhaps he just went away to visit some friends. It is presumed that he must have fallen from the top of the. cliff. down into the quarry, a distance of about forty feet, and net instant death." The foregoing refers to a lormet resident of Clinton, an employe of the . Jackson Mfg, Company. il'lr. Tucker was an Englishman but had been living in Canada -for some time and enlisted here for military ser- vice. Ile had been with the Jackson people before his enlistment and on being returned home on account' of physical unfitness again entered the employ of the Company. Ile left Clinton a month or so a.go.to take a holiday and to undergo treatment at Guelph and intended to return to the Exeter factory the beginning of September. His tragic death is much regretted here where he was well and favor- ably known. He was while hero sec- retary of the local branch of the G.W.V.A. Ile had no relatives in this country. - • AMONG.'rirl CI•HURCHEES.

The crops in Ontario this year are. not up to the average. Indeed, some might go so, far as to say they are a failure but that would certainly be putting it too strongly. Huron coun- ty has °recourse suffered with the rest of the Province but there are many things to he thankful for, Fall wheat in this county was an excel- lent crop and was harvested in first- class condition. The only regret is that a larger acreage was not under fall wheat. Spring wheat was not quite so good but a fair average. Ilay was short and in most cases light. Mr. 5. 13, Stothers, agricul- tural representative •for Huron, is authority for .the statement that in spite of the general shortage there are some very good oats in the county. He thinks there will be a two-thirds crop. He also states that corn is an excellent crop. This will help out materially as other fodder crops are light. On the whole- good old Huron will do its share toward feeding man and beast in this year of comparatively short crops, A DECISIVE BATTLE, On Monday evening two teams or old -tuners, known as tate cast and west, met on the baseball diamond, the former winning in the score of 11-9, Both. teams . demonstrated that they could sail] play ball as well as the youngsters. From start to dhtish it was a game of fun and laughter. Some of the ;features were. home runs by 9'. Churchill and 11, Brown, and the all round playing of P. Couch, who practically playeel the whole infield for the west team.- The west team have protested this game on account of the east team using R. Brown as pitcher in tate last inniug who, they claim, was ineligible, So, to keep the enthusiasm up and find out just which is the better team, they will play again. The largest crowd of the season watched this match and the band was in atten- dance. The following is the line-up of both teams : East -W. S. R, Moans, p., J. L, Kerr c., G. McTaggart lb., J.
