Sad Accident -The 'neighbors - here
in Stanley were saddened- to here of
the sudden death of the two Leech
brothers and Mr. lionnes of Seaforth
near Fort William on the; evening of
the 18th of Decembere through .the
collision of the trate they „ were on
with a yard engine. The first two
formerly lived on the fourth anima
Sion of Stanley where their father
owns the old hornesteed etill, though
he and his family live in Bayfteld.
The two young men bad bean living
in the west for many years and were
coming home foranbrietmas. The re
mains vvere buried in Bayfield cense
tery last Friday the nelth inst. The
remains of the late Mr. Fiallitent Were
buried in Seaforth on Thfintifinnt anHe
had gone out on the harvest excursion
and was returning borne. He leaves a
wife and two children. Sincere syna
pathy is felt for all the bereaved ones.
As this is cents of the parte* the
couutry where beams have been ex
tensively grown for sonie,years it may
be of interest to some iu other parts
of the country to know bow growers
got along the past season. July and
August were so wet thet. many des
paired of reaping any but many clid
fairly well after all. East Of the Lon
don Road two or three miles they
were almest failure. For two or
three miles on west of the London
Road they yielded about six or seven
bushels to the acre. At tbree dollars
per bushel this wasn't too bad. On
the Parr Line the yield event up to
sixteen bushels vvith better prices and
the returns made the 'farmers smile
but hack on the Goshen Line tbe yield
went as high as twenty two bushels
in Home cases and the growers were
escultant. One man near Brucefield
got; $3.50 per bushel. Some are look
ing for $400.
An American firm mile in and con
tracted with many farineie to grow
colored beans for them $1.90 a bushel
They in some eases as nanch as 50' per
cent for waste or as no good. Thev
won't do business here again in e
