CUBE li`OR TYPHOID FEVER.. -Mr.
Jacob McGee, of Egmondville, gives us
the following as a cum for typhoid fever:
A tablespoonful of hop yeast in a turn-
blerful of:beer; to be taken four times a
day. The cum is certainly very simple,
andif it will not do good it cannot do
much harm.
_ GOOD HORSES. -Mr. P. J. Brown, of
Worcester, Massachusetts, has been.pur-
chasing driving and working horses in
this neighborhood for some weeks. • He
has adready shipped three car loads, and
is still buying more. He is paying good
prices, ancl has purchased many really
superior animals, especially in the road-
ster class. Censklering the quality of
the animals he has secured we have no
doubt but he will dispose of them readily
on the other side, at good -figures.

THE CIVIC HOLIDAY. -Wednesday last
being the Civic Holiday, business in town
was generally suspended, and things were
quiet indeed. A very large majority of
the people went to Kincardine with the
excursion party, and some went to To-
• mato, while others took a trip sto the
country, and onlya few stragglers were
left at home to take care of the town.
We have no doubt, however, but all in
•their several way% enjoyed themselves,
and returned to the labors of life on the
following day pretty tired and well play-
ed out.

death. Mr Duncan settled in Brant-
ford in the year 1,840, and continued to
live there antil he came to Seaforth.
There, as h re, he was highly esteemed
• and his sudden death will be deeply re-
gretted by a large circle of friends, and
his memory, will lbe long cherished by
many affectionate: relatives. He leaves
a widow ad large family to mourn his
departure. He was in his sixty-first
year.
CURIOSITIES. -We have
been showtj a sample of oats, grown on
the farm of, Mr. VTm. Murray, sixth con-
cession of Micketsmith, which for size
of head .surpasses !anything we have ever
seen. The, two heads which were shown
us, and which are said to be • a fair
sample of ,'the crop, measure 16 anfl 21
inches resOectively. These oats are of
the variety called Emporium." Three
years ago Nir. Murray sowed one pound
of these o s, and this year, at the third
sowing, he has ten acres, besides having
sold 10 bu hels of last year's •growth.
Mr. Mfurrar has also shown us two heads
of red chaff wheat grown on his farm,
which m4sure six inches in length
each. This wheat should give a good
yield.
-Mr. D vid Moore, of Tuckersniith,
has Ameri an corn growing on his farm,
'which meaures 10 feet in length. Mr.
Thomas C ventrY, of this town, has also
corn growl g - in his garden which meas-
ures 10 fee 8 inches in length. Where
is Mr. D. ennedy, of Tuckersmith ? He
used to be he " boss " &�rn man.

unwell. lay was called at 3:30 with the
Om:ismer-di 1 to the bat. On the part of
the Comm crcial, play was not so good as
at the for er game,on account of a num-
ber of the players being lame, and not
hiving ful 37 recovered from the effects of
the first m tch, while the Queens excel-
led their •f rmer play, especially in the
field, whet the Commercial were the
weakest. The game was pretty evenly
contested, •eing close up to about the
eighth inn ugs, at which time the Queens
obtained t e lead and kept it up to the
close of th game. In the seventh in-
nings -pla was suspended for a time
while the wo contesting nines were hold-
ing a mat" ee on one of Wall's "posers,"
and after a little oratory, play was re-
sumed. ter the Commercial had play-
ed nine in c ings and the Queen's eight,
the score t ood : Queen's, 27; Commer-
cial, 23. 1 r. W. Cardno, of the Stars,
officiated a umpire. We believe it is the
intention o the two nines to play the de-
ciding ga is e in the course of a few weeks,
the teams to be strictly representative,
and one an. two -meal boarders to be ex-
cluded fro participating in the match.

A STEAM THRESHING MACHINE. -On

for the purpose of seeing the steam
threshing machine at work. The ma-
chine is from the works of John Abel, of
Woodbridge, Ont., and is owned by Mr.
Geo. Brewer & Sons, of the township of
Morris, who certainly • deserve great
credit for their enterprise in introducing
the first machnie of the kind into the

Thursday last week, for Simcoe. His de-
parture from Brussels is a source of re-
gret to the' many Warm friends whom he
had gained during his residehce there.
-Rev. S. Jones, pastor of Knox Pres-
byterian church,Brussels,haS just gone on
a month's vacation. He will visit friends
in Toronto and Illinois. We regret that
tie reverend gentleman's health has
been rather poor of late, an trust that
mIhis trip and rest frothe p lpit will re-
store him to vigor.
-Arrangements are, being made for
the holding of a monster temperance
pic-nic at Goderich on the 2oth inst. It
is expected that there will be between
two and ' three thousand excursionists
from London, Ingersoll and I Woodstock,
and that they will be addre sed by some
prominent temperance 'speak

-A rel live Count went through on
the Narow Garage on Satprday, 28th
ult., in the person of Count Haustein, of
Germany, He was en route for Kincar-
dine, s. here he intended taking the steam-
er for a trip up the lakes. EIis servants
in livery attracted considera le attention
from Toronto to 0rangevi1le4 but not en-
joying the many eyes upon them,changed
their clothes at the latter place.
Brace, Esq., occupied the chai4 and
speeches were made by a number of the
leading citizens. After a lively discus-
sion, a committee was fermed to inter-
view the representative Men of Turn -
berry, Morris and East Wawanoah as to
the amount of bonus these townships
would be likely to give, from who6 we
may expect to hear shortly.
- On Saturday evening, 28th1 ult.,
Messrs. Ives, Snell, Friend, Dyer and
Drew, of Exeter, returned. home from a
pleasure trip. These gentlemen, tired of
the busy haunts of men, and cutting up
cloth, retreated to the 'wilds of Lake
Smith, about six miles south of rand
Bend, and in the inestimable blis that
is only found in the primeval f rests,
they bathed themselves-aometim s they
bathed in the lake. Fishing and boat-
ing were the pastimes in which t ey in-
dulged. They brought home several va-
rieties of the finny tribe, aggregating
over a hundred pounds in weight.
• -On Friday evening, 27th ult.) Rev.
W. Davis, with his bride, arriVed at
Centralia by the evening express' from
St. Thomas, and were kindly wekomed
at the Bible Christian parsonage by a
large party of ladies, members of the
church, who had spared no pains to pre-
pare everything for their comfortable re-
ception. After supper, Mr. Davis in
a neat and concise speech, thanked his
lady guests for the great! kindness they
had manifested toward himself and wife;
and hoped that his sojourn among, them
as a minister would -prove acceptable and
be crowned with the Divine bless g. .
-A novel and very interesting icmc
was held in Mr. R. Leech's grove, n the
banks of the Maitland, in Gerrie, -on
Tuesday evening last week. The gath-
ering was of an uncommon kind, b ing a
real enjoyable picnic, minus the scorch-
ing rays of the huge monster of daylight,
and instead beneath the calm gleam of
the brilliant light of night. As 'far as
we can learn the picnic was the effort of
Mr. Chas. and Miss L. Leech, and was in
honor of several strangers who were vis-
iting the village. The grounds i were
nicely decorated with Chinese lanterns,
and in the centre, built on a raisel. plat-
form was a' huge bon -fire, casting its
radiant rays over the happy and joyous
assemblage. A person standing a ' short
distance away, would be , led to believe
that some ancient fairy drama wasbeing
enacted before his enchanted gaze, and
indeed he would not be 'far wrong, for
though the fairies of ancient days were
not there, the modern on; were, and the
grounds presented a f -simile of the
dreamland of old. The amusements of
the evening were of a most innocent and
interesting nature, and. qom the merry
peals of laughter were greatly enjoyed.
Part of the time was alsa spent in sing-
ing and comic recitations well rendered.
Among the visitors were Mr. Hneston,
Exeter • Master and Miss Acheson
', God-
erich • Miss Shannon,formerly of Gorrie ;
Rev. Mr. Swan, late of Gorrie ; Messrs.
Whiteley and Spatting, of Seaforth;
Messrs. T. Evans, Robinson and Mas-
ter Dixon, Wroxeter, and others. The
whole affair was a success, and reflects
high credit on the parties who made the
necessary arrangements.
-On the evening of Thursday, July
26th, a number of the !friends of Mr.
John Parker, , Brussels, assembled at the
Brussels House, and gave a compliment-
ary supper to that gentleMan on the oc-
casion of his retirement from the' hotel
business. The get up of the entertain-
ment was good and reflected greaticredit
on the caterer, Mr. J. Manna. Mr.
John Alexander occupied the chair, and.
was ably assisted by Mr. E. E. Seager in
the vice -chair, After the usual loyal and
patriotic toasts had been disposed of,
"The Guest of the Evening," was given
by the chairman, and was received with
three times three. Mr. Alexander, in
introducing the toast, paid a glowing
tribute to Mr. Parker, and exhibited in
a masterly manner the good traits in that
gentleman s character, showing up his
many good qualities of head and heart, and
the loss which the hotel business of Brus-
sels suffered by his withdrawal from its
circle. At the conclusion of his Ipeech,
Mr. Alexander on behalf of thos pres-
ent, presented Mr. Parker with hand-
some set of gold shirt -studs, with he va-
nous Masonic emblems tastefully en-
graved thereon. Mr. Parker wae very
much taken by surprise at this exhibi-
tion of the good -will of the people of
Brussels. It had been his constant aim
eon to survey 80 more lots, and. place
them on the market next fall. Mt T.
Wilson's new saw mill will soon be ready
for work. Messrs. Bell & Patterson's
sash and door factory has commenced,
'work. This establishment is driven
hy steam, and is doing a good
business. We know of no place
that can boast of such rapid progress
as Hensall, for its buildings or its
population, the latter of wiliest
numbers is about three hundred.
There is some talk of a man of means,
coming to start a steam flour mill, and,
there could not be a better openi
Mews. Petty say that whoever
come they will give the site free, close to.
the railway track. I forgot to mention
the woolen factory, whichis doing vsell.
