HARVEST OPERA tONS. — Some few
farmers in this peighbdrhood have already
completed harvest, bat generally there
is mach spring grain still unhoused. The
crops are very heavy ind difficult to get
off. Oats, barley and peas are a bounti-
ful yield, and, are of excellent samples
everywhere. In some sections the spring
wheat is as good a could be desired,
while in others it is somewhat injured
by rust and midge. In the northern
towaships, as a general thing, there will
be a full average yiel4 of 'Spring Wheat,
as the rust has not doe any injury, but
11
in the southern tove ships a number of
fields have been badly smitten, and, as a
consequence, the gen ral yield will be
somewhat below the a -erage. But, tak-
ing all sections and all rops into account,
there has been a splenic, yield, the like
of which Huron has n t had ,for years.
All that is now waiat cl is fair weather
for a week or two.
CONTRACTS LET.—'he contract for
gravel for street impr vements has been
awarded to Mr. Cu rey ; the contract
for lumber for sidewal -s has been award-
ed to Mr. Downey, a d for laying the
new sidewalks Mr. Vt alker's tender was
the lowest. The Stre t Committee have
resolved this year to use pine lumber,
and cedar and tarnarac seantlings for the
sidewalks. This, we aye every confi-
dence, will prove mosi advantageous, as
walks made of hemlock, although the
first cost is less, have proven very ex-
pensive in the end, as hey do not last:
The sidewalks in this own now furnish
one of the heaviest iteH s of expenditure,
and with the material formerly used, it
has been found absolu ely impossible to
keep them in good r pair. With the
new lumber, it is expe ted they will last
much longer, and will not need so fre-
quent repairs. Elm ti 10 ber is being used
for crossings, and it is feund to answer
the purpose well, and. i likely to be very
durable.

A HARD 00UPLE.—A fey days ago an
aged woman professiqg te be deaf and
nearly blind was aro nd from.. house to
house in town seeking charity. She
made such e plaintive tale about a sick—
husband, arid so on, and Wes herself such
a pitiable ldoking objet that where ever
she applied I she excited the sympathies
of those to I whom sbeltold iher tate, and.
must have raised a considerable sum of
money. Or Tuesday evening the same
woman, in icompany ith la man, were
staggering around the streets intoxicated
and were prbvided wi lodgings for the
night in the lock -u .1 On Wednesday

The Reaping Match.
The annual reaping match under the
auspices of the Huron Farmers' and Me-
chanics' Association was held on the
farm of Mr, D. Stong, London Road,
Tuckersmith, on Thursday of last week.
The day was favorable and there was,
as usual, a large turn out of farmers and
others interested in machines, and com-
petition was very keen. There were 9
single and 8 combined machines compet-
ing. The grain cut was spring wheat,
but it was very heavy and was some-
what rusted, so that it was pr tty diffi-
cult to cut. The work done, lupon the
whole, was very good. Thele was a
self -binding machine in operation on the
ground which attracted• much interest.
This machine did good work but it will
only cut standing grain. Mr. McLeod,
of Rodgerville,and Mr. Tuttle,of Guelph,
gave an exhibition with -their pea harvest-
ers, which seemed. to attract nearly is
much attention as the competition of
reapers. Both machines did excellent
work, but Mr. McLeod, as u ual, came
out of the contest victorious, gaining the
first prize. The following table shows
the standing of the machines tested in
their several points of merit, as also the
successful competitors:

That "Life -Long Reformer."
¥R. EDITOR.—Sir: I noticed in your
issue of last week that Mr.Reynolds says
that it was a "life-long Reformer" who
proposed ,the condemnatory resonation
passed on the 12th at Gorrie. He was
such a Reformer that he voted for, Van
Norman at the last election, so le has
said himself, and I am safe in s ying
that the other Reformers who wer con-
verted by Mr. Reynolds' eloquence were
just such Reformers as this one. is for
the pickled rod," it could not be better
pickled than it was at the said election.
Reynolds seems to have forgotten that
the Orange Bill questioa was just as hot
then as it is now, hotter if anything As
you say Reformers have done for th Or-
angemen what the Government o -Sir
John A. Macdonald, and him an Or nge-
man, never did, nor John S. Macdo aid,
either—though incorporation was t lked
of in the Grand Lodge during his re me,
but was frowned down because it ould
embarrass him --by giving a way w ere -
by each Lodge can be incorporated and
that without being offensive to our Cath-
olic fellow citizens, a method, if it were
not for political purposes would have
been acceptable to a large 'proportion of
the Orangemen. It has been stated, and -
will not I think be contradicted, 'that
one Lodge in Howick wouli have taken
advantage of the General Aat, but be-
fore doing so they communicated with
the higher authorities, and they said they
must not do so, as it would weaken their
bands in standing out for the Special
Act, showing conclusively that this ;agi-
tation is only used as a political cry, to
damage, and that very unfairly, Reform-
ers. A PROTESTANT.
