C. Cam- eron, of 'Anderson, while making a pin for a sawing machine guide, had the misfortune to sever three fingers from his left hand. The handle of the axe est -tight in a block behind hina, thus caus- ing the axe to fall across his hand. joseph R. Dunlop, a former Stratfordite, now and for some years past a resident of Chicago,Illinois, paid a visit to his friends in Stratford a few days ago. Mr. W. F. McCulloch, also formerly a resident of Stratford, has established himself in the hardware business in Juniata, Nebraska, and we learn that he is, doing a prosperous trade. —The trades and occupations of the snembers of the town co-uncil of Mit- chell are summarized thusly: The Mayor is a newspaper publisher; the Reeve a ltmebermerchant ; theDeputy Reeve an apothecary; Councilors -4 merchants, 2 grain merchants, 1 stocking manufae- turer, 1 farmer and 1 conveyancer. Ten are bertedicts and. the remaining two are bachelors. —One of the ?scholars in a Danbury school being a,bsent, the teacher sent to lita parents for an explanation, and re- ceived the following straightforward statement " Atometa,torin." A careful and patient analyzation revealed the fact that the delinquent was "at home tatering," the last term being, as every agrioulturisk knows, a pleasing substi- tute for "planting potatoes." —A city gentleman who has recently bought a place in one of our districts, rather amazed the neighbors by appear- ing in his meadow with a scythe in one bend and an imibrella in the other. When our informant came away there were five doctors sitting on the fence, sharpening knives, and even the -potato bugs had dropped their implements of labor and were watching that man's mancenvres. —A party of yo -ung sports driving through West Street, Sunday, attracted the attention and' excited the pity of an elderly gentlenaan on the walk. itaiaing his head, reprovingly, he kind- ly remarked: " Young men, are you breaking the Sabbath?" "No, sir," po- litely observed a serious chap on the hack seat, "we are going to make a whole day of it." And before our aged friend could recoTer himself, the grace- less scamps were out of sight. —Mrs. M. P. Handy, in the Phila- delphia Weekly- Time' s gives some in- teresting items of the financial history of the Confederates dining the last months_ of the war. She says : "1. the spring of 1855 a barrel of Baia -sold in Richmond at $1,200, while a pound of bacon was worth $15, and sugar $57 pound.; turkeys were $25 a pound; butter, $50 ; eggs, $30 a dozen, and ap- plea $5 a piece, while all the n.ecessawys of life were dear in proportion." —A gentleman in the snburbs lately slaw a boy ?stealthily leaving his prem- ises with an amply filled pillow -case dragging behind_ The gentleman knew the bay had something in that bast, and stole up l in his rear, and popped right down on it seat first. It was not until a half-& pint of excellent horoe-m.ade ointment had been rubbed in that he be- came sufficiently composed to explain to hia wife that the vicious young thief had left the burrs on those cheetnuta. —A_ North street man went off one Saturday noon for a half a day of fish- ing. When he returned he had walked thirteen miles, lost a forty-five dollar watch, sprained. his thunala, spoiled an e.leven dollar pair of pants by sitting down on his luncheon, and caught a for -pound mud turtle. He got back in time to help the doctor out from his eld- est bore foot one of the several fish- hooks he had left at home. He took a cursory view of the situation, and went to bed. —A writer says that what the true man most wants of a wife is her com- panionship, sympathy, courage and He is right. The true man wants his wife's companionship when he has to get up in the night to see what that noise is in the cellar. Her courage is eminently valuable in the general neighborhood debates over the possession of some domestic artisle, and her love is absolutely indispensable -when he gets in late. But her sym- pathy Well, any one who has ever picked up the wrong stoVe lid with his bare hail, can estimate the value of that.. —A look at the world when the sun is rising is a refreshing sight. Early rising is a refreshing sight. Early ris- ing on.a summer morning is something to be proud of. It is healthy for both the physical and mental forces. It is hard to break up slothful habit, and to spring from the couch at the first whis- pering of .dawn ; but when one has got up early ;taken a sniff of fresh air, and bathed his face in theglow of the new- born sun, be will never lie abed after the sun is up; and when daylight comes streaming Into Ins room the next morn- ing, he will turn over so he can look at hTs clothe, smile a very sheepish,9mile, and go to Isleep again. —At the recent fire. in Fullartou vil- lage, Dr. Alex. Burns came very near meeting with a fatal accident, He Jaa,s been boarding at the burnt hotel ever since he came to reside in Fullerton. On the morning of the fire, Mr. Hart ran up stairs and woke the doctor, and told him to hurry. , Thinking there was plent,y of time and taking things coolly, the doctor quietly dressed. himself, even to the putting on of his necktie, then, taking his overcoat on his arm, opened his bedroom door and atterapted to go down stairs, but owing to the rapid spread of the fire he was -unable to do _ so. He then got out through the room window on to the verandah but not be- ing able to keep his feet he slipped off, p,nd fell on his back to the hard. groand, a distance of some 8 or 10 feet, and came very near being burnt to death, but was carried to a place of safety. He is now lying in a very criticiLl condition. Di. Burns is an old man, some 76 years of age, a good. citizen, and has the sym- pathy of the entire cornmunity, not only on account of the injury he has , receiv- ed but also because he has lost every- , thing he had. i —Since the establishment of a grain market at the railway station, Milver- ton'business has been more lively round the village. The delivery of grain has been steady, averaging about 1,000 bush- els per day at that point, while Mr. V. Kertcher is also a large purchaser, as his mill, which is now keptrunning day and night requires a large supply of wheat. He ships 200 barrels of flour weekly,besides doing a large local busi- ness. The price paid for grain is Strat- ford figures, deducting freight. —Mr. George; Hamilton, who has for naany years carried on thernianufacture of cheese near Croarty, , his disposed of his factory to a joint stook company, which come into existence under the name of the Cronaarty Cheese and But- ter Manufacturing Company. A board of directors has been appointed, with Mr. David Mitchell as President, to carry on the business in future, Mr. Hamilton contemplates removing to Stratford, by which that community will lose a valuable man, and Stratford gain a useful citizen. —Two or three of the fast youths of Listowel have been makingla practice of visiting several of the sthall villages around, taking with them a avheel of fortune a pack of cards, dice,&c., for the purpose of gambling. One of their latest expeditions was to Tyrone, on Tuesday of last week on the occasion of Mr. Windholt's ball. They expected to make a haul out of the country boys, but were disappointed, having had to return home with leas cash than they brought, and a bloody nose into the bargain. —George Clouthier, son of Mr. Her- cules Clouthiet, Stratford, a bright boy of some seven or eight years old came to -hie death on Monday afternoon of last week in a peculiarly distressing manner. Along with a playmate about the same age he went • into the tannery on Erie street, a short distance from his home, and while there he rea,naged to fall into one of the leach tubs, which was filled with boiling tan liquor. As soon as he he fell in his scream's- brought some of the workmen to his rescue, and he was soon extricated with considerable diffi- culty. He was taken home, and medic- al assistance was sent for, but nothing could be done for the little fellow, who died in a few minutes in intense agony. • 131aying Horse With a Bear. Once there was a man whose life had been spent in " goingWest." His father and mother moved from New England to Michigan when he was a baby, and settled six miles from any neighbor. But before the farm was all cleared, other settlers came, and the family moved on. "Don't want to be crowd- ed," the old. man said. " I heard -a, rifle and an axe that wasn't mine yesterday." - And he went farther and. farther West every year, till by the time the boy I'm telling you of was ia grown-up man, they had got clear to the west part of Oregon, on the Pacific Coast. And as the old man couldn't 'novo West any farther, without getting into the ocean, and neighbors had moved within l two miles of him, he gave it up, went to bed sick, and died. " 'Tain't no use" he said, "they're bound to crowd an old. man outer the world. I can't a -bear to tech elbows with folks, no -how.?' And so he died,with his nearest neighbor two miles of his son's built their a hill ; but it was so low and damp that James— for that was Ins name—started to build. a bigger one higher up, half a mile off, near a mountain brook, with grand old trees around the spot, and a fine view of the country. He took off the two front wheels of the old emigrant -waggon that they had crossed. the great plains in, and, made him a good strong twa-wheeled cart, with a box on it. And in this he drew back and forth his carpenter tools, and his ,dinner, and chips for the fire, over a rough road that he had cut through the woods. He used. to take a little nap after his noon -day -meal; and and one day when he was sleeping on a splendid bed of evergreen boughs that he had fixed near the timbers he was at work on, he.was wakened by a loud rattling of the tin dishes in his cart. He looked. around quickly, and what do you suppose, he saw? A big black bear, pawing over the luncheon he had left, and. smacking his chops over a piece of wild. honey and Borne corn cakes that James hadn't eaten up. away. But I was going to tell you scrape with a bear. They first log house it the foot of tin -dishes in the bottom of the cart rat- tled like a peddler's waggon on the pavement: the axe and gun bounded on to the bear's toes, and he looked as if he didn't know which was the Worse—his mad or his scare. Down the steep hill James ran, straight for the cornor of his log -house. He had hs plans all made, and as he turned the corner he ran the cart -against a log, and tipped it right over, bottom side up, with Mister Bear onthe under side.. His other rifle hung over the door, in the house, and he grabbed that down in a hurry, and as the bear stuck his head out from under the cart he tilhot lam right between the eYes,say- ing: "Thee, that settles the question." "What question?" asked his wife,who came running out to see what the noise meant. " Why the question whether I had caught a bear or he had caught me." Mercy sakes !" be said, as she saw the dead bear. Then he told her the story, and she kissed him, and laughed. and cried at the same time. And he had. an overcoat made of the shin, to re- member the time when he "gave a bear a free rido." This is a pretty fix.," said James jto himself, quick as a flash. " My rifle and axe are both in the cart, and that ugly beast would claw me to pieces be- fore I could get 'em out." He was afraid the bear would_ chase him if he ran, and. corner him if he stayed, and so he set hie wits at work to find a way out of the serape. Good bright wits are too ranch for a bear, or a hard. lesson, or a tough job of any sort, if they are only kept at work, with no "1 can't," cpr "1 don't want to," �r " Oh dear!" to binder' them. It didn't take James's wits so long as I have been telling it to you to make a plan for him. He jumped to his feet quick as aflaela grabbed the tongue of the cart before the bear could say "Jack obinson"—if he had known how—and started on a keen run down , the hill, drawing the cart and the bear in it after him. Well,I s'pose there never was a bear so astonished since the pair saved from the flood stepped out of Noah's ark and found the whole world drowned. He liad never had a ride before, and didn't want one now. But the cart was going so fast that he dareu 't jump out; and so he just clung on, and looked from one side to the other, and. fairly howled as the cart jumped over the roots and stones. James had :been to the city once and seen the street cars, and when he found. he had the bear caught,thefun of the thing made him laugh. When the bear roared once he hal- loed. back: "All full inside !—take the next car 1" And when the bear gave a terrifid growl, he saidN Move up in front, please,—and don't grumble. This is a through car. Git Up there !" and. he buckled down to'it, and ran just the way the car -drivers make the horses do, when they are 'late, and pretend they don't see a littlaboy crooking his fingers for 'em to titop on the croesing. The Getting Clothes. When a woman buys an article of wearing -apparel, it is all right- She is not couns lled to take it back because of this cr that defect. She ignores man's kn wledge in the Matter, and he is only to 'glad -to escape to make any protest. FBut when he upholsters him- self in an particular, she gives the ar- ticle the thost critical examination, and in nine cases out of ten hurries him right batik with it. Between_ that man's regard or his wife, and. fear of the -merchant, he loses a great deal that is pleasant in this world.. It is.. also a little singelar what a wonderful effect the store 'where you have made the pur- chase has upon the ft of the article - 1 have kn wn a man to go back three times wit a coat. The first time it pinched. 1. e a little under the arias. The dea er had. him try it on; then pulled. it s own in the back, stood off and sq sted at it, and then said, "How does that feel now?" The m n, perspiring at_ every pore, and feel g that he was guilty, in some way, of aking uafair advantage of a trusty fe ow mortal, confessed that it was muc better, and. went off. The neL t day he appeared, with the impression that there was no wool in the cloth ;- his wife said so. The sales, man gav: 'him such a pitying glance, and Whi aped the coat over from one side to ti e other so rapidly and talked so fast a lout texture and. wool that the miserabl wretch was glad to get the garment back, and get out of the store. Two d ys later he sneaked in again with th: coat under his arm. This time it 'inched across the back, the tailor h d him tty it on again, and then rub led it across the back, and pull- ed it at t e front, and saidhe never saw anything fit like that in his life; and the man went off with .ft itimilas belief. He didn' go back any more ; but he used to :tand in front of that store, when no one was looking, and shake his fist tihro gh the window at that tailor, and thi • up things he wanted to do to him, but which there appeared no im- mediate orospect of doing. Opinm Eating in the United States. Opi I. eating is the live issue in the Shertano oah valley of Virginia. A lo- cal pape has been investigating, and reports 'hat the habit is frightfully ptevalen , insomuch that the drug stores of Staunton, a place of 10,000 in- habitant:, retail about 100 pounds a week, ra: .y of theirbest customers be- ing youn- ladies of "the first families," while storekeepers in the country find their trao e in the drug so increased. of late, tha they are now purchasing of wholesal houses at the North. The excitem nt aroused lay the exposure, has bee • fanned by the rather tragic death of a Harrisonburg woman, who had. sent ,two horses to be sold, in order to raise so on.ey to buy morphine, and was so o ercome when she saw the man returnin without having made the trade, t at she fell to the floor and. died in a few hours. A public meetinabwas held at Staunton, shortly after, to or- ganize ublic sentiment against the vice, an a petition to the Legislature is being I umerously signed, asking for a heavy t: • on "opium. The introduction of the b 11 -punch which has raised the, price of "drinks," is held to be partly responsible for the spread of the evil.

Bedford, Tham. :mile, writes, "Send me at once a further supply of Belot:trio Oil, I have only one bottle left. I never saw any- thing sell so well and give such general satisfac- tion.
