the suit was entered to recover the
value of 180 bushels of wheat. Several
witnesses testified in court that they
believed the signature to have been
written by Dickson, and that he had
frequently been known to have tran-
sacted business and forgotten the cir-
onmstances a few days after. The
plaintiff was non -suited with costs.
—They do some things up in baronial
style 'among the holiest Dutchmen in
Wilmot. There was a big wedding
there some two weeks ago, and about
two hundred of the friends of the par-
ties concerned honored the occasion by
their presence during two whole days.
They were a healthy lot, too, as may be
inferred trona the following partial list
of the eatables consumed, which has
been furnished by a reliable party who
knows all about it: 120 pies, 2 turkeys
(for the bride), 2 geese, 1 big wedding
cake, innumerable lesser cakes, 42
hens, 1 fatted calf and Hat steer. The
inventory of drinkables has not been
furnished to us, but doubtless it was
suitable to the occasion. There is a
smack of the good old times about a
wedding like that.
—The report comes from Ails& Craig,
that John.Walker, a Brecon Mill drover,
has disappeared. There is the wildest
consternation among a host of North
Middlesex creditors. His liabilities are •
reported at $40,000. Immense pur-
chases of cattle on short credit have
been made all over the country. I Mr.
Wiser, of Prescott, who shipped 1,000
head—three trains—of cattle from Ailsa
Craig last week, is said to have handed
Walker a $15,000 cheque in payment of
400 head sold to Wiser by Walker. It
is also alleged that Walker got the
cheque cashed at Prescott and then
crossed to Ogdensburg. Donald Mc-
Lean, Lobo, a leading farmer and drover
is reported missing with $3,000. He is.
an endorser for Walker to large
amounts, so it is alleged.
—A young lad about seven years old,
the son of Mr.H.J.Hill, grain merchant,
Ailsa Craig, had a narrow escape while
playinglin:thelstorehouse where his father
was taking in grain. The boy jumped
into a, bin Of about 1,500 bushels of
wheat, whichthey were drawing out at
the time. His screams drew the at-
tention of his father, when he ran to
the bin just in time to see the boy's
head going -under. He jumped into the
bin and thrust his hand down and
caught the boy's head, and with the
assistance of a man who happened to
be closet by extricated him A few
seconds longer and life would have been
extinct. It is strange how many of
these ligroin bin" accidents are con-
stantly happening. The owners of
grain storehouses should surely try to
keep boys out of them.
—Mr. J. Neill, Sr., of the firm of J. I
Neill & Sons, iron founders, Toronto,
was run over and killed by a freight
train on the Northern railway track
last Tuesday night., Mr. Neill it ap-
pears, left his foundry on the Esplanade
about six o'clock to transact some busi-
ness in the western section of the city.
Driving along Brock street in his buggy
he entered the yard. of the Northern
Railway Company, and, no doubt
mistaking it, as others have done be-
fore, for a regular thoroughfare, drOVe
on till he encountered the net -work of
tracks in that neighbourhood. In at-
tempting to cross one of the tracks, for
the supposed purpose of turning back, a
freight train backed down the line, and
before the buggy or its occupant. could
get dear, the vehicle was struck. Mr.
Neill wee thrown out, and fell under
the wheels of the car, and the whole
train consisting of sixteen cars passed _
over his body. The buggy was smashed
into a thousand pieces, but strange to
say the horse escaped injury.

The cost of running the Mitchell
water works- amounts to $714 per year.
—They are arguing the steamer or
waterworks question in St. Marys coun-
cil.
—The Elma plowing match will take
place on Tuesday, the 28th inst., on the
farm of Thomas Dickson, Twelfth con-
cession.
—The Elma Butter and Cheese As-
sociation shipped last week 474 cheeses,
being about 29,000 pounds. The price
obtained was 7ic. per pound.
—Mr. Joseph Kidd, of Dublin, is
building a handsome and commodious
hall for the holdieg of public meetings,
concerts and other entertainments.
—A. number of mechanics and others,
In Listowel, have formed the idea of
establishing a co-operative store, from
which it is expected they can purchase
their regular supplies at better rates
than from the regular dealers. _
—Mr. Crozier, Head yaster of the
Listowel High School, has been re-
engaged at the same salary as last year,
$1,000 tand Mr. A. M. Springer, as
-second master, at a salery of $600, being
an advance of $100 over that of last
year.
—The Listowel Banner says the Old
Country Farmers' delegates, who were
shown around Listowel in tow of Mr.
D. D. Hay, expressed themselves highly
pleased with that section of the country,
but thinkAhejand is held at too high a
figure, judging by its general product-
iveness and the rent which it is able to
realize.
—Building operations have been carri-
ed_ on. more extensively in St. Marys this
season than for many years, and it
would not be exaggerating to say that
more money has been spent in this way
in 1879 than in the last four years.
The effect of this upon the town has •
been marked and an impetus has been
given business which was sadly needed.
—The Mitchell papers are crowing
over the performance of their octogen-
arian deputy postmaster, Mr. E. J.
Wood. Last week he took a jaunt to
Goderich township, riding in a buggy
fifty milestin one day, and then walking
five miles -to finish up the day's work.
This was the first time in twenty years
that Mr. Wood had been absent a day
from his duties.
—The Molesworth Nirnrods held their
annual hunting match last week, and,
as usual, it was a big affair. The sides
were chosen about a week or ten days
previous to the day appointed for the
" grand" hunt, and. during the interval
the slaughter of chipmonks, squirreile
&c., was immense. At the conclusion of
the match each hunter counted his
trophies by the theusands, and the
losing side had to pay the costs.
—The last emigration party of the
season left Molesworth for Manitoba last
week, On Monday, James Stewart
started off with the stock and. farm
implements of Mr. John Broadfoot, ac-
tornpanied by W. Johnston, from _near
G-orrie, who also had charge of a con-
siderable quantity of stock and imple-
ments. On Thursday morning Rev. Mr.
Ross and family, Mrs. Broadfoot and
family, Mr. David Mitchell, late of
Tuckersmith, and Mrs. Paden and
and family, took their departure from
the Great Western statiou. They go to
the Bird Tail Creek settlement in the
North West territory where they had
previously purchased land.
