-North Perth fall show will take
place at Stratford, September 15- and.

on September 15 and 16. Logan,at Born-
holm, on October 4.
-A few days ago Mr. Joseph Itwin,
late principal of the public school at
Woodham, started for British Columbia
in hope of benefiting his health by a
change of climate.
—All the students and school teach-
ers in the neighborhood of Anderson ;of
which there are not a few, are busily
engaged in the harvest field. Couldn't
do better boys.
—Mr. John Whyte, of Mitchell, has
fitted up a large refrigerator in his
packing house to enable him to kill and
cure pork all through the summer sea-
son. One day last week he killed thir-
ty-five porkers.
—The first load of new wheat brought
to the Stratford market was on Wed-
nesday of last week, by Mr, C. Seebach,
of Ellice. It was of the "Reliable" va.
riety and of excellent quality, the price
being n.20 per bushel.
—Rev. Father Ferguson has been
spending a portion of his summer vaca-
tion with Joseph Kidd, Esq., of Dublin,
who was an intireate acquaintance in
his youthful days. Father Ferguson is
said to be friendly and jovial.
—The other morning a brakbman
named James Redman, a • resident of
Stratford, slipped when coupling cars
at Forest, and had his foot so badly
crushed that it -bad to be amputated
soon after he reached Stratford in the
evening.
-Mr. W. Carpenter, of Dublin, had
two pigs poisoned by eating potato tops
on which Paris green had been dusted
one day last week. The tops were
thrown over the fence to them as the
potatoes were being dug for family use,
and the pigs died shortly 'after eating
there.
-Mr. Thos. Leadstone, an old resi-
dent of Mitchell, died last week. His
funeral on Saturday was attended by
the members of the Masonic and Odd -
fellow fraternities, to both of which he
belonged for several years. Deceased
was in the prime of life, and leaves a
wife and five small children.
—Asphalt sidewalks are being tried
in Stratford. That town has about
sixty miles ofeide-walk to keep up, and
as plank walks have been found difficult
to keep in repair making them very ex-
pensive in the end, an experiment is to
be made of Asphalt; which although
costing considerable at first is more en-
during than plank.
—Mr. J. J. Crabb, of the St. Mary's
Argus, is spending a two weeks' holi-
day jaunting through this section of
the country. He drives a double car-
riage and span, and is visiting the vari-
ous towns and villages from Mitchell
to Goderiela, and Kincardine to Owen
Sound, This is a most enjoyable and --
healthful way of spending a few weeks.
—One day lately Mr. Lauchlin Cam-
eron, son of Mr. Alex. Cameron, in the
vicinity of Anderson, was watering the •
horses at the well, when the boards of
the platform covering the well broke,
letting one of the animals fall head
first to the bottom, a distance of 25 feet.
The animal was extricated from its
perilous condition by the assistance of
fourteen men. It was considerably in-
jured by the fall.
—Quite a sensation was created in a
certain section of North Eastbrope the
other evening by.a young man arraying
himself in maiden attire, and visiting a
number_ of the neighbors's houses. He
was introduced to several of his com-
panions by the young ladies in whose
company he was, and had it not been
for the keen-sightedn.ess of an elderly
lady, who discovered that the unknown
visitor wore No. 14 boots (men's size)
the fraud might not have been detect-
ed.
-While the Stratford public school
excursion train was stopping at Bramp-
ton on th.e way to Toronto OD. Thursday,
a number of children got off as they,
had been doing at nearly every station
along the line,and neither ponductor nor
brakemen seeraecl to interfere with
them. As the train was. Statting from
the last place mentioned' a number of
tlaern were on the station !platform, and
of course a rush was made for the dif-
