TAXES. — Mr. Samuel Carnochan,
collector of taxes, for Tuckersmith, has
got his roll and has taken the road, and
he expects that every ratepayer willbe
glad to see him and be prepared to meet
his moderate demands. The taxes
this year are less than last year by
abeht one dollar on the thousaud dol-
lars of the assessed value. This will
be .a gratifying statement for the rate-
payers at any rate, tied speaks volumes
for the careful and econoiiical manage-
ment of powers that be.

School, while theirOwn are very se
dornin attendance. Is it any wonder,
the, that the children of such parents
beoeme a disgrace to themselies, a dis-
grace to their parents end a disgrace to
society? Not ab all. It iv, ould be
strange were it otherwise. If we be-
lieve the Bible, we muat not question
the truthfulness of this aeatement,
"Train up a child in the way ke should
go, and when he is old he wil not de-
part from it." If this tatement
means anything, it means this, that
parents are responsible for the training
of their children. The pasiage just
quoted not only demands that the
child be trained, but also, tells how he
is to be trained and what will be the
result of this training. Comparing the
conduct of the boys who were clrunk on
this occasion with that which mast re-
sult from proper training, we nust in-
fer that the training of those boys has
been, seriously neglected. S me are
very anxious to obtain a pri1ijbitory
liquor law, thinking, no doubt that all
used liquor will be abandone . What
good would such a law dolif it were not
enforced? Them is a law in Iforce in
Ontario by which any Iliquo dealer
who sells to a minor may be p nished,
but how often is it violated, tnd how
seldom is the offender punished! The
laws that are should be enforced, and if
they are not auffioient, new one should
be made by which order amid be pre-
served.—Com.

that there may be an awakening of the
dry bones, and that many may find the

GOOD THRESHING, — One day last
week Messrs. William. and John Grieve
threshed with their machine„' on the
farm of ehe former, 1,170 bushels of
oats in six hours and fifteen minutes:
This work was done in the ordinary
Way of running and with horse power.
The oats threshed were the product of
20 wee, being an average of 58i bushels
to the acre, which is a pretty good crop.
At the current price of oats this, land
would yield about 821.64 per acre.
This is a good deal better than either
Manitoba or Dakota oan do.
Comme Dom-se—At the last meet-
ing of the McKillop Council, which°
was held at Leyden's Hotel, all the
members were present except Mr. Kerr.
The following gravel accounts were
ordered to be paid, viz. : Francis
O'Hara, 36.60; Patrick Ryan, 37.50;
Robert Hannah, $13.56; Lewis Becker,
39.36; and Edward Ryan $3. The
bonds of Mr. J. C. Morrison, Collector,
were submitted and approved of by the
Council. After iesuieg a number of de-
bentures for township works the Coun-
cil adjourned to meet again, at Col-
cleugh's Hotel, Winthrop, on the last
Monday in October.
. TEST OF PLOWS.—On Monday last Mr.
John Malone, of the 4th Concession of
McKillop, had a trial of plows on his
farm. Himself and several of his neigh-
bors desired to purchaae plows for fall
use, and took this means of deciding
upon the hest. The plows tested were
the old original Oliver Chilled plew,
for which Mr. 0. C. Wilson, of Seaforth,
is agent, and the Seeginiller Rod Beam
Chilled plow, manufactured at Goder-
lob. After a thorough test of both
plows Mr. Malone decided in favor of
the Oliver Chilled as being the lighest
of draught, the meet easily held and
the best to clean, and gave an order for
three of them on the spot, one of which
is for his own use and the othersfor two
of his neighbors.

West Huron Fall Show.
On Wednesday and Thursday of last
week he fall exhibition, under the
auspices of the West Riding of Huron
Agricultural Society ad the Gode ich
Horticultural Society, Was held or. the
grounds of the latter. There w s a
good interior -display, and in 1 ait,
flowers, vegetables and grain it w aid
have been difficult to fin a
better exhibit at some of the more r
tentious exhibitions.
In vegetables and roots there wa
excellent display. In fruit, there
a splen did exhibit of apples, excel
plums were also shown. -Pea
were of fine appearance., lithe
quinces were among thohest we have
ever seen. In grapes the, display. yeas
large, and the fruit presented soltuic °us
an appearange that the tempati4i4 to
lay on hands was very strong.
While there have been larger Ais
plays in Lacliee' Work, there has ler
been better work exhibited. he
quality of the many articles sh wn
proved that fancy work is not a lost art
with our ladies.
There was a keen competition in
grain, some splendid samples of he
cereals being shown. The wheat ex-
hibited was of splendid quality„and he
whole exhibit reflected credit u on
West Huron as a grain growing distr ct.
The number of horses shown was v ry
large. The competitionwas very cl o se
in the team clam'', the judges be ng
almost bewildered by the entries.
There were some excellent thom
bred cattle shown. Mr. Snell bearing
palne in this class. He appears to h ve
learnt the art of feeding to perfecti n,
all his animals being as fat as could be
desired. He was closely pressed bye
Mr. James Dickson, who had h a
*dozen short; horns, three calvesespec 1-
ly coming in for admiration. H n.
R. Hawley also showed some e
thoroughbreds, his year-old b 11,
Beaconsfield II, receiving much at n-
tiou. The number of grades sho
was unusually large.
Sheep and swine were not so num r-
oue as usual, and many of the for er
seemed to be behind former years in
quality. • However, there were so
splendid animals shown, as doubt1
would be expected when Messrs. Di4k
son, Snell, Marquis and similar name
'were among the exhibitors.

So far, no other aid has reached. the
,sufferers than what has been afforded
by private subscription from the town
• of Pembroke and the neighbours in the
townships. The County Council, I am
told this evening,passed a reliolation to-
day, while in session here, granting
one thousand dollars for relief; but
that will not be much among so many
who are homeless and without food
and other necessaries. Of course a
considerable amount has been given by
private parties for the relief of imme-
diate necessities: but the winter is -new

rapidly approaching, and much is yet
needed to afford shelter for these eo-
pie and their stock, and if anything
could 'be done !Or them in your locality,
It would be , much needed, and I have
no doubt it mould stimulate 'other
municipalities which have escapedthe
fire fiend to do likewise. It ie true
that the needs in Michigan are ¶ great
and distressing, but it is also true that'
the whole Republic is showing its sym-
pathy in granting relief, an4 I have no
doubt the sufferers there will be better
provided for than those of our own
Province, whose distress is not so, well
circulated and consequently not so well
known. 'Relief cannot be more needed
anywhere than in the townships which
I have enumerated in this county and

MY DEAR MR. CAHERON,—Yonr kind
note came duly to hOnd. It was very
kind, indeed, of you I to think of this
district. Theetmount of loss and suf-
fering from the bush fires has been
'very great. A large; number of fam-
ilies have been entirely burned out and
lost everything, and inust in some way
be assisted through Ithe winter. I do
not know the exact number thus left
destitute in the whole territory, but in
the townships adjoining, or in the im-
mediate viciuity of Gravenhurst, viz.,
Draper, Ryse, Morrison, Wood and
Muskoka, there would be Some 30 or 40
families thus kft without house or
home. There has not been any public
or united effort made as yet to aid the
sufferers, hut something of this kind
must be done. Some special relief com-
mittee must be formed. Yet we coald
not do half or a third the amount that
will be required without outside aid.
We will, therefore, be delighted to re-
ceive a helping hared from you and
others. Very truly yours,
DAWS031.
