MORE GOOD STOCK, -Mr. John MC -
Milian, M. P. for South Huron, brought
with him from the old country a num-
ber of very fine Clydesdale horses. He
has one three year old, and one two
year ol(1 filly, and one two year old and
two yearling stallions. They are all
remarkably fine animals, and he was
sufficiently fortunate to get them safely
home without mishap or accident. Mr.
has long been noted as a
breeder of good horses, and. his recent
importation& cannot fail to add to his
already well won honors in this respect.

the horse exhibiting symptoms ,of in-
tense fright, suddenly leaped arctuod 4t

violence that the tire and spokes were

ing the fore axle to the ground, when

dialocating her hip joint; and so intense
was the pain caused by the injury, that
it was with the greatest difficulty that
she could be taken home, the slightest
jetting of the vehicle occasioning the
most severe pain. On arriving home
medical aid was at once obtained, and -
Mrs. Armstrong is now progressing
alowly towards recovery.
GOING AHEAD.—The Messrs. Scott
Brothers, dealers in musical instru-

RUNAWAY.— On Thuesday afternoon
of last week, as Mr. James McGregor,
acconapanied by Mr. Charles Woods',
was &lying in a covered buggy froro
Seaforth to Mitohell, they met with a
rather unpleasant occurrence. On pro-
ceeding down the somewhat steep in-
cline on the west side of the Mitchell
bridge, Mr. McGregor, who was driving,
tiotised that the horse - was being at-
tracted by a quantity. of dark -colored
wool, which was spread over a platform
THE BENEFIT OF COAL Ont—Last
spring we published in THE EXPOSITO a
3L
statement to the effect that bugs co d
be excluded from peas by soa,kingt e
seed in coal oil before sowing. r.
Robert Charters, of the Mill Road, de-
termined to try the experiment despite
the remonstrances of some of his neigh-
bors, who assured him that his seed
would:never grow. He tried it, how-
ever, and the result is that he has a
splendid crop, and so far as he can tell
his peas are entirely free from bugs.
After sowing his field he had a smolt
portion of the pool oiled seed left, whyda
he gave to his neighbor, Mr. Gordop
McAdam. M. McAdam, in order to
thoroughly test the experiment, sowed
a patch. of unsoaked seed, and on the
following day Iflowed along side and op
precisely the 'same ground, the see'
which he got from Mr. Charters. Be
now finds, upon harvesting his cro
that the peas grown from the unpt
pared seed are filled with bugs, while
those grown from the seed which had
been soaked in coal oil are entirely free
from the pest. This is a very fair test,
and shows pretty conclusively the valid-
ity of the experiment. The pea crop is
a most inaportont one to our farmer,
and for years has been regularly d
stroyed by the bug, and if the loss oan
be avoided by such simple mean e a
great benefit Iwill have been mem,
plished.
LOCAL Bars.—We are sorry to, lea
