ditiOns were reasonable enough. Be-
fore the gentry left they induced the
farmer to ettach hie namato an agree-
inent that he would give the wheat a

-Course the affair may turn out ail right,
but it looka risky.
—The Brussels Post of last week says:
This week one of our old residents in
abe person of Robt. Armstrong, removed
o Teeswater with his family. He has
ased a plot of five or ten acres of
d adjoining that village, and will be
a tiller of the soil along with his other ac-
complishments. Mr. Armstrong haw been
a resident of Brussers for the past 14 or
15 years, and is widely known in this
-section. He hes- had charge of a great
•de.al of work in the way ea contracts for
louses, barns, &c., and for the past few
seasons he has worked at millwrighting.
Mr. Armstrong is a good mechanic, and
his lengthy experience _will stand him
good service in any. Work he undertakes.
—Jas. Stewart, of the 4th concession
of Turnberry, loaf a fine colt a few days
age by a very singular accident. He
had. just purchased the animal from a
neighbor and was bringing him home.
The colt did not lead well so he put him
along side the team he was driving,
tying the halter into the hames ring Of
one of the other horses. This arrange-
ment seemed to work satisfactorily, but
before going a hundred yards the colt
stumbled and falling broke its neck,
and was dead before Mr. Stewart could
reach it. The beast cost, with its halter,
which in this case was a rope, $75, and
all Mr. Stewart has to show for his out-
lay is- the rope, which he claims was a
trifle expensive. -
—Owing to their steadily increasing
business, Inglis & Co., of the Wirigham
woollen mill, havefound it necessary to
double their capacity, and with this
object in view W. W. Inglis left town
on Wednesday of last week for Jones-
ville, Michigan, where he has purchased
another complete outfit, at a cost of
some $5,000, An addition will be built
to the mill to accommodate the extra
machinery, and we believe it is the in-
tention of the firm at no distant day to
erecta fine brick mill. An addition has
been made to the firm by taking in S.
Armstrong, of Moorefield, a brother-in-
law of W. W. Inglis. Mr. ;Armstrong
is well and favorably known in this sec-
tion, he havingbeen for many years in
business in Belgrave.
—The Clinton New Eraeis responsible
for the following A rather good thing
occurred at a marriage in this county
recently, showing the perfect innocence
of the groom. After the minister had
made the couple man and wife, he used
the term customary on such occasions,
when he said " salute your bride." The
young man did not know what that
meant, and simply made a formal bow
to hia wife. Thinking the request was
, not heard the minister again said "salute
your bride." This time the new -made
benedict put out his hand as if to, shake
that of the bride. The minister, seeing
the dilemma the youth was in, broke the
spell by the magic words " kiss your
bride," when there was an explosive
,smack that was beard on the next con-
cession, showing that however ignorant
the young man might be as to the mean-
ing of certain terms, he was no novice in
the art of osculation. .
—Mrs. John Jackson, of the 13th con-
cession of Hullett, died on the 23rd ult.,
at the age of 66 years. Forty years ago
she left Scotland, and after a short stay
in New Brunswick,, she removed to the
county of Waterloo. Thirty-six years
ago she took up her residence on the lot
where she has resided to the time of her
death. She was a consistent• member of
the Presbyterian church._ When the
present congregation of Manchester was
formed she was one of the first members,
that congrwation being in a great meas-
ure indebted) to her and her partner in
life for the ereetionl of the present church.
Two years ago she reluctantly severed
her connection with Manchester church,
and joined Lonclesboro congregation.
Her remains were interred in the ceme-
tery on the 13th concession. She
leaves her husband and a family of
four sons and four daughters to mourn
heedecease.
Perth Items.
—Dame rumor says a Knights of
Labor Asembly isgoing to be organized
in Mitchell.
—It is said that a daily evening paper
is going to be started in Stratford
shortly.
—The fine new milI near the market
in Stratford is nowl almost complete and
in about a couple al f weeks will be in
full running ordeal
—Mr, A. J. Belch, the founder of the
St. Marys Argus, is representing the
Winnipeg Free Press in the Press Gal-
lery of 1iislirtment this session. -
—The agents of Fleischmann &
yeast have opened out a free baking
school in St. Marys where free instruc-
tions are being given in the most useful
ef all arts.
—The Herald, of Stratford, has passed,
into the hands of some gentlemen from
Guelph., who are practical men and will
no doubt make it a first-class paper.
—Twenty-nine pupils wrote at Mit-
chell at the Ontario Art School examina-
tions, which were • conducted by W.
Elliott, B. A., and the papers were sent
to Toronto on Wednesday.
—Judging from the number of young
ladies who are taking lessons in the art
ef baking, the Fenians, or the half-
breeds would have a mighty poor show
were they to tackle St. Marys.
—Weare glad to notice that Mr. R.
W. Keeler, of Mitchell, has so far re-;
covered from his ;late illness as to be
able to spend a Short time daily in his
store.
eaten a box of sardines for [nipper, and
shortly after all four were seized with
vomiting. Two of the children were
very low at one time, but finally all re-
covered. The box hada been thrown
into the fire after supper; so that no an-
alysis could be made.
—Mr. Thomas Little of Galt, brother
to Mr. D. Little and Mrs. A. Mulheron,
of Mitchell, is the patentee and manu-
facturer of, it is said, the handsomest
and most complete writing desk in
the world. The desk is panted in
Canada and the United States, and
patent applied for in Great Britain.
The price of the desk is $60, and we
understand the orders already secured
are far beyond the supply. •
—Detective Scam, of London, arrived
in Mitchell on Monday of last week, and
arrested a woman named Gray, charged
with kidnapping a small boy from the
Forest City. The boy, who is a, very
intelligent little fellow, says that she
did nothing of the kind as kidnap him—
it was his with to go with her, for he
had not been used well at home. De-
tective Scram took the whole lot, the
woman, her two children and the said
captive to London.'
—A pancake social under the anspices
of the young ladies of Knox church, St.
Marys, was held in that town in the
building at present occupied by the
Fleishmann & Co. free baking school, on
Tuesday evening. The attemla,nce was
very large, and what with the good pan-
cakes 'supplied gratuituously by the
Fleischmann Company and the good
music supplied by the band, a pleasant
evening was spent. The amount realiz-
ed was about $45.
—Mr. D. H. Watt, son of Mr. James
Watt, of Mitchell, left on Tuesday last
Week for Wyoming territory, accompan-
ied by his friend, Arthur Colquhoun, of
Fullerton. They go to an uncle of Watt's
who is said to be rapidly becom-
ing wealthy in that quarter. Last year
he harvested? 16,000 bushels of wheat
upon which he realized over $2 per 100
lbs. Hay commands $18 per ton in that
district. It would appear to be a per-
fect eldorado for farmers. We wish the
young lads success.
— The Mitchell town council held a
special meeting to fix the license
fees for the ensuing year, and he
result of their deliberations was that
the fees were put at $200. This
figure will be found a pretty high one
for some of the hotel -keepers to pay,
and will most likely decide them to ask
for beer, ale and wine licenses, which
would not cost half the amount, and
would enable them to make more money
with a much less expensive stock of
liquors to carry.
—On Sunday morning of last week it
was discovered that quite a hole was
burned in the ceiling of Trinity church,
Mitchell, close to the hole through
which one of the stove pipes pass.
When or how it occurred no one seemed
to understand, and how it went out is
still a greater mystery, as the lumber is
well seasoned and when once ignited
one would have supposed that it would
have burned rapidly. The members of
the church caine very near having to
erect a new buildhig much sooner than
many of them care to do.
—Foxes are said to be extremely
plentiful in the neighborhood of St,
Marys this winter. A gentleman living
in the west ward says that he has killed
eleven of them at short sdistances from
the town. ,1
—Mr. George Minchin, of Shake-
speare, has sent to the Colonial Exhibir
tion two.-sete of buggy wheels made up
with his patent spoke socket.- This is a
simple and inexpensive device, , by the
application of which the spokes can
never work loose in the felloes, nor the
felloes ever splits
—The monster demonstration from
North Perth 1.vho waited on the Govern-
ment a couple of weeks age, in regard
to the new county scheme, did not a
complish much. Mr. Hese was busy f r
several days before the arrival of the
deputation canvassing the. members in
favor of the county of Maitland.
—Mr. S. J. Dickson, of Stratford,
asid his three - sons - came near being
poisoned the other evening. They had
Hullett.
A GOOD Cour.—Mr. N. T. Adams,
of lot 12, concession 7, Hullett, has au
entire colt, sired by " Boreland Chief,"
which is 21 months' old and weighs
1,250 pounds. He is a bright bay with
white points, and is hard to beat.—Mr.
Adams has also the material on the
ground for the erection of a new bank
barn the coming summer.
HEAVY Loss.—Mr. Elisha McVittie
of the llth concession, recently lost a
very valuable breeding mare, for which
he had refused the sum of .$250. Her
disease was congestion of the brain.
This is a heavy loss, and Mr. McVittie
will find it difficult to get an animal to
fill her place, as she was one of the finest
.in the co unty.
COUNCIL DOINGS. —At the last meeting
of Hullett council the by-law for closing
and selling part of side -roads 15 and 16,
concession 14, was passed '• also a by-law
for reducing the number ofdays of statute
labor to; be performed 17,y assessed parties
below the scale of the assessment act,
were passed. —A claimof Mrs. McDon-
ald, owner of the " Forbes " farm, in the
township of Goderich,presented by Thos.
Jackson, of Clinton, her agent, for $32
for gravel taken from said farm, and for
damages to land in taking said gravel
for six successive years last past, was
ordered to be paid. The reeve was
authorized to take whatever steps may
be necessary -to recover the money paid
for gravel and damages, from the respec-
five tenants who occupied the said farm
'boring the said six years, they having
been paid therefor instead of the owner.
The Treasurer's accounts for 1885 as
audited, were passed, and fifty copies in
sheet form ordered to be printed. Mr.
Hardy's tender of $165, for building a
bridge on side -road 5 and 6, concession
-4, was accepted. The auditors are to be
paid $6 each for services. Mrs. Walker,
an indigent, was granted $5 to be spent
under a e ire n of. J. Lasham. The
reeve, eputy-reev'C and clerk were ap-
pointe a committee o revise the -town-
ship by-laws for. submi ion to -council at
next meeting, with a vie*, publication:
The council then adjou ed to meet
again at Londesboro, when c lied by the
reeve.
Drysdale.
BUSINESS.—Business is br , and
hard times are laid. aside for the p s
ent. We can now boast of three stores,
all doing a rattling trade. 'There is
Messrs. _Pickard, with a large stock Of
dry goods and ready made clothing;
next Mr. Brisson, with hotel and gro-
ceries, and then R. Drysdale, with gen-
eral store and post office. Mr. Joseph
Thicharme, the village blacksmith, keeps
the chime of the anvil ringing. We
have had very cold. weather lately,
and owing to the severe and sudden
changes our druggist tells us that Hag -
yard's _Pectoral Balsam is the best selling
drug in the market.
DOTS.—The fishing industry is improv-,
ing somewhat, although no miraculous
drafts have been taken; still the catch
has been tolerably fair, with not much
loss of nets so far.—A few days ago
Mr, Robt. Todd and his mother-in-law,
Mrs. A. Desja,rdins, left ,here for Kan-
sas where he goes to join his brother
William. By his removal Drysdale has
lost one of her beat citizens. We hope
Mr. Todd may meet with much success
in his new heme.--sIt is rumored that
we are soon to enjoy the privileges of a
daily mail between Drysdala and Kip -
pen. A lengthy petition has been for-
warded to the Post Office Department,'
praying the officials for such a boon, and
it is altogether likely the worthY gentle-
men will cOmply. This will he a _great
source of benefit to the people ;of Drys-
dale, especially on Christmal and St.
Valentine's day.
SCOTT Aor.—The Scott Act, is work-
ing like a ;charm, and it is s#ange to
see how Many people bell* in the
"charm." The only difficulty, standing
in the wat now is with the,pop and
t
ginger be r men. They are making
their beve ages entirely too strong, ao
much so, t ey tell me, they won'tlreeze
even in cold weather. The GoVernment
should lose no time in havin an in-
spector put on, who will have the soda
water brought down to its ustfil stand-
ard. "It seems so hard to keep on
one's feet) my sakes (hic), Jim, ain't
