Of -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.
