Goo» 01/1ER.-THE EXPOSITOR, con-
` ing the new story Amen Her
path,' will be sent to new subscribers
from September to end of year for only
25 cents. This is an excellent offer.
THRESHING. -Quite a number in this
section , are threshing for barn room.
The grain threshecl being principally fall
wheat, though not turning out well it is
a very fair sample.
EARIX HARVEST. -A number finished
las,rvest last week, but the majority will
wind up this week. This is the earliest
harvest for years. This will give the
yeoman a. long fall for other work.
BRIEFS. -Mr. S. Anderson, who has
taught for the last three years in section
No. 2, has been engaged by the trustees
of No. 1 for the coming year; they de-
serve much praise in their selection of a
teacher. --James Harris, of the 16th
concession, recently purchased a fine
thoroughbred shorthorn bull calf from
Mr, David Milne, the extensive and
'well-known stock raiser of Ethel. -
Harvesting operations are drawing to a
close.
BIG WORK. -Mrs John McCallum, of
McKillop, cut on the farm of Mr. Jas.
Douglas, of the 16th concession, on
Saturday afternoon of last_ week, with
the exception of three rounds done in
the forenoon, twelve acres of heavy oats.
The cutting was done by a Noxon light
steel binder, to whieh Mr. Douglas, who
aPpreciates.the value of good fast horses,
had his team attached, aided by one of
Mr. McCallum's. Atesplendid job was
made of the field, which shows that John
not only knows how to handle a
machine, but also that he handles a good
one. We weuld like to hear of anyone
who can beat this.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. -A melan-
choly accident happened on the farm of
Wm. • Zeighler, lot 18, concession 14,
Grey, by which Christopher Switzer, a
young man, lost his life. It appears
that Mr. Zeighler was threshing on Fri-
day of last week. The deceased was
helping the thresher, Thos. Calder. The
unfortuna.te young man had been feed-
ing, and went to fix a belt on top of the
separator when his head struck -a Imam
of a scaffold, knocking him backinto
the cylinder which was in full speed.
One foot was caught which quickly
drew in the whole leg, lacerating it in a
fearful manner. A physician was Bent
for at once but was of no use, as he died
in about five hours after the awful acci-
dent in great pain. Mr. Switzer was a
steady -going young man, and bore his
agony with Christian patience. We
sympathize with his bereaved friends in
their sad affliction. This verifies the
truth, "In the midst of life we are in
death."
provided with all sorts of good things,
and it is needless to sag that ample jus-
tice was done by all to- this part of the
programme. Towards evening they all
returned toethe village, and although,
ne doubt, somewhat tired, all seemed
happy and pleased with their afternoon's
outing.
BRIEFS. -Mr. Gibson, who lately
moved here, left again on Monday and
has taken up his abode in Hensall.-
orlehas commenced in the flax mill
aid there is a full gang of hands on.
The flax this year is very long, but is
dUsty, and the seed a trifle light. -The
brick work of Mrs. Hess' new residence
i4 completed and the building presents a
very attractive appearance. It will be
cpmfortable for the owner and an orna-
ent to the village. Messrs. Weaver &
. did, the brick work, and Mr. F.
*mutts does the wood work. -The
brick work of Mr. Ed. Axt's new resi-
dence has been begun, and is making rapid
progress. This, also, will be a hand-
s me residence when cOmpleted.-Mr.
dward Hardy and wife -left last Tues-
day for Lakeview, Michigan, to visit
friends there. -Mr. J. --Kolosky, sr., is
still very low, and his recovery is doubt-
ful. -The employees of Mr. D. Stein-
bach's tailoring establishment formed a
pic-nic party to Bayfield on Wednesday
with Captain D. at the head, and they
would have had a realpleasantday, but
for the rain Which came on in the aqer-
noon.-Mr. D. S. Faust has the finest
range of new dress goods he ever had,
and his other stock is well sorted and in
first-class shape, -and all who give him
a icall will be well received. -Cider mak-
ing has begun Mr. H. Greb is the head
manager this year and expects a good
season. -The Zurieh show this year will
be held on Thursday and Friday, the
15th and 16th of September, and the bills
will be out in a few days. All interested
should get ready as this is one of the
first local shows of the season, and will
be the best.
East Wawanosh.
Loseternss.-The harvest is over with
the majority of the farmers. -Mr. David
McCoIlang, the noted fla.x-puller,' is
pulling half an acre daily. -Mr. James
Vint is on the sick list this week we
wish him a speedy recovery. -Mr A. M.
Burehill, of Clinton, paid a flying visit
to this section last week. He intends to
reopen school on Monday next. -Mr.
Walden and sons have the contract of
pulling 10 acres' of flax from Mr. Living-
stone. They pull one acre a day at $5

want to give the Blyth club another
famous beating. -Mr. James Parker is
able to be around again after his Serious
illness. -Mrs. Moon, of Clinton, was the
guest of Mrs. T. Ross last week.
Basses. -Schools have opened and the
bronzed countenances of both teachers
and pupils give evidence of their renew-
ed health, and strength from the vaca-
tion. -Farmers should be very careful
about setting out fires this dry weather.
On the 5th concession there are quite a
few set out, and cases of them spreading
can be seen. -Mrs. Armour, who lately
left the farm, and lived in Wingha.m,
died last week. The cause seems to
have been a serious attack of summer
complaint. -Mrs. Beat, mother-in-law of -
Henry Edwards, of the 6th concession,
also died at the same time. Cause, old
age. -Miss Corley, of Lindsay, is visit-
ing her brother Richard at present.-
bIrs. Walsh was improving by latest
aceounts.-Several fields of oats on the
6tb, concession stood about four feet high.
Quite a contrast to the stunted crops
down east this dry year. -Lately on the
6th concession, there has been organized
in secret a school of poetry, by some
anxious spirits, whose productions;
though somewhat flat and ridiculons, are
found strewn along the side -roads, and
are heard gabbled over by the youth at
large. Pity the poor gallant who gets
"left" or is "cut out" in these regions.
But one consolation, he has a string of
verses dedicated to him.
Kippen.
Local, BRIEFS. -The weather is still
hot and dry and roads are very dusty. -
Business is rather quiet, farmers being
busy threshing, but no extraordinary
gwhoppers" have been reported yet. -

Mr. D. Weismiller's building is. nearing
cempletion, and when finished s will be
one of the finest residences in the vil-
lage. -A large addition is being built to
Mr. H. Shafer's hotel which will mater-
ially improve appearances and afford
ample accommodation to the general
public. -Mr. M. Hatton, manager of
Mr. Weismiller's tailoring establish-
ment, is away on a visit to his parents
and friends in Hamilton and Burlington.

is again in our midst and appears great-
ly improved in health. -Mr. George

hard to beat in any show ring. -Mr.

holidays visiting friends in Michigan,

struction of the youth over in Tucker -
smith.
(From an Occasional Correspondent.)
A GOOD APPOINTMENT. -The people
of Kippen and vicinity will be glad to
learn that our respected citizen, D.
Weisrniller, Esq.,thas been; appointed by
the Legislature to the honitrable position
of Justice of the Peace in and for the
County of Huron. We regard Mr.
Weismiller as a suitable person for this
office as he is not only an enterprising
merchantbutlalso a sober, intelligent and
upright young man. He is therefore to
be congratulated on receiving sudh
worthy appointment which we are con-
fident will meet with approval by the
public in general.
A SOCIAL GATHERIat0.-Mr. James
Cooper of this place erected the largest
barn this summer in the neighborhood,
and as it has become a custom when
barns are finished to have a social dance
before any grain is placed in them, con-
sequently on Tuesday evening Mr.
Cooper invited his friends,to the number
a nearly 300, to come and warm the
barn. The invitations were freely
accepted and the large barn was soon
filled with:the "beauty and chivalry" of
the neighborhood, when Mr. Paul Doig,
assisted by the Messrs. Steacy,: of Lums
ley, mounted the platform with violin.
As the sweet strains of music arose the
Mazy whirl began and continued with
little interruption until daylight, when
all separated to their respective homes
feeling well satisfied with the night's en-
tertainment.. Mr. Carmichael was pres-
ent and sang- "Castles in the Air," and
another individual, whose name we did
not learn, sang a solo and dariced, but
his tune and his heels did ndt exactly
chime. '
Zurich.
HORKE KILLED. -Last week a horse
belonging to Mr. Jacob Koehler, who
resides about half a mile south of this
village, fell into a well about 29 feet
deep. The animal was pasturing in the
field and being pestered by the flies was
driven to the barn, close to which is the
well. The covering having become some-
what rotten it gave way under the
weight of the horse, which had got on
to it, and the animal went down back
foremost. The groaning of the animal
attracted the attention of one of the
girls in the house and on discovering the
cause she hurried to Mr. H. Lippert's
where Mr. Koehler was threshing and
acquainted him of the accident. Mr.
Koehler, with a number of men went
to the rescue of the hose and soon had
him removed from his unpleasant
quarters but it was discovered that his
back was broken and he died_ in about
two hours. It was a young horse and
was worth about $130.
OUR VIsITO Its. -Mr. II. S. Faust, of
Cairo, Michigan has been here visiting
his parents and friends. Mrs. Faust and
child have been here for about four

Coughlin, of Detroit, have been the
guests of Mr. Edward Fee, but they left
for home on Wednesday. -Miss Hindz-
man, from Newstead, is here visitirg

hcsic.-The children of the Luther-
an Sunday School had a. picnic in Vol -
land's grove on Tuesday last. At 1 o'clock
the children formed in procession at the
church and headed by the pastor,
Rev. Mr. Strumpfer, marched to the
grove, which is about half a mile west of
the village. They had swings and other
amusements, and all spent a most pleas-
ant afternoon. In the evening the table
were spread ancl were most bountifully
