Mast Thursday's Stratford Beacon st—In Messrs Rice & Colvin's hatcher p is a, snake cucumber, grown by Mr. hnMartin. This vegetable when par- ly exposed strongly resembles a strip - snake.

OBITUARY.—Mrs, Tyerman, mother of Mrs. C. W. McTaggart, died on Sun- day after a. long illness. The funeral took place on Tuesday, and the number in attendance showed that she left many sympathetic friends to mourn her loss. ACCIDENT.—A runaway accident oc- curred between here and- Leadbury on Monday evening, which resulted in the injury of two ladies and a child. Mrs. William &ayes and child and Mrs. Edward Driscol were returning from Walton when the two-year-old colt which they were driving became fright- ened, unmanfikeable, and ran down the road at a terrific pace, upsetting the car- riage and throwing Mrs. Driscol vio- lently against a wire fence inflicting ser- ious wounds on the neck, cheek and arm. By only a miracle she was saved from what seemed to be a certain death.. Mrs. Brayes and child received slight injury. • [ We have received a communication signed " Level Head," in reply to a por- • tion of the correspondence which appear- ed. last week. Our good friend, however, takes entirely too serious a view of the matter. It was only meant as a joke • and was not intended to be offensive to any one ; in fact it did not have the re- motest reference to any individual in I particular, and we regret that any have been so foolishly sensitive as to take the little pleasantry as applying to theinr selves. We looked upon it as a joke and supposed others would do the same. We -may also remark that "Level Head" has fallen into the same error he censures others for having committed,as his letter is so offensively personal that we would not like, even injustice to the writer, to publish it. In addition to this one; we have received some five or six other conarnuniCati0118, all to the same purport it to ti 0 Gorrie. Fri:X.—Wednesday night about 11 lock the Albion hotel stable was scovered to be on fire. As the fire a made considerable progress before was noticed, it was impossible to save e stable, and as the stable was close the hotel it was with difficulty that e letter was saved. How the fire igineted is not know. FOR ThdPERANCE PEOPLE.—Drunken- ness is on the increase in our village. On Monday and Tuesday of this week, men could be seen staggering from one side 0 .the sidewalk to the other, apparently thinking that they were in duty bound t travel all over the breadth as well as the length of it. What does this in - ease of drunkenness indicate? Does 1 show that our village is improving morally ? Is drunkenness a benefit to our village morally, intellectually, or financially? If so, why do the best men and women not encourage it? If, on the other hand, drunkenness is a 'curse any community, why do those who pretend to be interested in the welfare of society,not do their utmost to prevent it ? Temperance people of Huron, awake In all probability a severe bat- tle will be fought in our county this fall. The Antis will do their best to repeal the Scott Act. LOGAL]TIES.—Mr. James Leech left of the condition of affairs, and on Sun- day morning the Acadia ittrived on the scene and straightened out matters, tak- ing the Vigilant away and replacing her by the,cruiser Critic. The unfortunate young officer is very peniten-ccrying like a child over his mishap. _ —Senator Lacoste last Friday morn- ing raised a novel question in matters of- expropriation'at Montreal. The Atlantic & Northwestern Company offered. Mrs. Margaret Phela.n $7,000 for land on Mount St. Mary Avenut. She refused, alleging that $35,000 would not com- pensate her for the damage. The mattet was taken into Court, when Senator Lacoste questioned the constitutionality of the Federal Act authorizing the taking possession of property prior to expropriation. This was in express con- tradiction of the civil code. Intelligence regarding the missing schooner Sea Bird has been received at Victoria. It appears from the confes- sion Of an Indian that Captain Moore and his crew were massacred by the In- dians•of Seymour Narrows. The ship was close to the shore, when the Indians put out in their canoes and bound the crew hand and foot. They drank all the whisky on board, and in their drunk- en frenzy first tortured and thee massacred their vidtinet. The. suffering of the captain, who resisted the Indians is described as terrible. After carrying off everything of value they fired the schooner to hide evidence. —Reports from Murray Bay, state thatHon. Edward Blake has been great- ly improved in health by his sojourn there histsummer. He takes consider- able eicereise in the shape of long daily walks._ On Tuesday last, accompanied. by Mrs. Blake, Miss Mable Blake and several other ladies,he walked five miles, to Les Eboulements, where the party • lunehed at the residence of Senator Pel- letier.

As we cannot publish them all, we have decided not to pub- lish any.—ED. Exr.] Dashwood. ILL.—Mr. Wesley Kelly, who has been residing at Sault Ste Marie, in the State of Michigan, has just returned home to his parents. He has been very sick with consumption andbleeding of the lungs, and is at •the -present time very low, so that there is but little hope of his recovery. His parents have the sympathy ot the whole neighborhood as he is a very exemplary young man. I_ RETURNED. ---Your correspondent has just returned from, an extended trip through Manitoba, Dakota and Illinois, and thinks that there is no place like home. The crops throughout Manitoba and Dakota seem to be very good this year, -but through the entire State of Illinois, on account of the continued &Meth, there is almost an entire failure. IMPROVEMENTS. —Oar thriving village continues still to grow. Messrs. II. J. Kellerman's new brick store will soon be completed and when done will be a credit to the village.—Mr. Hall has also built an addition to his store.—The following citizens have built new residences during this season:—Messrs.

Th thieves first broke into the blacksmit shop of Henry Treloar, J. P.,, and sup plied themselves with tools. It is sup posed they went from there to W. Bar ward & Co.'s store, and broke open th back eldndow, drilled a hole in ti -e sae blew it to pieces and helped themselve to what money 'there was. There is no much doubt but the operators were pro fessionals by the way they went abou their work. To deaden the sound barrel of rice and several rolls of dry goods had been_piled around the safe which, when the explosion took plac were scattered in every direction. Th front door of McClellan's store was force o en. Their safe was not locked, ✓ ry likely it would have shared t same fate as the one above mentione The only things missed from the latt place were some canned salmon a tole -ace°. • Moved by David Mitchell and second- ed by Duncan McLaren : ",That we have heard with profound sorrow of the death of our long -tried friend and co- worker in the cause of Liberalism, John Delaney, sr., at the ripe age of seventy- eight years. Bringingwith him td this country the sterling principles which were rooted in hint in his native land, for more than the forty years of hig resi-. Bence in ,our midst he has been their un- wavering advocate and supporter, act- ing from a sense of deep conviction from which no appeals to self-interest could ever turn him, and showing the best ex -- -ample and renderina the most valued assistance in all our E'struggles. Seeking no office or position he was entirely dis- interested, and was influebeedin all his actions by a strong sense of right. On this foundation he built f high character for integrit of' limself a conduct and purpose which made h m Universal- ly resected. A good neighbor and warm friend, his loss is felt as tt personal ' loss by us all • but it must he most deep- ly lamented by his widow 9(1 numerous family who have been in the habit of looking to him for guidance, counsel, and support. His industry and correct habits have borne fruit to their benefit, and indeed to the advantage of the township generally, in the reeal lmation from the wilderness of the fine estate which is identified with his name. We much sympathize with his lerge family circle, and trust that now. the directing hand and the loving heart are no longer with them, they may be sustained lby the feeling that he has left them a More precious legacy than lands and build- ings in the esteem which has endeated his name to all who were brought with- in the sphere of his influence. Moved by Robert ' Hoggarth and seconded by Thomas Muir: "That a copy of this resolution be communicated to Mrs. Delaney, with the heartfelt re- spect of the subscribers."
