H has also made a walk between them anj the -fence. Duncan is one of our tidy, good farmers. -Chas. Reading has also a very -tie place. Three years ago it was a very rough farm,but now itis one of the tidiest and best little farms in the township. Be has it nearly all fenced with straight board fences and shade trees., all along the front. He is also one of the tidy farmers, bat then, as some people say, Teen and money will do most anything. --Wm. Diraent's sale was well attended last week, and John Farrow, as visual, took about the last cent out of things that was in them. -John E. Mocire is away to Algoma, and is employed at good wages at blacksmithing for a rail- way companya-Mr. Frank Patterson, of this place, took third prize in the heavy- weight quoit match at the Lucknow Caledonian games. He did well con- sidering he was pitted against such man as Mat Brown and J. Robertson, of Lon- don, and J. Cummings, of Harristcoa. issoamsosommom snit there was an immense turrlout1 of people, the grounds being[ packed all afternoon, and the gate receipts being larger than ever before. The first thing on entering the grounds that attracted at- tention was the fine display Of handsome- ly finished vehicles and a goodly array of agricultural implements. Next came the poultry, of which there was a very nice exhibit and larger than ever before. In sheep and. pigs the competition was not so keen as we have seen it, but there were many very valuable 0.nimals in both classes. There were not so Imany cattle but the character of the animals shown was far in advance of any former year. There were some as fine thermighbreds as couldbe seen in almost anyffiow ring. As usual there was a very large Fshow of horses, and the judges had ia bilg con- tract which kept them busy from about 1 o'clock until near dark. In the lot there were many very superior !animals in all classes. The officers and directors of the show are again to be congratulated on the success of their show and the growing favor with which it seems to be viewed by the public. The prize list will be found on the 6th page of this issue. Brussels. RAILWAY MEETING. -There is again a slight flutter in railway circles here. It having become rumored that the Cana- dian Pacific authorities had definitely determined to extend their roadl from Guelph to Goderich,it was deemed ladvis- able by some to see if anything co1ild be done to ensure the construction of the IteW road in this direction. Acco ding- ly a meeting of delegates from Lis owel, Blyth, and other intervening porn- s was held at Brussels on Monday last to con- sider the situation. All were uiaarlimous in their opinion that a branch Of the Canada Pacific through this Section would be of great benefit, and from the statements of delegates at this meeting there is no doubt but substantial aid would he forthcoming from- the Munici- palities to be benefitted. The road is chartered to run by Monckton, and if this intention is carried out, of curse it can not come through here. Bult some -maintain that a more favorable route would be from Guelph to Listowel, and from thence by Brussels and Blyth to Goderich. The object of thiseeting 1. was to take steps to lay before t e pro- moters of the road such information as Will tend to induce them to change their route and adopt this one. There was a good deal of discussion, but the only definite result reached was to appoint a Committee to confer with the Canada • Pacific authorities, and to look after the interests of the municipalities along this route. rrangemente with W. Billings, of that city, for the publication of sev- eral musical selections. May his efforts be crowned with success. - Mr. John Saddler is very busy at present making cider -Mr. James Bell has __Tented the Pellow farm for another term of years. --=Mr. A.

We hope he will have a good time while here, and not go away alone. We understand he is doing well in $t. Thomas. -The excavation for the base- ment of the Methodist church is about completed. The church will be moved from its present site to the new one at once. Mr. Underwood has the contract for moving the church, and started at the work on Wednesday last. The mason work will be pushed forward with all speed. -We learn with regret that Mr. R. J. Evans and family are intend- ing to remove from this place. This will be quite a loss to this locality, as himself and family are highly eeteemed here. We hope he will change his mind. -The oatmeal mill has been raised one storey, and is getting the roller process put in, and when completed will be one of the best mills in the country. Mr. Jas. Ireland will still have the contra, and it is not necessary to say that it will be well managed. Whig -ham. LOCAL HAPPENINGS. -The Beaver Block, which was destroyed by fire last spring, is again rebuilt, and the tenants who had temporary quarters during the rebuilding ijhave moved back to their old places. -The Canadian Pacific Rail- way is now formally opened for traffic, and regular trains are running frem here to Toronto. -Building operations have been very brisk here this summer, and a great many tenement houses hate been erected, but it would seem as if the de- mand is more than the supply, as houses are still very scarce. -Mrs. Ross, of Lucknow, has leased rooms in the Beaver Block, and is going to start a .dressmak- ing and fancy knitting establishMent - There is some rumor of another paper etarting in Wingham in the interest of the Reform party, as ever since the death of the late editor of the Times that paper has been edited by Conserva- tives, although it would still appear to be Reform, but it seems not to be con- tent unless it is ridiculing some of the leading men of the Reform party. - Quite a number took advantage of the reduced rate to London during the fair. -The directors of the Hortipultural Society are now busy getting everything ready for the exhibition which is to be held here on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. 1111MNIM 01 I I I I MI I= I I I mamminammsmaNin The Model Schools.

She was born near Manchester, England, and about 36 years ago came to Canada with her late husband, remaining for one year in Chinguacousy ; they then came west with the tide of emigration that was moving to Huron, and settled on lot 15, on the 12th concession, of Hullett. Like many of the other pioneers who did so much to make Huron the magnificent county it is she helped her husband in securing a comfortable home being a woman of perseverance and Pluck, and amid the many cares incident to the care of a young family, a new country and the work of a farm, she always found time to help and comfort the needy and distressed. About eleven years ago her husband. died, and from that time to within six months ago she continued to superintend the work of the farm, doing as well as anyone else could. This spring her health began to fail, and she took up her residence with -her daughter, Mrs. John Mills'where' she remained until her death, which was due entirely to old age. She was a member of the Methodist church, was conscious up to the time of her death, and died "in a full assurance of faith." Her remains were interred in Londesboro cemetery, a very large number following them there, She leaves two sons, William, who resides in Londesboro, and John, who is a mem- ber of the Hullett council; also three daughters, they being: Mrs. W. Sander- son and Mrs. J. Mills, of Hullett, and Mrs. John Searles, of Morris. Of the deceased it may truly be said "They die in Jesus and are blest - How calm their slumbers are; From suffering and from woes released, k And freed from every care. Zurich. BULL DIED. -About a week ago "Red Duke," the well-known thoronghbred Durhra bull of Mr. John Voelker of the 12th concession of Hay, passed in his checks and left this sublunary sphere. Consumption is supposed to be the cause of death. He was two years old, and was one of the best animals in the sec- tion. Mr. Voelker paid $125 or him • when a calf, and valued him at the time of his death at $200. TICE Snow. -The Zurich show, held under the auspices of the Hay Branch Agricultural Society, always attracts a large number of visitors and exhibitors. There is not another local show held in the county that draws to it every year such a large number of outside tvisitors. This year was only exceptional in point of the fact that there was a larger at- tendance and a better show than on any former occasion. Thursday was showery and not very agreeable, but thi prevent the patrons of the show out in good force with their exh the result was a hall packed fu did not turning ibits,and 11 of all kinds of articles from a squash to a fancy wool tidy, and making a more complete and handsome display them will be seen at many more pretentious places. There was a very like exhibit of grains and roots, while the fruit for the season was exceptionally good, and the dairy pro- ducts were not behind. InIla e ladies department there was the la gest and nicest display we have seen at this show, thus proving that the motto of - the ladies of Zurich and vicin- ity is "Upward. and Onward." The second day of the show, Friday, was, in point of weather, all that could be desired. It was dry, bright, and neither too hot nor too cold. As a re - Duncan, Isabel Dewar, Jessie H.

NEW AND ST LISH GOODS HARD TI ES PRICES. Toronto Horse Market. The trade continues dull though a slight im provement is evident in Eome directions. Wha demand exists is for the better kind, and goo sound horses fetch from 8175 to 8200. On dealer has purchased rather largely at from 8150 to 8200. But the general complaint is that trade is flat, though it ts admitted to be opening up a little. Indications jpoint to a demand in the heavy draft market, and big feeders are selling for Pennsylvania. The outlook for the fall trade is at present only medium. At Grand's business was better. Twenty-four horses were sold at from $65 to $170 each; also a pair of bays 16 hands high, were sold for $300. Local Notices.

MONTREAL, Sept, 20. -There was a rather small supply of beef, nuitton and pork critters on the markets to -day, and prices aae higher all round..

Good beeves are very scarce, and prinlei animals sell at from 41c to 44c per lb., with pretty good beasts at from 3irC to ic do.

The highest priced lot were 12 horses which cost 31,440, and thet lowest priced lot were three horses which cost but $195. TORONTO, Sept. 21. -Though the demand was good the supply of an ordinary quality of stock was abundant, and prices generally were inclined to rule low. A large supply of a better quality was required. There was too much poor cattle on the market, and in consequence inferior was selling low -at from 2c er lb. Good butchers' cattle realized from 3 to l3ic, while picked lots sold readily at 34 to 3cI. Prices were a little firmer. The demand foij export cattle was good, .and prices were consider bly higher. Lambs of !,good quality were wante - the best sold easily at $3.25 each and inferim4 from $2.75 to $3. Milk icows were scarce and wanted. Hogs were loffered at 25c.per cwt. al round.

THE OLD COUNTRY. -Some improvement has .taken place in the British cattle trade, and cables on Monday to the Montreal Gazette quote higher priees and at steady demand at the ad- vance. Receipts from Canada and the United States were materially smaller,- but the general aupply waa still ample. Demand, however, was more active and a more healthy trade was done. At Liverpool, on Monday., there was a good sup- ply of cattle, and a fair trade was done at an ad- vance of lc. Prime Canadian steers wereratank, good to choice at 11c, poor te medium atiloc, and inferior and bulls at Vic to 9c. Sheep Were in heavy supply, and experienced a dragging trade.
