ship. It will be sold on very easy terms
and offers a good chance for any per-
son wishing to get a good place.
—Joseph, eldest son of James Sharp,
of Morris, who has been in the West for
the past two years, is home on a visit
to his friends. We are pleased to hear
that he struck it rich in Colorado. He
purchased 320 acres of GoVernment land,
then 40 nines from the railroad, since
then a new railroad leading to Denver
has run across the adjoining lot to his
and a city, called Eureka, has sprung
up. For the claim Mr. Sharp paid $100,
and he has been offered $1,000.
—A correspondent says: A disgrace-
ful row took place at Durnion's hotel at
Belgra.ve a short time ago in which a
great deal of sulphary language was ex-
pended, broken windows, furniture,
nee., bloody noses, wounds and bruises
were on the programme. There are two
sides to the story, of course, but a
thorough, searching investigation would
bring the guilty parties to the front.
There is evidently room for the Scott
Act and several temperance institutions
to get in their work here as it appears
King Alcohol was at the head of the
disturbance mentioned above.
—The following is a summary of the
business done at the Spring Bank Cheese
Factory in Ilowick for the past season :
Amount of milk received at the factory
from May the 9th to October 24th,
2,135,498 lbs., and the amount of cheese
made therefrom was 198,527 lbs.; the
average amount of milk required to
make one pound of cheese 10i lbs.; the
average price for which the cheese was
sold for the season, 10.249 cents per lb.;
total amount realized from sales of
cheese, $20,348.61 ; cost per /b. for
naanufacturing 2.16 cents. Average
price per lb nett. paid to patrons 8 233
cents'total amount paid to patrons
$16,344 21.
—A rumour is current to the effect
that an Ashfield farmer had recently
perpetrated a sharp trick on a Lucknow
grain buyer. It appears that the far-
mer some time ago sold a load of wheat
to one buyer, and after it was weighed
at the storehouse received a check or
order for $60. This he presented to the
buyers' cashier, and the money was ac-
cordingly paid over. The farmer, how-
ever, said he wished to show his friends
the weight of his wheat and asked t be
allowed to keep the order for that lir-
pose. This was granted, but fancy fthe
surprise of another buyer to find *at
the order had also been presented to
his cashier and paid for.
for a while, Mr. Johnston escapes with
nothing but a few bruises and a slight
lameness. The Stratford Times says
Bob talked in this way, when they lifted
him from the plow: "By gum, it hit
me a good sockdolager, and I thought I
was struck by the Commercial Union
wave or some other pesky Grit reaction.
But it's all right, boys, my name is
Johnston; I am a solid old 220 pound
Tory, and it takes more than a snow-
plough to bowl me over. I am solid for
John A. every time.
—On Thursday evening last week
Mr. Matthew Morlock, living one and a
quarter miles north of Crediton, met
with a heavy loss by the destruction of
his apiary by fire. It seems that Mr.
Morlock had sent his little boy out to
build a fire in the house just before they
all went to church in the evening, and
that through a defective stove the flax,
&e: used in packing around the bee
hives were ignited. The family noticed
nothing wrong before they left, and
were in church at the einee" of the fire.
After thorfire was first seen by some of
the neighoors a large number from the
village drove back in sleighs and con-
fined the flames to the one building, but
they had arrived too late, as already 85
or 90 colonies of bees had been destroy-
ed, and only a few standing at a dis-
tance were saved. Mr. Morlock had
taken ogreat interest in the culture of
bees and had made a success of it, but
all his hard work seems to have been
for nothing. He values a colony at
about $8 to $10, in which case his loss
will be about $800, on which there was
no insurance.
Looseness of Methodist
Discipline. •
DEAR SIR.—Under the above caption
a communication appeared recently in
your valuable paper from "Justice."
A statement contained therein would
lead to the conclusion that Rev._ Mr.
Turk left Goderiah entirely careless
and unconcerned as to what might be-
come of that church ,and congregation.
I am in a position to know that such
was not the case. Though Mr. Turk
felt strongly his duty to accept the
position at Atlanta, yet he was keenly
solicitious as to the future of the Gode-
rich charge. Further, he did all in his
power to secure the best available
supply for Goderich before he severed
his connection with the congregation.
By the above correction, I do not wish
to insinuate that " Justice" intentional-
ly wished to mislead the public, but
rather that he had been incorrectly in-
formed as to the facts in the case, and
I venture the opinion that not only the
public but "Justice" will be pleased to
learn that Mr. Turk's interest in his late
charge did not cease with his severance
therefrom.
—The Goderich Star of last week
says: A project is on foot amongst a
few of our wideawake business men to
build a large A 1 propellor here, one
ca.pable of carrying say 50,000 bushels
of grain. A preliminary estimate of
the cost of such a boat is from $70,000
to $75,000, and there are the best
grounds for saying that such a vessel
would most certainly prove a paying
speculation here. It is intended to form
a company for the parpose, and stock
will be open to any who desire to in-
vest. The benefits from an enterprise
of this character would be felt by all
classes of our citizens' and it is to be
hoped that the proposalwill meet with
a hearty support when fully opened for
public consideration.
n—Mr. George Crooks, of Grey, and
SOD. William, arrived home from Mans -
pique, Michigan,
on Monday night of
last week. lar. Crooks went out to see
his son, who was reported to be in poor
health, which proved to be the case,
and brought him home with him. The
young man had been sick for a long
time and has failed a great deal, how-
ever the doctor, has hopes of his recov-
ery, which is the sincere wish of his
friends.. William is a tinsmith, having
learned his trade in Brussels, and has
worked a member of years in the differ-
ent shops in that place. Some time last
year he thought he would like a change
of business for a while, and engaged as
a book and time iceeper to a. lumber-
ing firm, which has proved a little dis-
astrous to his health.
—An old and very much esteemed re-
sident of Hullett, in the person of Mr.
John Jackson of the 13th concession,
passed away last week at the age of 67
years. Deceased, accompanied by his
late partner in life, left Scotland 43
years ago. After a brief residence in
New Brunswick and the county of Wa-
terloo, they arrived here 37 years ago.
The incidentals and privations always
undergone ha a new country, fell to his
lot. He was quiet and unobtrusive in
politics, but a life-long Reformer. He
was an elder in the Manchester Presby-
terian church, and took a very active
part in everything connected with its
spiritual and financial interests; in fact,
to him the name father of the Manches-
ter congregation can very- appropriately
be applied. The Sabbath School, under
his superintendence from the first, arose
to average as high as ] 10. He leaves a
grown up family of four sons and four
daughters to mourn his decease.

MISSION WORK AMONG THE INDIANS.
—Rev. A. D. McDonald, of Seaforth,
delivered his promised lecture on the
"Indian Missions in the 'Northwest" in
Union church on Friday evening last.
There was a large attendance, and the
lecture was not only instructive but in-
tensely interesting, and was listened to
with the most wrapt attention. It can
not fail to accomplish much good by
stimulating those who fteard it to take a
greatly increased interest in the good
work of civilizing and christianizing the
heathen of our own land. The church
choir, under the leadership of Mr.
Jamieson, gave several choice musical
selections, and the meeting, on the
whole, was a 'most enjoyable one. The
collection taken at the close amounted
to about $19.
THE WOMEN'S IWORK.—,The annual
meeting of the Union church Auxiliary

fees and collections, $4.03'; mite boxes
in Band, $29.271; mite boxes outside of

—Mr. Robert Johnston, of Goderich
township, had a narrow escape from a
horrible death one day last week, while'
walking into Goderich, with his brother
James along the railway track. They
were overtaken by the train, which,
owing to the storm they neither heard
nor saw until it was close upon them,
and before he could step aside Robert
was caught by the snow plow and
thrown up on it, but fortunately in such
a way that he got his arm round a rod
which prevented him from falling on to
the track. He was carried . nearly a
mile when the train was stopped, some
one noticing that he was no longer to
be seen. His brother meanwhile had
gone back for help, expecting Robert
had surely been killed. Although stun-

from abroad, and while we cannot now describe
the markets as overstocked, the supply in every-
thing is very pleetiful and trade is good. The
advance in prices, to which we are all looking
forward so anxiously is, though moving slowly,
coming surely enough; and if for the next two
or three weeks quotable figures do not material-
ly alter they are becoming more settled, that is
to say the exceptionol prices of a week or two
back are the regular quotations at the present
time. We have had a better quality of stock on
sale lately, taking the offerings all round, and
this will, if it continue, cause prices to advance
with a bound. We consider trade fair, the de-
mand good and quite up to the average of last
February twelvemonth, end the prospects are
very favorable.
