Both teams play good lacroase, but the Scots have proven themselees to be the better of the two, having won the championship of the town last year and this. SUNDAY'S GALE. -The gale on Sunday evening last; about five o'clock, was the severest that has passed over here for years. The rainfall was not so great but the wind was very severe. For- tunately, however, we have not learned of any serious casualties. Several barns and other buildings Were• unroofed and fences, gates, etc, were sent in all di- rections. The standing grain was also lodged very badly in Home places, which will make harvesting more difficult, but will not affect the grain to any extent. The apple crop, which at best, makes a very poor showing, has not been im- proved, the moat of the fruit having been blown from many trees. A number of the trees, here andthere, were also broken and uprooted. There was a pretty wild ten minutes, but the force of the gale was soon over, and then there was a hard downpour of rain which was mukth needed and will do good. MORE HORSES FOR Mmirrona.-An unusually large number of heroes hay been sent from this section to Maniteb this season. Among the recent ship ments was a lot purolufsed by Mr.Jame Archibald for the Kewatin Millin Company. There were sixteen 'breedin mares and a pair of carriage horses. Th mares are all in foal to imported horses and are a very superior lot. They ar all good, clean, blocky general purpos animals, and are just the right kind o stock to breed for useful farm horses They are all young, also, and ther was not an inferior one in the lot.

M.Best and FARMING THAT PAYS. -Mr. Roderick Grey, of McKillop, near Seaforth, who by the way., is one of the most successful farmers in West- ern Ontario, has left at our of- fice a sample of White Velvet Chaff wheat of this year's growth. This is a new variety of wheat which is very highly spoken of by all who have grown it, and it has proven very productive, yielding from five to ten bushels per acre more than the older varieties. Mr. Grey sowed 70 lbs. Of seed, and reaped 50 bushels and 36 lbs. from one acre, while the Democrat variety growing alongside of the Vetvet Chaff yielded 40 bushels per acre, or a difference of ten and a half bushels in favor of the Vel- vet Chaff. This is the sort of thing that makes farming profitable. We may also say that Mr. GreY sold all his Vel- vet Chaff Wheat for $1.75 per bushel, whereas for his Democrat he only got about 90 cents. Mr. Grey had 20 acres of fall wheat this season, and had an average yield over the whole of over forty bushels an acre. DEATH OF FROFESOR JONES.- Many of our readers will remember Professor Jones, who for several years was pre- centor in the Presbyterian Church in this town; taught music classes in the vicinity, and sang at musical entertain- ments in various parts of the county. He left here ab.out six years ago, since which time he has been residing in Kin- cardine, where he continued his pro- fession as a musical instructor. It seems that on Friday last he was on a visit to Paisley. Be had been in the country a few miles from there the previous night, attending a musio,claes. He drove into Paisley in the morning, and stopped at the store of Mr. Robert Scott. He seemed to be quite•cheerful, and in the enjoyment of his usual health. He left Mr. Scott's store with the intention of going to his residence to teive a inuedeal lesson there. He only went a ahort distance, however, when he returned to the store, and complain- ing of not feeling well, he sat down on a- chair. He had older been sitting on the °hair a minute or so when he fell forward, and Nv hen aid reached him he was dead. Heart inseasei was supposed to io the cause of :death. Previous to coming to Seaforth, Professoodones had been precentor in Presbyterian churches in Hamilton, Galt and Toronto. He was a man of more than ordinary intelli- gence, and was a singer of considerable note. He had a fine, powerful voice, and was a good leader,aewell aeseamteawlent- ed inetraster.

M ELAN HOLY ACCIDENT. -A melan- choly an fatal accident occurred in the towns ep of Grey, about three miles east of this place, on Saturday, by which M • Daniel Ross, a well-known farmer an plasterer, lost his life. It seems tha early Saturday morning Mr. Roes was taking a young stallion to water. Being in a hurry he did not wait to pu a bridle on the animal but led him o t in the halter. He had the halter str p twisted around his wrist. The horse being playfully inelined made a jump, ;throwing Mr. Ross on the ground. his so frightened it that it ran away, dragging the proatrate man after it. Combeg to a fence the horse jumped t e fence and the rope broke, leaving M Roes 'the opposihe side. Mrs. Ros , hearing the noise, came out just as he husband was relieved from his perilo s position.

WEDDING BELS. -One of those pleasant events which always create a flutter, particularly in feminine circles, occurred at the residence of, Mr. Jno. Brown, "Willow Grove Farm," conces- sion 12, on Wednesday, August 5th, when Henry W. Kelly, one of our popu- lar bachelors, led te the Hymeneal altar one of- Jiullett's fairest daughters, Miss Aggie Brown. The ceremony was per- formed at 1.30 p. m. by Rev. D. M. Ramsay, in the presence of about:forty of the relatives and most intimate friends of the contracting parties, The bride was very becomingly attiked in a, costume of cream henrietta andethrah silk with bridal veil. She wore no orna- ments save a bridal wre-ath and hand bouquet of natural flowers. The groom's sister, Miss IJ. Kelly, waited upon the bride, and looked quite charming in her dress of henrietta and eurah with bou- quet of "pond lilies." The groom pre- sented quite a handsome appearance in a black dress suit, and was supported by Dr. Milne, of Blyth. The manner in which the latter performed his duties showed that he was no novice at the work. After the ceremony the company sat down to a sumptuous dinner, which consisted of everything that would tend to tempt the appetite. The bride was the recipient of a large number of hand- some presents, among thein being a beautiful gold vvatch and chain from the BARGAINS IN ALL KINDS Dress Goods, Millinery, Parasols, Prints, Sateens, Flannelettes, • Embroideries, AND SOME BIG REDUCTIONS IN - BO VS' CLOTHING. - OF The Fall Goods will commence to arrive in a few weeks, and we werdt talk summer stuff very long -we will make the prices clear it quickly.

This being the case, when the very necessary by-laws we have are not observed by those in authority, I do not think there is much use in passing another by-law forbidding the running at large of cattle and sheep, that it also might be unob- served. The only remedy see for this grievance of stock pasturing on the roads, is for the Legislature to pass an act allowing the Council of each muni- cipality to rent each mile and a quarter of road to the highest bidder, or else prohibit. all animals running at large, and allow each individual to have the grass opposite his premises. In this way self-interest would prompt indi- viduals to see that the law is observed, Unless there is some such incentive to secure the enforcement of township by-laws, I do not think there is much use in passing them, as they toe fre- quently are a dead letter. Loganot neighboring township, has a by-law pro- hibiting cattle running at large, and still cattle are as commonly seen on the roads in that township as in McKillop, and no person seems to think anything of it. And you will see, Mr. Editor, that the Council men in Tuckersmith who will quietly whisper to the free ana independent that their cattle may still run at large, by-law or no by-law, will be the men who will be elected next January, while the more honest and conscientious who will try to have the law they have passed enforced, will he the unfortunates who will have their heads knocked off, on election -day. .So• long as the people like to be humbug- ged, they will always get men willing to gratify them.

MaRRISOlie FALL WHEAT. -Fall wheat in this - township will average about 30 bushels. to the acre. It would be easy to blow - it to 40 bushels, but that is not in my line. But even at 30 bushels, the result' will be very satisfactory. There were 3,418 acres in the township. At thirty bushels'this would. be a yield of 102,540 bushels for the township. Allow- ing five bushels for each resident's home - consumption, at a population of 3,000, would be 15,000 bushels; add to this - 7,000 bushels for seed this fall, and we have left 80,540 bushels to sell; which, at 85c per bushel, will yieM $68,424,' good thing for the farmers and Seaferth as well. McKillop. A WARNING. -As the Council meets on the 24th inst., School Trustees must have their requisitions in for presenta- tion at that meeting. Requisitions not then presented will not be afterwards received, as the time is now past, and there are as yet only three in. Path - masters must also have their lists re- turned before that meeting, else the work Rill be entered on the roll as not having been performed, and then there will be lots of grumbling. TOWNSHIP M ATTERS. -The township Council of Tuckersmith having passed a bylaw prohibiting cattle from running at large on the public highways, and Monism Shannon and Charters having recommended that similar by-laws be -paesed by other townships, if people in- tend planting hedge fences, a few facto relating to McKillop may not be out of place: The township contains 52,112 acres, and 140 miles of roadway, includ- ing one half of the boundaries. This would be ecnital to 1,120 acres. Allow- ing one-third of this for waste, there would be left enough to pasture 224 cows at two cows to tech one and a quarter miles, or it woura afford pastur- age for 672 sheep and lambs. As past experience shows that by-laws in this township areinot observed, and are, con- sequently, rib use, I cannot see what good would result from -passing a by- law prohibiting stock from rudning at large. We now have a by-law forbid- ding hogs and fowls running at large, and yet near* every one permits their hogs to run on the roads, and even bulls are allowed to run on the roads con- trary to law, and pig stys are erected on the road sides. Poundkeepers, mag- istratee and township uise sh:p this a e as es le. To my own knowledge have as many as forty on the roads.
