THE SCOTS VICTORIOUS. -On Friday
evening last the Scots, , of Little Scot-
land, and the Oaks,' of Seaforth, played
the final lacrosse match which was to
decide who were to be champions of the
town. Both teams were a tie, each hav-
ing won two games, and both were de-
termined to make a hard fight for
victory. Play was eornmenced at 7
o'clock, but after a short time it was
seen that the Scots had the best of it,
and at 8.15 they were declared winners
lay a score of two goalto one. Mr. D
McDonald refereed the game, while
Messrs. R. Logan and J. Weir acted as
umpires. The above ;teams are com-
posed of young men under 20 years of -
age and under 140 is. 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. Th
selection does credit to Mr. Archibald'
skill as a horse judge, and we are sur family to Toronto, shortly. M

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. He liedhadahat
reraarkable career. He was a native of
the Southern States; was born in slavery
and escaped to Canada shortly before

THE DAY DREAMERS SURPRISED. -
On Sunday afternoon last a young man
and his fair one wended their;way into
an orchard, in thie village, to ;enjoy the
soft and gentle zephyrs and eool their
fevered brows under the shade of an
apple tree. But alas for the frailty of
human nature, the intense heat soon
lulled them off to the land oif dreams,
and the Y were no doubt dreaming of
pleasant days to come, when; suddenly
the roaring off the mighty ruehing Wind
and the tumbling of apple& on their
peaceful upturned faces awoke them to
a sense of great danger being close at

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. Mr. Ross got up

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

they even return the names of those
who do not perform their work. 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•

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-
