of Clark Murdoch. Mrs. Murdoch departed
this life after a short but severe illness, and

band and six children, three of them being
quite young and needing a mother's care."
—Morton, eldest son of Janus H. Young,
of Moosomin, Manitoba, formerly of Brus-
sels, has had a very serious time with one of
his arms. He sprained his wrist, and the
damage -resulted in a sort of felon spreading
up his arm to his elbow. He hed the arm
tamed and the bone scraped in three or four
plates. The doctors wanted to amputate it,
but Mr. Young would not consent. If the
present treatment proves efficacious the erm
will likely away, be stiff. It has caused a
great deal of suffering to the patient.
—On Wednesday night of last week it de-
liberate attempt wes made to burn out the
• premises of Dr. Blacks% Clinton. A couple
of large bottles, in which he kept chemica.ls,
were taken up a naan-hole in the ceiling,
(which is wooden) and the contents, with
coal oil poured on and ignited. After burn-
ing some time it fortunately went out itself,

the bottles were mined and a search insti-
tuted for them. est
—On Thursday, March the 31st, the sad
news was spread abroad of the death of Mrs.
Wm. Pincomb, of Lucknow. Although her
illness was of a dangerous nature her death
was unlooked for. Deceased was the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Salty, one of Luoknow's
oldest residents. About four o'clock the
same day Duncan McDougall, of that place,
departed this life after a few months of
severe suffering. Deceased was only 25
years of age, and was robust and healthy up
to the time of his illness.
—On Monday, 28th tit, Mary Jane Mc -
Math, beloved wife of the late John Finne-
gan, West Wswatroah, departed this life,
having succumbed to the effects brought on
by la grippe and heart disease. The de-
ceased waa a very industrious person, hav-
ing, in company with her husband, endured
the hardships and necessary toils which
meat of our primitive settlers had to con-
tend with in order to make a living, and by
dint of perseverance and industry have
lefttheir children comfortably provided for.
She was a kind mother and a good citizen,
and was held in great esteem by all her
neighbora and acquaintances. Deceased was
64 years and 10 months old at the time of
her death.
—On Tneeday, 5th inst. Mrs. Samuel
Lamport, a much -respected resident of
Creditondied after an illness of three
weeks. 'Mrs. Lampert was a daughter of
William Dick who died about 16 years ago.
After the death of her father the deceased
lived with Mr. Alex. Dow, of Exeter, who
raised her aa one of their family, and they
became very much attached to one another.
Deceased was born August 7, 1870, and
died at the young age of 22 years, 7 months
and 29 days. She was married to Mr. Lam-
port oz the 12th of June, 1890. About 3
weeks ago she was confined, and from the
result she never recovered. She leaves to
survive her a husband,a son three weekeold,
a mother who lives in California, one
brother and one sister.
—As Mr. Walter Green, of the Union
Factory, Wingham,
was engegecl taking
furniture from the finishing room to the
packing room with the elevator, on Tuesday
of last week, he stooped to hand his vest to
one of the men, and in doing so threw his
knee forward. The elevator was running
upward at full speed and it caught his knee
underneath the top of the door jamb and the
foot, on the platform. It began to crush his
leg so that he could hear ankle bones pres-
sing together. Ile dropped himself back-
ward on the platform, and by some means
which he cannot explain his leg became
looened. The doctor was chilled and ex-
amined the leg and found that no bones
were broken.

party was held at Mr. Thomas Rus-
sell's residence on Friday evening, last week,
where those that liked dancing kept that
amusement going until the morning hours.
As this is the busy season parties
will soon have to take a back seat. —Mr.
James Hall sold a young horse at the last
fair in Brussels, for $120.—Mr. Milton
Hughea has gone to Detroit to try his for-
tune in that city.—Some of our farmers
sowed wheat on Thursday and Friday, last
week. No doubt the snow storm on Sat-
urday would stop it from making too rank a
growth.—Mr. John Hanna, of the 6th line,
has purchased a new Wisner grain drill from
Mr. George Kirkby, of Walton.—It was a
horse owned by Mr. D. Kelly, that got hurt,
-
and not Mr. D. Healy, as appeared in last
week's issue.
WHAT ARE THEY TO DO ?--It appears
that the Colorado spring wheat gets a bud
name from the millers of Ontario. Will they
please tell the farmers what variety to sow
next? Now, a few years ago the pork buy-
ernweatted nothing but heavy hogs on the
market, hogs that would weigh 400 pounds,
but to -day they have changed their minds,
and want light pork, hogs that will weigh
from 180 to 200 pounds. So it is the same
way with barley ; if it is dark in color the
buyer will tell you it is no good for the
brewer. The beat the farmers can do is to
grow the wheat that will yield best. How
many farmers have paid fancy prices for new
kinds of wheat and other grain and when
threshing time comes it turns out no better
than Lost Nation or other varieties, ,and
last, but not least, when taken to market it
is sold for 80 cents to 90 cents. It is hard
to please some people. , Some of the starv-
ing people of Russia would be glad of any
kind of flour, whether the wheat it was
made of is condemned or not.
