THE AI'PLE CEOP--The packing of ap-
ples has just been completed this week. The
yield this year has been far ahead of any-
thing in previous years, and should titling-
+ late fermers to plant oat, larger orchards of
the best selling varietiet of fruit, and also to,
pay more attention to their present orchards. t
There are now very few orchards properly
looked after. If orchards are profitable
now, as they must have been this year, they
would yield a double return if they received:
proper care. Greater care should oar be ,
taken in the seleption of the proper varie-
ties of fruit. Farmers should also be more
careful about the sale of their apples, and
make sure they are selling . to parties who
are both able and willing to; carry out their
contracts, and ale° that they have proper
and legal contracts that can be enforced, and
not be 'carried away by high prices offered
by parties who are not willing to do as they
agree. A great deal of dissatisfaction has
been the result of this year's business and
farmers in future should learn by past
experience.
Br,—The Grieve farm adjoining this
village, has been bought by Allan Adams, of
this place; for $2,500. James Webeter,who
has had the place rented for some years, is

—A petition was circulated in town last
week to be presented to •the school board,
asking them to re-engage the present staff of
teachers. Over 100 signed it in one day,
and only a few refused, and they expressed
themselves in favor of the present staff,
though not 'signing. The Board did not
meet last Friday to make the selection,there
not being a quorum. The members present

There is, certainly, just reason to be truly
thankful for the bountiful yield of grain,

good mode of preparation for Thanksgiving
Day would be to fist pay the young people
their wages who have assisted us as a farm-
ing community to do the season's work, in
many intancee having to, take the heavy

chanikOnd merchants should receive what
is owingito -them. We will not dispute the
assertion of Rev. De Witt Talmage, one of
the moat erninent divines on the continent
of America, who says : " The individuals
vibe .will,not put forth a persistent effort to
pay themerchants for their goods are worse
than the robber who beide his victim up at
the point of a revolver, the one is a robber
while the other is a threefold robber, for he
net only robs him of hie goods but he robs
him of the time of his clerk and likewise
robs him of the time of his accountant."

LoCAI, HAPpENINGS.—The snow storm of

Mrs. McCurdy, on Tuesday afternoon, Oc-
tober, 18th. The 'attendance was larger,
than usual. Its Main object was to do
honor to Mrs. (Dr.)' Irving, who, in conse-
quence of removing to St. Marys, was on the
eve of severing her connection with the so-
ciety which she Wes to largely instrumental
ia starting, and in which she has always

Miss Maggie Dawson, on behalf of the -so-
ciety, read the following address, and Mrs.

" Dear Mrs. Irving : It is with feelings of
deep regret that we, the Kirkton Wornen's

A Good Cleaning Fluid.
When the washing of an article in soap
and water is out of the question, sponging
with some substance that will remove
grease and other stains is the next beet
thing. Naphtha or benzine is excellent for
this purPoee, but at times something more is
required. A cleaning fluid that I have used
upon silk and woolen fabrics with satisfac-
tory results is made as follows: Put into a
large saticepan two quarts of water, half an
ounce of borax and four ounces of white
castile soap, shaved fine, and stir ftequently
until thii soap and Ito ax are dissolved; then
i
take from the fire ad add two quarts of
cold warier. When he mixture is cold, add
one ounee of glycerine and one of ether.
Bottle 6,nd put away for use; it will keep
for year'.
To clean an artic14 first brush thoroughly
and then spread on a table. Sponge with
thr dew:Ling fluid and rub, hard until the
stains disappear. Spots can be removed
from carpets inIthis manner.
