SOLD TIM ,WOOL. -The Mitchell Advo-
.cate of last Week says : Thursday morning,
as Mr. McKellar, of Cromarty, was driving
into town to sell his wool, he lost 50 pounds
between Mr. Sadler's tile yard and the cor-
ner of the 2nd concession, 'Hilbert. Mis-
sing the bundle, he immediately returned,
but no trace af it could be seen. Shortly
afterwards he found out the guilty persons,
and going in search, he learned that they
had sold the wool that afternoon in Sea -
forth. That was rather a quick way of
making money.

BR AK LNG JA I L. -On 'Sunday afternoon,
Thorn s (Tab) Craig, who was under remand
for- ob aining mOney under false pretences,
broke nut of the county jail, at Goderich,
and is still at large, though a reward of
fifty clatters is offered for hie capture. The
escape was effected by climbing over the
wall, after which he ran down the bank and
swam the river, and disa.ppeared in Attrill's
hush. Craig was seen in the neighborhood
of the International salt block on -Monday
evening, and the same evening it is reported
that a boat Was miseing from the harbor,
the supposition being that Craig took it, and
escaped out of town.
A GOLD MINE ix MCKff,LOP, -On 'Thurs-
day, Mr. James Kerr, of the northern gravel
road, McKillop, brought into town a sample
of ore which. he had taken from the bowels of
the earth on his farm. They were drilling
a well, and when the drill was down about
120 feet, it was drawn out, and in the midst
of the sand and gravel which adhered to it,
was this ore. h is encased in a dark col-
ored stone. This stone, when viewed under
a magnifying glass, sparkles with a bright
substance like gold or copper. Indeed, this
substance is quite discernible even by the
naked eye. The stone, although Soft, is
mueli heavier than an ordinary stone, show-
ing that it is impregnated with some metal-
lic substance, whatever it may be. Mr.
Kerr hatenda sending a sample to Toronto
to have it analyzed by an expert, apd we
will know shortly what his opinion of it is.
We hope our young friend may have struck
lack, and thaa before long he will be parcel-
ling out hie fine farm into mining claims.

enjaying the lake breezes -at Goderich these
days. -Your editorial on the London elec-
tion in last week's issue, is well to the pur-
pose, and to it your Eginondville scribe says
a loud ainen. Why are temperance men all
over this country- so wrong-headed as to
snap at the only hand Which has given them
any progressive legislation during the last
twenty-five years, and is still willing to
meet their wishes as far as possible? Yet,
even Liberals so far forgot the best interests
of the cause as to refrain from voting at
the Iast election, because they did not, have
a pledged temperance man to vote f . a
hen will men learn to fight with the f
most available weapon at hand. -The odor cl
of apples fills the air these days and one m
team Flit every turn, " What shall we do a
with all the fruit 7" There is nobodY to
buy, beg or steal them. Even the worms
have failed to claim , their usual share,

friend Leadbury, fori your kindly remarks.
It was perhaps well for you that worse
business engrossed your .attention just then,
as a man with the blood of tae Emerald
Isle in his veins would cut a ridiculous
figure taking our remarks on the poor house
seriously. As to our politics bearing bad
fruit we haVe been giving rather extra
cultivation to it during the past five years,

EARLY ITARVEST.-Mr. James Somerville,
of McKillop, near Roxboro, finished cutting
his grain on Thursday. This is Pretty early,
but it is not as early as it was nine years
,ago. In that year lUr. Somerville had all
his grain cut and housed on exactly the
same day as ha was . through ,cutting this
year. Considerable hat been said about the
exceedingly early harvest tide year, but it
would seem that, when an accurate account
has been kept of the different seasons, as
has apparently been done by Mr. Somer.-.
ville, that there have been seasons equally
as early as this, and some of them earlier.
But people ere apt to forget from time to
time.

chuich, for the purpose of having a lawn so-
ciaIrin aid of the fundenf the society. The
evening was ;somewhat chilly to be favor-
able to out door amusements, or to make ice
cream enjoyable: However, there was a
good attendance and all seemed to enjoy
themselves in the various ways common on
such occasions. The band, of the 33rd bat-
talion waa present and gave several of their
choicest selections. The grounds were beau-
tifully lighted up with chinese laeeterns,
and looked almost like fairy land ieraepre-
sented to be, " The ladies in charge,' as well
as the worthy host and hostels, did all in
their power to make every person. feel at
home and to make the occasion agreeable to
all; and"the pleasant countenances visible on
all sides showed that they succeeded admir-
ably.
DEATH OF A FORMERASEAFORTH LADY. -
The lady referred to in the foilewing para-
graph, which we take from the Mitchell
Recerder, was a daughter- of -Mr. George
Hutchison, of . this town, and was -well -
known to *a number of - Seaforth people :
" The death took place at Saginaw, Mich -
igen, on Friday, Jaly 17th, of Mrs. Julia
Kinsman,' --wife of James II. Kinsman, of
Wallace, at the age of 46 years and 8
months. Mrs. Kinsman had . gone to Sag•
inaw a- few months ago to undergo treat-

THE BICYCLE RACES. -The bicycle races
on the recreation grounds on Wednesday
eyning last were fairly attended. The
races proved aery interesting, and as far as
the raqine was cnneerned, the evening was
a mosa c'deeided success. The first event
was the one mile matched race between
Clay Manville, of Clinton, and J. W. Liv-
ingston. This was a close paid interesting
race, but Mr. Livingston proved too speedy
,for his opponent, and passed over the tape
with a good lead. In the five mile race be-
tween these two gentlemen the excitement
ran high. It was a race from start to
finish, and as they came down the stretch
it looked as though it might be a tie, and
everybody stood up and yelled, but Man-
ville passed over the tease about a foot in
the lead. Such a finish to a race is rarely
seen, and the crowd showed the apprecia-
tion_ of the efforts of the riders by their
hearty applause. In the open race there
were four contestants, Ma.nville ,and Emer-
son, Clinton, and E. Latimer 'and B. Hillery,
town. Manville was too swift for the
others, and won in two straight heats, with
Latimer second in the first heat and Emer-
son seeond in the next heat. In the first heat
Hillery had a nasty fall, but the other ridere -
stopped and made a fresh saart. It is the
intention to hold another series of races in
about two weeks, when a good programme
may be expected.

HE LIKES THE PAPER BUT NOT THE POL-
iercs.-Our old friend, Mr: Benjamin Blair,
formerly of Klippen, but new of McLennan,
Algoma., writes to us" on the lith of July, •
as follows : As my subscription is about ex-
pired, I send you the amount+ of sabscrip-
tion dee, not foe the saks ef the politics, •
but the family have not much. else to read
and ahey like to see THE EXPOSITOR for the
home news, and as we have no school here
yet, that is a consideration to me. The
weather has been fine here since the first
two weeks after we landed, with. frequent
showers, and the ceops look well. We leet t
about aalf our potatoes, on account of a bi r
rain we got two days after they were plant-
ed, the- seed rotting in the ground. We
are well suited with.our new home so far.
This last is foe our friends around Kippen.
I have written..to a number since we- came
up here,but .have only received one reply
as yet. I .,did not think times would
get hard' so soon after the Grits got into
power.

Sarnia. The police of Sarnia were on 'the
look out for him, for Mira Forbes' rig, he
having communicated with them before he
got word of his own horse. The man ,was
arrestedeat Saritia, and will likely be *ied
for all the thefts, and it will be a good
thing if he has to spend the next twenty
years of his life earning a living by holiest
toil in the penitentiary. He left a valise at
Henderson's hotel here, but when opened, it
was found to contain only a pair of old
.shoes, hieh the genial proprietor would
like to d'apose of for the price of a week's
board di e by the owner.
THE PPISII MARRIED MEN. J --What haft
caused these feelings we know not, but to
use a slang phrase soine of the married men
in town are getting "Gay," and in this
mood the,y have puffed themselves up into
believing thattlaey can play baseball. To
show oft their science on the ball field, they
heve made arrangements 'with the single
men to play them a -game of baseball on the
recreation grounds on Friday evening next.
Teams have been selected which ought to
put up a good game. Of course, we can'e
vouch for a brilliant display of scientific
ball, but there' will be heaps of fun. And
this should attract a goodly number of
pleasure seekers.

an rig from Mr. Arthur Forlaes, liveryman, h
of this town, and failing to return it. Mr. ti
Forbes got his rig in Goderich. The fellow si
left the horse at a hotel there, but had d
traded the covered buggy for a cart to a A
in
man na ed I hompsone and got five dollars
to boot. This man refused to let Mr.
Forbes -k ow where the buggy was, instil he
gave hi five dollars,- when he produced it,
and admitted having traded with the thief.
It would serve him right if Mr. Forbes
should now take proceedings against him.
The thief, it is supposed, took the boat at
Goderich, but a few days afterwards he
turned up at London, where he pu up at
the Fraser house, and registered hi name h
as F. A. Hastings. Here he rep esented e
himself as an agent for a bindeT which L
binds grain with straw. He hired a horse G
end buggy from a liveryman there, and in
promised to return with in a few hours. of
This was the last seen of him about Lon- M

or a cart. At Stiathroy he sold the Lon -
