Miss Johne made 811 marks, and Master Rose 793. We con- gratulate our young friends on their suc- cess, and we hope this is an index of what their future careers will be. I. , CAN'T CUT,TREES.—The town adlioitor of Peterboro has recently given it as j his opin- ion that telephone, 'telegraphaInd elec- tric light companies have no right to cut trees upon the highways of the town with- out the consent 01 the owners of the prop- erty, and thet the matter was further, un- der the complete control of dieIunicipal council. Orone occasion the council �f Oahawa ordwe un eratand, ered the ,arrest of (I i telephone officials for pruning strOst shade trees withouf permission' of council. Such trees are the property of the munibipality, and although in front of a man's residence and planted by him, he has no right to in- jure or remdve them without getting per- mission frori the authorities, and as the owner of the property has no such ight, to other person or company has. • GOING TO LEAVE.—The Exeter Advocate, of last week, makes the following eference to an esteemed business man of that town, who has many friends in this vicinity, hav- ing been a resident of Seaforth iti his youth : "Mr. James Grieve, who has for a number of years successfully conducted a merchant tailoring business here, has disposed of the same to Mr. W. W. Taman, of Blyr, who will take possession shortly, and veil move into the building north of Dr. Browning's drug store. During Mr. Grieve'a business career here he has made many warm friends, and in business matters was uniformly oblig- ing and.popular. We understand he intends going West in the near future. While we welcome Mr. Taman to our busineso circles, and wish him all kincisof success, we cannot but express our regret that the town is about losing such a valuable citizen." •. NEW VVIIEAT.-.--Mr. James Hudeon, of Tuckersmith, has the honor of being the &rat to deliver wheat of this year's growth in the market. This wheat was delivered at the Stewart Company's mill, in Seaforth, on Monday, July 22ed. It is bright, clear and plump, and an excellent sample, weigh. ing 60 pounds to the bushel, and will aver- age thirty bushels to the acre. The wheat generally in this vicinity is likely to, come a good way ehbrt of expectations a few weeks ago. A nicer crop on the ground cold not be desired, but the extremely hot weather has ripened a good deal of it too rapidly, Md, coneequentl -the grain i ihrunken and the yield will be light. A good deal of it, also, has been injured by the midge or some other such pest. • But, fortunately, al- though there is still a good deal of wheat grown,our farmers are not so dependent on it as they were a few years ago. • Toe CUL(' HOLIDAY. —In compliance with the request of a numerously signed petition, the Mayor has proclaimed Thursday of next week a civic holiday for the town of Sea - forth. The stores and other business places will -be closed on that day, and it would be well for all desiring todo business in town to bear this announcement in mind, es by so doing they may save themselves from dis- appointment. Taking advantage of the holiday, the 33rd regiment band have ar- ranged with the Grand Trunk Railway for a cheap excureion to Brantford, where a pleasant time can be spent picnicing in Mo- hawk Park, one of the pleasure spots of the city. Thursday is, also, the last day of the horse races there, so that all who are so in- clined can spend the day viewing the sports in that, line. The -train leaves at the usual time in the morning, 7:55, and the exeur- sioniets can return the same evening, or re- main over until the next day. The fare for the round trip is only $1 15.. We have no doubt but a large number will avail them- selves of the opportunity to have a pleasant day's outing, and give the band a good lift at the same time, FREIGHT RATE.?..—Professor S. J. Mae- - Lean, of the University of Arkansas, special commissioner appointed by he Dominion Government to inquire into lhe grievances of shippers against the railwly companies, accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Mo.

He is pains- taking and courteous and is quick to seize the point to be got at and to get at the facts without any unnecessary circumlocution. -I He was furnished with a statement- by the• Board of Trade showing numerous discrim- inations in freight rates, not only from! local points, but also from points in Canada_ , as compared with similar, points in the ; f United States.

DEATH OP ANOTHER PIONEER.---MICEL Alex. Grey, of 'the Mill Road, Tuckersmtth, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Sam uel Smillie, in Hensall, on Saturday last, at the advanced age of 82 years. She went to visit her daughter in Hensell some three week ago-; a few days after her arrival she was taken ill, and though all that medical skill and good nursing could do, was done, she grew gradually weaker until death re. stilted. Mrs. Gray was born in the parish of West Calder, near Edingburgh, in 1820. Her maiden name was Agnes Elder. In the year 1845 she was married to Alex. Gray, and ten years of their wedded life were spent in the old land. They then, with their small family, emigrated to the wilds of Huron, and settled on the Mill Road, Tuck- ersmith, where they experienced all the hardships of pioneer life. The energy and industry which characterized the family re- sulted in a fine farm and conafortable home. In 1871, the heaviest loss that can overtake a loving heart occurred, when the partner ot her joys and sorrows was taken from her and she was left with ten children. She did not loose heart, but proved herself a wise manager, kept the family together and struggled on till a competence was theirs.:,_ She was a woman o etriking individuality,: thoughtful and wit the courage of her con- victions, in whoee ompany one could not long be without noticing her superior qualities. Of the n children, nine survive, Andrew, a young an of most promising gifts, having died s me ten years ago. The remaining members are : Sohn, of Toronto; Thomas, of Acton; James, of Helena, Mon- tana ; Alexander, o Tucker -smith ; Robert, of Ontario, Califora ; Mre. Reid, on the homestead ; Mrs. 13 illie f Hensall ; Mrs. Stewart, of Blyth, and Mrs. Carnocheta of Tuckersmith. The inners' services were conducted by the v. J. S.
