A PAINFUL AcCIDENT.-Mr, Wm. John:
ston, of this town, met with a painful ac-
cident on Wednesday of' last week. He
was plastering the inside of a silo, in Tuck-
ersmith, and was standing on a scaffold
about 10 or 12 feet from the floor, when a
rope which supported the scaffold broke,
and he fell to the floor. Bones in one of his
ankles and foot were broken, and he was
otherwiee badly bruised and shaken up, but
it wan fortunate that it. was no worse, as
such a fall for a man of his years might
easily have prayed fatal. Mr. Jolanston is
now confined to his residence, but is pro -
greasing as favorably as could be expected
under the circumstances.

DEAT1T OF WILLIAM DRUal MOND. -Tie e
following appeared in the Toronto Globe of
Friday last : "Mr. William Drummond, ac-
countant and statistican at the Parliament
buildings, died at his residence 104 Clinton
street, on Thursday, August 22nd. Heart
failure due to the excessive heat is given as
the cause of death. Mr. Drummond was 76
years of age, and had been in the employ of
the Ontario Government for the past 13
years. He formerly riesided at Blyth, where
he was engaged in general bueiness. He
leaves a widow and three children, Robert,
Mrs. Van Egmond, of Seaforth,and Harriett
D. Drummond." The deceased was an old
and highly respected re3ident of this county.
He carried on a large merca,ntile businees in
Blyth for many years previous to moving to
Toronto and was, a leadibg resident of that
village. He had many old friends in this
county who will:learn of his demise with
regret. •
•
GOOD WHEAT. -A few days ago Mr.
Henry Cash, of McKillop, brought to the
mill here a eatdple of some wheat which he
ie getting for seed. This wheat, which is
Egyptian amber, or as some folk e call it,
Egyptian Red, is spoken of very highly as
being both a good weigher and a good yield.
er.. Thoma e Shrobbrook, of the Ilth con-
cession, Hullett, from whom Mr. Cash got
his seed, has been growing ahis wheat for
some years, and sap, it has never failedlim.
This year's crop tests 62 pounds to the
bushel, and will yield 40 bushels te the
acre, which le exceptionally good for this
year. In the same field with the Egyptian
Amber was sown Dawson's Golden Chaff,
which was badly broken down by ,the Hes-
sian fly, while the other wheat was appar-
ently not touched. If farmers would pay
more attention to their seed they would get
much better remits from their grain both
in quantity and quality.
' •
A PLEAsANT SEND OFF. -Before leaving
Petrolia, Mr. H. W. Brown, the new Mod-
ern Language master in the Collegiate In-
stitute here, was given a pleasant send off
by the congregation of the Pet olia Baptist'
church. Thu Petrolia Topic, of 4ugusb 2let,
makes the following reference to1 the affair :
"After the evening service in phe Baptist
church on Sunday evening last, tfhemembers
tarried for an hour to say good- ye to Mr.
H. W. Brown, who leaves t is week to
take up .the work to which he has been
chosen in Seaforth. After a number of the
meinbers had made appreciative addresses
of the good work Mr. Brown had performed
in the church here, and expressed their
hope for his continued usefulness and hap-
piness, and for Mrs. Brown' S improved
health in a new clime, Mr. J. A. Jackson,
in a very happy speech, requested Mr.
Brown to accept a email token of their love
and esteem, and at the' same moment Mr.
Snively 'uncovered a table on which was
spread the people's gift to Mr. and Mrs.
Brown. The present consisted of a hand-
some cut glass water set, a large cut glass
fruit dish and a dozen individual salts with
silver epoons for same. The expressions of
regret were many and sincere, as Mr. Brown
has been a hot in the church and a, great
worker among the young people."

DEATH. OL MISS Aire:rimer. -M uch sur-
prise and deep regret was felt here Wed-
nesday morning on it becoming known that
Miss Jane Susan Aitchison, of Roxboro,
McKillop, had died on the previous even-
ing. It had been known for several days
that Miss Aitchison was seriouely ill, but
none thought the end .was so near, and all
hoped for her recovery. It seems that
about two weeke ago Miss Aitchison went
to Victoria Hospital, London, to undergo
an operation for some internal complaint,
with which she had been troubled for a
short time previous, but her case was then
not, considered serious. The hoopital
authorities, however, ,decided that she was
not strong enough to undergo the operation,
and she seems to have gone down very
rapidly. On Friday morning last her friends
here received a telegram announcing her
eerious Muesli, and her • brother James at
once went to London and -was with her un-
til the last. Miss Aitchison was a fine, ro-
bust looking woman, and to all appearances
bid fair to reach a good, old age, • But hers
is only another instance of the truth that
life is net assueed to any, and that none can
tell when the call may come. The deceased
was the youngest daughter of the late Mr.
John Aitchison, and Was a kind, genial, and
greatly beloved lady, and her death will be
very g•eatly felt in the family home,
where she had long been.the main stay of an
aged end invalid mother,o,nd she will_be keen-
ly miseed, not, by her alone, but by her rela-
tives sled numerous friends. The remains
were taken home on Wednesday,and were in-
terred in the Maitlandbank cemetery on
Thursday.

DEATH OF MR. BURDGE.-Many of our
readers will learn with feelings of deep re-
gret of the death of Mr. John Burdge, who
resided near here, 011 the London road. The
sad event, however, was not unexpected, as
he had been suffering from ill health for
over a year. He had 'been a. resident of
this district for over 30 years, coming here
from the county of Ontario.. He was a
kind hearted man, an enterprising and use-
ful citizen, and was held in high esteem for
his probity of character and his many good
qualities of head and heart. He was a con.
sistent member of the Presbyterian church
and in politics a staunch Liberal. His death
is a distinct loss to the community where he
was so much respected. The sincerest
sympathy of all will be extended to Mrs.
Burdge and family in this the hour of their
greatest bereavement.

How Harvesters Were Treated
In Manitoba.
G. H. Bradbury. epecial travelling agent
of the Provincial Government, recently re.
turned to Winnipeg, from High Bluff. He
said :-" I am informed the farmers all over
the province are letting the harvesters hang
around for days before engaging them. This
is a small piece of business, and is bound to
react on the farmer. Weeks ago it wee
doubtful whether sufficient help could be se-
cured ; these farmers were crying for labor-
ere,and in many cases offering $40 and $50 a
month, but as soon as large numbers began
to arrive, induced by large wages, the farm-
ers take advantage of the apparent excess
and refuel() to engage a man until ready to
cut grain, and then instead of paying good

lover the Province, and past experience
would at least suggest the wisdom of stack-
ing and making it safe, and thus increase
the value of the wheat. It would give em-
ployment to the men who have been wearily

difficulty arose from lack of a proper system
in distributing the men as they arrived, and
on this account the main line distriete

which they were not slow to avail them-
selves of. Some of the trouble has been
occasioned by the fact that matey of the 10*
called harvesters are young boys of no ex-
perience, and many of the men are out of
stores and offices. These cannot expect to
receive the wages of good experienced men,
and this class has found it difficult to get
employment.
BETTER. SYSTE3I IN FUTURE.
"Tho local Government has beeia Meg
all it can to distribute the harvesters, and
here succeeded so well that not more than -
150 are left in the city. In future some
system by which a municipality will agree
to engage a certain number of men will
have to be adopted, and wages will have to
be agreed upon before eastern harvesters
will be induced to come.
"I regret the shortsighted policy pur-
sued by our farmers in refueing tea _engage
the men until the last moment, and then at
very much lower wages than they had
= right to expect. The excursions were un-
fortunately nearly two weeks too early.
I -am satisfied if the men had arrived twee
weeks later and bad been properly die-
tributed so that no point was overlooked,
all would have been employed at good
wages."
