PATENT. CHURN. --On Friday last,
we had much pleasure in being present;
10 witness the working of one of Baid-
win's'patent figure eight churn, which'
was very. interesting. • Tile churn was
•worked• by'Mr. J. Bro}vu, who, together
with his _'son, is' acting as, agent for
this township. A quantity of cream
was'placed in the cl'iiirn. at °burning
heat. , From the niotnent:<Mr. Brown
Started to •turn, ,the Handle, every .per
son Wits .'f timing" it, and at exactly;
.one minute and...fifty: seconds after
starting, the Cover was removed, and
a beautiful sample of butter was to be
seen.• One great advantage of, this
churn is that air can be freely admitted,
which is-. necessary to . making good
butter. ' Thechurn is without paddles,
the work all being done by oscillatory
concussion. The milk can be separated
from the butter very easily, and can
be. taken out of the churn without .any
trouble.
His FUTURE WIFE'S P'ICTURE.—A
good stqry is -on the rounds, about a cer-
.tain High School student, from the.
townships; who,having read an adver
tisement•°that upon receipt 'of a certain
small sum of money.. the advertiser'
'would send any male applicantdes-
cription of his' future wife, forwarded
the money : and received a description
of abeauteouscreature,with all the fens4.
bine olivine. The writer. added .that if
the young man would send' an addition-
al -sum, he would .set an .actual picture
of his intended:,.,The sallow youth did'
so, and inreturn received a photograph
of a fat variety actress, in tights, and
the.poor fellow actually felt flattered
at the thought of having so voluptuous.
a creature for his future wife. The
sharks and swindlers who live upon, the
foolishness of our youths, have, we are
pleased to think, but few victims
amongst our High School boys. --Signal.
Clinton High School' .boys are not so
"green" as to be taken in by such
swindles, we would think=
however,
we give the above fact for their benefit.

Tuesday, and entered their four clear

Avery have also entered, making six

will also enter his colt. We under-
stand that the firemen -will take charge
