CAUGHT' IN A PULLEY.—Mr Jacob
Miller came near losing his Left arm
the other day, having it caught in a
pulley. As a result thereof he was
compelled to carry it a sling. No
'"bones were broken.
'RECOVERING.—Reeve McMurchie
baa been suffering -for a couple of
. weeks from a painful ,rand serious
illness, and his many friends will be
;n ueh pleased to learn that be is re -
i; `hovering, though yet far from being

THICK ICE.—The nights have been
quite cool lately, but one would hard-
lythink they had been cold enough
to freeze hard. Tuesday morning
;its two inches thick—we saw it
:-measured—was picked up onnAlbert
atreQt, that's pretty thick ice for this
-''early in the year—but it had been
dumped there by fisherman Harrison.
ROYAL TEai'LARs.—A branch of
this organization was formed here
.last Friday evening. A meeting to
complete the list ofofficers, etc., will
be held in the lecture room of the
Rattenbury St. church, this (Friday)
evening at 8 o'clock. Mr Bemen
and wife will be present. A11 who
intend to join are particulary request-
ed to attend.
ALW&Ys ROOM FOR ONE MORE,—
This id what Lu Stevens says about
•tailors, and acting upon thie belief he
has accepted the position lately held
by J. C. Cole in connection with R.
Goats & Son. During the last two
years Lu has had lots of experience
-having worked in some of the best
*hops in Minnieapolis, Minn, and
other western towns, and ought there.
fore to turn out fashionable and well-
lmade garments.
INDIAN RELICS —The other day,
while plowing, Mr James Lands.
'borough, of Tuckersmith, came across
ain -Indian relic in the shape of a
small stone about six inches long,
flattened on one side, and sharpened
to an edge. It is of remarkably hard
atone, and looks as if it had been in-
tended for use like a chisel. Mr
"Londesborough has also a couple of
flint arrow heade that he found on
;�tl*Yfarm, relics of the long, long
ago." I.,
HARD, BUT PERHAPS TRUE•—A
?correspondent of the Seaforth Sufi
alntimaies that a stranger going into
tiv that town "would wonder whether
' 'they had got into a driving town or
e ? a. cow pasture.” That is worse than
, ^ sinything we have ever said of Sea -
forth, but as it appeals in a Seaforth
paper, we suppose it must be true.
While the cows are feeding in the
•rass•grown streets of that suburban
resort, business goes on as usual at
the hub.
TAX COLLECTORh:—Mr T. Netlans,
tax collector of Hullett, and Mr
Cumings, tux collector for Tucker -
smith, (brothers-in.-iau, by the way)
,:starrted out on their rounds on Mon-
Ady,`and happened to meet bycbance
at Clinton. The council of Hallett
last year decided to add five per cunt
to all taxes not paid in by a specified
time, and gave notice to that effect.
The result was that . all but a very
small fraction of tile taxes were paid
by the, apipointed. time.
4.11017L. —Miss M. Hine met
v.itl'an accident the other evening
that was very painful, and might
'i_::,jiave resulted seriously. Having
occasion to use a glycerine prepara-
tion on ber eyes, she took from a
;-cupboard what ahe supposed was the
)Might bottle, and did not discover un-
til she had applied it to her eyelids,
that she had got hold of a bottle of
%carbolic acid by mistake. As a re-
st* her eyes have been quite sore
since. Had she got any on her eyes,
u�
she might have lost her eight.
"ORANGE MATTERS.—A special
Meeting of the Orange Lodge was
'held on Wednesday evening to make
arrangemenents for the supper that
t0 be held on the evening of the
5th of Nov., it was also`decided fo
present Mr A. M. Todd, County
Master, with a silver tea service at
the same time, in recognition of hie
services in connection with the 12th
of July celebration. Mr Todd
graciously expressed his pleasure at
the contemplated present, stating
that he had not expected anything of
the kind and felt that he was ue-
Worthy of it. If the opinion of an
Outsider is worth anything in this
connection, we may say that Mr
Todd deserves well at the hands of
leis Orange brethern, a fact they evi-
'dently realize.
'yaw tM ,,MOVING TO GODERICH.—It was
generally expected when Mr Menzies
'became connected with the Goderich
'rganfactory, that bewould;ultimately
remove to that place, and we are

that a certain widower and widow of

mendable step to take in most cneee.
Mrs Tuffts, of Belgrave, was in town
on Tuesday. Mr Jae. Walker had
the misfortune to slip down and break
his arm the other day. Apples are
being loaded in to cars here as qufek-
ly as possible, and yet there are hun-
dreds of barrels stored at the freight
ehed awaiting shipment. To -night
is the time-honored, but muchabus-
ed occasion of Hallowe'en. This is a
little late in the season for coon hunt-
ing but it is said that on Sunday
night last, a certain person in the
southern limit of the town went out
shooting and succeeded in killing
two. Wild geese have already been
seen flying over town. On Tuesday
there was a considerable fall of snow
and hail, but it only remained long
enough to help moisten the roads.
Mr D. Dickinson conducted a sale on
the market square on Tuesday; the

but there was not much demand for

from Colborne, is in town undergoing
a surgical operation, which consists in
removing portions of his ribs; he is
said to be improving. Between three
and four thousand bushels of apples
were received at the Evaporator last
week; T. M. Carling is on the market
buying for this concern. Quite a
number of cases are expected to come
up at the sitting of the Diyision Cou

COLLEGIATE NOTES
At the annual games held at To-
ronto University, last week, Mr T.
Agnew, an ex -student of the Collegi-
ate Institute, carried off the palm for
throwing the shoulder stone. You
see physical as well as mental culture
attains its highest.
The teachers are holding a series of
examinations throughout all the
rooms this week in order to ascertain
to what degree pupils have been ap-
plying themselves stnce the beginning
of the term. So far they have al-
most invariably expressed themselves
well pleased.
The Collegiate- Model football club
is in splendid trim now for a contest,
but fail to find material on which to
practice their skill. Challenges were
sent to several of the neighboring
clubs all of which managed to invent
some paltry excuse. A friendly
match was played one day last week
on the Collegiate grounds between
the Model school and the Institute
boys, which resulted in a tie. The
club is anxious to hear from any
ambitious challengers.
THE PIONEERS, —The Mechanics
Institute Board is arranging a course
of entertainments for the coming

The old friends of Rev W. L. G.
Newton, now of Vittoria, will regret
to learn of the death of his second
child, aged about 9 mouths, which
occurred a few weeks since. Mr
Newton bas a nice charge at Vittoria,
his church being in a prosperous con-
dition, and hie labors much appre-
ciated by his people.
The sacramental services of Willis
Presbyterian church were held on
Sunday laet; the preparatory services
were conducted' on Friday evening
by Rev Mr Edge, and on Saturday
morning by Rev Mr Needham, of
Egmondville, who also preached on
Sunday evening. Mr Needham is
only a young man, but he is a clever
one, and his sertnons were listened to
with pleasure.
The annual meeting of the Bible
Society was held in the Episcopal
school house on Tuesday evening, an
excellent address being given by the
n' Simpson, of Brucefield. The
attendance was not very large; in fact
for some years the attendance fit this
meeting has been lamentably small,
whether the reason is because people
have too many meetings to attend, or
lack interest, we cannot say.

ing of the Presbytery of Huron was
