THE NEW HURON COUNTY MAP—
We have seen a proof of the new map
of the county that is being got up by
Cooper & Co, and can testify to the
excellence thereof. It will be a little
while yet before the map is ready for
public sale. The designer and artist,
Mr A E Week's, has certainly done
the work well.
ROUGH ORrCRETINQ,—A game of
cricket was played between some of
"the boys" on Monday evening last,
that was amus*ng to some and pain -
ful to others. 'Mr Corbett sat away
over by the fence, quietly watching
the amusement, -when a live ball
caught him a tremendous thump on
the cheek, and as a result thereof he
carries a face that makes him look
as if he had passed through a pugi-
listic encounter, while everybody
knows he is one of the most peaceful
oi'men. Joe Wheatley was playing
in the game, and had taken pains to
peotect himself wherever he thought
a stray ball might strike, but there
was one spot he had overlooked, and
a ball found it, much to the amuse-
ment of the onlookers, even though
it was really a painful blow. While
he was standing proudly erect in a
most dignified attitude, a hot ball
bit him fair on the nose. The blood
spurted in a stream, while the epec-
tators roared at him getting hit after
rta+lring precautions not to,
BETTY STIFF SMELL —The other
d y in a certain section of the town,
esidents encountered en odor that
/(was stifl enough to be cut in chunks,
l and compelled them to close doors
and windows to expel it. Instantly,
complaints began to float about the
neighborhood: this man's pig -pen was
to blame for the smell; thatman's
chickens were the cause; and some
else's cow bore the blame. The
health inspector happened, by chance,
so he claims, to come along, and a
slight whiff of something stronger
than musk, nearly threw him on his
back. When he bad recovered from
' the sheet he determined to find out
"what it all meant" anyhow. In-
vestigation revealed the fact that the
cause was one that could not be re-
moved; it was one for which there
was no redress, and however unpleas-
ant the result there was no alterna-
tive but to "smell and bear it." A
certain enterprising farmer not far
away was simply doing what all
farmers should do, in fact his action
was a commendable, though unpleas-
ant one. He was enriching his land
by- use of artificial fertilizers—in
other words he was spreading manure.
Norns.--Raspberries have been a
very abundant crop this season;
plums come next and will be like-
wise heavy. The weather during
the past week has been magnificent
for harvesting operations. Private
picnics and camping parties are the
order of the day. Schools will short-
ly commence their sesssions again.
Thos Couch will return to college in
October, but will supply for a month

ing next Monday night, Mr J W
Hill, who represents Harlin Son &
no, has disposed of several binders
this Season, and they are all said to
work satisfactorily. Mrs John Miller
leaves in a few days on a visit to rel-
atives on the other side. This is a
good time for delinquent aubseribors
to wipe out their indebtedness. Blcy-

The garden social last Thursday
evening, under the auspices of the

Grigg House at London, gathered in
the lecture -room of the Young Men's

China. That Providence ,nay still

SUDDEN DEAT1L—No more highly
esteemed person resided in this local-
ity than Mr James Brown, of the
Huron road, Hullett, jest outside of
the town, and the announcement of
his:death on Wednesday evening was
a painful surprise to everybody. He
had apparently been In his usual
health, during the day, having been
at his ordinary work, but in the
evening complained of feeling weak,
and retired early. He had not been
in bed long when the other members
of the household yet up heard him
groan, and went in to see him, but be-
fore any relief could be given he
passed away. He was a man of fine
physique, and for his years, 77, won-
derfully active, having :ad good
health and taken care of n 'itself all
his life. He was born iu 1,1e north

years in the States, took lip his resi-
dence on the lot on whir h he died, in
the year 1853. He was a man of
sterling integrity and honor, and en-
joyed the highest esteem and confid-
enceof all, .ie was a member of
the Society of Brethern ; his wife,
two daughters and four sorts survive
him. The funeral takes place at
2:30 p m, on Saturday.
