FORTUNE hail a veryun- pleasant meeting with mis-fortune on Thursday morning last. He had, just entered the driving shed when the tongue of a sleigh which had been supported, but net securely, fell, striking him ou the head mak - ing a not Rr-(ions but very painful incision. APPLES VS. ALCOHOL.—Dr. Trip- plett (in Med. Bull.) calls the atten- tion of the profession to the fact that he first noticed that those who were habitual drinkets of alcoholic liquors very seldom Rte apples. Ile found tbet a diet composed largely of good, ripe apples, of the tartish variety, greatly diminished the desire for the accustomed stimulant. He insists when treating dip- somaniacs, that apples shall be taken with meals and between the meal hours, and finds that whore it is kept up the desire for alcoholic stimulants soon becomes nil. }[e has used strychnine and other vaunted remedies, but has had more satisfaction, and much a Jre brilli ant results, from the apple diet than from any remedy in the materia medica, Fort SINGERS.—The Canada Health Journal says people of meat or fish eating habits never have fine voices. The most fish -eating Ital• lane, those of Naples and Genoa, have not often ,among them sweet singers, the most meat -eating pert of Great Britain—England--ie also a voiceless country. Though the singing is so fearful in the Scotch kirks, my friend found some divine songsters south of the Grampians, and a greater number in the .High• lands. IIe often heard common Irish women "lilt" and sing like nightingales, but never in the towns. -Sweden was a country of song, be- cause a country of of graite. Nor- way was not. Too much fish was eaten there. Vocal capacity dis- appeared in musical families who got roll. They ate too much (neat. The vocal birds are eaters of grain, fruit, and vegetables. No Carnivor- ous one.could ever sing a song. THE'3aRD BATTALION GOING TO CAMP.—There was a meeting of the officers of the 33rd Battalion at -the Rattenbury house -last Wednesday. Every company was fully represent- ed. Ths resignation of Lieut.—Col. Coleman,, through, continued ill - health, was accepted with regret, and a resolution of sympathy to him unanimously carried. He has been made an honorary member of the officers' mess. Major A. J. Wilson succeeds Col,Coleman and will make an efficient officer. The vacancies thus created will be filled according to seniority—Capts. Crockett and Varcoe, senior and junior Majors respectively, and Lieut. Wilson, adjutant. Lieuts. Young and Holmes will succeed Captns. Varcoe end Crockett. The necessary 'com- mittees were appointed and arrange- ments rna.de for the annual camp t ext June. The place is not yet mown, but the citizens of Windsor aro molting in the matter, and it is possible they may succeed in havidg the tented field there in June next; 0 Miss Siei: B. MQ itoN, who has been on a visit iu town, left on Saturday for her house in New Yolk. MRs. STOREY, of G.oderich, who was visiting friends in Turnberry for a few weeks, on her return home remained over for a short time iu Clinton.

MCLEAN, the old time popular cattle buyer, was iu town one day lust week, We wore glad to see the gentleman, though sorry to learn that he has not recovered his old time robustness. A POINTER.—In consequence of W. R. Davis, of Mitchell, being a high school trustee he had to re- sign as town councillor, and a new election has been ordered. This is in accordance with recant legisla- tion which not many aro aware of. WE were much pleased on Fri- day to have a call from Miss Annie Foster, of Stanley, wh 1 had just returned from a visit of several weeks to her slater at Grau•i Rapids, Mich. We incline to the opinion that the young lady is 001 an annexationist. WILL TAKE HIS CHANCE.—Some time ago one J. C. Hefferon was commited to Goderich gaol on a charge of stealing cattle. While in Goderich he escaped from the con- stable. The other day Hefferon gave himself up and was remanded to goal to stand his trial. IT'S YOUREX ALL RIUHT.—Mr. C. M.

Detective Rogers and he will leave with Yourex in charge, so soon as the necessary papers can bo made out. • FALSE PRETENCES.—J. G. Scott appeared at the Woodstock police court on Saturday, charged with obtaining a suit of clothes from Sim Fax under false pretences. The evidence wont to show that Scott, on ordering the clothes, promised to' pay spot cash, but when the clothes were made he did not have the money and so gave hie note. The note was endorsed by a man who, the defendant said, was worth considerable [Honey, but who, it transpired, was not worth as touch am represented, and it was for obtaining the goods in this manner that the defendant was ingested. Hix -Worship decided to commit him fur trial. g PATRONIZING. OUTSIDERS.—The following pertinent remarks from the Woodstock Standard are equal- ly applicable to other places and in other lines besides printing :—This town is often overrun by travellers for office supplies in the line of letter heads, envelops, bill heads, etc. It is time these London and Toronto leeches were stamped out and It ill becomes any citizen to petrohizo a foreign institution and one which does little but sap the life and trade of the surrounding cities. As a matter of fact these very goods can be bought in Wood- stock as cheap if not cheaper than in London or Toronto. The man who would patronize a foreign institution in preference to one at now for the sake of getting a big name on tho hanger of his coat is not fit to bo a citizen, and should be held up to public contempt, and patronage v.ithheld from him by the citizens, THE Poole Docs.—On the first day of January last, the new law respecting doge came into force. Under this law there is an annual tax of one dollar on each dog and two dollars ou each bitch in every municipality in Ontario, but the law provides that should twenty-five ratepayers petition the conncil of their municipality, the council may pass a by-law that the said tax or any part of it shall not be levied in said municipality. Should such bylaw not be passed then the collection of the tax is compulsory on the municipality. The law is also made more clear as to the ownership of dogs, any person having a dog in his possession being responsible for it. In addition to a person being justified in killing adog while in pursuit of sheep, a person may kill any dog he finds on his farm where sheer are kept, between sunset and sunrise, provided such dog dons not belong to some one whose lands adjoin his lands, or the dog securely muzzled, or when the dog is accompanied by some person owning or having charge of it. It will be the duty of the assessors to take t},e number of dogs owned or in the possession of each ratepayer and if any incorrect information is given the party offending is liable to a penalty of five dollars. v ^ SLEY & CO.

Our last meeting previous to that was over thirty years ago when Mr. taunter was reeve of the town- ship of Huron inUnited counties of Huron and Bruce.
