LAMBS.—No.v is the time that sheep breedereahould give attention to the male members of their flock which they intend to dispose of as contributants to the tables of flesh eating connoiaeure. All lambs in tended for flesher's use should bo emasculated at once. Thi is in the interest of the breeder as well as of the buyer, the dealer and consumer. They will weigh better in the fall by having them attended to in this way ; the buyers will give more for them, and they in turn 'will get more from flashers for early emascu- lated lambs than if they are allowed to remain in their natural state during the summer. THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE.— One day last week a rather amusing sight was witnessed by a select nutuber of spectators. The after- noon being bright and balmy onn of "the people," with spring shoes and an air of nonchalance, saunter- ed leisurely down Rattenbury aveuue. Whether suddenly afflict ed with faintness, confused sight, or what, cannot be told, but he soon found himself level with the dust. His fall was as sudden as it was sad, but he had the sympathies of all observers. With becoming haste he regained his equilibrium and after collecting his wandering chattels retreated to some quiet nook to smooth his rt'fflod feelings and muse upon the ups and downs of life.—Coni. CATTLE SHIPMENTS.—In Common with other portions of the Province, and all parts of the United States, the movement of cattle towards the centres of population in this and other countries is particularly brisk just now.

This considerable sum of money went to men in Clinton and within ten miles of it. Mesere Fair and Forrester had the weight- iest cattle, one of Mr. Forrester's steers weighing 1800 lbs, and another 1760 lbs., one of Mr. Fair's weighing 1740.

Ex•MAYOR WHITEHEAD has had erected on a prominent place on his lawn a lofty and, if one eyes can judge exactly, a perpendicular flag- pole and has procured a flag worthy of the surroundings and the pro- prietor. The time is opportune in 'view of Her Majesty's approaching birthday. More of our townsmen should remember that _we have a pational flag and that it should wave on "every national occaesion when, with or even without music or gala days, its breezy folds shall tell the nations of the earth that we are a free and loyal people.

The funeral last Friday was very largely attended. The whole family are widely known and highly respected, and they have the sym- pathy of an army of friends. Tam non•melodioue patter of the stick on the stovepipe, and the pet- ulant flapping of the white wash brush are heard throughout the land. It comes but once a year but that's often enough. Fellow citizens., we know what it is, our heartfelt sympathy ie extended Le you. Nile. Mr. and Mrs. Fear, oft, Brussels, have been spending a fav days at the parsonage with their son, the Rev. Mr. Fear. Mrs. Cole, from Michigan, is at her brother iu-law's, Mr. R. Mc- Ilwain's, coming over on account of the death of her sister. There was quite a number from Goderioh township and Clinton attended the funeral of their friend, Mre. Mellwain, on Thursday last. As Samuel Sheppard was engag- ed doing some work for Mr. Fear on Tuesday of last week he had his team attached to a Mone boat which he was usiug. The team became frightened and without calling "all on board" they started for the road,but Samuel got hold of one line and though overboard and off hie feet he followed the boat behind the team for about 60 rods going over the top of shade trees and other obstruc- tions by the way, but being unable to stop the speed of - the team he decided to let them go. •They only ran about three quarters of a mile when one of them got tangled in the traces and was thrown on the road, when they were caught. Samuel will have to get his Mrs. home aa his shirts and pants were badly torn, yet we are glad he came off so safe. It is with regret that we have to chronicle the sad news of the death of Mrs. Robert Mellwain, who passed quietly away to her reward on Tuesday, the 12th inst. She had been ailing for about 10 weeks, but good hopes for her recovery were always entertained. She was a member of the Nile Methodist Church and was always ready to..--.. help in all good works and we be- lieve she has passed on to reap the reward of the faithful. The funeral took place on Thursday thest4th. The funeral sermon was preached in the church at 2 o'clock p. m. by the Rev. Mr. Fear, taking for his text the 4th of Hebrews and 9th verse. There remaineth therefore,a rest for the people of God. After the sermon the remains were taken to Dungannon cemetery, followed by over 100 vehicles, showing the respect in which the deceased was held in the neighbourhood. Mr. Mollwain and family have the heart- felt sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement. Goderich Township. The friends of Mrs. J. G.
