Swartz, Wingham, are match- ed to trot over Brussels track, for $150 a side, on June 29th, 1893. DUMPED OUT.—The other evening, as Mr W. Grigg, who is employed at Ball's, on the base line, was on his way home, the sudden jolt of the cutter in a pitch -hole, at the head of Albert street, threw him out of the rig, to- gether with the robes, a double-bar- relled gun, and other articles. He left the articles by the roadside in looking after the horse, and they were carried in by Mr John Govett.

FOUND AT LAST.—Early in the fall Mr Arthur Couch had the n"ortune to lose a pocket book containing over $100; he advertised his loss, and felt keenly •dis,appointed because he could not get, the slightest trace of. the book or Iubney. The other day, while his reman, Mr Sellars, was at work on farm, he found the book among The manfirre`Iiewms'tnriiiii over.—" IE was pretty well saturated, but with the exception of one or two bills, the money was perfectly good. Mr Couch now supposes that he must have drop- ped the book in his own stable,and get- ting lost among the lose straw, was eventually hauled out to the farm. THE MONTHLY FAIR.—NextWednes- day, April 5th, the second stock fair. will be held here, and the farmers who have either horses or horned stock for sale should bring it in. A number of buyers are expected to be here, and as there is no cost or expense whatever to the farmer, the opportunity to place his stock before a number of buyers at once, is one that should be embraced, Sales of this nature have beenlof much beneflt and a great success in other counties, and they can be made the same here if all parties will only help the movement along. A couple of auctioneers offer their services free on that day, to parties who wish to use them. Remember the date,—Wednes- day, April 5th. DEATH OF HENRY RAxSFoBD.—We have to announce the death of Henry Ransford, of Brighton, Sussex, Eng- land, which took place on Tuesday, 28th inst. The deceased was one of the early pioneers of the Huron tract. He came out here in 1832, and lived for a few years in the residence at present occupied by his son, John Ransford. He then removed to Goderich, at which place he lived until the year 1646, when he returned to England, where he has ever since resided. While resident in this country he filled the office of treas- urer of Huron county. He was a man of exceptional powers of mind and body, retaining his mental faculties in a remarkable degree to the very last. His remains will be interred in the family vault in the Extra Mural Ceme- tery, Brighton, on•Saturday, April 1st. THE SICK LIST.—On Sunday morning while attending service at Ontario St. church, Mr Jeptha Holland was taken seriously ill, and had to be carried down into the basement, where he re- mained for a considerable time before he recovered consciousness.

It will be a considerable time, in any event, before the business of the Bell Tele- phone Co. is affected by the other. TRIFLES.—One quarter of 1893 is gone.
