RATER Goon NaTun,En.-Thebe;,
ginning of -last- week a Colborne farm-
er called upon a brother farmer near
Holmesville, and said he had lost a
spring calf, and would like to know if
he had seen anything of it. No. 2 said
there had been one on the side of the
road in front of the place, and if it was
his he would help him home with it,
.which he accordingly did. Severaldays
after when No. 2 was looking among
his cattle, found that one calf was miss-
ing. Ile suddenly thought that he
might have given farmer No. 1 the
wrong calf, and on going to see, found
that it was the case. Of course he took
the old plan and trotted it home on his
back rejoicing.

old tramps seem to have taken quite a
notion to this neighborhood, having
called on several persons this last week.
On Tuesday evening as H. Elford's
hired man Aleck, was coming in from
doing the night chores, he was set up-
on by two seedy looking individuals,
Who would no doubt have made bad
work of him had it not been for the
help of a rail and one of the boys, who
happened along just in time to see the
squabble. Aleck fought well, and was
lucky enough to knock the face off the
big fellow, but says they may expect
more the next time, so they had better
keep clear if they know when they are
well off.

returning,'and on Saturday Mr Walters
passed away at the age, of 88 years; his
?wife did not survive -him long, suc-
cumbing to her ailment on Wednesday
afternoon. Mr Walters had resided in
the township since 1887, living tor a
time on the London road, and then
buying the lot on the 2nd con. on
which he has since resided. He was a
native of Devonshire, and was one of
best neighbors and friends, being open-
hearted and generous to a degree. Mrs
Walters was also a native of Devon-
shire, a true wife and mother, and con-
tributed in no small degree to her
husband's success and prosperity.
They were a jovial, genial couple, and
their loss will be generally regretted.
One son, living on the homestead, and
five daughters, all married, survive
them. The remains were interred in
Turner's cemetery, to which church
they belonged, -
(Intended for last week.)

is grown to a email extent here this
year, and appears to be a goop crop; a
few years ago it was a common crop,
but as it was sown a, year or two and
roved to be a failure, people lost con-
fdence in it and ceased to sow it.

for 35 years, a great many oe which he
was engaged-eir- business, havingacar-'
rid on a general store and in that way
acquiring a competency; he was also
first post master in the village, and oc-
cupied that position till he sold hie
store ten years ago. He was a Man of
quiet and retiring disposition, and en-
joyed the good -will and respect of his
acquaintances. He was a member of
the Methodist church, had been for
years a J stice of the Peace and was a.
Liberal fr politics. He has no family,
and his wife survives him. His re-
mains were interred in the Varna cern-
etery on Monday last, and the large
number that attended the funeral
showed the respect that he was held in
the community. The bereaved widow
has the sincere sympathy of the com-
munity in this, the hour of her sad be-
reavement.
