This section was visited by a violent thunder storm on last Saturday night, the rain was accompanied with hail. • Mr. Findlay McIntosh has had a wind puinp erected for the purpose of watering stock and saving labor. Mr. George Grigg has been around introducing the new Wartrnan fence, having bought the patent right for eight townships. We believe the fence is a good one. Nile. Crowded out last week. It is almost wonderful how much the hay and grain crops. grew during the hot weather last week. We have now a fair prospect of a much better crop of hay than was a few week's ago expect- ed. The beautiful residence of Mr. John Bailie, situated about one and one-half miles from the Nile, was last Thursday destroyed by fire. How the fire origi- nated can only be conjectured as it had made such progress when, first seen that the occupants of the house could save nothing from the kitchen. Only part of the furniture of the other part of the house was saved: Fortun- ately the fire did not spread to any of the adjacent buildings.

Seaforth. The Orangemen of 793 have decided to\celehrate the coming 12th of July at the toren of Parkhill. They intended' conferring the Royal Arch Degree in the month of June, but on account of circumstances not being favorable it has been postponed until some future date when notice will he given. 793 meets on the first Monday in every month, visiting brethren always wel- come. Our town is full of amusements just now. There is a machine set up on a vacant lot on the Main street which attracts the attention of all. It is call- ed the merry-go-round. It is one of the neatest constructions that has struck this town. It is composed of a Targe wheel, fitted with hobby horses and seats, driven by steam, for the purpose of pleasure riding. It costs 'five cents a ride for five minutes. We understand they intend to visit Clinton and Goderich, before going north. Messrs. Clue/ and Bennet have just finished the erection of a large tank on the market square, which will be used for filling the street watering cart. Scott Bros., have bought the old electric light plant and have the masons at work building a new house for the purpose. This is expected to be one of the best plants in Upper Canada.

As for the broncho I mentioned some time ago, it still remains a broncho and can he proved by the man that brought it from Montana, and also by the man who bought it for a broncho. Now Mr. Editor 1 think it is my turn to give you a warning of a certain man in this neighborhood who is mak- ing a business of calling on some of the local papers and is making his brags to private individuals of how he is going to stop some of the correspon- dents. He failed to do it with the Gode- rich Star and Blyth Standard and now I suppose he has called on you. Take my advice and give such bluff a cold re- ception. Look out for map peddlers. It the person importuned doesn't suhscrihe promptly for the map, the canvasser requests hien to sign a certificate that the agent has visited his place, taken the statistics of his products, etc., and the certificate turns out to be an order for the imtp at a price far in excess of the value. a If any greenies are caught tri this section it will be the man who says they are too poor to take it paper. —Exeter Advocate. • Pay .atter ;day. the pettonotts malarital vaporsl freer tllicltete and herr lee, com., hitied: with the heat of • un`egaatcriel dtime,told eK.efl ultott ,se►ns.al` the hardy gailpra and nharines who hall' • pion Rent• from the sloop orrvar Treliton, to pro. teot a party of •eflgleeers away up in ktie 0094,4 country of Lowprsitiiqeot near the tuountains, in westerrt Afrioa, • Ina tent where the Illtu•luea were en. camped letey toed p.nte little jock lVon ton, the lteuteennfa nephew, za boy,uf I4, At with a.fever; and, olie morning, as he lily there, with burning cheerios and patched lips, ff viirion of big red chet't'ies, smooth eget round, kept ricin;; iu fancy before bis wistful eyes.

C 9 h. I I f tN "TH7 ORILLA-SUDDENLY RAISED ONE OP ITS SIO PAWS." glens and ravines of the mountains— and to bring some, as a pleasant rut•• prise, to the sufferer. Without mention - Mg his purpose to anyone lie left the canlp,being at present off duty, and sped on his way, Mr. Dale, a youthful ensign, noticing how hurriedly he plunged into the up- land thicket ahead, suspected that he MEANT TO DESERT. Entering the thicket he moved rapidly on. At last he caught sight of Worth down on the jungle, on the opposite side of a'deep ravine, which he had evident- ly reached by u roundabout direction through brambles and vines leading past the front of the chaser. Down where he was could bo seeu gleaming in profusion the small, red globes of tie cherry-like fruit lie had come to gather• for lits sick little comrade.' The ravine was evidently hundreds of feet in depth, the bottom bidden by the black shadows from the jungle on both sides. A few yards below Worth the chasm, which was about 18 feet wide, was crossed by u tree trunk—a mere sapling, eight inches thick—probably all that remained of a 'former bridge. The trunk was smooth, except within five feet of the end nearer the boy, where there was a clipped branch. This end was in a sort of long hollow, overhung by tough roots. The ensign cautiously descended on his aide of the ravine and watched Worth until he had filled a haversack: at his side with the "cherries," and was about to ascend, when he called out, sharply : "That fruit will make you a very poor meal, my boy, if you mean to de- sert 1" . The startled lad looked across the gorge, saw the ensign, and :answered, much hurt by the officer's suspicion : "I had no intention or deserting, sir. I came here after the fruit for •Jack Win ton." "Now, upon my word," said the en- sign, who was a good fellow at heart, "I believe vou, Worth, and I and sorry I made the mistake of suspecting you. Those *cherries' are just the thing for little Jack." Worth was going to respond, when be- hind and above him he fancied he heard a low, guttural voice. 'Turning and looking up, he saw two humau-like but fierce eyes shining amidst a thick,' dark screen of interlacing vines. "Who's there—a'Pongwe?" he inquir- ed, thinking one of the natives of the 1%ipongwe tribe had been watching him pick the fruit. There was no reply to his gnestion. But tete leafy bower rustled, uud now•, from out the dark screen, there rose an awful roar, that was echoed to the chasm's very depths. From among the concealing vines stopped forth a hideous mounter, which the boy at first thought was a chimpanzee, but wliiclr, front its black color and ferocious aspect, he con- cluded must be a gorilla. Nearly erect it stood, BEATING ITS BREAST WITH ITS HANDS. Being a greedy lover of fruit, it glared in a fierce, remonstrative way at the lad's full haversack, as if enraged at his having coupe to pluck the "cherries" it wanted for its own use: The animal, about 5 feet high, was covered with black hair, ;and very broad shoulders and enormous hands, while its stomach bulged as if ne.rrly filled to bursting with the "cherries" it had been eating, the red stain of which was all about its mouth. The diabolical face, with its great, flat nose and projecting open jaws, the latter disclosing two enormous hooked lower teeth and to row of smaller ones above as sharp as a saw, was thrust "slightly downward, showing the encir- cling edges of the hair on its head so dis- tinctly defined as to give it the grotesque appearance of wearing a big furry cap. It was plain that the brute meant to attack the boy. In fact, it suddenly raised one of tte big paws, and, with u rush,canie crashing toward him through the shrubbery. Unfortunately, lie had left his musket, thinking it would be in his way, near the edge of the ravine above. But his bayonet was by his side in its sheath. He drew the steel, and, flourishing it before him retreated toward the tree trunk that extended across the chasm. He had once heard a hunter say that the gorilla, unlike the common monkey, is not a very skillful climber. Neither would it, he thought, attempt, for the same reason, to follow him should he creep out on the horizontal sapling. But,ust as he got close to the tree, the ferocious brute, uttering a terrible roar. aimed a blow at hint with his uplifted paw. He held up his bayonet. It was dashed from his grasp, but not before the point had inflicted a wound on the monster's arm. So great was the strength of this hairy arm that that sin- gle blow trust have lacerated the boy's side had not the big paw fallen upon his cartridge box. The FORCE OF THE STROKE whirled him over upon his baclr, knock- ing him into the hollow in which rested the end of the tree trunk, He quickly .e�lli`a../iLLA, ptapltkti t>1n i if under• the.. tough roo4 ovethttrt iuhl; the hollow 'he Igot'lllat 4e4(0pg over, 1000 .4 at l4•rr ouuded firm, hippe4 f find peed. it I►gah►sG:..i s breast, all tllq titre. grow . fag all If wiU kkendQ4 pale and *lvratll,l ¶non, ufwing botlt'`lta IefG paw slid it4. teetht it'comwepced t4• teilu away the PeOteedng roots above • the •lads with the llrobleblentelitiopt of dealing hitt .t►� Ain isnag blow, It uttength Was au enor- mous that alts earth broke and flew iu all. 04'00400e as the animal ehogli, pull,, ee....at td biG" uG the roots, ' Wertht 'know. hug that these woullt soup give wa,Y, ex- pxcted to bo linens tor» to death by the lufurfat i4 Lethal,.'

It was a daring venture.

As he proceeded the narrow trunk sliquk with his weight. When he had reached its center it beut —oscillated, and one of his knees slid off the slippery surface. Ile felt himself going over. His distended eyes were turned downward toward the dark, yawning gulf beneath, into which he expected to fall herttllong, But the thuuglat now occurred to him ot throw- ing himself flat upon his breast along the sapltug and of hugging it with his amts. He did so, and the ACTION SAVED HIM. Cautiously then he regained his form- er position, end crept on. At length, he reached the clipped branch, within live feet of the end of the tree. The gorilla had nearly torn away all the roots that protected Worth. It seemed about to raise its left paw to deal hint a fatal blow. The young ofilcerel:new that lie had no time to lose. He clutched the stumped branch with his left h:uad,drew his pistol, and, uimuiii as well as his nosittoi would admit of, he fired. The bullet inflicted a flesh wound iu the monster's side. With a roar that shook the air to the chasm's very depths, ilio brute turned, saw its assailaut, and tlirew itself toward kiln, resting its big stout..ch ou the sapling. Up went its Mighty left paw and down it cane slanting toward the officer's head. Worth uttered a cry of dismay. He expected to see the eusigu killed and dashed from the tree's trunk into the black pit of the ravine, hundreds of feet below. It was a critical moment. Had Dale drawn his head 'back, the great paw would' still have reached him, have struck: his neck and sent him to his doom. But, instead of attempting, in his present cramped poSi• tion, aud backward movement, he threw his head and shoulders forward. Thus the big paw clove, with a whirring -sound, the empty air above hint, and, placing the muzzle of his pistol between the niotrster's eyes, he fired. The brute, as the bullet passed through its brain, slid away from the tree,t:len clawed wild. ly at the air trait both hands, uttering oue loud, human -like scream, and went whirling down iuto the black abyss of the ravine. The Ensign crept to land and helped Worth from the hollow.

A Man Sutnw for Divorce Because Iiia Wife is a Bleached Blonde. In the superior court of San Francisco there has been filed a complaint which brings up some points new to the law. The complaint, says The Argonaut, is in u suit for divorce which is pending be- tween John B. Russell and Eva B. Rus- sell. The grounds on which Mr. Russell desires his divorce are immerses. He itemizes cruelty, and one of his specifi- cations reads : "Bleached or tartifically colored hair is easily distinguished as such, and does not appear natural not• does it deceive any person, but it is perfectly patent and noticeably conspicuous. It is regarded by the majority of rigliethinkiug per- sons us an indication of a loose, dlssoiute and wanton disposition, and is regarded as, and commonly held to be, a practice never affected by modest; pure and re- spectable women." " After expressing this general view of the practice of women who bleach their hair, Mr. Russell takes up its particular npplicatiou to him, In Lis document he overs : "Mrs. Russell is a brunette naturally. Her hair is of a chestnut -brown color, which, in its norrucl state, is modest and becoming, and harmonizes with the natural color of her slain and eyes. Since we married she has. against my wishes and protests, and with intent to vex, annoy, exasperate and shame me, dyed her hair and changed its shade to a conspicuous and showy straw or canaryI color. As a consequence bf this artificial coloring she has been obliged to paint her face to secure an artificial complexion in keeping with the artifi- cial color of her hair. The combination has given her a giddy, fast and sporty appearance." This, Mr. Russell deposes, constitutes cruelty, inasmuch as the bleaching "greatly mortified, shamed and bundle ated ]tint, and caused him great and grievous mental suffering." Tho Fool and the King.

"Hold up 1" interrupted the drummer, "what's a boaconda,? I've heard of boa constrictors anti anacondas, but never , of a boaconda," "The boaconda," explained • the dreamy-yokedu man, pleasantly, "is a snake, unknown as yet to most natural- ists, and it is a cross between the unto conda and the boa, with this rework - able peculiarity, that it has two heads. Like. its congeners, however, its bite is not poisonous, uud it 1 swallows its victims. As I was •saying, I hail an adventure on one occasion with one of these monsters which I think I shall not soon forget. One morning I had gone into the forest witli a native to bout, and in the course of my rambles I saw a beautifully hued bird of the parrot fatuity, in a tree, and I shot it. The bird caught in the branches, aud my attendant having become eepniutted from me, I concluded to climb for the bird myself. When fluid reached the lower limbs with my puze, 1 eaw stretched Cu one of them, the largest•siz- ed boaconda, with its four wicked eyes watching me. The shock- of this sight was so great that I started violoutly,lust my balance and fell from the tree, light• iug full upon my back, with such force as to knock ate entirely senseless. Ilow long I remained in this condition I rho nut know, but wlien I recovered I roll tie if my legs were tixed ill a vise, and being unable to trove them I bec:uue convinced that I had injured nay spine and was paralyzed. After several in- effectual atte;ipts to move. I raised myself on toy elbow and looked down at my legs. You may imagine my surprise, nut to say horror, when lying close to my body, on &ewe log, I saw half of each head of that dreadful serpent. \Vhy I should only see turif, I could not explain to inysetf, and before I had time to iuVestigate I ha,i fainted. Tills was of short duration, aid present• ly I was myself uguiu and, , taking an- other look, I found the serpent still there. Then I began to understand, and in a minute more I knew that the reptile had attempted to • swallow nae, for on my bands aed face I could feel the slime with which these brutes anoint their victims before they begin to swats low them. Evidently, this one had not been very careful in its calculatious, or, possibly, had never attempted to swal- low a human being, for it was plain to be seen that each of its !leads had com- menced on each of ray legs, and when that much of me had been swallowed, the remainder could not very well be, for reasons not necessary to explain here. fu any event, that part which had been swallowed had stuck in the two tlu•oats, and while I was helpless, the snake was iu 110 better fix. Wheat to do was the question now, and having become somewhat a0C8510nted to my position. I was cool enough to think of 601110 way Of escape. While revolving various plans fu my Mind ley eyes wandered to one side, and there', wituiu reach, lay cry double-barreled gun with one Iliad in it. Tile next instant I had hold of it, and the next I had slipped in another cartridge and was ready fur war. 1 coulrjn't shoot the snake in tee bead, unless I shot ley legs r ff, but I celculatedethat its heart Must lie some- where near the point of juncture /if the necks, which was about three feet from the tip of the uo+e. Toward that point, then, I slowly slipped the gull, 811(1 a hen I had got it as far as I could, 1 shut my eyes, breathed a prayer and let both bar- rels go, It almost tore the great body of the snake asunder, and in. its death throes I was beaten around the bush in terrible fashion for a minute or two, until I was thrown out of reach. In half an hour I had recovered sufficiently r o walk, and I started back to the village,. with blood in uty eye, for that native at- tendant who had deserted me." • "Did you find him?" asked the drum- mer, anxiously. as the story -teller seem- ed about to stop at that puha. "Aird did you slut; hila?" "No," said the dreamy -voiced man. "Providence did that for me. I mean," lie said, correcting himself, "that Pro vidence took the matter out of my hands. , On nay way back to the village I noticed a Iluge anaconda asleep by the pathway and, as i wanted the skin of one, I drove ply knife through the head of the sleeping reptile and proceeded to denude it ot its integument. I observed, as I tought that it had swallowed a lamb and was sleeping off the effects of it, but what was my surprise when 1 cut lute it, to find within the body of the at- tendant who had accompanied me out to the forest in the morning."

A YELLOW CALLA LILY. Ten Plants Recently Sold at Auction for 02000, The white calla lily of our gardens is well known, still retaining the original natue of Calla, although botanists have in modern tinges removed it to another genus, which is called Richardalia. Calla will, however, long be its common name. It has been frequently hinted that there are species with other colors, which would soon conte into cultiva- tion ; but so far these have been mere rumors. It is now definitely known that there is a bright y elbow species, which hna been named by botanists Calla Elliottana. The one in cultivation, knows as Riclrardia maculate, has a slightly yellowish tint sometimes. Tne new oue is said to be a sitar yellow, and lids leaves spotted with white, senility to our common maculate.
