fair. Mise Dunn is a Deice of Mr P.

arerex-
petted here on their wedding tour.
CATTLE MATTERS,—Mr D. A. Forres-
ter shipped this week 60 head of prime
cs,ttle to the old country, him self and
son accompanying them there. It will
be remembered that Mr Forrester made
the experiment of tying up a certain
number of cattle and allowing a similar
number to run at large, to see which
would do the best, feeding them all
alike: The experiment has proven very
clearlythat the animals which Were
stall-fd are in the best condition.
CRICKET-TENNIS,—A well attended
meeting of the cricket -tennis club was
held in the Rattenbury House on Tues-
day evening last. After the routine
business had been transacted, the sin-
cere thanks ot the members of the club
was tendered the concert committee,
Messrs T. Jackson, jr,, A. T. Cooper
and F. R. Hodgens, further that this
club do hereby elect MrT. Jackson, jr., •
to a life membership in the same, as a
slight recognition of his indefatigable
_efforts in directing - and --bringing eh
concert to its most successful issue.
\ ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.—On There -
'okay while Mr Wheatley was weighing
some cattle at the station, a dispute
arose as to the correctness of the scales
one farmer claimingthat,they did not
weigb correctly.' MWheatley demon-
strated beyond all question that the
scales were correct, and as a further
proof ,of the weight, as given by him
being correct, the cattle were taken
-up to the market square scales, by the
farmer himself, at Mr Wheatle y s ex-
pense, and weighed by Mr Welsh,
when it was found the animals were
15 lbs less than when when weighed at
the station.

THE UNDERWRITERS.—It was men-
. tioned last week that the Underwriters'
Association of Ontario want certain
improvements to the fire appliances,
in order that the town may remain in
its present class for insurance purposes.
The same association is asking similar
improvements at Seaforth, (and very
likely in othertowns). There has been
considerable correspondence over the
matter here, and what makes the affair
seem very arbitrary, is the fact that
they place little or no importance
on the hydrant system adopted in con-
nection with Fair's mill, while every
one in town knows that it is a very
valuable adjunct to the fire appliances
—in fact it has already rendered ines-
e
ask forhere is of no earthly use what-
ever. It s likely that the, subject will
be ventila d at a meeting of business
'nen.
HOUSE OF REFUGE.—The favorable
weather has allowed considerable pro-
gress to be made on the County House
of Refuge, and the site presents a busy
scene. The masonry Gnaw basement
walls and the foundation of the large
chimney is built and sills and windows
M eset. Mr T. Walker completed this
' work in a satisfactory manner on Mon-
day. The bricklayers, Messrs Hey-
od start on
Satu�rday at the and rbr made
walls oin cellar,of
which titers are about 600 running feet
tO build. Window and door frames,
jointing, etc., are all on the ground and
Contractor S. S. Cooper and staff are
on the run to keep up with other trades.
`1`he'daily average of rnen employed on
the works has been twelve, and will in-
crease as different trades are commen-
ced. Mr Miller has erected the winel,
fill, which is doing good work, and
the well holds out remarkably well,
Contractor McBeth has drawn some of
the barn timbers and sommenced the
,.excavation of thebasement. Architect
jtlg, A. Fowler has so far had charge of
thhe s't'orks, but expects Henry A. Fow-
ler, now on his way from Manchester,

the death of hie father. Mr Forrester
has since withdrawn from the contest,
and Mr Canteiloh will, therefore, be de,
clared duly elected by the Returning
Officer.
G41nn PREeEItVE.--Messrs John Mc-
Murray, G.Hirrohle�*, L. Kennedy, E.
Oantelonand J. E. BlaCkall have leased
for a term. of years, what is known as
Murch's swamp, God'erich 'township,
and intend to convert -it into h game
preserve. It will be - stocked with
prairie chickens and, other like fowl,
and trout, and in time should become
a valuable preserve, Where there is
such general destruction of game as
there is in this county, it is a wonder
that something of this nature has not
been undertaken before; in fact it would
be a prudent. thing to utilize unprofit-
able swamp land in this way elsewhere.
Notices have been placed on the Bridge-
water preserve, cautioning intruders
against trespassing thereon, and it is
the intention of the lesees to rigidly
enforce their privileges in this respect.
ON SAD ERRANDS,—The following
persons were here this week, owing to
the death and burial of Mrs Fred Jack-
son: Mr and Mrs Dep of Wards-
ville, parents of deceased; Mrs McGuire

Davis, North Bay; Mr and Mrs Baulch
and Bert Davis, Woodstock; R. Jack-
son and wife, Mitchell, W. French and
Mrs T. French, Logan, Miss S' Davis,
Goderich, and Mr Wm Pay, St. Ca-

and W. Coats and wife were called to
Fingal, owing to the death of Mr D.
Macpherson, sr. Mr John Fisher was
called to St. Marys by the death of a
nephew, aged 15.
LEFT HOME,—A couple of weeks
since it was found that Master Garnet
Whitely, son ot Mr W. T. Whitely, of
the Customs, was not attending school,
and sooner than do so, he undertook to
strike out in the world and make his
own fortune. As he is only about 14
years of age, and was not fitted out
specially for the purpose of battling
with this stern world, his parents are
naturally anxious to learn of hiswhere-
abouts. When he left home he had a
few cents in his pocket. which went for
bread and cake before leaving town.
He walked from here to the vicinity of
Centralia, and there secured a couple
of days' employment with a Mr Bald-
win, Limerick Road, McGillivray, and
was there on the 23rd of May, but left
there ostensibly for London, since
which time no trace of him has been
discovered. Mr Whitely was able to
follow him this far, but has no further
information of his whereabouts. He
is travelling under the name of Hugh
Vanderbilt.

gans was shipped via New York to a
