James Steep informs us that there is no honey at this year. In fact most of the bee men are already feeding sugar to their bees, owing to the summer drought. The only honey on the market is old honey. TRIFLES,—Toiling ceaselessly : The farmer throws aside the reaping hook ' only to take up the plough handles. Dwellings are being enquil°ed for on d -all sides by prcspective residents; the present supply is Inadequate. He who ll:teepeth his eye on the advertisements that grace the columns of the local press often espieth goods that save dollars to his pocket and bring comfort to his home. SEND IN THE ITEMS.—The editors of newspapers are often blamed for par- tialityin their notices of churches, so- cieties and families, when the fact is the parties most interested are the ones to blame. The newspaper doesn't possess a sufficient, forceof re- porters to send to every church service in the range of circulation, and it must needs depend on some person te send in the news. Many pastors or elders eeeef the congregation do this, and their genes are.gladly printed, but the paper is found fault with by other churches 'who neglect to send in their notices, and the charge of partiality is made. The editor may belong to one or two of the many societies in town and na- turally hears all the news in reference to his particular organizations, while the other societies, by keeping their items to themselves, miss the little mentions they would gladly receive. • Crisp County _Clippings We are sorry to learn that Mrs Robt. taibson, of McKillop, is seriously ill. We hope she will soon be around again. Mr James Dalgarno, E. Wawanosh, has been seriously ill for some time with inflammation of the bowels and bladder. '`; At a meeting of the shareholders of -e Union Furniture Company, Wing - ham, th g ham, held on Monday, it as decided to rebuild the factory at once. Rev. Geo. McKinley, formerly junior Methodist pastor, Hensel], was recent- ly married to a fine young Toronto lady, with great eclat. The barn of Samuel Dunn, of the 13th con. of Grey, and all the season's crop, was destroyed by fire, from lightning. A_brood mare and colt belonging to Mr Robt. Wilson, Seaforth, were kill- ed by lightning during the storm on Tuesday night. while in the pasture field. Mr James Lennan had two bf ,l,Sere killed by lightning during else storm on Tuesday night. The horses were Sasturing on Mr Lenntee's farm near eaforth. �•- ' iss aWM"s, -who has been in Mr E. McFaul's dry goods store, Seaforth, for a few years past, leaves shortly for Winnipeg, where she has a good situa- tion. Mr S. Dickson, postmaster, Seaforth, has rented his 200 acre farm in Grey, near Brussels, to a gentleman in Mor- ris, for five years, at an annual rental of $450. It is one of the best farms in the county. Mr Thos. Stephens, Seaforth, had a valuable blood colt killed by lightning on Wednesday morning. It was in the pasture field. It was coming three, and Mr Stephens valued it at $200. Mr Paul Madge, of Usborne town- ship, the wind mill king, has sold 25 autometer[wind mills during the past two weeks in that section. This speaks highly of the value the wind mill is to the farmer as a labor saver. Mr David Clark has disposed of his farm near Kippen to Mr Logan for $5,200. Mr Clark was in Hensall look- ing for a site on which to build and will erect a new residence at once. On Tuesday while climbing over a fence, Mr Robt. Essery, of Crediton, fell to the ground, and striking his arm on a piece of broken crockery, severed the main arteries of his wrist. The wound is a dangerous one. The wild man in the woods in Step- hen township, who has created much disturbance among ,the community during the past few months, is an es- caped lunatic and the asylum authori- ties are after him. Miss Gilgan, who resides in the neighborhood of Chiselhurst, and near- ly five miles from Hensall, has given a contract for the moving of her dwell- ing into Hensal]. Mr Charles Gray, nephew of Mayor Gray, Seaforth, has gone to Detroit, Lwhere he will take up the study of dentistry. He will be much missed, especially in the Methodist church and Sunday school, where he was an active and valued worker. Mr Wm. McDougall, of Tuckersmith, near Kippen,who recently sold his fine ia"rm to Mr Thos. Forsyth, teacher, last week purchased a•neat new dwell- ing from Mr Robert Bell, jr., and in- tends moving into Hensall this winter. Miss Monteith, of the Lyndon road, Tuckersmith, who has taughtin the Hatlock school in Hullett very success- fully for several years, declines re-en- gagement, much to the tegret, of the people of the section, with whom she is a universal favorite. ., Messrs Button & Fessant,, Wingham, closed down their chair factory on Monday. They expect to be closed for about three weeks, during which time they will put in a new and larger en- gine and boiler. Death has removed another old resi- dent, in the pert In of Mr Thomas Pol- lard, who died on Sunday; After a pro- longed and painful illness, at the age at f 80 years and 7 months. He was a former resident of IJsbornh, and moved tei Exeter several years ago, and has `made that place his borne ever since. Children. Cryfoti Mr ),rank Woods has been engaged to teach in school section No- 7, near. Chiselhurst, for the corning year. Mr Woods has taught in, this section for the past three years, and is well worthy of the high esteem in which he fa held as a school teacher. Wiggins' storm, Wednesday morn- ing, did considerable damage in the neighborhood of Exeter. The barn and outbuildings of J. Gilbert, 10th McGillivray, burned; the barn•,and out- buildings of R. Ryan, 18th con. Step- hen, also destroyed by lightning. Cold in Head—Nasal Balm gives instant relief; speedily cures. Never fails. In answer to a petitiop presented for the release of the young man John Jardine, convicted some time ago of an attempt at rape, in Saltford, the Deputy Governor has replied that he does not consider the case one for exe- cutive interference. Mr John Gill, Exeter, took in his po- tato crop last week, and if his is a sample of the potato crop in general, we are safe in saying the tubers will fully compensate for the scarcity of fruit in this section. Out of a piece of land about 80 feet souare Mr Gill has taken over 22 bushels. This is the earliest and best crop we have heard of in this vicinity. The other day, as Mrs Davy, of Chiselhurst, was visiting her neighbor, Mrs T. Hicks, she had the misfortune to fall down the cellar and break her leg. When she went into the house the cellar hatch was opened, and as she did not notice it she walked right into it, with the above result. The trustees of Blake school have engaged a Mr McTaggart as teacher in place of Mr Ross, who retires next month, to enter on some other of the learned professions. He has taught here for a number of years very ac- ceptably and our best wishes go with him in his future career. Sunday morning, Mr Hugh Spack- man, Exeter, feeling unwell, sought relief in what he thought was salts, but which proved to be salt petre. He took two heaping teaspoonfuls before he discovered his error, and but for timely medical aid would have been a victim of accidental poisoning. He was very low for a few hours and for a time life was despaired of. Mr Thos. Pollard died at his resi- dence, Andrew St., Exeter, on the 15th inst., after an illness of a few months. Mr Pollard had been ill but two months, first of inflammation which was followed by general debility, and his sufferings were intense. He was of a quiet, unassuming disposition and was respected by a large circle of friends. He leaves to survive him a widow and three daughters. Some of the old residents of Wing - ham will remember Dr Wilson, a drug- gist, who died there in Sept. 1873. In 1872 Dr Wilson purchased a colt from old Mr Woods,now deceased. David Woods, son of the man who sold it to the druggist, has the colt yet, and al- though it is now 27 years of age it is doing its day's work on the farm like any ordinary young horse. The old nag is of French origin, and can eat its oats as well as any other horse. NEWS NOTES • . Mr Robt. Pete„ -;-fell off a bridge at Kingston and was drowned. Mr and Mrs John Reid were driving froru Parkhill to their home at Lieury, when their horse was struck by light- ning and killed. Mrs Alfred Butler, of London West, was choked to death by a window fall- ing upon her neck while she was try- ing to get into her house. The death is announced of Mr J.D. G. Findlay, of Montreal, who once discharged the late Mr Alex. Macken- zie from a job on the Lachine Canal. KARL'S CLOVER ROOT, the great blood purifier, gives freshness and clear- ness to the complexion and cures Consti- pation, 25 ots., 50 cte., $1. Sold by J. H. Combe, Clinton. The Wilson Farm,ust south of Woodstock, has been sold by Molspns Bank. Mr Alex. Innes, of Brookdale, West Zorra, was the buyer. Price paid is $11,000. The man who committed suicide at Fort Erie, Ont., on Tuesday night, has been identified as the youngest son of the Rev. Dr. Fessenden, rector of the English church at Ancaster. Mr Jas. L. Winters, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Lindsay, Ont., died Thursday. He was a promi- nent member of the Orange order, and a life-long supporter of the Conserva- tive party. While Constable Wright, of the Brockville police force, was in pursuit of several tramps who were suspected of robbing a grocery store in that city Thursday, he was seized by paralysis of the heart, and died instantly. Mr Wright, a farmer, about seventy years of age, living at Kingsford, Ont., was victimized out of $150 by a confid- ence man on Wednesday. It was the old story of putting money into a tin box, which was to remain in Mr Wright's possession while the sharper held the key. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a secret pre- paration. Any physican can have the for- mula on application. The secret of its success as a medicine lies in its extraordin- ary power to cleanse the blood of impurit- ies and cure the most deep-seated oases of blood -disease. The Hamilton Herald, speaking of the report of a November session, says:—"It is quite as likely that this may happen as that anything else may happen. Not one outside of the Gov- ernment knows what its intentions are, and it is extremely doubtful if the Government knows." The postofflce at Dnnfee, Ind., was robbed recently and the postmaster, G. M. Singer, was murdered. He was a widower. He lived alone over the office, and when found the body was hound hand and foot. The head was pcsunded to a pulp with a club. The midis i s gut shout $25. A very cad accident occurred in the home of Mr and Mrs A. W. Cre•ssnirtu, Norwich, on Tuesday, Their little danghter, Flossie, about, 17 months old, died from drinking carbolic acid. Between 2 and 3 o'clock the little girl awoke fr•uni her aficrnuoii natp, and feeling thirsty, the girl went down the cellar to ger her some milk, and unknown to her the child followed her and climbed up 10 a high shelf on which were several hottlee, grasped one centaining a small quantity of carbolic acid and drank it..

Under t � �� 1 e Mars and Stripes ,s (BY 'rig EDITOR) We have always asserted that no finer section of agricultural country oan bo found than exists in the province of Onta- rio—and we claim to have eeen pretty nearly every section of Ontario—but at the eieme time such an assertion would be ex- ceedingly injudioioue, if we were not in a position to prove it by comparison with other sections of country. In the few years we have spent on this earth, we have managed to see, in a cursory way, some sections of the American republic, and tbe observations made there have only confirm• ed and strengthened the assertion that made. During the past week we had the plea- sure of spending some time in the cities of Detroit and Cleveland, and also in the State of Ohio due east of Cleveland. This State is regarded as one of the finest in the Union, but the part that we happened to be in was exceedingly ,rough, and did not begin to compare with the county of Huron, although other portiene of it are said to be superior termini/ sections. It is a good dairying country, and is so used, but for mixed farming, as understood and prac- ticed here, is not at all adapted. The farms look very dirty; and a farmer here who allowed even pasture land to "run wild" es thie seems to have done, would be looked upon as a mighty poor farmer. The milk is taken into Cleveland by train, and milk stands are Been at almost every cross road. In driving through the country, the friends with whom we were visiting would say this farmer was worth so many thou- sand dollars, and the other worth so much, end conveyed the idea that the farmers in that portion of the State were all angsually well-to-do. Perhaps they are, but certainly their properties did not look like it. The houses and stables were good—all frame— but the farms did not show cultivation; they were rank with weeds, full of hills and hollows, and did not look to be worth $10 an acre. And we mentally asked our- selves this question scores of times, "If the American farmer, under apparently ad- verse circumstances, ' has made so much money, how comes it that many Canadian farmers, with seemingly better Fopportnni• ties, are not in mach more affluent circum- stances than they are." The farmers in that section seem to have escaped the visit of the lightning rod agent, or else were -proof against his persuasions. for we did not see a solitary lightning rod outside of the cities. It also looked singu- lar: to see them haul their well water with a bucket, when force and suction pumps are so cheap, and their wells usually so deep, In the matter of roads, also, Ontario is away ahead. Gravel or macadamized roads are not known outside of the cities, The highways are simply "mad roads," and, in general are very inferior at that. They are not graded up to the extent that ours are, and the wa.er does not, consequently, leave them as well. As some of the resi- dents said, "They're all right in dry wea- ther, but when it rains they're something terrible.", Our suburban stopping place was close by the side of a railroad, and there seemed to be more trains and paeeengers on Sun- day than any other day. We saw people carrying home their supply of groceries that day just the same as upon other days. But we will say that the two churches had good congregations, the people listened to good practical sermons, and ao far as one could judge, the people themselves were good, well-meaning people. They were certainly sociable and generous to a fault, and vied with one another in making the visit of "the Cannock" a pleasant one. At an ententainment given one evening during our sojourn there, we were asked to give an address, and especially to institute a comparison between Canada and the States on any matter we belt had impressed itself upon us. We told them that we re- garded Canada as mach the more moral of the two, because Sunday was almost rigidly observed here; because the saloon as they understood it, practically had no existence in Canada outside of the cities, and because the marriage tie was praotioally inviolable here. A minister present expressed sur- prise that we had evidently no divorces in Canada, and when informed thet such conld only be obtained on the ground of adultery, by sot of parliament,„at a heavy expense, asked if this did not Rotas a barrier to marriages. On being informed that it seemed to make no difference. but that the wiring people got married as quickly as they oonld get ready, he laughed, and ad- mitted that it was a preferrable state of affairs to the looseness existing in every State of the Union concerning the solemn obligation of marriage. Our hearers were loath to believe that the area of Canada was actually greater than that of the Unit- ed States. They did not see how such a thing could be possible, and hinted that we were "stuffing" them, but we were able to convince them of the correctness of our assertion. "Lady" or "Woman." The more advanced among the now wo- men are agitating for a reform to the use of the word "lady." According to them, the term is mrrisappliod nine times out of every ten that it is used. A lady is always a woman, but a woman is not as invari- abty a lady, so It is urged, and hence this raid on the misleading application of the term. The reformers will probably frown w!r•horingiy on the street car conductor, nevertheless, If he should say to one of them to hie oustomaryoutbursts of polite- ness: "This way, woman," or "This way, Mre. Wonsan." An Ottawa evening paper publishes a sensational dispatch from Toronto about the health of Sir Oliver Mowat, which it says is alarming, and will necessitate his early retirement. 'The latest letters received from the Prem- ier, rem-ier, who is in Scotland on a brief holi- day, is that he is in superb health. The report has thus no foundation. Dr. P. H. Bryce, secretary of the Provincial Hotted of Health, has re- ceived word from Essex county that Pince the opening of the school session diphtheria has broken out in the town- ships of North and South Gosfleld and in Colchester. So serious is tbe out- break that in one school section alone there are 25 cases, and 8 or 10 d'eaths have already occurred. SHILOH'S CURE is sold on a guaran- tee. It cures inoipient Consumption.

She 1s the working wo- man who has emancipated herself from some of tho anolent And false sentiments of society with a calmness that makes one gasp and laugli,admtro her common souse and wonder if this is what we are all com- ing to in the course of time. Now, the London servant mald ie about the hardest -worked domestlo in Europe, partioularly she who ministers to the needs of the boarding house and hotel in- habitants. Her hours aro long, her wages rarely over $8 a month and with no gas, furnace beat, dumb -waiters, stationary bath, and few carpot-sweepers in the houses where she serves, her labors are rather of the dray horse order. Yet, in spier) of it all, she is a cheerful, polite per- son, who is not troubled by the knowledge that the attractions of the oolonies every year wean away the bravest and bust of thelEnglleh men -servants, that the scarc- ity of sweethearts and husbands for the British maidens is beginning to alarm the students of sociology, and that Cupid has become a vulgar little banker in a place of a winged arrow -shooting god of love. When her day's work is over, or . er free afternoons come around And her thought's lightly tnrn to the joys of a stroll in the park, a 'bus ride, or a junket up the river in the natural wholesome re- creation of masculine society, she does not sit at her attic window and sulk in loneli- ness. She does her hair in a trine and frizzed bang, arrays herself 121 all the fas• olnating variety of incongruous color in which the woman of her class revels, and calling at the nearest barracks' hires a solider to take her on an airing.

Recognizing his own beauty,the attract ive grandeur of his swagger and the prem- ium put on hes coat and profession, Tom- my is sometimes apt to overestimate his value. But Mary Anne is a hard headed business woman, who, in sly defense, has fixed the rates she will offer and give. For the exclusive joy of her soldier's society she will pay eight or ten pence, otherwise Tommy can let out half his smites and his left arm to another housemaid at the usual six -penny rate, and every body is satisfied, but no crowding beyond this is allowed, and the use of his arm is an un- written law in her side of the bargain, the right elbow falling to the first applicant. When Mary Anne's social ambitions aro sustained by the plumpness of her pocket- book, she is apt to indulge herself in the extravagance of a petty officer's society, for.which she must pay the whole of a shilling an hour ami bear the cost of treats. Often enough, in spite of the sor- did arrangements, romance springs up In the turning of a sixpenny piece, and Tommy generously offers to bestow his beauty, society and half of his pay on Mary Anne, free of charge, if she will have the agreement ratified in some quiet Soho or Hammersmith church, where clergy- man's fees are not exorbitant. ROMANCE OF THE TELEGRAPH - Some of the Odd Diftoultiee Operatfnr Line. A good deal of romance hovers around the means by which the world's news is gathered. The peed and acouraey with which telegraph messages ale transmitted between tho uttermost parts of tate earth is marvellous when the conditions twder Which they are sometimes transmitted are considered. The Indo-European tele- graph line offers a good illustration. It runs from London to Lowestoft, on the east coast of Enlgand. It then dips ander the sea at Emden, on tfie German cosy% whence it passer thrr igb Germany to the Russian frontier. F om this point the wire passes by way of Warsaw, Rowno, Odessa, the Caucasus, the Tiflis, to Persia, end by the Tends to Teheran, the capital of the Shah's queer domain. There it joins the Indian Government line, which runs from tho Persian capital to Bnshtte on:the Persian gulf. Thence the wires run through Boloochistan, and complete tho route by connecting at Kurracbee, in northern India The operation of this im- mense stretch of line, passing through countries of such varying climates; and general characteristics, is obviously one of much difficulty. On the snow -swept steppes of Russia the wires aro sometimes snapped tike thread by the rapid flight of wild geese. The polos are out down and made into faro wood by the nomad tribes of the Caucasian districts, and cunning inn-keepors of Georgia seek to boom their post -horse trade by deliberately creating faults in the wires. In certain parts of the mountainous regions of Asia tho main- tenance of tho solitary lino involves no little personal risk and hardship to the staff hands. Communication is often ant off by avalanches in the mountain dis- tricts, and the work of repairing alter a snow -fall of five or six feet is no light matter. These mountain stations are pro- visioned with several months' supplies be- fore the winter sets in, as the staff will be in touch with the rest of the world by the wire only until spring weather opens out the passes. In these supplies are always Included a liberal allowance of books and games wherewith to relieve the monotony of the tedious winter -exile. VANQUISHED BY A COW. A Bicycler Loses yids wheel, bat Manages to Save Himself. Wheelman McAllister left Port Jervis for a ride to Stroudsburg, Pe. He had completed more than three-quartere of his journey without incident of any kind; he was riding leisurely toward Marshall 'e Creek, when ho came in eight of throe cows. In a few ebeonds ho had passed tho animals and was going along. He heard tho sound of hoofs behind him, and turn- ing around saw the interested cow coming after him at a Purim] ate. Tired with his long ride in the sun, ho whoelman could not spurt and the beast goon naught up to him. Getting alongside the biker she let fly with her log, smashing the front Wheel. She then tried to push the rider of his wheel, lacerating his leg in bad ; hapo. The man managed to break away And got to a place of safety, leaving the cow with the cahoot The animal tried 1 i vain to got the machine up with hor horns. After several ineffectual attorppts she gave a con- temptuous snort and ran off of er her com- pailions. It is. not generally known that at lust session of the Legislature an act was ppassed, which is now in force. provide that where the husband dies without a will with property `` I Wdrth'less than $1000 evorythiug•goes to his widow.
