The Green Farm, on the 2nd con. of
Hibbert, was sold last week by auc-
tion, and wasurchased by Mr John

The farm contains 100 acres.
Mr Wm. Bradley, of Wingham, was
called to Harriston, last week, by the
death of his sister, Mrs Thos. Walker,
of that town. The deceased leaves a
husband and seven small children to
mourn their loss.
We regret to chronicle this week the
death of Miss Lottie L. Eacrett, second
eldest daughter of Mr Christopher
Eacrett, of near Sexsmith, which sad
event occurred at her father's resi-
dence, on Saturday last, after a linger-
ing illness of three years.
On Thursday of last week, James,
son of Mr Geo. Delgarno, of East Wa-
wanosh, died after an illness of about
two weeks, in his 29th year. The de-
ceased was an exemplary young man,
and at the time of hie death was an
elder in the Calvin Presbyterian
church.
Mr James Rankin met"With-air aeci--
dent in the Broadfoot & Box, furniture
factory, Seafortb, the other day. He
was working the joiner and got his
hand caught, with the result that the
third finger on his left hand was ta-
ken off, This makes the third acci-
dent to parties running this machine,
inside of two weeks.
We understand that Dr McInnis,
who has been practising at Mont Car-
mel, in the township of Stephen for
several years, has disposed of his prac-
tice there and intends locating in Sea -
forth. He has rented the residence of
Mr John Downey. The doctor is a
clever practitioner, a reliable ycung
man ;and will be a valuable acquisition
to the professional ranks of Sea -
forth.
On Monday Last Seaforth lost two of
its best citizens in the persons of Mr
and Mrs John R. Lyon, who will in fu-
ture make their home in Toronto, Mr
Lyon having been offered a position as
valuator for an insurance company,
with headquarters in Toronto. While
both will be muchamissed in town, Mrs
Lyon's loss will be especially felt in
the Presbyterian;church where she has
ever been an indefatigable woi ker.
Arthur Cornyn, of Colborne town •
ship, has purchased the north half of
lot 4, con. A., containing 100 acres,
known as the Jas. Harrison farm, for
the sum of $2,350. This farm was of-
fered for sale by public auction last
April, and the highestbid received was
$2,000; it was va ithdrawn, and now sells
for $350 more. The land is good, but
the fences and buildings are poor.
Recently Mr and Mrs Daniel Wood,
of Exeter, went into the country to
visit friends, and remained away fif-
teen days. They unconsciously locked
their fine collie dog in the woodshed,
where the animal remained untiLtheir
return,without having eaten any food.
When Mr Wood opened the door, the
dog sprang out, and proved to be as
lively as ever, though so thin that it
was hardly recognizable.
There passed away on Monday of Last
week one of the first settlers in Turn -
berry township, in the person of Sam-
uel Black, at the good age of 73 years.
Deceased located in the wilds of that
township in 1855. His energy and
ability early manifested itself among
his neighbors. and when in 1857 the
township conceded ;from East and
West Wawanosh he was chosen reeve.
He represented the township at the
county council during the years of
1858-59. 1861, 1875-79.
The Belgrave fall show, under the
auspices of the East Wawanosh Agri-
cultural Society, was held on Monday
and Tuesday of last week, in the Agri-
cultural park, Belgrave. The weath-
er on Monday was decidedly against
the directors, but on Tuesday the eun
came net, and in the afternoon espe-
cially the weather was almost as good
as anyone could wish. The directors
had spared no pains in getting a list of
attractions and prizes, and it is to their
efforts that the success of the fair is
due.
Judge Doyle, on Wednesday, grove
judgment in an important will case,
tried before him some time ago. Mrs
Sheriff, late of West Wawanosh, died,
having first made a will, but after her
death the will could not be found.
Wm. Sheriff, one ot the sobs, brought
an action aeking for administration of
the estate, and John Sheriff set up the
lost will 11) defence. The action was
tried at Goderich before His Honor

served* and was just given Last week,
when the plaintiff's action was dismiss-
ed, the learned• judge upholding and
establishing the will set up by the de-
felt.4ent.

north half of lot 9, con. 4, Mor'ris,owned
by the late James Proctor, from Mrs

to Mr Alex. Gordon, for the sum of
$2,900. The farm contains 50 acres,
and was purchased from Mr Gordon's
father a few years ago, so that Mr
Gordon now owns the farm on which
he was born.
One of the most exciting incidents of
the Wroxeter show was a contest oc-
casioned by the offer of a special prize
for the lady who could harness a horse,
hitch it to a buggy and drive once
around the track and • get in first.
There were three eontestants,viz.: Mrs
,D. Moffatt and Miss Agnes Stewart,
Turnberryl and Mrs W. Pelton, East
Wawanosh. The horses were stripped
of their harness, and the harness laid
on the ground in the same position for
each lady. The wet d being given they
made some remarkably rapid motions,
and it was not long until they were
into their buggies. They nearly all
started at once. Getting on the horses'
bridles seemed to trouble them most.
Mrs Moffatt got a little the start add
kept ahead until she got nearly to the
goal, but, mistaking the place, she
stopped too soon, and was passed by
the other two. Mrs Pelton and Mise
Stewart were vei y close, in fact so close
that their buggies collided after they
passed the score, and both -came nearly
spilling, but the horses were caught by
the hy-standers beforb any damage
was done more serious than the twist-
ing of an axle on one buggy, and a
broken shaft on the other. Mrs Pelton,
having got in first, was awarded the
prize.

--A "bonanza" farmer of Dakota, Mr

smut is the consequence. I always
change the seed, and this year I had
fields that were entirely free from
smut, while land only a few feet away
across an imaginary line produced
wheat that was full cf smut. My
neighbor had used the same seed right
along, while I have changed mine."

The Ontario Provincial Secretary,
Hon. J. Gibson, has started the reasons
for the Government dropping the bind-

been mainly instrumental in causing
the price to be reduced to its present
standard, says he. The small percent-
age which the value of labor hears to
the cost, of r eve material and risk in
buying fibre are the principal reasons
of the change decided upon. The ne-
cessity of employing travellers, and
the inadvisability of sales on credit
were t he reasons for introducing a con-
tractor who assnmee the risk of buying
fibre and the expense of selling the
twine.

In many towns of the Western
States, and even in some cities, so
called, it is the inalienable right of the
residents to pasture their cows in the

But the groceryman of Manistigite,
Mich., have started out to have the
cows banished from the streets of that
town, or else to make the town trea-
surer pay them liberally for the priv-
ilege the cows enjoy. The grocers
complain that the cows have ceased to
browse on the ordinary pasturage the
streets afford, and now make a dead
set for the vegetables displayed in front
of their stores, and oftentimes entirely
clean the local market of green gro-
ceries before the ordinary customers
have a chance.

A FARM ON FIRE.
A singular spectacle is presented on
the J. H. Dowell farm near Montpelier,
Ind., which attracts hundreds of visit-
ors daily. It is the curiosity of a farm
of 00 acres which literally is being de-
stroyed by lire. Much of the land in
the vicinity of the Dowelllace is
muck to a depth of 12 or 14 feet, the
vegetation having accumulated and
slowly decayed for many years, The
recent dry weather bas made this peat
as inflammable as tinder, and when
fire reached it a few,days ago it ignited
and has been burning slowly ever since.
Altogether 60 acres have been burn
ed over, 35 acres having been consum-
ed, while 25 acres are yet burning.
The flames do not break out from the
soil, but the whole surface is covered
with dense smoke, the ground at times
assuming the dull red glow of burning
brick. It is utterly impossible to ex-
tinguish the fire, and the energies of
the neighbors are directed to saving
adjacent property.
The fire on the Dowell farm is more
disastrous in a financial way than is
popularly imagined. The 25 acres now
being consumed are three feet lower in
the center than when the flames began
their ravages. The peat, or muck,
dried out by the intense heat, will con-
tinue to burn until the water line is
reached, the fire will then die out, and
when the ashes which are left blow
away, there is nothing left but a large,
dry pond, as unproductive as an aban
doned gaavel pit. For the next two or
three generations the land is worth-
less, and it acquires value only as the
vegetable growth again collects and
forms a new coat of soil.
Near the burning muck, separated
only by a ditch which workmen are
now laboring industriously to widen,
is a tract of 110 acres, an unbroken
area of peat. Should this take fire
from the land now burning it will be
impossible to save any part of it, and
170 acres altogether of Mr Dowell's
land will have been consumed.

"This, as rte name implies, is a temperance
story, and is told in the lamented author's most
graphic style. We have never read anything
so powerful since 'Danesbury Ronan,' and this
book in stern and pathetic earnestness even ex-
cels that widely -known book. It is worthy a
Placa in every Sunday School and village lib-
rary; and 6e the latest utterances of ono whose
writings are so deservedly popular it Is sure of
a welcome. Por sale by all booksellers."
