Noms,—Farmers are busy taking up
their roots; the potatoes will be an ex-
tra crop this year. The fall wheat pre-
sents a fine appearance this fall; the
beautiful showers and the fine weather
,have made the growth rapid. The
threshing machines are about through
-with threshing this year; the yield was
fair for the quantity of straw.
DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT.—The
township of Ashfield lost on Monday
Of last week, in the death of Mr Thos.
Hunter, on of its oldest, most highly
respected and best known residents.
Deceased came to the township nearly
forty years ago, and by his industry
and ability, had acquired a good share
of this world's goods. He was a man
of undoubted integrity ; straightfor-
ward and manly in all his dealings,
and in his death the county has lost a
good citizen. He was for many years
the able and popular president of the
Kinloss Branch Agricultural Society,
and in the early days of that now flour-
ishing society, no one worked harder
to promote its interests than Mr Hunt-
er. Deceased had reached the age of
years and 3 months, and his fimeral
to the Kinloss cemetery was largely
attended.

morning burglars entered the Grand

of the safe to the interior; filled this
with explosives; attached a fuse, and
their work was accomplished. The
lockside of the safe was shattered, and
the interior completely destroyed.—

agent's office was broken, and the door
leading into the freight sheds was torn
from its hinges. Before leaving, the
thieves helped themselves to soma
grapes which were in the freight sheds.

Thursday, at the age of 59 years and 11

nese that marks events of a like nature.—
Born in Toronto, he came to Huron nearly
25 years ago, and was a resident of Goder.
ieh township nearly all that time. He was
a man who was well informed, and took an
active part in publio affairs, supporting the
Liberal party, He leaves a widow, two

being in Manitoba. The funeral will take

pleted in this section. Miss L, Holmes
Is visiting Miss Lavinia Tebbutt this
week. Mr Geo, Phipps was in London
last Tuesday, on business. Some
"scamps' seem to take a pleasure in
disturbing the worshippers .at the
Wednesday evening prayer meeting;
we did not think that in a neighbor-
hood where people were eo highly civil-
ized, that there are some who do not
know better. Mr W. Elliott and fami-
ly will move this week to occupy the
residence lately occupied by Mr J.
Burton, Porter's Hell. • -

during the last few days about the se-
rious condition of a couple of its eti-
teemed residents through illness, • Dr
Agnew, who was laid up at the house
of his parents in East Wawanosh, with
typhoid fever, was nicely recovering

almost all hope of his recovery Was
abandoned, and on Sunday last his
death was expected at any time; we
are glad indeed to be able to announce
that on Monday he took a turn for the
better, since which time he has contin-
ued to improve, and there are now
some hopes of bis recovery, if the best
of attention and careful nursing can
accomplish it. The other patient le Mr

from fever; at one time his condi on
was decidedly critical, and the is

Estoenirre:—Mr Doige:pf Tuck-
ersmith, who has been Principal of
Harriston public school for some time,
has been re-engaged for 1896. This
shows that the members of the trustee
board know they have a good efficient
principal, and are determined to retain
him.
BUSINESS CHANGE —;Th'e jewellery
business of Mr. Horace Jackson has
been bought by Mr W. G. Doherty,
second son of W. Doherty, Esq. He is
an industrious yonng man and will look
for his share of trade. Mr Sid Smith,
a young man of experience, has been
engaged to look after the practical part
of the business.
NOT So.—The News -Record of this
week contains a paragraph stating
that the tongue of a horse belonging to
Mr Jas. Steep, had been maliciously
cut while the animal was in a stable in
town. Mr Steep wishes us to say that
so far as be is aware the paragraph
has no foundation whatever.
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—A well -
attended meeting of the members of
Horticultural Society was held in the
Council Chamber on Tuesday evening.
About eighty persons have signified
their desire to become members, so
the Society starts off with a good
membership. Mr WM. Coats was ap-
pointed Secretary -Treasurer. It was
decided to hold meetings every four
weeks, and at the next meeting- Mr
H. Foster will give an address on
'Window gardening in winter."
Bayfield. '
THE FALL SHow,—Had the weather
been at all favorable, our fall show
would have been an unqualified suc-
cess; as it was, the attendance was
very fair, while the display in the dif-
ferent departments wasdecidedly cred-
itable. This show seems to fill a point
not particularly reached by any of the
other shows, and the consequence is a
good exhibition yearly, On another
page will be found, the prize list, which
gives all the information in this direc-
tion that is wanted.

STOCK AND BARNS DESTROYED.—
The barn of Mr W. Berry, a quarter of
a mile south of Brucefield, on the Lon-
don road, were burned about 7 o'clock
last Thursday night. How the fire ori-
ginated is a mystery, and was burning
in the mow when flrst diocover ed. The
stock and a portion Of the implements
were saved, but a buggy arid other ar-
ticles, together with considerable crop,
were lost. It is said theta was an in-
surance of $650 on the 'building, and
$700 on the contents,
CHARIVARL—It is reported that a
number of yclungmen in this township
undertook to charivari a newly -married
couple, getting nothing for their dis-
graceful conduct on the first visit. A
second was made, which resulted simi-
larly. It is said that they did consid-
able harm by breaking windows, etc.

NEWsPAPORIAL.—We neglected to
mention a couple of weeks ago, that
the Tavistock Gazette, under control
of Mr J, W. Green, had made its ap-
pearance. It is neatly printed, with a
good supply of home news, and is evi-
dently well supported by the business
men. Mr Green has plenty of hustle
about him, and there is apparently no
reason why' the Gazette should not
succeed.
ASSAULTED.—J. A. King, of Clinton,
while driving to Wingham from Corrie
one night recently, had an unpleasant
and somewhat startling experience.
As he was approaching a swa.nip,
particularly lonely part of the road, he
heard a man shout from a field as
though in distress. The man came
running towards him, and when near
the road fired a shot, the bullet
passing uncomfortably close to him.
Mr King kept on, driving somewhat
slowly for a short distance, fearing
further molestation, then drove at a
rapid rate for home.

Times are improving; more money
being put in circulation; many men
who have been idle for weeks past are
finding employment, and the outlook
looks brighter than it has for months
past. The NEW ERA shows the effects
of the trade impetus, and the mere
chant§ who are using printers' ink so
liberally must expeet good returns for
the expenditure. When times are
good, or growing better after a con
paratively dull eason, the averag

SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL — A peculiar
and fortunately rather uncommon ac-
cident happened a couple of weeks ago
to the youngest child of W. Doherty,
Esq., of town. Thelittle fellow was
left in chtrge of an older brother for a
few moments, while his mother went
upstairs, but she had hardly got there
when one of the children called her,
saying the baby was choking. She
found the child apparently struggling
for breath, and fancied he had taken a,
convuleion, Two medical men were
telephoned for, who were soon on the
scene. The child by this time was un-
conscious, its face livid, and making a
faint struggle for breath. The doctors
decided that the operation of tracheot-
omy (opening the windpipe) would be
necessary to save its life, and proceeded
to perform it. Even with all their
haste the child by this time was com-
pletely unconscio us, had stopned breath-
ing, and was pi acticelly dead; hut the
operation was hurriedly finished, a sil-
ver tube inserted in the windpipe, and
artificial breathing being resorted to
for a while, natural breathing was re-
storecband the child speedily improved,

throat. The doctors were convinced
some foreign body was still in the up-
per part of the WindpipentIthough they
could not leant that the child had any-
thing in its hands, or could possi big get
anything. The child progressed splen-
didly, apparently suffering no incon-
venience from its new mode of breath-
ing; but as the .obstrection had to be
removed, chlorofortn was given a few
days ago, and after some difficulty, as
it was hard to locate a foreign body in
a child so young, the doctors succeeded
in removing a pea, much awoolen,which
had become firmly fixed in the upper
part of the windpipe, and which had
resisted all the ordinary methods of
removal that had been tried before the
