Maggie McDonogh, of Wingham, fell

Mr. John 6a11man, sr., died at Zurich.
Deceased was well known and highly
respected by all, being one of the first
settlers of the township. His,re►nains
were interred in the Lutheran ceme-
tery on Wednesday.
Mr. James Dallas, of the 2nd conces-
sion of Tuckersmith, while harvesting
his peas a few days ago, came across
one stalk which had on it 25 well filled
pods. Had his whole crop yielded as
well as this one stalk, he would have
had a yield .of over 300 bushels to the
act's.
Last spring Mr. Fred. Davis, of
Seaforth, gave a traveller for a London
wholesale house an order fur a carload
of sugar, but as sugars had taken a
jump before the order could be filled,
they refused to send it along. Davis
entered suit for damages, and at the
last Division Court there, the case was
heard by Judge Doyle and a jury,
when a verdict for $100 and costs was
rendered.
An eight year old lad, son of Mr.
John Scott, of Roxboro, took it into
his head that he must go to Toronto to
see the big show. Accordingly he
walked into Seaforth barefooted, and
in his home clothes, and took passage
on the five o'clock train east. His
parents supposed that he had gone to
his uncle's to remain over night. As
he failed to turn up on Sunday they
became alarmed, and on making en-
quiries they found out the particulars.
After a good deal of telegraphing and
anxiety, he was picked up in Toronto
by a policeman, who sent hon home by
the train 011 Monday morning, and he
arrived at Seaforth in the afternoon,
none the worse for his adventure.
Recently Mr. Wm. Clegg, grain
dealer, of Wingham, drove about fifty
miles around that section to secure
samples of wheat, oats, peas and barley
to send to the Toronto Board of Trade,
to place before experts to fix the grain
standards for this year. He says the
fall wheat is a magnificent sample, and
it weighed 62 pounds and over per
bushel. Peas are also a splendid sam-
ple, yield well and are free from bugs.
The pea crop, Mr. Clegg says, is the
best there has been in this section for
years. Oats are poor quality, being
both dark in color and light in weight.
There is a great deal of smut in the
oats and also cockle and weed seeds.
They will have to be cleaned exceeding-
ly well to he marketable. He says
there was a large breadth of oats grown,
but he thinks the farriers will be dis-
appointed in the yield when they
thresh them. Barley is poor sample
and but little grown. Straw is a scarce
article this year; Mr. Clegg, in his
day's drive, did not see a stack of straw,
though many of the farmers have
threshed. Farmers are carefully hous-
ing the straw for feed.
Wm. Miller, of Brussels, shipped a
carload of ashes to the Eastern States
Wednesday noon from Atwood sta-
tion. There were fifteen tons in the
car. It is worth about 65c. per bushel
at its destination, and is reduced in the
manufacture of baking powder, potash,
etc.
While playing around the house the
other day, Katie, the little daughter of
Mr. R. H. Collins, of Exeter, fell off
the verandah, and broke her arm near
the wrist.,A few weeks ago she fell off
the cloths reel stand and broke the
same arm a little higher up.
Thos. Mathers on Wednesday plead-
ed guilty before Judge Wm. Elliot to
the theft of a bag of oats from the
Parkhill laundry. He was let go on
suspended sentence. This is the second
case where Mathers has been dismissed
and sentence suspended.
Mr. Thorns Crawford, of Toronto,
has been commissioned by a large
ranching company in the North West
to buy two thousand steers to be ship-
ped by the C. P. R. to the West this
fall. The steers are to be one and two
years old and the prices offering are
from $19 to $20,t head, laid down there,
or two cents a pound.
What might have resulted in a
serious accident happened Mr. Wm.
Drew, of Exeter, last week. He had
his hands full and in opening the gate
with his foot it caught between the
bars, the gate throwing him to the
ground and spreading his,legs in such
a manner as to cause great pain. It
required assistance to raise him from
the ground.
Seaforth Sun :—Information has come
to us of strange conduct on the part of
a McKillop farmer. If current reports
are true he, becoming enraged at a
female in his employ, struck her a
violent blow across the head from the
effects of which she shortly afterwards
died. The corpse is said to have been
buried in a comparatively short space
of time after life had become extinct,
not even so much as a coffin being
brought into requisition. We can
hardly credit the rumor, yet if circum-
stances are in the least suspicious the
matter should be thoroughly sifted.
Mitchell Advocate :—Mr. John Jenk-
ins, who settled near Clinton about the
year 1840, but of late years has been
living at Forest Glen, a suburb of
Chicago, spent a pleasant hour in our
sanctum on Wednesday.He is a
brother of the late Mrs. Jhn Hicks of
this town, and is at present the guest
of his nephew, Mr. W. W. Hicks. He
is in his 76th year, and enjoying fairly
Scod health, but his sight is going fast.
ome 25 years ago he purchases 163
acres of land, on part of which he now
lives, paving therefor $70 per acre.
In 1891 he sold 44 acres of his property,
realizing $300 per acre therefor.
Twelve months later it sold for $1000
an acre. Two years ago he made
another sale, this time selling 76 acres,
for which he received $900 per acre.
He has 43 acres still left, which would
command, any day, $1200 per acre.
Mr. Jenkins is also owner of the brick
building on the Mitchell Road, at
present occupied by Mr. J. T. Hicks,
all of which has been made through his
own industry and perseverance. He is
accompanied by his wife, a.,p.nd after
spending a few weeks seeing friends
they will return to their home,
