Wanted! Several Degrees of Frost.
The weather of the past week has
been unfavorable for forming ice so the
rink is not yet, ready for the opening.
The management is doing all it can to
shove the work ahead but in the ab-
sence of more degrees of fro t, can't
make very groat headway. A couple
of nights with a temperature of.ahout
twenty belowafrezo and all would be
well.
Poorly -Plated Watches Sold,
THE NEWS -RECORD has been inform-
ed several tithes of late that peddlers
are roaming over the country with a
very inferior grade of gold-plated
watches which they manage to sell
at the price of a gond article. The
time -pieces look well 'for the time
being, but the plating being of the

liable dealers.

ford's, became mentally unbalanced
Friday and posessed of the halluci-
nation that the town bell was being
rung fully half an hour out nf time and
that the chronometers along Albert
street also needed regulating. Satur-
day night his vagaries took a religious
turn and at four o'clock next morning
he ran up and down the streets, rapping
at doors, rattling windows and awak-
ing citizens only to greet them with
his demented cry. Early in the fore-
noon the poor fellow started to walk
to his home in Exeter. He is subject
to epileptic fits, which have impaired

Contin, which is springing upon the
lake shore south of Bayfield, appear-
ed in a Toronto daily on Saturday last.
From this we Learn that over $100,000
has already been expended in the gi-
gantic task of founding a city there.
If Monsieur Contin succeeds in his en-

disappointed than the people of Huron

Can They Look Daggers ?
Lester Whitely, of Toronto Varsity,
in writing a friend in town among
things said :-I have been in several
hustles, hustles, crowds and crushes,
but never before in one such as I was
in Wednesday night when I went to
hear F. Marion Crawford, a favorite
novelist of mine, lecture. What made
the crush for admittance interesting,
was the number of women in the
crowd. When we reached the hall
the steps were already crowded, chief-
ly with those of the other sex, and
when the, doors opened .there was
quite a large number there. Whoever
could first procure their tickets got the
hest seats, so of course there was
somewhat of a crush. I was highly
amused, and at the same time surpris-,
ed, at the way those women fought
their way to the ticket office. Mill-
man and I had, just for fun, joined
hands and one young lady could not
at first understand why she could not
force her way between us, and when
she discovered the obstacle, appeared
quite wrothy, We, of course, like the
others of our sex, did not like to take
advantage of our muscular energy but
still we did not feel like getting a hack
seat. Between a crush of men or
women, give me the former for they
are not everlastingly digging you in
the ribs or the hack with their elbows
which, by the way, they 'seem to
sharpen up in anticipation of the
struggle; nor look daggers at you
every time you happen to jostle them
a hit.

Death of A. C. Hawkins.
A long-tibne correspondent of Tax
NEWS -RECORD, A. C. Hawkins, of
Port Albert, died at his home recently,
aged 57 years. He was one of the
numerous staff of this paper from 1881,
commencing with The News. The
piquancy and dash of his style
was racy of the birthland of his par-
ents, though he was horn at Porr,
Albert, where his father was Crown
Land Agent in the early days and
erected the first grist and saw
mills in that part of the country.
The elder Hawkins was also the
first Reeve of the township of
Ashfield. Deceased was often em-
ployed by the late Dominion Govern-
ment to look after the harbor improve-
ments at the Port. Ile was an ardent
Conservative and a staunch Episcopal-
ian, and did good work for both church
and state. His numerous friends feel
confident that the dominant potency
of his many. Virtues will totally oblitr
ate his few faults at the final reckon-
ing.

Mr. Newton Davis will have an ex-
hibit of fancy pigeons at the Show.
Mr. Lack Kennedy will make a fine
display of his nainmoth Light Brah-
upas and Black Rocks.
Mr. Walter Coats has recently dis-
posed of quite a number of Black
Minorcas, the greatest layers.
An instructive part of the exhibit 'it

W. A. Ross' incubator bringing the

Mr. Thos. Robinson, Maple St., has
a Barred Plymouth Cockerel hatched
in July which now turns the scales at

Mr. L. G. Jarvis, of the Model Farm,
will be judge at the Show. He is con-
sidered one of the best experts on the
continent and as all the birds will he
scored by hini this will give the fan-
ciers an idea of their value.
There were some 1600 entries at the
Ontario Poultry Show held in London
last week. "'There was a large attend-
ance of visitors and numerous sales of
fancy birds made. At least one Clin-
tonian invested and added half . a
dozen choice specimens to his previous-
ly fine collection.
Mr. Jos. Kearns pins his faith to the
Black Minorcas as the steadiest layers
and non setters. Seven Minorca eggs.
he says, average a pound, and are
fully equal to nine Leghorn eggs. Mr.
Keat'ns was wont to breed Black
Spanish, Leghorns and Plymouth
Rocks but he is gradually replacing
them by Minorcas.
He who puts the finest produce in
the market, says the Massachusetts
Ploughman, reaps the richest harvest.
Eggs are reflned wheat, corn, grass,
and they contain much that on the
farm would go to waste. In winter a
basket of fifty dozen will bring more
money than a load of hay it took a
large patch of laud to grow, a team to
cut, a horse and man to rake, two men
to stack and a team, wagon and man
to market. Sell fresh eggs or none at
all. Get just as far as possible from
the general lot dumpted on the corner
grocery. Seek for regular customers
and get retail prices. Stop crying
about loW rates and cheap goods by
rising above them. Herein is the gos-
