About fifty rods of railway fence was destroyed by flre last week, three miles east of Fordwich. The Bell Telephone Co, have extend- ed their line from Gowanstown to Mayne corner through Kurtzville, Mr, Wm. Spence, sen., has had then making frames for the foundation of a new barn, to be erected on the Breats' farm, north of Newbridge. Robt. Wallace raised a barn last fine week. It took part of two days to complete the work. Mr. Wallace will have splendid stabling and one of the best barns on this line. Farmers have safely housed their hay and winter wheat. Most of the barley is cut. Wheat and barley are a very good crop, but oats and peas do not promise to be as good. On Tuesday night about one o'clock Win. Baird's barn on the 4th con. was destroyed by fire, together with his hay, binder, mower, eto. Mr. Baird thinks it was the work of a tramp, but, we suppose, how it was set on fire will remain a mystery. There is in- surance of $500. Morris. The following from the Winnipeg Free Press, dated Aug. 13th, will be of interest to many in this vicinity :- A pretty wedding was celebrated on Wednesday last, at the home of the bride's brother, Thos. J. Kelly, Cy- press River, Man., when Minnie Rose, daughter of George Kelly of Walton, Ont., was married to P. Lawson Gra- ham, of Wellwood, son of J. Graham, Almonte, Ont. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. W. Goulding, incumbent of Church of the Ascen- sion, Cypress River, in the presence of about fifty guests. The bride was given away by her brother, Thos. J. Kelly. She was attended by two bridesmaids, Miss Ethel Creighton, and her sister, Miss Hannah Kelly. Misses Helen McLeod and Marguerite McDole, of Winnipeg, cousins of the bride, made dainty flower girls dressed in pink and white silk, and carried baskets decorated with pink and white flowers and ribbon. Master Ernest Owens, cousin of the bride, acted as page, dressed in blue velvet costume. The groom was attended by his bro- ther, A. 13. Graham, of Birch Hills, Sask. The bride's dress was cream silk eolienne over white taffeta and trimmed with chiffon all-over lace and white satin ribbon. She carried a lovely bouquet of cream bridal roses and tern, and wore in her hair a few orange blossoms of her mother's bridal wreath. Miss Ethel Creighton was dressed in cream voile, and Miss Han- nah Kelly in cream marquisette, each carrying a beautiful bouquet. The groom's gift to the bride was a pearl brooch, to the bridesmaids, pearl cres- cents, to the flower girls, opal and sapphire rings, to the page a souvenir pin and to the groomsman a gold tie pin. The bride's gift to Mr. Haltalin, organist of Church of the Ascension, who played the Wedding March, was a gold locket. After congratulations a dainty lunch was served and a cou- ple of hours spent in social chat. The happy couple then drove to Holland and boarded the train to Winnipeg, en route to Wellwood. A large num- ber of costly presents indicated the popularity of the young couple.

There are several inmates of the House of Refuge, who, in the .natural order of events, will pass away before long; one is said to be 105 years of age, There are others who are as absolutely helpless as infants, having to be fed, washed, and otherwise car- ed for. A wedding present recently sent from here to the States, costing $10, is held up by the Customs for nearly $6 duty ; this is protection with a ven- geance, and takes off all the pleasure of such an event. Rev. Mr. Magee, pastor of the Bap- tist church, will in all probability be leaving town in a few weeks. It is three years since he located here and he has grown into the esteem and con- fidence of the people regardless of de- nominational lines. Some 25 of the business men of town had supper at Bartliff's restaurant on Tuesday evening, R. Holmes, Presi- dent, in the chair. The matter of or- ganizing the town for the waterworks by-law was taken up, and good com- mittees prepared for each ward. Mr. John Johnston has disposed of his harness business to Mr. A. Mc - Brien, late of Hensel!, but formerly in business here. Mr. Johnston's only reason for selling out is the desire to take a rest, and recuperate, his health not having been of the best. Mr. Stewart, proprietor of the Wav- erly House, suddenly left for parts un- known on Tuesday night, leaving sun- dry unsettled accounts, and creditors from whom he is said to have borrow- ed money. Mr, Heater, of Berlin, holds a mortage on the contents, and until his arrival the place is in charge of Constable Phalen, Goderich. Blyth. Mr. and Mrs. John Emigh Sunday in Brussels.

Miss Chrissy Armour of Wingham is visiting her cousin, Miss McDowell, Oth line, at present. • Wellington Dow, of Cobalt, has been spending a few weeks at his home on the 10th con., but left again for the North last week. At a meeting held one afternoon in the schoolhouse, the ratepayers of S. S. No. 7, by a vote of 12 to 11, decided to remodel their school after moving it to a central site in the section. On Wednesday of last week, James Wilson, 4th line, had his 'knee cut very severely by the kick of one of his horses. It will be over a month before Mr. Wilson will be able to be about again, so the doctor says. .r 'i 'S. ..•-f They Give Wonderful Health.

Hall, 8th con., that had got through his farm fence on the track. The result is three dead animals. Loss is a big one as two of the horses constituted his working team and were good ones and the third was a fine colt. We under- stand Mr. Hall has asked the railway Co. to put up $590 as payment for the horseflesh. . c1 , Nay Fever Germs Are Now Floating About. They are in the air everywhere, too minute to see, but just waiting for a chance to get into your lungs. Then they will play havoc with your breathing apparatus, and you'll won- der what to do. The doctor will say you had better inhale Catarrhozone for it kills Hay Fever germs. Catar- rhozone cures every time, and abso- lutely prevents the disease from re- turning. Von inhale Catarrhozone with the air you breathed; it goes direct to the source of the trouble and cures it by removing the cause.
