We regret to learn that Thomas Holmes, Esq„ a well-known and es- teemed resident of this town, is now very seriously ill.

Last week's Weekly Sun had the following on the wheat crop :—"Some- thing even worse than the winter kill- ing has struck the fall wheat crop of Western Ontario, A short time since the promise was for a good quality, even where the yield was light, To- day, owing to rust, causing the grain to shrink, a large portion of the. win- ter wheat crop of the Province will be fit only for feed. Speaking roughly practically the whole of the winter wheat in that part of the Province ly- ing west of a line drawn from Toronto to Georgian Bay, Itas been so badly damaged from this cause as to be fit only for feeding purposes, The result of the rust has been not only to large- ly reduce the yield, but to cut down the value by one-third per bushel, the shrunken grain being worth only 60c., while good milling grain of the new crop would be worth 90e. If yon want a very swell pair of eye- glasses, call on Dr. Egbert at Queen's hotel, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day, Aug, 22, 23, and 24. A Pioneer Owe. On Wednesday, Augnst 10th, an- other of the pioneers of Tnrnberry township, Mr. Thomas Stokes, passed to his long rest, after having acted well his part in the clearing of the land and making a home for himself and family, where once stood the un- broken forest. Deceased was a native of England, being born in Langer, Not- tinghamshire, in 1835. With his fatlt- er and brother, he caste to Canada in 1850, and settled in the township of King. This section of country was then opened for settlement, and in 1857 Mr. Stokes, with all the vigor and energy of young manhood came into the depse forest and chose lot 3, con- cession 11, Tnrnberry as his home, and on this farm he labored and toil- ed, staking by his industry and frugality a comfortable home. So fax as is known, he was the flrst white man that slept in the neighborhood he chose for his future home. He was a member of the English Church, es- teemed by the community, a kind and loving husband and father. He leaves a widow, five sons and five daughters to mourn his demise. He was sixty- nine years of age. The pioneers are rapidly passing away. Destructive Storms. On Saturday last two destructive electrical storms visited this section of country, with the result that at least two barns were destroyed and one person killed. During the storm that occurred in the morning, Wm. Han- na's residence in town was struck, the chimney destroyed and the stove shat- tered ; Mr. Hanna also received a shock. Mrs. Reid of Pleasant Valley and several others report shocks from the nearness of the electric fluid. The barn of Wtn. Robinson, Tcu'nberry was struck and destroyed by the fire that followed, with his crop of hay, wheat and barley, with some hens and One pig. During the afternoon storm, the barn of David Robertson, on Con, 12, East Wawanosh was destroyed, together with some implements, at, quantity of oats, hay, etc. The de- struction of a barn at this season of the year is a heavy loss, and with lumber at its present price, the erec- tion of a new one is a costly under- taking. Bret sadder by far than the lose of property is the fact that the storms in the afternoon resulted in the death of one individual. Mrs. Alex. Bruce, who resides with her son, on lot 31, 0th, Concession East Wawa - nosh, had occasion to go upstairs dur- ing the storm. 'While there, the house was struck, the lightning enter- ing through the chimney, and Mrs, Bruce was killed. Her son was in the bairn at the time and saw the chimney fall, Ile at once ran to the house and upstairs. He found his mother lying on lies• face, dead, and her clothing oft fire. She had ap- parently died. without a struggle. One of her boots was torn off by the electric fluid. All its the house were affected by the shock, more or less. Deceased had been twice married, and leaves a husband and family of seven. She was 72 years of age. The funeral took place on Monday to Mc('rao's cemetery, Belgrave, and was largely attended. Thus, while to some, death comes by slowly lingering disease, to others it collies with such sudden - Tho very latestami swellest styles in eye glosses, chains and pins carried by Dr, Egbert, Lye elecialist, at Queen's hotel, Aug, 2?, 23 u tt 24r less, that it startles communities, em- phasizing the command -.-"Be ye also t'eadyassea..

When the work now in hand is completed, our Presby- terian friends will have a fine chu eh . home, A Police Magistrate. Mr. J. A. Morton has been appoint- . ed a Police Magistrate, without salary, Fortunately Wingham is a quiet, orderly town, and its citizens are law-abiding ; we trust it will al- ways remain so. Nevertheless, (,here are tunes, when the law must be a : "terror to evil -doers," as well as ap- pealed to in order to determine right between sada and his neighbor. The Advance feels confident, that Police Magistrate Morton will endeavor to decide honestly and fairly any case that may come before him in his of- ficial capacity. Don't forget the date of Dr, Ekbert, the Eye Specialist's visit, at the Queen's hotel, Aug. 22, 23 and 24. Meteors. During the electric storm cin Satur- day last, a -meteor fell on the farm of John Shields, three miles from Shel- burne, It buried. itself a considerable distance into the ground. It is a metallic substance and weighs 13 pounds. It is evident that this is only asntall portion of what fell. It is re- ported ,hat something resembling a ball of fire was seen falling east of Belgrave during the saute storm, 1>ut WO have not heard of any substance being found. Au Observertary pro- fessor says that if these were meteors they could have no onuection with the electric storm. The Popular Excursion. The old reliable popular excursion from Kincardine to Detroit, under the auspices of Wingham L. O. L., will take place on Saturday, August 27th.
