British Grain Trade, The Mark Lane Express,in its week- ly review of the British Grain trade, says: English wheat is ,,in demand: Red is quoted at 37s and white at 40s. The sales c}f English wheat during the past week .were only 17,609 quarters at 30s 5d, against 33,670 quarters at 30s 5d during the corresponding week last year. Foreign wheats and flour were quiet until the encs of the week, when they became strong'. Good re- ports from Germany, Hungary, Rou- mania and Russia checked a rise. Corn was firm. Barley, beans and peas were steady. Large importations of oats caused a decline of 6d. At to day's market first-rate new English wheat sold at 42s. Foreign advanced 6d. Flour rose 6d. American corn advanced 3d. Oats were depressed. Barley was 3d dearer. Beans, peas and rice were steady. Linseed rose 1s 6d. Corbett, Water is becoming very scarce in this neighborhood.

Clinton Races. The usual Fall Races, of the Clinton Driving Park Association, was held on Tuesday. The weather was very threatening all day, but only a mist fell.

The citizens turned out en masse laden with baskets of good things for `the pic- nic at Bayfield. Tho weather was all ttiat could be desired and every one spent an enjoyable time. The boys say we'll have another soon, Bayfzeld. Erwin is our clerk; pro tem instead of Beacon. i The Messrs. Jowett, jr, took in the excursion to Manitoba last week. Visitors keep corning and going all the time. The farmers blame the drumming for the wet weather. George of the Era is yery uneasy 'a- bout thecd. e s w of the e s quare When he goes after his best girl iii;"the{'ain he should be careful aboutthe tftistics'• and he will be all right. The World's Fair, otherwi, 1c110/111 as the Stanley and Bay fieldfXgri[ctura1 exhibition, will be held hoe op the" 8th and 9th of Oetober. Every effort "'will be put forward to make it worthy of its former good reputation if not to eclipse it. The harbor is in a deplorable •state, It is filled up. The boats have to be. pulled over the gravel, the fishermen paying license for their boats all the same and can't get in or out. The officials promised to do something but that is all, Godericb must be attended to no matter how other places suffer. Jack the Dude growleth and is sore distressed because the sun shineth and withereth his beautiful glossy paper collar and cuffs. And then the cool nor -west wind bloweth on his castor oil system and he sigheth "Would I were dead!" If he wear sackcloth and blue jeanes men say: "He is a tramp!" And if he goeth forth clad in purple and fine linen all the people cry: "shoot the dude!" Verily, there is no rest for the sole of Itis foot, and if he had it to do over again he would not be born at all; for "the day of death is better than the day of one's birth."-1\reivs Record. Stanley. Goshen Line school will haxeMr.Jas. Delgatty as teacher the current year. The Varna Methodist church picnic will take place next Friday at Bayfield Miss Nellie Armstrong is visiting her brother, Dr. Armstrong, of Fuller- ton. The Episcopal church, Varna, intend having a garden party on Wednesday Aug. 27th in Mr. Secord's garden. Mr. Geo. McClymont, of Wingham was visiting relatives in Varna and vicinity the tatter'part of last week. Mr. McTavish had an arm broken the other day through his farm team running away while drawing a separ- ator. Mr. Nelson Keys, of the Babylon Line, met with a rather serious accident a few days ago. While endeavoring to get one of the horses into a mow the animal kicked, striking him under the chin and on the breast. Mr. Keys is now recovering but he had a narrow escape from instant death. Varna may yet grow into a town. It has now storekeepers, a hotelkeeper, a :arriage maker, a furniture maker, a harness maker, a shoe maker, and the latest addition is our eggman. There are certain peculiarities about this egg man which are worth noting, viz: he scatters his eggs instead of gathering them, and he makes his trips at night. This seems strange but probably con- sidering the quality of the eggs he thinks it is better. He is nameless and thinks that to give eggs is better than to receive. He rarely leaves the vil lake and evidently thinks that it is only by sticking close to Varna that he will be able to secure the very high est quality of eggs. Generally speak- ing, the various trades and professions of Varna live peaceably, but we under- stand that some of the yillagers have had some slight difficulty with the egg. man. According to some stories told of him he is not a very desirable neigh- bor and he should be careful or some one may take his measure when he is not aware of it -News Record.

Jeffer- son, 3rd con., Hibbert, received a val- uable medal in the Montreal Fitness prize competition, for which thanks are returned. When it is understood: that several hundred competitors from all parts of Canada forwarded their pro- ductions to the Witness office, and the severe criticism each production was • subjected to, the young lady has much to be proud of. • A quiet wedding ecured at the resi- dence of ex -Mayor Hutchins, in Park- hill, on Tuesday, in which that gentle- man's estimable daughter, Miss Minnie Hutchins, became the bride of Dr. S. A. Metherell, the popular young physician who ha's succeeded to the practice of Dr. Aacalpine. Miss Lilly Stanley, of Lucan, acted as bridesmaid while Mr. Frank Hutchins supported the groom, the ceremony being uerformed by Rev. Mr. Freeman. The happy couple will take up their home at the Dr's resi- dence, and the ADVOCATE joins in the congratulations which are being show- ered upon them from all quarters. Assluunn.-Mr. Frank Kastner, of Mitchell,owing to being unable to meet his liabilities, called a meeting of his. creditorsin London ou Tuesday last,. before whom he laid a full and clear statement of all his affairs. Those pros ent were perfectly satisfied and offered to accept 50 cts. on the $, but Mr. Kast- per thought it better in the interest of all parties to make an assignment, which he did to day. We are sorry that he was forced to take this step as he was one of the most pushing busi- ness men in town, aitd did a large and profitable trade in Mitchell, but with the store in Sebringville, he was carry- too much stock for his means, and had to succumb. Mr. Jno. O'Henly, 12th con., West Williams, Centre Road. had the mis- fortune to lose his bare, implements, machinery and considererable stock by fire on Monday afternoon of last week. The cause of the fire is unknown. The threshers were at his place at the time, and a high wind was blowing, but the fire started in the stables which were situated so as to inake it appear im- probable that it caught from this source. The flames spread so rapidly that al- though the threshers were right on the spot but little could be saved, the sep- arator being got out with . difficulty, Mr. O'Henly's loss will be over $2000, including a valuable team of draught horses, a calf, about 700 bushels of grain, all his hay and straw, and "the greater part of his farm machinery. The property was insured in the East Williams Company for $700. Mr. Laurier Complains bitterly be cause the National Policyis putting money into the pockets of our: farmers.
