Parsons vs. Davis—At Fall Assizes at Goderich on Wednesday, was giyen in favor of defendant. All members of the Stephen and Us - borne Agricultural Society are hereby notified that prize lists haye been mail- ed to each one, and all those who have net so received their list will notify the Secretary at once. All exhibitors will also take notice that the Secretary is not responsible for the article regard- ing entries which appeared in the Times' columns last week. It was pub- lished unknown to him. All. entries must pass through the Secretary's hands first, so that no entries can be made unless the exhibitor has paid the -regular Member's fee of $1.00. It would be well for our readers to look out for the parties described be- low by the Guelph Mercury, as they may take a notion to try what they can do in Exeter. The Mercury says: "For the past weak there has been a couple of women in the city practising the art of silverplating cutlery. They did a thriving business during their stay. They boarded at a boarding house on Paisley street, and silver- plated the cultery there, The mis- tress of the house was not satisfied with the way in which the work was done, declaring that they had spoiled her wares. Hearing that they were about to take their departure, she followed them up to the station in no very pleasant mood, and demanded her money. It was promptly forked out, and the landlady enjoined to bold her tongue. There are many other vic- tims in the city, but being bit they do not care to say anything about it. The Bruce Herald is responsible for this bee story:—"On Saturday after partaking of dinner, Mr. Whitehead took a seat for a few minutes on the verandah. The women had been pre- serving during the forenoon, and this may have been the cause of the arriv- al of a number of tame bees. Some of these commenced buzzing unpleasant- ly close to Mr. Whitehead, and he used a fan he had in bis hand to lay some of them out. After killing some of them they apparently got angry, and he was forced to take shelter in the house. Before entering the door he saw what appeared to be a whole swarm of them coming directly to the house. These tried all means of get- ting in, and if any of the family show ed his face at the window the bees would dart at the face and cover the glass. Finally the bees flew down, picked up their dead comrades and carried there off. In some way it is supposed word was sent to the hive, and the swarm sallied forth to revenge their dead comrades." Fried Bananas. Take ripe bananas not too soft and peel them. Dip them in cracker dust, then in beaten egg, and again in crack- er dust. Fry them whole, like doughnuts, in boiling' hot fat. When of a delicate brown let them drop in a colander. Serve in a fringed napkin on a platten. Something' to Be Remedied, The average height of women is five feet two inches, but rarely does one find a house in the city or country. in which any attention has been paid to this fact in arranging the closets The hooks are placed six feet high from the #lour, and lucky for the housewife if it is not mote; and above that is placed a shelf, which is practically almost use- less. No woman cares to mount a chair or table every time she wishes to get her bonnet or shawl, and' the result is, that there is often a series of Nixes btr the floor, which, if handy, have to lee removed with every sweeping.— ecorator and Furnisher, 25 cents will pay for the ....A to January 1st, 1895.

While handling some boxes of eggs on Monday last Mr. Jas. Abbott acci• dently let one fall on his foot and con- sequently is now very latae. The old unoccupied house on the south side of Mrs. John Gould's xesi denoe has been purchased by Mr. Jas. Oreeh, jr., who is having it removed down behind his fathers residence. He intends refitting it for a dwelling, A most unprincipled person broke into Mr. John Mallet's stable one night recently and carried off a ham, a shoulder of pork and a large piece of bacon. It is indeed a shame as the poor old man's circumstances are not the best, Will our Biddulph friends please re- member the Anniversary and Harvest Thanksgiving services to be held in St Patrick's Church on Sunday next, Sept, 23rd at 11 a. m2 The Rev. J. W. Hodgins, of Seaforth, will exchanged with the Incumbent for the occasion, and conduct the services and preach. A special Thanks offering is particu- larly requested. Mr. John Torrance, the popular ex reeve of Stanley, is spoken of as at ean. dilate in the next Dominion election for South. Huron on the. Conservative ticket. The Oke farm situated in township of Usborne was again sold at the Cern merclal House on Saturday last by S. Malcomson, local master, of Goderich, to Mr. John Oke for the sum of $5,570. This is considered a fair price. "Tom" saw the following advertise. ment in the newspaper: "send one dol- lar and we will inform yon how you can make ten dollars a day" He sent his dollar and this is the information he received in return for his money: "Insert an ad like ours in the news- papers and get ten fools like yourself to answer it." The open season for shooting grouse, wood -cock and hares opened Saturday, Different opinions exist, but it seems probable that woodcock will be found very scarce, scarcer than usual if that is possible, grouse not as plenti- ful as they were last year, owing to bad hatching weather -in the spring, with hares more plentiful, where the swamps have not been disturbed by fires, owing to restriction of shooting them in the winter, The only feathered game which is still protected, and may be met with, are quail, and they must not be shot before the 15th October.

That Breeehy Cow Again. There is a certain cow in town that is causing more annoyance than all other cows in the neighborhood put to. gether, and we know of three citizens who would be very much pleased if the said cow was cut up into beef—the sooner the better. The destruction to our garden last year and other dam ages this year could not be replaced at the very least calculation for less than .$20. We have been informed that this cow attacked several small ehil'dren on William St., not long ago. The quest- ion now is "are the little children of this town to be kept indoors, or must this cow be shut up?" We hope that our council will see. fit to pass a by-law that eows will not, be allowed on the street from Jan; 1st, to Dec 81st, PICKARD'S Mantles a'r'e the best and cheapest in town. 1 resbytery of Baron. The Presbytery held a regular meet- ing in Clinton, on the llth inst. Ses sions were instructed to arrange for their own missionary sermons, and all sessions within the bonds were request ed to have such meetings or sermons. Mr. W. T. Hall student, read a discourse which was cordially sustained. The supply of Bayfield and Bethany was left in the hands of the Home Mission j Committee, including the Moderator of the Bayfield session. The. attention of the brethren was called to Knox Col- lege Jubilee, and the hope expressed that they would attend to the matter. The report of the Finance, and Sabbath School Committees, were delayed till next meeting. Moderation in a call was granted to the congregation of Brucefield, The next meeting of Pres bytery is to be held in Clinton, on the 13th of November, at half -past ten a.m. Keep the Piano in Tune. At the present day there is a piano in nearly every home, but probably not one third of these instruments are kept in tune. Even people who have good instruments often neglect that most im- portant part, the keeping of them in playing condition. Children are often expected to practice upon an instru- ment which would drive a person with a musical ear to madness if obliged to listen to it every day. And yet some parents say, We thought this instru- ment would do to begin with." What a beginning! Can a carpenter do good work with poor tools? Supposing in laying the foundation of a building the mason should say, "Any kind of mater- ial will do to begin with." What sort of a buiding would you expect him to build? Not a very substantial one surely. Parents, if you want your children to become really musical child- ren, give them a good instrument that is in good tune and order to begin with and then keep it so. Endeavor Meeting. The Huron County Christian Endeav- or Union will hold its third annual con- vention in the Rattenbury street Meth- odist church, Clinton, on Thursday and Friday, October 4th and 5th. Prepar- ations are being made to receive a large delegation of Huronites, and, judging from the partial list of speak- ers and sub,jecte given below a success• ful convention is assured:—"Some as- pects of Christ's work" will be taken by A.

The partial eclipse of the moon Friday night was the cause of it, a:: the strange sight kept many sky gazing for a con- siderable time. The shadow appeared first at the north point of the moon's disk. As the moon moved up toward the left, the shadow appeared to move down toward the right, covering at the middle of the eclipse a little less than a quarter of the diameter of the moon's disk, and leaving it at a point 58° to the west from the north point. The first contact occurred at 9h 36m, cent- ral standard time, At 10h 32m the eclipse was at its maximum. After that there was only the faint pecumbral shading on the west side of the disk.
