Merchants should be consistent in doing their trading. Don't go ad yourself and then howl if woad -be patrons do likewise, . • The dealer who courts trade himself must study to win it by meeting his customers' demands for variety, quality, and honest value One of our town agents vonches for authenticity of the following;:—While Olivine along the the townline of Step- hen and McGillivray on Tuesday he saw a well•known farmer horse raking- his akinghis wheat field, costumed in a straw hat, heavy ulster, and heavy woollen mlts. The St. Marys Argus says:—"Mr. R. S. Box while in Brantford the other' day witnessed the electrocution of a dog that had been ill and the owner wanted it killed A set of boots were placed on the animal's feet and connec- tion made at the head. Mr. Box said there was no indication that death was not as instantaneous as lightning. He is now an advocate of electrocution as capital punishment." On Wednesday, July 24th, Deputy Game Warden Gill, of Exeter, went to Carlingford, Fullerton township, Perth Co., and had a respectable farmer (name not given) before the J.P. there for kill- ing quail out of season. The offender was fitted $5 and $1 costs. A number of others in the same vicinity will be brought before the J.P. for the same charge if the practice is not stopped. Warden Gill informs us that he has his eye on a certain party in town, and if any game is killed out of season, he is bound to have 'em. Want of knowledge of the game laws will not let any parson off for illegal killing of game, as it is no trouble to inquire for the proper seasons before going out with a gun. It is to be hoped that the practice will be discontinued at once. Our band went to St. Marys on Thursday last, not to make points, but to get points, and they got them The boys entered the competition and had such organizations as the Musical So- ciety band of London (which included several members of the 7th Battalion). Woodstock, Ingersoll, and Forest bands. Competition was for amateur bands only, but when professionals are allow- ed to enter such a competition, it is no credit to their execution to receive first money ; neither is it any credit to the committee to allow any such pro- ceedings. The judges are not to blame, as they were engaged for certain du- ties- and performed them,we believe, impartially. Military bands are not amateurs by any means. Our "boys" did themselves credit as will be seen by the points made, receiving only 8 points less than third ,place and were highly complimented by Mr. Forder, of Berlin, one of the judges. The follow- ing is the result : Musical Society Band, London, 92; Woodstock, 87; Forest and. Ingersol, 37; Exeter, 29. A large number from here took in the Barnum circus held at London yes• terday (Wed,) A few days ago a valuable beagle pup fell from the judges' stand on the driving park and broke its leg. The Exeter base ball team were de- fasted by Clinton team at Clinton on Thursday last. Theykwere also beaten by a team frotn London on Monday by a score of 18 to 8, The Brussels Post has passed its 22nd mile stone, and likethe sparkling wine improves with age. Bro. Kerr has thefaculty of getting up a good, clean and newsy sheet and it is a credit to the town in which it is published. The town clock, which has been in poor running order for some time, was removed to Zurich on Monday by Mr. Fred Hess, who will give it a thorough remodelling. It is hoped that when. returned it will give better satisfaction than it has for the past few years. Mr. Charles Knight, station agent, left for Grand. Bond last week in the hope that the invigorating breezes of Lake Huron willimprove his health. Chas, Baker, nurseryman and florist, of London, has been in town the past week trimming and. pruning vines and small fruit trees, also giving les, sons in same. Mr. Baker is a gentle- man whom it is a pleasure to meet. The Department of Finance has just issued a report of unclaimed balances in "the chartered bauks of Canada. Among the number we notice the name of Mr. S. S. Dining. having in the Mol sons Bank $200, deposited in the year 1887. The investigation in connection with the recon; incendiary fires, which was adjourned about two weeks ago, was resumed on Monday, last but as the evidence was not well founded:. and in no way conclusive, being purely ci r- cumstantial, the matter was dropped, The expense to the town will amount to over $200. Two prominent baseball sports while returning from the grounds on Mon- day evening indulged in a rather un- becoming fistic encounter in a minuet that would daunt the spirits of Corbett or Sullivan. However, they were re- moved from the arena and were made pay fifty cents for testing their com- hatant powers. The trouble all arose from Berry(i) seasoned with Spice(r.) Rev. E. W. Hunt, Who has been spending the past week - on the beautiful shores of Lake Huron at Grand Bend, conducted service at Mr, Spackman's park on Sunday and a very large number: was in attendance. The Trivitt Memorial choir was also in attendance and aided in the service. 1.)OL1L1ARS SAVED is bohliRS CaAINED T Well,, youcan save dollars byattending the Great Summer Sale now on at the Big' Bauk- rupt Store.

(3) It shall not be lawful to carry on any horse -racing other than trials of speed under the control and regulation of the officers of the society during the days appointed for holding any exhibition by any district or town- ship society, at the place of holding the exhibition or within five miles thereof. An Amusing answer. One of the history questions at the recent Entrance Examination reads thus:—" Describe the customs of the ancient Britons." A candidate in East Bruce gage the following amusing an- swer:—The anemia Blitons dug a " whole " in the ground in which to live, then they dug another "whole" for the fire -place and carried the smoke out in pails.

Bayley, of London South which occurred at 4 o'clock yesterday after- noon, will be learned with widespread regret. The deceased lady attended the band concert in victoria Park on Wednesday evening, and her especial ly: healthful appearance and good spir- its were remarked by numerous friends: Thursday murnieg . about six o'clock she awakened her husband, saying, "Charley, 'I am very sick."
