Destroy the Worms Now.
In time of peace prepare for war
Kill the caterpillars while they are
nesting, not -to keep them from eating
any more leaves this year, but to dis-
courage the next generation of that
pestiferous insect. The caterpillar har-
vest is now ripe for the active citizen
who has enough energy and love for
the beautiful to clean out the tree in
front of his house. An ordinary walk-
ing stick will do most of the work.
The worms have now begun to build
their cocoons, and thousande of . them
aro within reach of the pavement.
They can be found in their gayish
houses of woven webs in the bark of
the trees. To smash a cocoon now
means the loss of scores of members of
the caterpillars next season. The demu.
ed trees appeal kerongly for such a cam-
paign against the caterpillar. Little
can be done, of course, by individual
effort that is not supplemented by other
work all along the street and through
the town, but an hour's work any after-
noon during the next few days by
every householder in the town will
practically insure a freedom from the
pests next summer., While it is true
that the trees have not been perman-
ently injured by the worms this year,
much of their beauty has been lost by
the eating of the leaves, and it cannot
be possible that the attractiveness of
the trees will survive =ay such sea-
sons of devastation.
A woman over in Grey recently put
together a patch -work quilt with 7,120
pieces in it, and the local papers boast
of the achievement. At this distance
it looks like a first-class scheme for kill-
ing time, and could only be excelled if
the woman in question had undertaken
in the same space of time to pour water

The Seaforth Sun says: -"Informa-
tion has come to us of strange conduct
on the part of a McKillop farmer. If
current reports are true he, becoming
enraged at a female in his employ,
struck her a violent blow across the
head from the effects of which she
shortly died. The corpse is said to have
been buried in a comparatively short

A preacher, says an exchange, re-
cently tried to ride a bicycle, and met
with such hard luck that he expressed
himself in the following language:
"These bladder wheeled bicycles are
diabolical devices of the Demon of
Darkness. They are contrivances to
trap the feet of the unwary and skin
the nose of the innocent. They are full
of grille and deceit. When you think
you have broken one to ride and have
subdued its wild and satanic nature,be-
hold it bueketh you off in the road and.
tears a great hole in your pants. Look
not upon the bike when it bucketh up-
on its wheels, for at last it bueketh like
a broncho and hurteth like thunder!
Who hath a bloody nose? Who hath
skinned his legs? Who hath ripped
breeches? They who daily along with
a bicycle."

Presbytery of Huron.
This Presbytery held a regular
meeting in Clinton, on the 10th inst.
Mr. Martin, on behalf of the Home Mis-
sion Committee, reeotamended that the
holding of missionary meetings be left
to the option of sessions, but that mis-
sionaley serm3ns be preached in all the
congregations, and that ministers re-
port thereon at the January meeting.
The recommendation was adopted. On
the recommendation of the Sabbath
School Committee it was agreed that
no Sabbath Schoel conference be held
this year.• It was resolved to ask for
the following supplements of the Aug-
mentation Committee for the congrega-
tions named: Two hundred and fifty
dollars for Grand Bend and Corbett;
8200 for Leeburn, etc., in case of settle
ment, and $200 for Hayfield and Beth
any. Mr. Anderson was authorised
to moderate in a call in the congrega
tions of Leeburn etcwhen they are
prepared for it, Mr. McPherson, stud-
ent, read a discourse on Matthew 5:8,
which was cordially sustained, and the
clerk was instructed to certify him to
the college authorities in the usual
way. A resolution was passed, regret-
ting the withdrawel of Mr. McKay from
the pastorate of Leeburn and Union
church, Gederich township. Messrs. J.
S. Henderson, Acheson, Muir, and their
elders, were appointed a committee to
consider the remits of Assembly and.
bring in a deliverance thereof; also to
consider the statistics of congregations,
and report at next meeting. The next
meeting is to be held in Clinton, on
November 12th, at 1030 a: m.
It is really astounding with what
little regard for truth and honesty, or
the trouble, annoyance and criminal
harm that is done to others, that some
people handle idle stories about persons
and events. .And how such gossipers
and scandle- mongers carelessly and ap
parently cheerfully, add a little to each
item as it passes from one to another
and become so distorted and eularged
in a few hours that it does not in the
slighest degree resemble the facts of
what was first reported. If people
would exercise a little more care and
thoughtfulness for others, how much
pain and evil speaking, lying and slan-
dering could be readily averted. Re-
ports about persons and things, reports
which have not the least foundation in
fact, are of daily occurrence -to the
eternal shame of some of our citizens
be it said. '

OBITUARY.—This week it becomes
our sad 'duty to record the death of an
other of our much respected residents
in the person of Martha, relict of the
late John Irvine,who died on Monday
the 16th inst., at the age of 65 years,
5 months and days. She had been
ill for some time and death was in no
way unexpected.
Seaforth: An eight year old lad, son
of Mr, John Soott, of Roxboro, took it
into his head that he must go to Toron-
to to eee the big. show. Accordingly
he walked into town on Saturdays
barefooted, and in his same clethes, andl
took passage on the 5 o'clock Grata east.
His parents supposed that he had gone
to his uncle's to remain over night.
As he failed to turn up on Sunday they
became alarmed, and on making en-
quiries they found out the paiticulars.
After a good deal of telegraphing and
anxiety, he was picked up In eorouto
by a policeman, who sent him home by.
the train on Monday morning, and he
arrived here on Monday afternoon,
none the worse of his adventure.
Goderich: Last Friday John Gra-
ham, an inmate of the jail who ban
been a familiar character about town
for many years, succumbed to the fa -
{trinities of old age, and through the
kindness of a few citizens who respeet-
the old man in his poverty, he was de-
cently interred ou Sunday afternoon,
On Tuesday another inmate died, au
old woman named Sheppard, whose
husband. was found dead a couple
of years ago under suspicious circum-
stances. This poor old body had appar-
ently no friends, and. her remains, after
being prepared by undertaker Brop-
hey, for shipment to Toronto for use in.
the colleges, were claimed at the
last hour by a brother and iaterred
here.

We regret to learn that Miss Jessie
McTavish, daughter of Mrs. Peter Mc-
Tavish, is still very ill, and she is not
improving much, -Mr. J. R. Turner,
who has been sick all summer, is now
very low, and his reebyery is doubtful.
Cancer of the liver is said to be what
ails him. -One day recently as a team
of horses belonging to Miss Muetard of
the 2nd concession, were standing on
the barn floor, while a load of grain
was being removed from the wagon
attached to them, they got frightened
and ran away. Mr, Simon Watson was
on the wagon at the time, but as the
lines had dropped under the horses feet
he was unable to get control of them.
In passing through a gate the wagon
got fast, and Mr. Watson was thrown
out, breaking his leg- The main por-
tion of the wagon stuck here, and the
horses got away with the front wheels.
In their mad course they ran foul of a
fence, one horse falling down, and the
other, a valuable mare, falling over it's
mate, receiving such injuries that it
died soon afterwards. The other horse
was not much injured, Mr. Watson is
getting along as well as could be ex-
pected, but it will be a long time be-
fore he is able to be around again. -On

he moved to this county and settled on

died, having lived in this county 61
years. He was a staunch member of
the Motility:list church and a Conserve-
tive in polities. He leaves a wife, three
sons and two daughters. He was mar-
ried twice, but had no family by his
second wife. Deceased was buried in
