Being; spiritualistic, he consulted a clairvoyant, and was rewarded. The harbess was located, according to the clairvoyant, in the fourth house of the eighth concession from the town line of Chatham. Mr. Eddy proceeded to the house. It was unoccupied, but the stable adjoining the fifth house was not. • Mr. Eddy got a search warrant and went through the stable. The search cost him $100 before a jury ; for the stable belonged to a colored minister of the Methodist church, who found his professional rep utation injured by an unjust "suspicion. Mr. Eddy is finding spiritualism an un- profitable study Rlistal:en . "Look here, Bridget," said an indig, Want lady, .

Wednesday, April 20th. The prizes hays been con- siderably increased and an addltiopal clars for Shire horses has been added for this year; sad as the market for both horses and cattle is considerably improved over the past few years, and greater interest is being manifested in the breeding of these animals, it is ex- pected that the competition at the show this year will be unusually keen and that there will be a larger turnout of both stock and spectators at the Spring Show than for niney years past. It was decided to have only one judge in each class and to procure experts from a gistanee.

Kellerman was driving his colts. around to get them used to driving and after going some five miles (he be- ing busy) gave them to Messrs, Geo. Ruby and Sam Willert to continue the drive. They had been so quiet with Mr Kellerman that he felt safe in giving them to a ten-year old boy and never for a moment anticipated any accident when he let Mr. Ruby have them, but Ruby and Willert had not driven forty - rods when the team got frightened by a dog on the road side. They bounded over in the ditch, broke the tongue of the buggy and were off quicker than " scat." After running some three quarters of a mile they somehow got so tangled in the harness that they fell over one another in the ditch and could go no further. Strange to say neither were hurt and the buggy was not broken save the tongue and one whiffletree. Mr. Witzel happened along at the time and the colts were at once hitched to his wagon and given a good merry drive. Lots of driving such as this is what they want to put their colt- i�h notions aside and bring them down to busitiess.
