R Beattie, of Hensall, and will con- duct it in connection with their Sea - forth business. Mr. Beattie has been in delicate health for some time, and intends to recuperate before again en- gaging in business. Wingham: Potatoes in some of the sections around Wineham will be very scarce this year. The early frosts, dry weather, and the multitudes of bugs were too much for the potatoes and the consequence is that quite a number of farmers will run short before winter is over, and wehave heard of some that will not have a potato.—Wingham Times. Ken Mr. Thomas. McKay has for the past week been nurssng a sprained leg, the effects of a straw stack falling over while Mr. McKay, with others, was assisting at a thresh- ing at Mr. A, Monteith's. Mr. McNay was one of thefour on the stack, which was well up, when to their great sur- prise the stack tumbled over; landing all on mother earth. It looked a little serious for a few moments, as it was thought some of the company was like- ly. to be smothered in the straw. Crediton in memory of that day the boys held a picnic at Bayfield and report a big time. Quite a number of business men and others were invited, but, Sorry to say, not even one turned out.

Toronto, August 27 —The supreme court of the Independent Order of For- esters yesterday decided by a vote of Ile to ld to ndinit women to the order as advised by Dr. Oroubyateka, H. C. R., in his openiurr address. Mr. 13. I. Solomon moved, seconded by Mr. Wardroper, that the table of rates given in the supreme chief's re- port be adopted. Hon. Mr.Aitkanc .tial this was the most importaut t, tstion that could come before the ...der. He would. favor an increase tri rates, even if no additional benefits were conferred. The rolling up of the surplus inthe past did not prove that the present rates were high enough. An increase iu the rates was absedutely necessary. The rates must ultimately depend oa the mortality table. The speaker cited the case of several beneficiary orders that had collapsed, and left the old men, who had been members of them without any insurance at all, simply because the orders did not collect high enough rates to protect those men. The actual cost of carrying the risk must be paid, or disaster must ensue. Better to have $500 Ientrance and be sure of, than to beinduced to carry 51000 and have the risk of losing it all. The eloquent supreme vice -chief ranger made the most powerful ad- dress that har been heard at this meet- ing of the court, After full discussion the motion of Mr. Solomon was put and carried by a vote of 126 to 16. This makes the a- mendment a part of the constitution of the order. teams are malting a strong bid. for the C. L. A, senior championship. The re- sult was a rather easy victory for the Beavers by five goals to two. Cotlsld• arable rough play was indulged iu, Brialy and McDougall, of the Seaforth team, being especiallyy conspicuous in this line, Lionel Ring, of Orilla, was referee. McKillop. Many of our readers will regret to learn of the death of Mrs. Daniel Manley the wile of Deputy - Reeve Manley, which took plaee on the 13 inst. Mrs. Manley was quite a young woman, being only 27 years of age. She was at daughter of Mr. Lee- man, of McKillop. She was a most es- timable woman, who was greatly be- loved and respected by all who know her. Her death is a severe bereave. wont to her respected husband and family, Brinsley : A serious mishap oc- curred recently, on con. 4, McGillivray, when Mr. John Robinson had the mis- fortune to have his threshing engine'. run into and upset into the ditch by one of the brace -rods connecting the tongue with the engine becomiug disconnected, which allowed the engine to swing off the road, has the horses had no control in guiding. Messrs. Robinson and Gil bort were somewhat injured but had a miraculous escape from being badly hurt. We hope that he will soon have his engine in running shape again as this is the busiest time for threshers. Mitchell: During the storm last week considerable damage was done to orchards, and several windows were broken, illr. Skinner's greenhouses suffering most, where about 850 lights of glass were destroyed. In the south ward the lightning struck the house of Mr. Wm. Clegg, demolishing he the chim- ney, and in tnorth ward Mr. Far- rant's house met with similar fate, while the same thing happened to Mrs, Bennett's in the west v,'ard, but for- tunately, no lives were lost, The storms were the worst ever experienced, so far as the oldest settler can remem- ber, iu MitcheIl. Clinton : A couple of lightning rod peddlers had a narrow escape last Fri- day. While driving down the Bay field Bead one of their span becoming;' irritated by the flies, . kicked over the'. tongue and struck the other horse.; This sent them both off and they ran down the road at racing speed, not- withstanding the efforts of the driver to restrain them. By and by, bow• ever, the wagon struck some obstacle on the roadbed which threw both man out of the rig, the driver in front of the fore wheel which passed over him, but as the hind wheel struck him the team came to a sudden stop, the lines, of which he had not let go, having be- come entwined about him. Wheu the runaways stopped, the second peddler had one of his legs between the spokes of a wheel, so if the team had contin- ued their flight louger the consequen- ces onsequences might have been serious. The thirteen-year•old son of Captain Bradley of Buffalo was drowned at Port Bruce while bathing. George Bevis, aged seventeen years, of Hamilton, attempted to commit sui- cide by taking strychnine. The Freight and passenger business on the C. P. 12 is now heavier than at any time during the year. Thieves broke into the store of Mr• L.
