Give the ADVOCATE Job Department your next order, There died at the residence of Mrs. Levy, Exeter North, Florence McGinn, daughter of Mr. James McGinn, at the age of 14 years and 7 months. The deceased had been a victim of lung trouble for some months, thus her death was not in the least unexpected. Her remains were interred to the Catholic cemetery, Adare, on Wednesday. Flossie the five-year-old daughter of Mr. John Hunter, of Usborne, who was severely injured by an old sow some time ago, does not seem to improve very rapidly. The bone in the arm which was so badly mangled refuses to unite and itis deemed advisable by a her physician to remove the ends of the broken bone, for which she will S undergo an operation next week. $ A certain lady bicyclist in town met s with a rather unpleasant experience on e Monday night last. She was riding southward and in some manner her C wheel took a sudden turn and sent her heallong into the ditch. This was not R the worst feature of her little escapade, $ to her great surprise she landed on the C body of a man who had fallen by the J wayside evidently overcome by a dose of bug juice." The frantic screams and yells can better be imagined than described. All the hog buyers have been instruct ed by the packers to pay 50 cents per cwt. less for singeing hogs that weigh less that 160 lbs. each. Too many of them are being sent forward. Fred J. Colvin, of the Collingwood Meat Co. t says that their firm must pay 50 cents per cwt. less for all light hogs, Farm ere should be careful to raise bogs of the right weight and quality, or they stand in danger of losing the good name which Canadian hams and bacon have secured hitherto in the British market. Corn -fed hogs are not wanted. The Wingham Advance says:—Quite recently a lady in town had been clean- ing her stove pipes with a mixture of which linseed oil was an ingredient. She left the mixture on a stand and went to bed. Some hours after she was awakened by a smell of smoke, and found that the rag in the mixture was on fire. As the pipes were cold it is thought that the fire must have been caused by spontaneous combustion. Fortunately it was discovered before much damage was done. This shows what care is necessary even in little things, To expect to do business without re- sort to advertising is like trying to cross the Atlantic in a rowboat—few accomplish the feat. Therefore it is un- wise fora business man to abstain from spending fifty dollars" for advertising simply because he cannot afford to spend a thousand. It should be remembered that seed will grow just as well when planted in small quantities as when planted over broad acres, and although the crop will necessarily be smaller, there is no valid reason why it should net be just as luxuriant. Furthermore it is far better to have a small crop than to have none at. all, Mr. M.

The following story, says the CU ton New Era, is absolutely true, a though it has a very fishy flavor: certain man was reeently out fashfn in this vicinity, and all be caught wa a little bit of a fellow no larger til his finger. Disgusted, he left his po lying by the side of the strealn, th line trailing in the water. During th night the fisherinau dreamed that h had caught a fine large trout, and tb dream woke him up; falling asleep again the dream was repeated, and in the morning when he event to the stream be found a speckled trout weigh• ing two pounds attached to the hook. This story is true as gospel. Ear ataa neve. It would be well for farmers to ob- serve that they are particularly warned against mixing goose wheat with that of other varieties. The AnvouaTE has been informed by our local buyers that wheat so mixed depreciates the value six or seyen cents per bushel. ar. isominion 11111x, The banks here'have received new ssues of one and two dollar Dominion bills, which have considerable change n the ground work from those hereto. fore issued. Instead of the dark green tint on the ones a cream tint is shown, while the tint ou the back of the twos has been changed to a Clark red. The Outage is the result of a general ob- jection to the old issue, on the ground that these denominations were too much alike. We will continue to receive either issue of the ones for one year's subscription to Tun ADVOCATE, or will accept, yes, urgently request that those who have two of ours in subscription arrears will send them iu at once. We will take all risk of our banker being able to distinguish the twos from the nes. er Co. have disposed of their entire plant to Messrs. Cr. C.

The members of the new firm are well and favorably kuown here and should re- ceive the hearty support of the town, Plebiscite Vote, Very little interest was manifested in the taking of the plebiscite vote here on Thursday last, consequently- the vote polled was small. Out of a possible vote of 454 only 2788 were polled -171 voting "yes," and 10.. "no," thus leaving a majority in favor of prohibi- tion of 64.

This action which has evoked much public interest and comment, was tried on Monday last at the sitting of the High Court of Justice, before Mr. Jus - ice Meredith and a jury at Goderich. The litigation has been long and ex- pensive and arose out of a dispute be- tween the parties as to the amount of a deposit made by the plaintiffs in the defendants bank were on the 13th of May last. The plaintiffs claimed that they deposited with defendant on that day the sum of $1,000, while the de- fendants claimed that the deposit was only $664. The trial on Monday sus- tains the plaintiffs claim, the jury hay• ing rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs against the defendants for $336 and all costs. Dickson &Carling for plaintiffs; Elliott & Gladman for de- fendants, Etherington—Snell. The residence of Mr. Eli Snell, Huron street, was the scene of a very pleasant and interesting event on Wednesday evening, of this week, being the mar• riage of his eldest daughter, Miss Ida, to Mr. George Etherington, -a prosper- ous and popular young farmer, of the township of Usborne. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Wil loughby, pastor of the James street Methodist church, at about 7 o'clock, in the presence of a few of the immediate relatives, The bride was gowned in an elegant dress of white organdy mus• lin and was attended by her sister, Flossie, while the groom was supported by his cousin, Hubert Etherington. The bride received many beautiful, useful and costly presents. The Anvo, LATE joins their host of friends in wish• ing them a long, prosperous and happy wedded life, put into a machine, compressed into cylindrical pieces of about one and a half inches in diameter and about the same in length. The cast when manu- factured. is comparatively small, being only $2.50 per ton; haute if the results are equal to that of coal this new dis- covery will be hailed with delight by thousands. It is said there is enough material in Hat/ swamp alone to supply the whole of Ontario for many years. A test of its quality was made in Strat- ford last week, the particulars of which we take from the Herald of Thursday, as follows:—From three until seven o'clock yesterday afternoon peat made from the article found in the Ellice swamps, was used in the furnaces be• neath the boilers at the local Water Works. At three o'clock the wonted coal fires were drawn and the cylindri- cal pieces of peat were substituted. The heat given out appeared to the uniuiti ated at least to be quite equal to that from the coal. The officials say that they had no difficulty iu keeping on a full head of steam, and are apparently very well satisfied with the new cola bustive agent. An accurate record was kept of the amount of fuel burned, the steam pressure and the water pumped during the four hours. This afternoon from three to seven o'clock a similar record will be kept, only the coal will be used instead of peat. Thus a set of comparative figures will be obtained which will be very useful and instruc- tive. Mr, Checkley, the Welland ex- pert, says that, owing to the grate bars being about seven inches too far below the boilers to obtain the best results from the peat, he expects that about ten per cent. more peat will be requir- ed. Last evening the peat was used in the Windsor kitchen ranges, and the heat given out was remarkably intense so much so that every check damper had to be used to keep the fire within reasonable bounds. A peat fire is ex- ceedingly bright. The peat burns to fine ash, leaving no clinkers or cinders. The set of comparative figures will be read with interest. Personal Mention. Mr. Jas. Walters spent a few days in Hamilton this week. Mr. Wm. Creech served as a juror at Goderich this week • John Taylor, of Walton, visited friends in town Saturday. Miss Mary Grigg is visiting her brother Mr. William Grigg, London South, Mr. C. B Marsland of the Molsons Bank, Toronto, is renewing] acquaint- ances here.

Bennent, has returned from a visit to his father, who has been very ill at his home in Orangeville, but who is now improving. The many friends of Rev. Fletcher, of the Thames Road, will be pleased to learn that he is recovering from bis re- cent severe illness. His recovery a few weeks ago was veru doubtful. Mitchell: Willie, the little son. of George Teur, was riding in a light wagon on Saturday last. The little fellow lost his balance and fell over the dashboard to the ground, allowing both wheels to pass over his body. Brussels: Last Wednesday morn- ing, Way, the youngest son of Rev., S. Allan, while running through a back haliway did not notice that the trap door of the cistern was open and . the first thing he knew was that he , was taking an unexpected bath with his wearing apparel on.

Mitchell: Mrs, Leggatt, Burnside farm, Logan, received a letter on Wed- nesday saying that her daughter, Annie, who was married about a year ago, died at her home in Plumes, Man, leaving an infant a couple of weeks old and a husband to mourn her loss, Her brother, Thomas, who was in an- other part of the country, on hearing of the dangerous illness of his sister, drove nearly two hundred miles to see her, but he was too late, as she had passed away just before his arrival. Deceased was well known here as a young woman of fine character and kind disposition, and her death will no doubt be deeply regreted. -NEW-0 MEAT MARKET.
