St Marys) was leaving the home of a friend
where he had called, during the evening,

pulled him up between the buggy box and
hind left wheel, his arm passing between a
gearing, bar and the box; His coat sleeve
naught on v bolt underneath the box and
held his arm fast. The horse continued
at full speed for 2k miles, with Mr Marini
dragging behind. By some turn in the
arm or extra jolt of the buggy his arm was
released, and he fell to the ground. Upon
examination it was found that his boots
had been torn from his feet, as well as the
greater portion of his trousers, and the
flesh was all worn to the bone on the side
of both feet and about ball way to the knee;
the ankle joints also having about a half
inch worn off them. The side of one ot
his legs is terribly bruised all the way to

Christmas comes in about three weeks,
and already the merchants are preparing.
for their chief holiday. The stores are
being well stocked with the usual nov-
elties, and the range and variety ofChrist-
mas goods bids fair to surpass anything
yet seen. The successful merchant who
understands his business is already adver-
tising his attractions, and people are mak-.
ing up their minds where they will buy
their holiday presents.

am better satisfied that the recent duty
has been placed ou lambs going into the

buyers, inasmuch as now they know what
they have to pay, whereas under the form-

in the majority of cases amounted to far
more than does the present duty on lambs_

A St Marys correspondent write.:—"It
is reported that the Rev Mr Turnbull,
paster of the First Presbyterian Church,
has receiyed and accepted a call from
Toronto. Mr. Turnbull is the longest resi-
dent minister in town, and his removal
will be sincerely regretted, not only by the
members of the Presbyterian congregation,
but by people of every denomination in
the community The Presbytery meets
here in January, "until which time it is
scarcely likely that any activesteps will
be taken in the matter." The rev gentle.
man is a son of Mr. Turnbull, of Exeter.
A bylaw has been introduced by the
Seaforth council to provide that the as-
sessment be made between the first of
July and the 30th September, and that the
rolls be returuable on the 1st day ofi0c-

r, also that on the 14th and 15th clays
of June the 'hest instalment of taxes
amounting to 10 mills on the dollar, be-
come due and payable, anis, that the bal-
ance be payable on the 15 and 16th of

cent be made on taxes not paid on these
days.
Farmers and others who are in
habit of 'askinga the
year's credit of the
tnerchants, will do well to at oncerenare
themselves for a cash system duringthe
coming year. Owing to the Grocer's
Guild having withdrawn the oash discounts
from merchants and shortened their time
of credit, the merchants will be compelled
to urge an immediate return for the 1roo9
s
retailers: by them. hem. If therefore, at the
close of this year you are informed of this
fact by the merchant, it need not cause
you any surprise. ,
