Mgr. John Moorsehead paid a fine last
week which we consider was unjustly
imposed on him. He had been author-
ized by Mr. Wm. Carllug to do some re-
pairing to a fence on a piece of rented
property and because the man occupy-
ing the premises held spite against Mr:
Mooreshead be laid a charge against
him for trespassing. We are of the
opinion that Mr. •Mooreshead could re-
cover his money on the ground of be-
ing authorized by the owner to do the
work.
Obituary,
The announcement of the death of
Mr. George Sanders' will occasion no
surprise owing to the fact that he had
been a long sufferer and the family
was aware that the final dissolution
would not be long delayed. Several
years ago deceased was'str'eken down
from the effects of an abscess which
brought li,im almost at the point of
death, but he being of good courage
and strong constitution he decided to
undergo an operation. The operation
was performed and the patient greatly
benefitted thereby, but the sickness and
the trying ordeal of undergoing the
operation, his health and vigor was
considerably reduced and he has been
an invalid ever since. His death took
place on Tuesday ..morning about five
o'clock at the age of 47. years 7 months
and 4 days. He leaves to mourn his
demise a wife and four 'children who
have the sympathy of the community

persons went from here to spend a day
at the Grand Bond. The weather be-
teg find, everybody seemed to forget
about everything but sport, and no

All who wont agree that the bast way
to have a good tune is for all to go and
not do as some of our neighboring
white washed villages have done—
make a little selection.

There is a great stir at present in
the Western Fair Mice sending out
invitations to exhibitors and isitors
throughout Canada, in the shape of
Prize Lists, Lithographs, Programmes,
and advertising natter of all kinds.
The Western Fair Association were
never. in .a better position than they
are at present, the handsome cash bal-
ance of seven thousand dollars to in-
sure against loss by weather, coupled
with the fact that for the first time in
many years there is no other large Fair
being held on the same dates.
The Live Stock Department is of
personal as well as financial interest
to every farmer, owner, or admirer of
choice animals. An endeavor is being
made to,secure the prominent breeders
with their stock, which will embrace
the choicest spe'eimens of every stand-
ard breed, and in uumhers eclipse our
great record of the past as a Live
Stock Echibition, The Western Fair
offers unexcelled opportunities for the
sale and purchase of Live Stock.
The Poultry Department, which was
the admiration of not only fanciers and
breeders, but of our visitors as well,
will be considerably augmented this
year, from the fact that London is to
be the selecting poiut for Western On-
tario where specimens for the World's
Fair will be chosen, and as London and
vicinity furnish nearly one-half of On-
tario's exhibit of fowls, we are not say
ing too much when we remark that
this year's display will be most extens-
ive.
The Agricultural and Horticultural
Departments will especially interest.
those engaged iu the science of bus
bandry and the admirers of these use-
ful products. The choicest specimens
of grain, seeds, roots, vegetables, and
plants, comprising the best old and the
most valuable new varieties will be on
exhibition.
. As London is the great centre of the
Dairy •Interests of Canada, and as
many of the winners of medals at the
Columbian Exhibition are residents of
Western Ontario, a large exhibit of
cheese and butter is au assured feature
of the Fair.
.A large number of special Attract-
ions nave been arranged for already
for the entertainment of the visitors,
among which are W. C. Coup's Eques-
curriculm and Prof. Buckley, s cele-
brated army of Trained Horses, se-
lected for their perfection of form and
intelligence, these almost human ani-
mals will give a realistic representat-
ion of A BATTLE SCENE, and other
feats even more wonderful.
Professor Freyer's EDUCATED
DOGS, which hold High Court Session,
consisting of Judge,. Lawyers, Jury
and Prisoners, will try,• convict, hang
and bury one of their number, besides
performing numerous other intelligent
and astonishing tricks.
They have also secured the Imperial
Japanese Troupe from Tokio, Japan.

formances of novel and sensational

Broncho Bill, the Rifle King, assisted
by Miss Teixie Slocum, will ;ive'exbi-
bitions of the most difficult feats known`
in Shooting. Among other throbs they
will shoot lying balls while standing
on a Swinging Trapeze.
An elaborate display ofFIREWORKS
will be given 'each evening,. These,
together with Speeding Contests, Bicy-

Between seven and eight o'clock on
Monday morning• a young man named
Hamilton was thrown from the Sarnia
Bridge, St. Marys -the railway bridge
which crosses the Thames on the main
line of the GT:R,—falling a distance
of about 60 feet. Hamilton was one of
a gang of irou workers at present en-
g•aged in double plating the girders of
the bridge. He is about 18 years of
age, and a son of the foreman
of the gang. His home is' in
Toronto. He was standing " near the
centre of the bridge at a place where
the chains hacl been removed,, when ai
train crossed. A projection fromone
of the cars struck him, and he fell. The
bed of the river is solid rock, and at
this season of the year there is but it
slight depth Of water. It is probable,
however, that little as there was there.
was sufficient to save his life, When`
picked up it was found that one should-
er and a leg were broken.
