While driving through the country this week we noticed tnat certain sect- ions are sadly neglected by the patb- masters, so far as cutting thistles and obnoxious weeds are concerned. The law should be rigidly enforced. The Harrison Tribune says:—"On Saturday night about thirty of M. Harrison's pupils went down to the 9 o'clock train expecting to meet their teacher and give him a hearty wel- come. Mr. Dorrance had missed the train at Seaforth and as be did not get off the little girls felt quite disappoie t- ed. Dorrance is very popular with all the pueils." Everybody should look out for a new swindler, He stops at the house and enquires whether the family has lost any children, and if the answer 'is in the affirrnati ye, the age, etc., will be asked. A short time after he puts in an appearance with some sort of a fraud certificate containing the infor- mation given, and demands $3 for the same, His idea is to frighten women into paying him the amount. Let Towser lose upon such characters. Summer is about over. The schools have reopened, harvest is nearly fin- ished, the summer borders aro hurry- home,and the townspeople are begin rang to think of settling down to an- other winter of hard work, while the country people are looking forward to the long winter evenings when they make ten for the many long, hard hours they have put in after supper in the harvest field. The question then arises, how are those long evenings to he employed.

A little four-year-old girl was sent down town the otber day in Tilson burg co make a three -cent purchase. On her way down she lost two of the coppers, and to square the deal she walked into a store and after explian- ing the position she was in, asked the proprietor for the loan of a couple of cents, promising to pay it back the next time she was down town. It is needless to say that the little toddler got the amount and will not be charg- ed any interest. Mrs. Wesley Snell, London Road (South) narrowly escaped serious in jury on Saturday afternoon last. It appeais she and Misi Ida Gould were driving on the Lake Rood and when about opposite Mr. John Penhale's res- idence their rig collided with the Dash- wood stage. Almost instantly they were tossed from their seat and Mrs. Snell thrown headlong between the frcnt and hind wheels, and without a doubt wend have been killed had the horse started to run However they escaped with a few slight bruises. The rig was badly smashed and they were compelled to remain with one of the neighbors that night. Mr. R. K. Kernigham, of Roektown, has been carrying on a little corres- pondence on the Sunday question with a Binbrook minister in the Dundas Banner. He wiites:—The trouble with the clergy is that they define rest as going to church and hearing them -preach. Now, with a great many peo- ple.; their sermons have the opposite effect—they make some people 'dead tired,' if I may borrow a slang expres sion and use it literally. I wontd like to ask the reverence writer this quee- tion: 'How is it that, after 1,900 years of Christianity, the preacher cannot in- duce the people to keep the command ments and observe the Lord's Day without an act of Parliament and a police force?' " The new residence of Mr. Cook, 5th con, McGillivray, was burned to the ground last Saturday night between 8 and 9 o'clock. Cause of fire is Unknown. Messrs. Dyet & Howard, of the Eteter Planing Mills, have the contract, but at the time of the fire was not complet- ed. The men who were employed on the building quit work at 5 p.m. and had gone homeleaving no suspicion of fire around the premises. The same evening Mr. Cook, after cleaning out the shavings, chips and other refuse ready for the painters work, went to the postoffice, which is about a mile from his home, and while there talk- ing with others, saw the first indicat- ions of fire. A builders' insurance pol- icy was put on the building some three days previous. An adventure of Mr. Cook's with two strangers while on his way to London a short time ace makes the cause of the fire look somewhat suspicious. The institution known as the "Paris- ian Inventors' Academy" has been shown up to be a slick swindling de- vice, the managers of which fairly coined money by writing budding in- ventors to the effect that he (the said B. I.)had been elected a Member of Honor with award of the Fitst-class Diploma arid the Great Gold Medal.

It is understood in educational cir- cles in Toronto, that the Minister of Education, recognizing our people will not much longer submit to meagre ed- ucation obtainedin our public seh. ols, under the present system of entrance examinations, will abolish those exam- inations and substitute in lieu ,the "Leaving Examinations," which are more severe and require a pupil to be further advanced than is now the case in order to pass the entrance. Patern- alism over the High Schools is all very well, but the mass of our people must depend upon our Common schools, and they should be the first and principal care of the Minister.—Galt _Recorder. The Potato Earrest. This is now in order, and here aro some timely hints anent the naatter. As a rule, potatoes should be dug soon af- ter they are ripe. This can usually be known by the death of the Tines -- always by the skin ceasing to slip when pushed firmly by the thumb. If cellars are dry the potatoes can be put in immediately, providing they are not plaeed in contact with stone floors and walls, but if the weather is favorably, thorough drying in the open air is pre- ferable. 11 stored in a cellar when dry they should be put in bins with slatted bottoms a foot or so from the floor, and. not piled over two feet deep. Better builkl one tier above the other than pile deep. Barrels or boxes set up off the floor furnish another good way. If cellars are wet it is better to store potatoes dug early in an above ground room until cold weather; or siltbetter, if to be sold, and prices are favorably, market them at once. Is it always best to dry the tubers well before stor- log. Personal XentIon. William Brooks left on Monday for Clinton. where he will attend the Model School.—Mr, D.

Paterson, of Colborne, Ont., commission merchant, in a recent cir- cular, says that the English apple crop is abundant this year, enormous in fact. In the United States the crop is about equal to that of last year. The greatest scarcity is in early summer and early fall varieties. As for Ontario be says: "It is true that in the heavy growing sections of the Province, such as Huron, Bruce and Grey, the yield this year is considerably smaller than last, but in some other countries there is a perceptibly heavier yield, and it can be safely escorted that apples this season can bo found in every apple growing country in the Province, and although more scattered than last year yet when all are gathered the quant ity, to my opinion, will be from be tween 30 to 40 per. cent greater than the estimates stated in the current re- ports. In addition to this the quality of the apples is inferior to last season# and it will cost the dealer more to gather the fruit on account of it being s� Scattered. Owing to the trouble in the United States, it is thought the purchase there of Canadian apples will be very conservative while their own crop of small fruits is unusually large The present indications are that Great Britain will not require any Canadian apples for gonad time, while for winter varieties the late demand will probably be fairly good, providing; the quality is choice and the quantity not too large He advises great care in grading and packing, and would suggest that an extreme price for the very choicest Canadian winter apples in the orchard would be 81 per barrel. 444440444444,4mennvevtevrwtrmemmvvval.vw....444P44.44444.4.44S44'.....4.4.44.o.440*~4 It is a well knowizi fact that we have the most popular TEA trade west of the cities, What can be more refreshing DELIOIOLTS than a 6111) °f TEA, PIT E FRES FRAGRANT.
