Haah Hannon, Ste Marys toad, bought it for li,7,000. If there ever was a specific for any one complaint, then Carter's Little Liver Pills are a speoifio • for sick • headache' and every womeu should know this. Only one pill a dose. • Try them. On Turaday November 5th a supper was given by the Orangemen of Woodham, Addreeses were • delivered by Revs. Nethercott, Snowden, W. W. Leech and W. Johnston. The Kirkton band enliven - ea the proceedings. There was a big orowd present. Mr. Peter DeCoursey, of 'near Strafe,. has purchased 25 acres of the Retort' property on the Huron road, one and one quarter miles west of Dublin, and moved there last week. The part • of the farm bought by Mr. DeCoureey is on the main road and there is a good house and good stable on it. The price paid was $1,200 cash. It would seem that a serious mile carriage of justice occurred in the eerie of W. (ir, Glenn, who was recently sen - hawed to two years in Penitentiary at the W alkerton assizes for forgery. Mr Glene formerly resided in St. Marys and his friends will he glad to see his case • sidered and bis innocence of the serious charge proved. A fatal accident happened to the 5 year old daughter of Chris Hazen, of Kartz- ville, Wallace township. While her mother was at an adjoining farm for a pail of water the little girPselothes caugbt fire in some manner. When the mother returned the child's clothes were almoat entirely burned off her.. The • little girl was frightfaly burned and died a few hours afterward. •e At:the auction stele on the farm of the late James Gardiner, Hibbert, on Wed- nesday last, Mr Wm. Ward, of Fullerton, a very enterprising yonng map purchased the farm ol. 150 acres, for 06:340. The stook • sold exceptionally well for this season. The whole sale realized abent 18,000. Mr. 'John Kay, of.Fargnharesand Wm. Dinnen, of Lumley, followed the farm to the last, but the Fullerton man seemed to like the place too well to be easily knocked out. Thomas Cameron, of Farquhar, wielded the auctioneer's ham- mer, quite acceptably. In former years the St. Marys town - auditors have received in payment for their services the sum of $25 each. This year the town fathers thought that this was too large a salary and fixed the salaries at 415 each afterwards raising it to $20. The auditors allege that the salary was not fixed till after they begun their duties and that in consequence they de- cline to Itecept e20 each. Suit has been commenced on behalf of the auditors againet the town, the Collegiate Destitute and Public School boards for $90 being $50 for auditing the town accounts and t)20 each for auditing the C. 1 and P. .5. ac- counts; The case will come up for hear- ing at the Division 'Court on the 145h of Novenaber.
