Dollar wheat took its depar- t tune some years ago, and it is only by accident that it occasionally returns. Miss Phillips who has been spending ' the past surniner here with Mrs.(Dr.) ' Lutz, returned to Sarnia, onridgy last. She was accompanied b Mrs, Lutz, who visited there fora fes days, Chief deputy game warden Willmott, of the Muskoka district, reports to the chief, E. Tinsley, Toronto, that pros- pects for deer hunting were never better, and he never saw the animals so numerous. The recent rains brought welcome relief to the entire communitynearthe swamps, putting out nearly all the bush fires in the neighborhood. The smoke during the past few weeks caused a great deal of discomfort. Miss Millie Aiken, formerly of God- erich Collegiate Institute, has returned to St. Mary's from England, where she has spent the summer, and after pending a few days at home left gain for Toronto to attend the Uni- ersity. A. McD. Allen, of Goderich, has been experimenting to prevent the blight on pear trees, and says that the results this year prove that liberal ap- plications of land salt on the ground will be found an effective remedy. It cextainly is easy to try it. Paul Madge and Sam'l Palsmore left for Lake Smith, Wednesday, on a hunting and fishing expedition. Although usually not very successful in the game line, we hope Paul may this time succeed in bagging` a Lair share. .

Tse D AsijwooDoD MAIL, .-- Almost dailv complaints reach us from the residents along the Lake Road, of the great inconvenience wrought the gen- eral pabi e by the change in maul service between Exeter and Dash- wood, Why this route was suspend- ed we have never learned the reason, but, would have thought we had Lib- erals in this section with sufficient in- 1 fluence to induce the government to allow the service to remain as it has been for years, especially when it was a popular and largely used route. Business .demands this service and why ean't we have it restored, TIIE POTATO CROP. -The potato crop this season will in all probability be very light. When this year's new potato first came in, it was supposed that the crop would be bountiful ate the yield per hill was large, and the pota- toes were good ^size. But for the past few weeks reportshave been very bad. It seems that both dry and wet rot has seized them and the prospects in consequence are that the price will go up considerably. A farmer advises people not to dig their potatoes, in the hope of avoiding the rot, as one or two rotten ones in the bin will disease the whole lot. He says to let thein stay in the ground and though many will rot the remainder will keep well, • RAILWAY LAWS, -- People often cause trouble to themselves and the railway by not familiarizing theru- selyes with the railway laws ; for in- stance, persons who bold return tick- ets imagine that they can start on the return journey and drop off at inter- vening stations. They cannot legally do so; if they holdan ordivaryfull fare ticket far any distance over 50 miles, going one way, they can stop over as often as they wish, providing thatthey ;o inform the conductor. For instance uppose a passenger held a ticket from sere to Toronto he could start hisjour ney and stop off at every intervening station, if he wanted to. But this can- not be done on an excursion return ticket,. The Grand Trunk has issued a circular to shippers on their line, an- nouncing the stoppage of the privilege of completing the loading of a through car at some way point. Hereafter a train will be stopped for lumber, grain and live stock ou]y, and an additional charge will be made for theservice. HOUSE OF REFUGE NOTES. -Mr. and Mrs. Carl, of Exeter, arrived at the House Thursday. -One of the female inmates is aged 95 years, and she is nearly as active as a girl of 20. She is in good health, and may live for a con- siderable time. She came here from Goderich, which, by the way, is re- sponsible for twelve of the inmates. - Mrs. McKeg, of Goderich, who has been bed -fast for about ten months owing to an accident, is gradually sinking, and cannot last much longer. She has always been one of the happi- est and most patient inmates, and death has no terrors for her, -At pres- ent there are 77 inmates, which is actually more than the House has proper accommodation for, and there are several here and elsewhere who should be inmates. In schools, etc.,it is held that every scholar should have 1,- 000 feet of eir;the inmates at the House have only 325 feet, and it will be seen that this is not by anymeans up to sanitary requirements. -The latest ad- dition to the inmates is an idiot named Bindley, of Goderich, he is a harmless youth who occupies most of his time playing with a strip of cloth, but seem- ingly he has not anatom of sense. Clinton New Era. Edward Horsman, the insolvent Grigg house man of London, shows as- sets of $12,000, including fixtures and furniture and his liabilities of $11,000. Wm. Robinson, of Elirnvilie, who has been in the hospital for five months through an acute attack of appendicit- is, returned home on Wednesday, much improved but it will be some time before he will be fully recover- ed. Mrs. McKay, of Exeter north, picked a bunch of grapes from vines in her garden, on which she counted 65 grapes. The same lady is also the possessor of a hen, which last week, laid an egg measuring Ci inches round and 8 inches long. Mr. Brewer, of Clinton, went to the station the other day to see Mrs. Brewer's mother safely on the train, which started before he could get safe- ly off ; he fell violently on the gravel, having his face scratched, and was fortunate that his injuries were not more severe. Wm. Leigh. who has taught the scholars of the Kirkton school for a number of, years, has resigned, and will devote his energies to farming, which he has carried on for years, working the farm morning and even- ing and during the day teaching the young ,mind how to shoot. The trustees want a successor. firE R. Pickard Co.

Have used doctors' medi- cines but could not get cured. I have used five boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and am now cured. You may publish this if you choose."
