At Lueknow Fall Fair, Kenneth Cameron, of Wawanbsh, was succeee- ful in winning 12 firsts and 2 second prizes out of 14 entries of apples. The customs receipts at Clinton for the six months ending Sept. 30 were $14,540.50, an increase over the corres• ponding period of last year of $358.88. James Powell alias James Williams was arrested in Walkerton last week as a deserter. Powell deserted the 76th Battalion while training at Niag- ara. A little twelve -year old girl was taken to Walkerton and placed in care of the Children's Aid Sodiety, She was slightly deranged and the child will have to be sent to an insane asylum. A serioue accident occurred to (leo.. `Faegan, son of John Faegan of Col. borne Township on Wednesday after- noon. The young man was assisting in cutting co.n for a silo when he got his left hand, caught in the ka lives, severing bis hand at the wrist. By the death of Mrs. James Howson in her 85th year,Clinton louses another of its oldest and most respected resi- dents. For some years Mrs. Rawson and her daughter lived together on Albert street. In addition to her daughter several sons survive her. On Tuesday morning, Sept, 28th, at 0 p.m„ Herbert Albert Lippert, furni- ture manufacturer of Berlin, Ont„ was married to Miss Bell Genevieve Jones, school teacher, daughter of Mrs, Jones and the late John William Jones, by the Rev. P. Corcoran, in St, James Church, Seaforth. The Commercial Hotel, Seaforth, had a narrow escape from a serious fire at noon on Monday, when the floor under the large kitchen range caught fire from the range. The fire• men had difficulty locating the blaze and were obliged to tear up the floor before the fire could be extinguished. An interesting event occurred at the home of Mr. Alex. McKenzie,: Tees - water, on Sat., Oct. 0 h, when Mr. McKenzie and bis good wife celebrated their diamond wedding. They were presented by the citizens of the town with a purse of gold and and address, which was read by Dr. M. H. (dillies. Among the winners in the matricu- lation scholarships announced by the senate of the University of Toronto is Mies F. A. Smith, of Godevicb, 0, L, who wine the' Mathews scholarship, the gift of Wilmont D. Mathews, E -q , of the value of $100, with free tuition for two years, of a total value of $180' The Misner Manufacturing Com• pany of Qoderich gave a quantity of toilet specialties to the cause of the Red Cross Society d e eri n g the recent Qoderich fair. The sale netted the society over k100. A mem- ber of the firm states that the com• pany is open to make offers to other local Red Cross Societies. • Thos. Kyle of Hay Township, was before Police Magistrate' Andrews last week at Clinton, on a charge of per• jury in connection with the notorious Bender liquor ease and on pleading guilty was sentenced to ten days in Qoderich jail. The magistrate told Kyle that bed it not been for his fam- ily the sentence would have been much more severe. The Indians of the Southampton Resehve, a few of which were pulling flax In Wingham vicinity for Tipling and Mills, have contributed $500 to the Patriotic Fund. The members of the Andrew Mal- colm Furniture Company at Kincar- dine were not forgotten by the late Andrew Malcolm as was evidenced on Saturday,' pay day in, the factory. Mr, Malcolm's will provided that every man who bad been in bis em- ploy from one year to Live years would receive one week's pay. Every man from five to ten yearswas to i eceive 2 week' pay and from ten years up three weeks' pay, Tne fortnightly pay envelopes of the' employees were supplemented by these amounts, It is needless to say that the men highly esteemed their late employer Mr. Malcolm also donated $2,000 to Queen's College, Kingston, to establish a scholarship. Mr, and Mrs. Angus McKinnon of Langside received a letter from their son, Wm. M., elating that he was then in Holland. Mr. McKinnon Jr„ ie a very cleyer chartered accountant and it appears ,hat' the firm with which he has for some time been en- gaged is doing some investigating for the British Government. Among other thins they investigated the business of the manufacturing con- cerns in neutral `countries in order to discover whether they are sending goods to Germany or Auetria, mann- facturers we waysuppose to whom the British aro permitting imports of raw material from overseas. It is on a job of this kind that young Mr. Mc- Kinnon is engaged at present in Rol- and. At Port Elgin Fair, a bevy of pretty young ladies were busy collecting money for the noble Red Cross work' One young'lady approached an elderly man with the request, "Won't you please give us something toward help- ing our soldiers?" In an instant tears ran down the man's cheek and in tones subdued and chastened by deep sor- row -he said, "My dear. I have given a good deal, I have just received word that my son had died for his country." The scene was touching and pathetio. Sympathy at once came into the face of the fair collector and she too mingled her tears of sorrows with those of Mr. Lotus Mouck of South- amptont whose boy had been reported dead. With the Kinloss nand atilt fresh on h i m , Constable Joseph Armstrong came into Walkerton on Monday heat- ed from running down the latest sen- sation, It seems that last week a lady's dress and 2 waists were found hanging on a rail fence opposite Struthers' lake near the centre of the big swamp, through which the lone road on the 10th. of Sinless rune. As the tracks showed that a horse and buggy had been there and had backed out and gone away again, suspicions of a criminal assault, followed by murder or suicide, overcame all who saw the eight and the wildest kind of rumors followed. Dragging and looking down into ,the muddy waters of the lake for a body were some of the antics gone through, While the excitement was in mid - volley, Constable Armstrong, w h o was scenting around for a clue, heard that a woman had lost some clothes out of a buggy, and on further in- quiry was unable to unravel t h e thystexy by learning that a man, who had found thetu on the road, had driven up and hung them on the fen.:e overlooking the lake. It was a gal. lent act, but the man little knew the trouble he was hatching.—Bruce Times. Mrs. °brie, Blackwell, Purple Grove, and Mise Ida Stewart narrowly escap- ed severe injuries on Thursday, They were driving a short distance south of Kincardi nehen w the horse became frightened at an automobile, and in its struggles the buggy was overturned and its occupants were thrown to the ground. Painful bruises were inflicted, but fortunately without serioue re- sults. Contributions by Qoderich citizens to the patriotic fund in a two days' canvass fully realized the highest hopes of the collectors and "broke the mercury" of a thermometer erected outside headquarters to indicate the progress of giving, The gifts totaled $12,541, which altogether with the $5,000 granted by the town, will make a grand total of over $17 000. A few contributions are yet to be received. The report of a miraculous escape 1 from death by lightning came from Vickers, a station bn the 0,'l?. few miles from Durham. Lightning struck the house in which Mies Short, the village teacher, boards, and the current passed down to the sofa on which she was sitting, Mies Short teas badly injured about the limbs and breast. Her clothet caught fire and she received some serious Burne, but the medical men say that she will recover. Prompt assistance extln- rz nished the 1 tntes h was , The sofa shattered and a dog which was lying underneath was instantly killed by the Current.)

EXCITEMENT IN ENGLAND Dr, Parker received the following letter last week from a relative who is a nurse in one of the Canadian Hospi- tals in England, Sept. 9th, 1915. We had the Zeppeline over last ni8ht and the night before. Last night was the worst, it was something dreadful, You have no idett the aw- ful feeling it gives one, I went to bed about 9.45 and was not long there wiaen I heard fir e engines tearing by, and then Kroh a bring! One bang after another they came. I jumped up, put on my dressing gown and slippers and ran down. The rest of the nurses( and a couple of patients were anenabled in the hall with all lights out. One of • the other nurses and myself went out on the road to watch and could see one Zeppelin quite plainly, (they are made of aluminum -and age lit hy elec- tric light). Then we saw shel:s bure ing round on every side fired from our guns. It was awful, thousands of people were out watching. A lot of damage was done in the city, ever so many places were smash- ed in, omnibuses and trams blown up and people killed and injured 100 cas- ualities I hear, The Nurses' Home at St Bartholomesv's Respite' was struck. You can't imagine the feeling of ex- citement there ie. To -night we all -made up to go on the roof and watch as we were told thirteen Zeppelins were corning, eo we had rugs, cush- ions, applee, pears, plume, grapes, nuts and lastly tea out there, seven of us. We stayed out till 12.30 but so far none have arrived and we have come in to bed, I don't feel like sleep- ing, so am writing this." Brussels Rey. B. H.

Considering, the credit of Great Britain and France and the terms on which before the war they could obtain :oans in their own markets the rate of interest ttid commission might seem high by •solnparison but in his opinicn the loan lad been negotiated upon a basis as 'r,ir as could be expectEl having re- ard to war conditions and the fact .tat it was being obtained in. a foreign ountry. "This is no time," he said, "to un 'illy haggle ever eighths and six- -entits and other vulgar fractions -he main thing is to get the money end the Commission have got it" Nov. Canada Cene€its Asked if it was true that the pro seeds of the, loan would all have tc .0 spent in United States Mr. White aid that the official statement so in ;icated. He said the American bank ,rn purchasing the securities had ne :oubt insisted that as the loan was ;aing made by United States til: noney should be spent there.

Chief Engineer Weller is. authority for the statement that. the Welland Ship Canal„ now in course of con- struction, from an engineering point of ki,ew rivals the Panama Canal. Those familiar with the geography of the peninsula will readily credit Chief WeJler's statement. But there is another regard, and a most import- ant one, in which tho Welland Canal (1058 not rival the Panama Canal, but far excels it, that is in the amount of trade it carries. American papers Published a few weeks ago a at;tte- ment of six months' business on the Panama. J. L. Payne, comptroller of statistics at Ottawa, gives a state- ment covering a, like period .of six months on the Welland Canal. The comparison is: Total of vessels pass canal, 3,314; Panama Canal, 496; total tonnage, Welland Canal, 3,484,- 327; Panama Canal,' 2,367.,2 14. The liumber•of-vessels to pass through the Welland Canal in six mouths is al- most seven ti::@e that of the Panama, and the clrgo tonnage is 50 per cent. greater, When the ship canal is completed it will permit the passage up and down of the largest lake freighters.
