London's Big Fair. The "great holiday outing of Western Ontario" ie a phrase that some one once bestowed upon the Weetern Pair of Lou. don, and as the years go by the descrip- tion seems to become more and more fit- ting. Bat it ie more than a mere holi- day. It ie educational is its nature. No man with hie eyes and ears open can visit the Western Fair without seeing something to wbioh be had heretofore been a stranger. while the improvements on old methods, the improved methods of agrioniture and the higher grade of stook and cattle all combine to show the rapid advance being made in Western Ontario and to demonstrate that we in this sec. tion are fully abreast with the rest of the world. The entries for this year denote a large exbibit, and space should be se - oared without delay. The speeding in the ring, ae usual, will be one of the most attraotive pastimes, and this will be made doubly so by the engagement of the greatest coterie of high salaried eoro- baee, gymnasts and aerialists that ever appeared in one combination in Canada, while novelty is added by the introduc- tion of a full troupe of educated perform• ing elephants. The fireworks display will be on a grander scale than ever, and will include a striking and novel repre- sentation of the "Fall of Cliina" and "Taking of Pekin," together with the most brilliant illumination and electrical effeote ever before seen on tbe grounds. Speoial train service is being arranged over all railroads to leave London after the fireworks. None should mise this home exposition which can be so easily visited and at so little expense. Huron County. In the township of Tuokeremitb, on the Brumfield road, Friday afternoon, wvitneesed a most distressing rpectaele—a large orowd of stalwart fa, mere etanding by unable to do anything to save one of the finest beck barna in the dietriot with all thio season's oropa to date, from burn• ing to the ground. A. strong wind was blowing and the flames enveloped the entire building in a very short time. The barn was the property of Mrs. Mc- Laren, a widowed lady. The fire was mused in a very peculiar manner. The farm hands were engaged in patting some of the crops into the baro by means of bay fork, when one of wheels of tbe pulley became so heated through friotion that it dropped a :spark right into the grain, which immediately caught lire. In a minute the flames raged like a fnrnaoe and the men were obliged to flee for their lives, leaving the horses where they stood. The poor creatures were burned to death. Mooh sympathy ie extended to hire. Mo. Laren in her serious lose. Perth County. Mise Ida Steele, daughter of Dr. Steele, V. S„ Ontario street, Stratford, has had an intereebing experience with a needle. Last Summer, while sewing, she swallow. ed a needle, and, not feeling any after- effeote, paid no farther attention to the episode. The young lady noticed a pimple on one of her koeee, wbioh on ex. amination disclosed the eye of a needle, whioh was working ire way out. On be. ing extracted the needle was fresh and bright lookiog ae though it had never been need. How it could pass through the body and appear in the knee ie a puzzler. Residents South of the station, Strat- ford, are wondering whether it can be poeeible.that a venomous snake escaped from the Ringling circus and is now at large in the big field and adjacent swamp where the °Irene tante stood. At any rate, if the Aortas are true, there ie a snake, and e big one, down that way. The story goes that a pony, which was paeturing in the field, was severely bitten in the leg. A day or e0 later a young boy wbo was wandering around in the field ran (throes a good-sized snake, whiob bit him near the knee. Promp medical attention averted any ill results. The last, seen of hie enakeehip was on Sunday of teat week, when the same boy and a companion oaugbt a glimpse of him mak- ing his way aoroee the field. The boys were too frightened to make any attempt to capture the reptile. An aooident happened at the barn raising of Thee. Shore, lot 10, con. 4, Ellice, Friday, whioh may ,yet prove fatal.

Bloomfield, wbo Is engaged with Wm. McCaffrey, of Ellice, was etruok on the side 01 the head by the beam and knocked against a big atone.
