Never in the history of she past 14 ex- hibitions held at NValkertou have the proapeots looked so bright and so eerly in the season for such a grand exhibition of Live Stook, Agricultural and Dairy Produots, Fruit, Vegetables and Ladies' Work, Fine Arts, etc., etre, nor have the list of attrautiona been so varied and entertaining as the present season's. The program put be- fore the many patrons, of the Northern in this distriot this year is larger and better than ever. Nowhere outside of Toronto or London Gen be found an ex- hibition equal in attractiveness and in- struotion to the Northern. Those who have patrouized •tho Northern in the past, know that their many and remuner- ative prizes draw it large field of corn. pothers and bringe out the closest Dom - petition in the different classes, especial- ly intLive stock and speeding in the ring, while the list of attractions easily downs the bill of fare presented by any rival inetitution in this district, and we are oontideut will setisfy the most 'fastidious of the novelty loving public, and a large same of whose patronage the Northern will justly be sure to retain.

On Monthly morning the eyee of the good yeoman WOM more than wide open when he beheld another mil sucking the cloys. She had given birth to it during the night. A most remarkable ease, which has baffled all mediaal skill, and which is maid to be without a precedent, in the pereon of e healthy and strong middle- aged farmer resieing near Teeswater, has come to light. One side of this gentle. manes face will not permit him to place in his mouth any meat, no matter how fine it bas been preparee ; eggs be can eat, bet mills he Gannet drink ; wetter he can drink, and broad he can est. The alllieted side of hie fare will spurn any objectionable food as a ohild would meth- oine. No 08000 000 be found for it, and the effect is not at all pleasant. A Leamington young man, whose name for the present will be McGinty, had a thrilling, if not espy interesting, exper- ience the other night. It was about the midnight hour and intensely dark, when he was walking along the NI. C. R. brook near Comber. He heard a brain coming thundering along behind him and in order to prevent any injury befalling the engine be decided to climb the fence and remain in the field till the train passed by. It WAS a high barbed wire fenee and after a desperate struggle with this Mc- Ginty reached the top wire and banteced himself for a gentle spring, expecting to alight on terra firma. He leaped and went down, down, down, in fact, he says today that he feels as though he were still going down. He was in a tank which, ha says, is 00 feet deep, 15 feet in dissenter and filled with water to within 3 feet of the top. Fortunately tha walls of the tank were made of log °rib- bing and after a long climb he reached top not much the worse, and perhaps a little better, for his trip. DISTRICT COUNCIL It. T.
