I WILD CAT. --!Asa coapie of boys were going omit "of town a few days ago, they saw what they Wok to be a wild •cet. The alarm \Ill's soon given to the sportsmen of the village, and fifteen or • , twenty men and. boys were In pursuit in a few minutes. The gime was first noticed in a tree, but on seeing the hunters it ran down, crossed a couple of fields, jumped a couple of fences and ran under the school house. The ex- citement was now intense. Alas! they had no dog ,to go under the school house. What was to be done? Why, get one, of course. So a couple of pe-- destrians were despatched but the dogs were all gone; none to bo found any- where. After quite a delay, a few boys crawled in through the window and hammered on the floor. Out ran the monster. In hot pursuit wient the company. The wild cat's days are numbered; he runs under a log with I the thought that he might as well be killed as scared to death. "Bang goes the gun. The game "turns its toes up." In the last scene the huntsmen are standing around the game wondering if the cat is really 'wild or not, when they are interrupted, by a gentleman coming up behind them with the ex- clamation,. "It's father's- cat; the best' cat on the line!" Pear old fellow. It was rathercurious that nearly half of the village hated to show their faces the next day. Varna.

BASE BILL MATCH. -The match on Saturday last between the White Stock- ings of Carmunock, and. the Silver Ma- ples of of this -place for the Champion- ship cup of the County, resulted in an easy victory for the home club. Consider- able interest was manifested over this game, it being generally believed that "-our boys" were going to lose the cup,. and we believe it wouldhave been much more closely contested„, had not our vis- itors been worn out with a long day's drive, while our *club was in excellent cendition. It is needless for us to at- tempt to criticise the, game as the score sufficiently indicates Opt somevery loose playing was indulged in by the White Stockings, and although the numerous spectators were somewhat disappointed in their playing the deficiency was fully l compensated ft or' by l efiir gentlemanly conduct and their dig ' ed submission to what they, no doubt, conscientiously believed to be arbitrary decisions, which caused the game to pass off -with the ut- most harmony. TMr. John Lamb, of. Seaforth, acted as untpire. He dis- charged the arduous duties of that thankless office to the entire satisfaction of every one present. The following is the score: Innings. f 1 2 8 45 6 7 8 9 Carmunnocks..... 2 0 0 Q 0 0 2 3, 0- 5 Wroxeter 2 3 1 0 5 6 3 3 0-27 Umpire -John Lamb, Seaforth ; scorers -J. Den- nison,Carmunnock ; j. R.

Fortunately it was noticed in time by a couple of persons, who were going home from Seaforth, and the fire put out be- fore much damage was done. The barn was struck under the roof, and the lightning ran down the post into the ground. Beyond burning a brace and scorching the boards considerably, no further injury was done to the building. Had the fire gained any headway, the barn and adjoining buildings-9.MM* them a fine new barn finished last week -would have suffered very heavily. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. -A very unusual incident occurred on Saturday last, on the farm of Mr. Robert McMil- lan, 3rd concession of MeRillop, near Roxboro. Mr. 'McMillen's son was en- gaged in drawing manure from the barn yard. During the forenoon he noticed that a heap of manure which had been thrown from the horse stable boa been smoking, but paid little attention to it until after dinner, when he was passing it going to the iitable for his horses. The Volume of smoke issuing from it he thought u33.U8Ual., and stood Ito look at it Just as he was thus engaged, the entire heap burst into a blaze of flame, some loose dry straw on the top igniting and burning veryrapidly. Fortunately there was a well near by, and aided by two of his sisters who had ben attract- ed to the spot by his cries r help, the flames were soon extinguished without any serious damage having been done. Had the fire occurred at night, or at any time when no person 'was afrOund, it -is every way probable that the entire buildings and their contents would have been destroyed, as everything in tae barnyard was very dry, and the flames weuld have spread so rapidly -that not h- g could have stay -ed them'. We con- atulate Mr. McMillan on his narrow e cape from heavy loss, and at the same ti4ne advise farmers to frequently ex- ailnine their manure heaps and see thattr t ey are not over -heating.

Mr. Turner died at the residence -of, his daughter, on the 5th inst. He was in. his 58th year. Cancer in the stomach was the cause of his death. He had been a resident of the township for over 30 years, and by his quiet, unassuming, but kindly disposi- tion, won many warm, true friends. He was a good neighbor, a worthy citizen, and a sincere Christian. His wife died 1 some months ago, and her death was a sad blow to him, from which le never thoroughly recovered. • WAYSIDE NOTE s. -Fall wheat looks splendid; time has not been such a fine appearance for many years.
