It, is to he hoped that the requir- ed assistance will be forthcoming, and that a place of such present and pros- pective importance will not be left long without religious ordinances. __nur, Patrick O'Brian, of the 2nd 'concession of Hay, is the possessor of a heifer about 15 months old which has never had, a calf, but which is milking. This curious circumstance is probably due to its having been sucked by other eaves. This case is less remarkable than that noticed several, months ago, wherein a tame rabbit, owned by Mr. Southerley, a the fifth concession, gave birth to Et litter of young, not one of which had a head, but which were otherwise full grown. -The Brussels cheese factory start- ed late and ran a little over four and a half months, on a small scale. Manu- factured 418,000 lbs. milk, producing 41,000 lbs. of cheese which has 'been sold. at an average of over 8a per lb., except the Sept. and Oct. cheese, which has been shipped to Liverpool, and not yet -realized on, but which is expected to realize equally as much, if not more than the cheese sold. This is consid- ered equal to 15c per lb for butter after paying all expenses. -McRoberts, who a short time ago was arrested in •Berlin by Constable Gill, of Exeter, and committed to God- erich jail to await his trial for embezzle- ment, was brought to Exeter on Mon- day of last week to stand his trial on a charge of forging a signature to a note. After hearing some of the evidence, the trial was postponed till Tuesday, when the prisoner was committed for trial. The plaintiff in the case was Mr. Re- gan, of the Brownson line, township of Hay. The note for $40, the signature of which is said to have been forged, was in O'Neil's Bank for collection. A note against the same person was sent by the Molson's Bank to the Exeter, branch for collection some time ago,' but the person whose signature it bore refused to pay it, and pronounced it a forgery. The note was sent to Lon- don, and returned to Exeter by request of Constable Gill, when a, telegram was received requesting the note to be re- turned, which was done, and we under- stand that tne note' has been paid by some one, brit not by Regan. -On Friday, the 22nd ult., Mrs. John McMahon, of the township of Hay, ac- companied by her daughter, set out for an Inlian camp somewhere in the vi- cinity of Staulake's mills, with the ob- ject of purchasing some wooden ware. On arriving at the camp she found that the Indians had none of the required. goods ready, but kindly offered to make them. if she would wait, which she con- cluded to do. -On leaving the camp at a late hour they took a short cut for home, entering the swamp at a place called the "Garden of Paradise," and after wandering around in the rain list- lessly until -Nato the skin, they came out just where they entered. They then took the high road, and soon reached home. In the meantime the family became alarmed, and assisted by all the inhabitants of the Blind line arrived with guns, horns, lanterns, dogs, &c., making a tumult like an Indian war dance or a wedding serenade, went in search of the missing ones, returning at midnight utterly disgusted, to find the lost had. returned, and with the excep- tion of wet clothes, scratched faces and the loss of an umbrella, were safe and sound. General News. A. son and daughter of Rev. Canon Anderson, of Montreal, died of typhoid fever on Saturday and Monday respec- tively. -There were 74 deaths in Montreal last week, nine of which were Protes- tants. Two died of diphtheria and 23 of small -pox. -A. Woodstock clergyman caused an almost audible smile to pass around hiS congregation on Sunday by remarking quite innocently that Sir John A. Mac- donald needed praying for. Nor was he mistaken. -Charles Freckleton, a Wardsville hotel keeper, has got into trouble. On Thanksgiving Day he went into a nil - hard room in the' village, kept by Arthur Seaman, and. with some friends drove the proprietor out and took possession of ; the premises. Some of the party had. revolvers, and enlivened - the proceedings by shooting those off in the streets, to the great terror of the residents. Fer this offence • a warrant was sworn out against Freckleton, and. he was arrested. The parties charged with the masked burglary at Rayners', West Flamboro', have received their sentence after a protracted trial in Hamilton. The prisoners who - were arrested. were named MeTaggart, ReSsell, Moore, Hoare, Knox and Brophy, all of whom had pleaded guilty. His Worship, in passing sentence, said that though the crime committed by all the prisoners was equally -10, there were circum- stances connected with the case which enabled him to draw comparisons. The crime was a most serious one and. the result might possibly have ended in murder. It was said that Hoare had planned it, but the prisoner denied that, and it seemed as if McTaggart had. been the leading spirit, He should sentence MeTaggart, Ressel and Moore to five years in the Penitentiary; Hoare to three years, and Knox and Brophy, in consideration of their having elven evi- dence, to* nine months in the Central Prison. Tho relatives and friends of the prisoners were deeply affected on the announcement of the sentence. The farewell between Rossel and his sister- in-law and niece was particularly touching, and many people appeared. to feel deeply the position in which the prisoners were placed. • Perth Items. Mr. Walter Tbornpson, of Mitchell, made a sale of $10,000 worth of oat - mealiest week. It goes to Liverpool. -A. complimentary supper was given Dr. McGrath, of Mitchell on the eve of his departure for Arthur, where he is about to take up his residence. -Mr.- and -Mrs. J. T. Hicks, of the Ricks House, Mitchell, celebrated the tenth anniversary of their marriage by a large social party, on the evening of the 2nd, inst. -One day last week Mr. James Dougherty, who resides in the neigh- borhood of Poole, was attacked by a rALC1, which struck him below the knee, breaking his leg. -The general prayer meeting held in the Town Hall, Mitchell, on Wednes- day night of last week, was so largely attended that some could. not gain an. entrance. The several addresses de- •.• • livered were of an Instructive and. effec- tive character, and the services through- out very impressive. A good collection was taken up for the benefit of the peer of the town. -Perth to the fore again. 'The en- terprising dairy man, T. Ballantyne, M. P.P., of Stratford, has won 1st and 2nd prizes for Canadian cheese at the In- ternational Dairy Fair in New York. -Mr. W. G. Hay, of Listowel, has secured a -contract from the Grand Trunk Railway Company, to deliver 10,000 railway ties, part to be de- livered at Stratford and part at Brant- ford. Auction Sales.
