portant in thediocese, eontaining as it does
some nine hundred faroilies, This number_

the completion of the -March now in course
of construction at Dublin, but it will still
remain a very extensive charge. It is also
said that Father West will be made Dean,
-in-sum/ohm to the late Father Murphy.
These • reports may not prove to be quite
correct, but they go to show that in the
estimation of his people and the public in
general, who know of this popular priest,
that he is well worthy of promotion.
-Our old friend Mr. James Bulger, of the
North Gravel road, Mors, writes, as fol-
lows : ” I will give yoo a few particulars
concerning a piece of wieek which has just
been completed in the township of Morris,
viz., the moving of a Win, 40x50 feetefairly
heavy timber; from myresidence to the fifty

ily along, down grade and up grade, without
a kink or a oatoh, arriving at the eud. of its
journey not much worm; from the trip and
only two or three loose braces. E any town-
ship in the county can beat this I would like
to hear,"
-In a recent electric storm Mr. J. W.
Hupfer's dwelling, Wroxeter, was struck by
lightning. Not a brick of the west chim-
ney was left in its plece, and one of the
stove pipes had a inch hole in diameter.
The electrieiby passed eiong the attic and
down between the partition and , tore the
plaster off. It than caught the electric wire
and went' outside. Curtains and blinds
were burned. The heir of Mr. Hupfer's
daughter, Maggie, wan singed. Mrs. Hup-
fer was sitting at the window at the time of
the dash. The loss is elovered by insurance,
which Mr. Hupfer had placed only a week
before, The lightningfollowed the wire
down street, and destroyed generators op-
posite the Walker House and near the poet -
office. The damage to the electric light
company is from $80 to $150.

Jeeseet cow whose reoo d for a time of test
is worth noting. She bears the name of

During a week of seve days, from June 2nd
to 8th, she gave 259 pa nds of milk. This
made eighteen pound and ten ounces of
butter, when weighed eady for the market.
This was thirty-seven pounds of milk per
day; fourteen pounde if the milk making
one pound oi butter. he had been milking
sixty-one days; is our years old, and
weighe 820 pounds. d r. Howson says she
would have teeted bet er, only that the cir-
cus camped near by, a •eduring the excite-
ment she dropped foi r pounds of milk a

says : "Reports sent from every section of
the Province show that the hay orop in al-
most every township is a total failure, ow-
