—Mr Russell you will surely get a
hustle if you bustle as many cows into
pound again in one day as last Mon-
day.
GooD NEWS.—We are very glad to
state that Mr Thorningtoo, (of whom
we spoke last week) is, contrary to
expectations of friends and physi-
cians, again convalescent, and we
hope very soon to see nim walking
in our midst. -
VICE VERSA.— Wingham is to have
two days -horse racing next month.
They doubtless will bring quite a

Mr. Arch. Robertson, of the 10th
con., took his daughter Beatrice to
Halton, this week, as she was unwell
and thought a change of air would do
her good.
Word has been received of the death
of Annie second daughter d her of Andrew
Black, of Algoma, y ,consumption.
Andrew had trouble enough here, but
they seem to be mutiplied since he
went up there, as this is the second
death since moving, and others are
sick.
Wm. Vaocamp had the misfortune
to let his horses run away last Satur.
day with the mowing macnine. They
ran for about one hundred rods, and
before stopping they broke both drive
wheels, but did not do much other
damage. They ran twice through a
drove of cattle, but the cattle were a
number to our town, but yet we are-a!atnh.-fet. them.and..kept out of -the
of an opinion that there are many way.

town:more than horse racing. p.

horse last week to Mr D. Shanahan

being without such for more than Mrs Holder, of Detroit, isat res -
twelve months. On Thursday of p
last week a free social was held in the
basement of their church in order to
introduce the minister to congrega-
tion and friends.
WE HAVE YET PLENTY AND TO
SPARE.—By all accounts fruit was to
be very scarce this year. Doubtless
in this section of the country we will
be almost minus of pears, apples and
plums, but hitherto all other fruit
seems to be both plentiful and cheat,
each of our four restaurants keeping
a first class supply and variety.
• AN OLD FAMILIAR FRIEND.—Mr
Editor, we had a visit from your old
friend, Skedunk, the other day, and
in the course of conversation he said,
" That ere NEw ERA editor is a queer
kind of feller, isn't he ?" " Why," I
said, " what is the matter with him,
for 1 hold him in great esteem?'
" Well, yes," says he, " you may, buts
that's more than them ere Tory chaps
do, for:they say he's always worrying
them, and exposing their many sore
pieces to unsympathizing eyes."
Th$n he was just telling us how that
he liked Toronto better than Ottawa,
because at certain times of the year
you can find more honest men in the
former than in the latter,' when along
-comes •Mrs Skedunk, and off they
went to McKelvie's restaurant to have
a dish of ice cream. -
RATHER STRANGE, BUT TRUE.-
Last Sunday yolir humble servant
took a drive some fifteen:miles out
into the country, returning on Mon-
day. During his drive there were
three things noticed especially. In
the first place the abundant hay crop,
in the second place the •very encour-
aging appearance of the oats, peas
and roots, and in many cases may
add fall wheat, and in the Last place
we noticed the scarcity of apples and
pears. During the whole drive we
only saw two apples, but one remark-
able coincidence there is yet to state.
When we reached our destination,
and remarked about the last subject
mentioned, our friend said, " Yes, I
have but two apples in all my orchard,,
but that is as:many as my neighbors
have, with but one exception, for such
a one has an orchard whose trees are
loaded with'apples,pears and plums."
It seems strange that while the frost
stripped all the -trees in this vicinity
it should pass over that one little spot.
— The •way --it .can..'.be accounted for. -is.
that it is enclosed partly, by a high
ridge. Whether it caused this bene-
ficial effect remains yet to be proven,
but anyway the happy farmer has a
good crop in his orchard alone, this
season,
QUOT HOMCNEs HOT 'SENTENT'I(E.
—Trouble comes to all, and when
overtaken by such the subject should
net be open to criticism ,if the trouble,
which is in this case financial diffi-
culty, has not been brought on by
carelessness or improper management,
which we do not believe to have been
the case of the hitherto respected pro-
prietor of Wingham Woollen Mills.
But where the eritioism comes in is,
we think it very'hard that the em-
ployees' wages should have .been kept
arrearsas they have been. They
may eventually get their money, but
not just now, and some have not
enough money to take them to other
situations. But you say, why should
not the employ'4es suffer as well as
any one else? Well, sir, in many
cases (in fact most) an employee, de-
pends upon his daily labor for his
daily necessities, and if a smash
comes, why, what has he to fall back
upon. We have known cases where
the savings of years have been in-
vested in the firms of employers, and
every cent lost, the employee thrown
out of work, into debt and trouble,all
because he trusted his little all, with•
out one cent of interest, to that which
was not worthy his confidence. No,
sir, let all who labor for their living
get their money every week or every
month, and when bosses are unable
to pay such, we think it high time
that they should take down their
shingle.

with a Massey Mower, recently pur-
chased from J. Naegle, Auburn, and

damage done, but fortunately the build-
ing did not take ilre, otherwise the eon•
sequences would have been most serious.

WHO CAN VOTE.—The voter's list
for this township contains a total of
854 voters, of whom 426 are qualified
as jurors. In one division there are
no lees than 17 Joh»atons, and on the
whole list there aro 114 names com-
mencing with C, the names Cook,
Cantelon, Cox, Cole, Curry, Churchill
,and Connell occurring moat frequent-
ly. Usually names commencing with
M are put by themselves, and those
with Mc the •same, but in this list
this is not followed throughout, but
we do not suppose it will make any
material difference. Every' person
who wants to exercise his franchise
should not leave it to hisfriendsto
see if his name is properly on the
list, but should look after it himself
within one month from the posting
up of the lista, in this instance the
29th of July being the date.

Miss Nellie Gregory, •returned to
her home in Exeter, on Monday last,
after spending a pleasant week on the

Messrs Robert Sprung and John
Knelt, of the base line, shipped, last
Saturday, 16 as fine brood mares as
any one could wish to see, for Mani-
tou, Manitoba. They went by boat
from Goderich; seven of the hdrse had
written pedigees..
Mr August Stephens, 'of the 13th
con., has a row of poplar trees across
the front of his farm, that presents
a very handsome appearance. They
are all trimmed the same height and
are nearly of the same shape. Many
farmers might improve the fronts of
their farms by trimming their trees
in a similar manner. Some farmers
have taken great pains in planting
maples,jbut have left them all heights
and sizes. A tall tree which has had
its roots cut is very liable to die if left
to be shaken by the winds,
MASQURRADING. —It is saidethough
we will not vouch for the truth of the
report, that a young bachelor, who
resides on the Huron road, wished to
go to a party a short time since, and
as be did not wish . to go alone and
several young ladies had said no to
his proposals for their company, he
bit upon a plan and dressed up a
yot ng man -in -lady's attire, but they
were exon found out and were glad to
get away without a good scathing
which they deserved.
tiTItiL ANOTHER.—The blonde lady
and the yogng man with the black
moustache and plug hat,who cut such
a dash the other evening, were two
young ladies. Look out ladies there
is one among ye taking notes.
,LosT.—On the .18th of July 3 small
boys, aged 8, 10 and 12, while pick-
ing berries wandered from one patch
to another, hunting berries, until it
became near dusk, but could not get
their pails filled so they thought they
must start for -home, On going
J.hrough a hay field of Mr William
Morris they got loot in the long hay,
and so wandered through and through
but could not find their way out and
stayed in it all night. These boys
hadnotrbeenaused to pray but thought
if they would ask the Lord He would
direct their path, but they could not
do this, and so found their way out as
best they could, and got home the
next day about noon ; they de not
want to go bury picking again.

NOTES. -- Mr C. Nivins, school
teacher, of Rosseau, is at present vis-
iting friends here. We might almost
imagine that part of the attractions
for Charlie in Dungannon was gone.
Mies Etta Leich and brother Ed-
gar, of Point Edward, have been vis-
iting friends here, the guest of Mrs
Echlin. Mr James Mallough met
with rather a severe loss a short time
ago by the death of a fine mare valued
between $175 and $200. She took
inflamation and though medical help
was, there she quickly succumbed ;
this is the second loss, having lost a
fine mare valued at $200 a few months
previous. Mr A. McNevin has been
visiting friends at the old homestead,
prior Willis leaving to take a situaticn
inBrantford as miller. Mr T. Ander-
son is having his •house undergoing
a thorough repairing and several
other houses are being erected; Mr J.
Bowers is also efecting a new house.

BAD FRACTURE.—We regret, to
learn that es Miss Maggie riolmes
was @ngaged in picking cherries one
day last week, she fell from the tree,
fracturing one of her hips and dislo-
cating her shoulder. She will be dis-
abled forssome time.
FIRE.—On Sunday evening last
our village was suddenly aroused from
its quietude by the alarm of fire, It
was soon evident that Mr C. Disney's
stable was struck by lightning. Mr
Disney himself was sitting in the
house at the time, and on observing
the fire hastened to the Building, but
the fire spread so rapidly that he had
barely time to release his four horses,
A calf and a hog were consumed in
the flames. His buggy, wagon, har-
ness and seeder,as well as many other
articles, were destroyed. •Fortunately
the barn and stable were covered by
insurance in the London Mutual.

mouths in Louisiana„is home for a
few weeks, but in the fall will again
go south. One day last week as Mr
Wm. Homuth was unloading hay
with a hayfork, they went a little too
far, pulling out, the purline plate,
Fall wheat harvest is now well under-
way and a few days now will see the
greater part of it cut; the crop of
straw is very heavy, but the rust has
very materially damaged the quality
of the grain, and greatly reduced the
yield per acre ; this a great disap-
pointment as thearea;sown was much
greater than usual.

OBITUARY.-Thonlge Mcl_ntyre,,to
e stileject of this obituary, and of whom
brief reference was made last week',
d peacefully passed away to his eternal
f reward at his own residence in the
. township of Stanley, on July 22nd.
- He had been a great sufferer, and for
e years -he hardly knew what real health
was, but in all his bodily weaknesses
d• his mind remained firm to the last.
1 Mr McIntyre was a native of Ireland,
t 'born in the county of Fermanegh,and
a was, true specimen of an Irishman,
outspoken, plain and honest. When
, he was quite a lad bis lather died,
x leaving him'the principal support of
e his mother,which he was with all the
tenderness and affection of a good
f son. While yet young in years,
d thinking he was going to better his
circumstances, he migrated to Scot-
land where he got steady employment
e in a factory owned by a Mr J. P.
- Coats. 'It was there his mothea died
leaving him all alone in the world to
manage as beat he could. At about
thirty years of age he emigrated to
Canada, and was boon after united in
marriage to Sarah Walker, the only
daughter d Jas. Walker Esq., of the
County of Dundas. She more , than
proved a helpmate to him in the
trials and privations peculiar to the
life of the early settlers of this coun-
try. After spending some time in
Dundas engaged in lumber business
and procuring certain means he came
westward to this part and settled
down on the Babylon line in the
township of Stanly, in the year 1845.
For forty-four y ears he• lived in har-
mony and peace with all his neigh-
bors. Being one of the first settlers
in the township he knew what it was
to struggle against heavy'odds. Still
in the midst of all he was not un•
mindful of the duties and ol?tigations
he owed • to his God. During the
pastorate of the Rev. Bawtinheimer,
he joined the Wesleyan Methodist
church and for many years held some
of the most important offices in that
church, especially that of Sunday
School superintendent. He was a
man of strong temperance principles
and worked faithfully in that line
when an opportunity presented itself.
On the day of the last Scott Act vote,
although very weak and hardly fit to
be out, he drove all the way to the
Goshen line t2 cast his vote against
the petition to repeal the Act. He
leaves a wife and nib- children to
mourn his loss. 1 -Ie was blest with
ten of a family, three sons and seven
daughters, but one young daughter
went before to hail him on the other
shore. The funeral was largely, at-
tended, many comjug a long distance
to pay their last respect to an
friend' Ind neighbor. The service
was conducted in the house by the
Rev J. Hart, ;who took his text from
Phil. 1, 21 " To die,_ it' gain." The
remains were interred in the Bayfield
cemetery. The funeral was ably
managed throughout by his two near
neighbors, Messrs Andrew and Wm.
Keps, to whom the family are very
grateful for their great kindness be-
fore and after death. • Messrs John
Peck, E. Robinson, B. Keys,T, Boles,
J. B. Secord and I. Erratt were the
pall bearers. Mr McIntyre was a man
who endeavored to present a good
christian example before his neigh-
bors. We are sure he will be greatly
missed in the church and, in the
communityhome, , and above all in his

NorES.—Mrs John Million re-
turned from the Soo last week. Mrs
Thomas Gledhill is visiting friends
in Kincardine this week. Mr and
Mrs Bray, of Wroxeter, are renewing
old acquaintances in this vicinity this
week. Mr James Stewart, of Luck -
now, spent Sunday under the parent-
al roof. The many friends of Mrs. M.
P. Frammer will be glad to hear
that she is able to take an occasional
drive again., Miss E. Cornish, of
Mariposi, is spending a few weeks
visiting friends in this vicinity. Mr
Alber' 4lugford returned last week
from . grip through Dakota and Man-
itaba, his report of the crops there
beieganything but satisfactory. Mr
Will Moore, of Bowmanville, ia'spend
ing a few days here, the guest of his
uncle, Mr Wm. Moore, of Benmiller,
after which he intends to leave for
Toronti to attend college. The fall
wheat will be shout harvested this
week ; the yield will be low, it having
taken the rust so badly. The quart-
erly services will be held in the Ben -

and there will also be preaching at
Zion at 7 p. m.

UNBECOMING. — A good deal of
amusement has been caused lately
among the young people of the west
end, especially the boys, by the con,
duct of a couple of young ladies, at
least they call themselves •eo, who
seem to take a delight in giving every
person they meet some lip or slang,
that sounds very unladylike in our es-
timation. Query—Who are they ?
Perhaps it's those cows we hear so
much about lately.,
Norns.-On Monday evening lag
Mr R. Holmes, of Clinton, addresss
the young people in connection with
Turner's church, taking' for his sub-
ject, "Errors in life" ; his address was
practical, and was very much appre-
ciated by all who heard it. Lovers
of apple butter and cider will have to
smack their, lips this year and be sat-
isfied on account of the apple crop
being a failure ;., never mind, perhaps
potatoes will be a good crop. A
number of our young people report
getting salted at a garden patty, the
other evening; never mind, it was
only salt cream. instead of ice cream.

NEW CHURCH,—The members of
Burn's church intend building a new
church on the site of the old one,
and have already got a considerable
sum of money subscribed for the pur-
pose. They intend getting the ma-
terials on the ground this coming
winter, .
PASSED.— The four pupils who
wrote on the entrance exf[ination
from this• school, namhly Minnie
Knox, Earnest Best,Robert Watt and
Martha Jenkins, all passed, taidrlg
very creditable 'marks. This makes
eight who have passed from this
school within the last year. A miser
take was made in reporting Robert
•Watt and Earnest Beet from No 5,
Hullett, as they were from No 6.
MRETURNED.—Mesars W, Best A.
orrison and J. Berry, who Piave
been on a rusticating trip through
Manito�ba,returned last Friday, They
give a rather dismal report of the
crop prospect out there. Through
the Quapelle district there is hardly
anything, but in the vicinity of
Brandon they are a little better, and
about Portage la Prairie they are
very good. We understand that Mr
Morrison has rented a large farm out
Bayfield.
BRIEFS,—Mra .J. McDonald is at
present very ill. We trust that ere
long she will be fully recovered. A
number of the boys started up the lake
last Saturday on a cruising expedi-
tion; we wish them a good time and
a safe return. We believe there is a
law .against racing horses over the
bridge, but some people seem to for-
get that there is sueh a law.
Minn -Mr Kalbfleish was in town the
