Cool, COMFORT. — Christopher Plumb gives notice, through the is:/apit'rr, "that we will have another cold wave on the 27th 28th or 29th inst. In many places the tempera- ture will drop below freezing, al- though not as severe as last month. Fanners and gardeners should ar- range to cloud their fields with smoke; , as is successfully practiced on European fields and vineyards, and has been to some extent in the North west. After that there will be no more frosts or danger to crops, even in the North-west." RATHER INDEFINITE,—There will shortly be an election for school trustees for St. Andrews ward, necessitated bo the continued ab- sence from town and meetings of the Board of Mr. Jas. Thompson. The taxpayers. have about 200, more or less, eligible residents in the ward to choose from. Subject to correction on appeal to the names on tho assessment roll, we may, without singling out invidiously any one who would slake a better trustee than another, mention the names of Brown, Jones, Robinson, Smith, Nokos, Styles, Doe and Roe. ABOUT PEDDLERS.—Preston Pro- gress : At a special meeting of the council, held on the 6th inst., a by- law was passed respecting transient traders, with whom our village has of late been overrun. The fee for these gentry was fixed at $50 which will entitle them to sell for five years, and which will be credited to such trader on his assessment, should he remain in the villagesuffi- cient time for taxes to be come due. The fruits of the by-law (in the shape of $50) were depusited with treasurer on Wednesdoy by Mr., James Pinder, of ,Galt, who has been running an auction sale this week. SERVANT GIRLS ON TOP .—A curious case came up befor Jude Elliott in the London Divtslon Court. A man living on South street had a girl working for him named Kate McSween. When her time was up she was paid her wages in full. That was on Saturday and she was nut to go to a new place until Tuesday. The mistress of the house invited her to stay there until Tuesday, which she did. On Mon- day the butcher caste with his bill, and the master borrowed $3 from the servant to pay it. She never succeeded in getting the money back, and sued for it. The defend- ant put in an offset for three days board at $1 a day, but the judge would not Allow it, and gave the girl her $3.' In another wages cairn a person living on Fullerton street was sued by a domestic for $96. He set off a bill for clothes, medical attendance., etc., showing that the girl owed him $3. On the side of the bill was marked one cent a Sun- day for Sunday school, but this amount was not included in the offset. The judge gave the girl $26.

At the ;receut tweeting iu Exeter of the South Huron Liberal Conservaiive Association, are following testi- mony to departed worth and sym- pathy for the living was tendered : —7'o Mrs. D: H. Ritchie: HE DARED HER.—"But if you don't love him, Clara, why are you going to marry hint !" '`Because he dared me to, mamma. He knew my high-spirited nature, too: Oh, I'll make him sorry enough for it— don't you be afraid." ONLY WANTED SARAH. --A young man sought of a father the hand of his daughter 'in marriage. "Can you support a family," asked the solicitous father. "I don't know, I only wanted Sarah," replied the youth. and the old man withdrew advising the young man to consider the platter. LIEUT. COL. COLEMAN of the 33rd was in town on Friday in connec- tion with the salt business. He re- ported the "boys" of the 33rd in brigade camp to be about as all round a good lot as is to be found on the ground. The Colonel was afraid ho would not be able to put iu much of his time in camp owing to his engagements as valuator in the immense sales of American salt property now going ou. to English capital ists: METHODIST LAYMEN AS CHRIS- TIANS.—The editor of the Brussels Postwho was a member of the recent Methodist Conference held in St. Mary's thus writes of the laymen's 'convention held there. "The Laymen's Convention and platform did not .amount td much and before the Conference closed the laymen Voted the proposed amendments down. The whole thing was looked upon as the ''get up" of one or two men and the decision goes to show that the lay- men of' the Guelph Conference do not think they have or are suffering at the hands of their ministerial brethren." This is in striking con- trast to the sage utterances ,of our local cotem about the discipline kickers. LAST WEDNESDAY OVor a dozen buggies with male and female occupants were leaving the Ratten- bury hostelry, intent on following the leading rig which . contained a happy young couple who a fess hours previously had been,united in marriage's merry bonds, when two of the rigs collided, upsetting one and spilling the young lady and gentle- man on the cold, cold ground. The young man held on to the, lines and the young lady tilted up the buggy with lightning rapidity. The only harm done was a bent axle and the disappointment of the young couple 013 not being able to continue their journey with the wedding party. DEAR MADAM :—At a mooting of the Liberal Conservative Association of the South Riding of the County of Huron, held in the village of Exeter on the 10th day ofJune, the following resolution waso passed unanimously:—That whereas, since our last annual meeting, it has !slim- ed the Almighty to remove from earth your late esteemed husband, a member and ex -President of this Association, and always a staunch supporter of and energetic worker in the great cause of Conservatism, and who was alike beloved and respected owing to his genial, excellent and superior qualities in and out of office ; be it resolved that the heart- felt sympathy of this Association be tendered to yourself and relatives in you said breavemont. We, the members of the Association, while submitting to the will of God, deeply sympathize with you and pray that in this, the hour of your afflietion, by the sustaining • evil comfoiting power of God, you mays realize his precious promise to be yell husband to the widosto and a joy in the tima of sorrow. Signed in be- half of Association. Michael Eaerett, M. J. White, L. H. Dickson. \a, LITTLE daughter of lir. Peter le died Sunday last. lIer age ten years.

MAYOR'S COURT.—Two young men, William and Robert Fleming, I were brought before Mayor White- head and W.W. Ferran Esq.,J.P. on Tuesday charged with stealing a heifer from A. J. Courtice God- erieh township. Wm Fleming was also charged with stealing a Iamb the property of H. J. Hibbs. Prispn- ers pleaded gujlty on all the charges and were committed for trial at the next court of competent jurisdiction. After the two former had been committed a young pian' named Moffat was arrested and com- mitted far being concerned in the stealing of the lamb. All three• were taken up to Goderich jail Tuesday evening in 'charge of con- stable Paisley and Tedford. A RESIDENT • OF CLINTON, 011 Tuesday forenoon, took a dose of Paris green with apparent suicidal i ntent. A physician was summoned and the poison- pumped out before serious injury was done. No cause assigned far the rash act, but it may be stated that a few minutes before the occurrence the misguided man had a talk with a John A. Mac- donald conservative on tho Jesuit question and was told tho truth about the agitation. Whether his horror at the enormous quantity of: Anti -Macdonald lies he had boon induced to swallow had anything to do with his thinking that "life was worth not living" deponent saith not. Since writing the above the unfortunate man had died front the effects of the poison, in the town hall.. His name is McCloy and some years ago he was employed in the woollen factory here. It is not likely au inquest will be held. LIA13ILITY.—A lean recently was heavily fined for scuding false news to a local newspaper. The magia- trate, before whom the caso came, pointed out how much the proprie- tor of a newspaper depended upon the good faith of his informants ilia' localities where he might have not personal knowledge to guide hini' 'rhe practical joker or malicious;': falsifier who may think it rather a` clover thing to take in a, nowspapet! in this way will for the future be wise in remembering that it is a dangerous game to play, even if the editor is neither pugnacious nor a good shot. A POINTER TO MELICHANTS.—It is a peculiarity about retailers that but few of them attach any impor- tance to the use of good office stationery. We have had occasion to notice that during the course of many years' contact with trade. The ordinary counter bill -head, printed for the most part on a very poor quality of paper, and without any pretension to typographical neatness, serves the purpose not only for a bill -head, but in most cases takes the place of a letter -head and business card. What better introduction—so far as first irn- pressions are concerned—to a wholesaler or manufacturer than en attractive business card. The pro- gress of time requires that retail merchants should be further ad- vanced in attention to these matters, which though small in themselves, frequently exert a marked influence upon outsiders. --N. Y, Trade Re - MUST PAY UP.—Several non - prying recipients of papers wore sued by the proprietor of the Dundee Standard at the Division Court. In one caso the man sued sworn that the former owner of the paper had told him he was going to send the paper, had done so, that the paper had been taken by him from the post -office over since, but that ho did not consider he was liable for the amount of the sub- scription price. Judge Muir Meld distinctly that the man having taken the paper from the poet -office and used it, had received the value and was liable for the full amount of the subscription. If he had at first refused to take the passer from the office the postmaster would have notified the newspaper proprietor and the paper would have been stopped. It is a simple matter to have a paper stopped lawfully, but payment of arrearagos must precede refusal. Men's Furnishing Goods.

LONG MAY SHE REIGN.—So re- marked a Clinton lad tho other day to his mate with whom he had been discussing tho supremacy of the Queen after the manner of his seniors. The words were caught by a farmer who lives in a low-lying section of IIullett, and he waxed wroth thereat and expressed the hope that if she rained much longer she would drown the young rascal. A TOUCHING OBITUARY.—"It la with deep regret that wo chronicle the death of G I•I.M ,of ,New York. He passed away on Monday morning, March 25th, after an illness of little more than three days We had been acquainted for five years. We be- gan in'the poultry business at the same time, both buying Wyandotte eggs of the sante man. The writer soon gave up the breed and kept only Langshans. But George kept his Wyandottes, bought only the best, bred carefully ; and though we have seen many fine birds, we know of few which lay more and larger eggs or breed finer chicks than his do. We have had many fowls and eggs of him, and would as quick trust }tint as ourself to ship eggs or to select stock."—Froin Editor's Drawer, in Harper's Magazine for July. MARRIAGES.
