0 WHEN AND 0 WHEN.—The
Hamilton Spec puts the questions :-
"\V'nen will the farming man gat
enough of the peddling swindles?
\Vheu will he learn to sign no
agreement or document of any
kind presented by a stranger?
When will he learn that the man
who proposes to give him a
good thing doesn't mean it?" The
P,eeton World makes this apt reply :
When he gets ride enough to sub-
scribe for His local paper and has
time to read it.

SOMETHiNG WRONG.—An ex-
change thinks "there is something
wrong with the 'eternal fitness of
things' when the minister gets five
dollars and a sumptuous dinner for
performing the marriage coretnony
which only takes five minutes,
while the poor editor is asked to
spend two hours in writing up a
notice,,, and to set up a liet of pres-
ents, and he only gets a piece of
cake which, if he eats it, is apt to
upset his digestive apparatus for the
next three months."

THE APPLE CROP.—It has long
been known that the next crop
would he far above the average, and
now the talk is going round that ap-
ples will be so plentiful that (para-
doxical as it may appear) the trade
will he rnit;ed. One large grower
says "the price will be so low that
it won't pay for the carriage of the
crop to market," Another says he
won't barrel any apples this year,as
the coat will only be so much added
to his lose. Then exporters say that
there will be "nothing in the export
trade this year." "Apples will be
given away in Liverpool." "The
sales won't bring enough to pay
freights." The market is full of
such doleful prophesies, but we have
heard some of this sort of talk be•
fore, and always allow a very
extensive dis:ount. It seems assur•
ed that the crop will be large, and
the public will get the advantage of
a cheap end wholesome food, but it
does not.. necessarily _- follow -that,
either growers or dealers need lose
a mint of money over it.

THE PARSON'S REQUEST.—There
was a sensation in the little Metho-
diet church at Burford, Brant coun-
ty, last Sunday. During the ser
mon the pastor with outstretched
hand, pointed to a young lady in
the second row, and at the same
time addressed a gentleman in front
of her with the words : "Brother
Sharpe, have you got a Bandy in
your pocket? If so give it to that
overgrown baby behind you. It is
a pity when people grow up their
manners don't grow with them."
The young lady flushed furiously,
and brother Sharpe ransacked his
pockets, bringing out the door key
and his collection, but no candies.
The young lady was a visitor fromDo-
troit, and the pastor's friends say
she was conducting a flirtation and
was otherwise frivolone.
MARRIED ANI) DIDN'T KNOW IT.—
Some of our citizens, who were up
to Goderich the other day, noticed
in the Star of that place that Mrs.
Isaac Rattenbury, of Clinton, had
gone on a trip from that port up
the lakes. Forthwith they eame to
the conclusion that "Ike", like
Joey Bagstock, was "sly, devilish
sly," in having "been and gone and
done it" without hie most intimate
friends knowing anything about it.
When they returned cofigratula
tions were in order and Ike's good
right hand was grasped with a cor-
diality and shaken with an unceas-
ing persistency that would make a
victim of the "ehakin' ager" dio of
MEWS'." If you 'Seer Ts•aao -carrying
his arm in a sling you will know
the reason why.

NATURAL FRUIT,—Yesterday we
were shown and partook of some of
the fruit of an apple tree that has a
history. Seventeen years ago Mr
Joseph .Rattenbury, of the Ratten-
bury house, then a youth attending
the Clinton Public School, of which
the late D. MacG. Malloch was
principal, on returning to school
noticed some half dozen apple shoots
which had sprouted from sends that
had been swept out of the school
room preyious to vacation. He
took them home and planted them.
Only one survived the depredations
of the cows and came to maturity.
Last year this one bore two apples.
This year it is fairly laden with
fruit, but of what variety it is hard
to say, because in such oases the
seeds do not produce after their
kind. Mr. R. prizes this tree so
highly that "money could not buy
it." Not on account of its intrinsic

nected with it.
