Thompson's mill on Tuesday evening, when his son, Wil- fred, a young man nineteen years of age, had all of the fingers and the thumb of his left hand cut off by the shingle edger saw which he was work- ing.—[Teeswater News. Mr. Voigt, an old man of 87 years of age, father of John Reinhart of the B line of Carrick, not far from Amble- side, fell down cellar on. Saturday night and broke his neck. He was re- tiring for the night and took the door leading to the cellar in mistake for the one leading to the hall. He was buried at Mildmay on Tuesday. Mason keeps the largest stock of School Supplies for the opening.—Send the children. Floyd Lawrason, township of South Dumfries, brother of Fletcher Law- rason of Listowel has a -fifty -acre farm and this is this year's record, as given by the Hamilton Spectator; Twenty acres of oats, 1,175 bushels, eight acres wheat, 250 bushels; four acres barley, 180 bushels; four acres hay, 10 tons. He also had three acres of hoed crop and two acres of fruit. the remainder of his land`bei?ig:•din: pitsture. That's pretty good for 50 acres of Ontario soil. The Bruce Herald says :—There are some prospects of the Formosa 011 Co. again starting drilling. Messrs. Schu- maker and Weiler were at Hepworth a few days ago and the drillers in that section gave them considerable en- couragement. They were greatly pleased with the geological formation of the wells drilled at Formosa, and are quite positive there is oil in the vicinity. The Formosa people pro- pose purchasing the necessary tools and going at it again. They hold un- der lease 15,000 acres, and will make a further test. Perhaps the most remarkable scien- tific discovery made in a long time—so far at least as its wonderful possibili- ties are concerned—is that of radium. Apparently this substance has from the beginning been giving off particles at the rate of sixt; to ninety thousand miles per second. without diminution of its own force—and will continue to do so forever. It supplies light with- out heat. A ray of this light conducts electricity. It converts oxygen into ozone and colors glass permanently brown. These are only a few of the properties of this remarkable sub- stance. In The Cosmopolitan for Sep- tember a brief article is published un- der the title "A new Field For Specul- ation," and announcement is made of a prize of three hundred dollars fon' the best paper on this subject.

Next. Autumn. A correspondent of the Advance sends us the following :—The sun is kissing the maple leaves and causing them to blush ; the world seems asleep in a sea of haze; above the din of po- litical strife we hear the toot of the threshing machine ; the farmers have gatherediu the last load and thanks go up to the Giver of all good for a -bountiful harvest.. Strange 1 ' Mr. and Mrs. James Weir of the 10th of Turnberry are expected home this week from Scotland. During their stay in the old land, Mr. Weir's bro- ther, whom he went to visit, died. Strange to say, on the very same day that Mr. Weir's brother died in Scot- land, Mrs. Weir's sister (Miss Jane Manson) died in East Wawanosh, at the home of Robt. McBurney, Thus a double bereavement saddened what might have otherwise been. a most de- lightful trip to the old land. Excursion To London For the 35th Annual Western Fair.

Some idea of Manitoba farming may be gathered from the success of J. D. Ross, a farmer near Elgin, Man., who will require two tons of twine to bind hie wheat crop. Ile has 1,600 acres in Wheat, and expects an average of 80 bushels per acre. Ile has, in addition 300 acres of oats and 40 ares of barley, owns three or four barns, 80 horses, keeps six men, and lives in a splendid modern brick house, with all water connections and bath inside.

Mackenzie of Teeswater made twelve entries of fancy goods for Kingston Fair and se- cured eleven first prizes and one sec- ond ; she also exhibited at Ottawa and made the same record, which certainly is very creditable indeed. Millinery Notes. The milliners of town are busy pre- paring for the fall openings, which will be held on or about the 23rd inst. The new trimmers this season are—Miss Miller of Barrie at Miss Boyd's, Miss Bisette of Exeter at Mrs. Green's, and Miss Chambers of London at Mrs. Aley's. All come highly recommend- ed.

A happy matrimonial event caused a joyous gathering on Wednesday at the residence of Mr. Wm. Johnston, Con. 10, Turnberry. The fair bride was his daughter, Miss Amelia, and the happy groom, John Ireland, a prosperous young farmer of Culross. The bride was neatly attired, and looked very pretty indeed. Rev. Wm. Lowe was the officiating clergyman, and securely tied the nuptial knot. After the happy couple had received the congratulations of the large com- acknowledged receipt of photographs pany of friends, the rich wedding lun- of the new Methodist church, and en- cheon received attention.

Huron Registry Office, The report of the Inspector of Regis- try offices for 1001 has been issued. By reference ti3 it we find the follow- ing for this county—municipalities, 25 ; Instruments registered — patents, 2; leases. 5; mechanics' liens, 6; wills, 170; deeds, 1,429; mortgages, 1,006; dis- charge of mortgages, 1,060 ; abstracts given, 1,207 ; searches, 1,013 ; gross fees earned, $6,071.25, The figures in Bruce county are—documents registered, 4,- 026 ; Mortgages, 937 ; discharge of mortgages, 1,041 ; wills, 145; leases, 20 ; deeds, 1,467; fees, $4,807,50, Test Them. Every farmer should examine his herd and test the value of his cows as milk and butter producers. If an ani- mal comes below a certain standard, known to be a profitable investment, get rid of that cow. That is the way to succeed and make money. As a rule, it takes no more to feed a good cow than a poor one, while the results from the two are very different. Dairy Commissioner McConnell of Minnesota estimates that of the 800,000 cows in that State, 200,000 are absolutely worthless. A proper test would rale out a lot of cows in Huron county. Secured Offices. The Canada Furniture Manufactur- ers, Limited, operators of Wingham factories, have purchased buildings suitable for offices and sample rooms for their extensive business. The pro- perty purchased has been known as the Fair, corner of King street east and Francis street. Toronto.

Like others who have been there, he is impressed with the vastness of that part of our Dominion, and its immense possibili- ties. Its productiveness is amazing, and there are yet homes for thousands In his trip, he met with many from Huron county, of whom our lack of space prevents us to speak. There is a possibility that the attractions of the west may be too strong, and cause us to lose a good citizen. Sad Bereavement. Mr, and Mrs. David Scott of East Wawanosh went to Southampton en Saturday last, to attend the funeral of Mrs. (Dr.) Scott. Dr, Scott is a ne- phew of Messrs.

He has lost father, mother, babe, brother, and now an affection- ate, faithful partner. He is left almost alone, with one child, a boy of about fifteen months, Such is Life there are times ahen scarcely does the shadow of one cloud pass by, until another ap- pears upon the scene—all tending to remind us that we, too, are mortal. Wedding. Last Thursday a happy company gathered at the residence of Postmas- ter Fisher, to witness the marriage of his youngest daughter, Miss Carrie, to George 0. Hanna, a prosperous young merchant of town. Owing to the sad bereavement that fell upon the family a few months ago, the event of Thurs- day last was quiet and without display, only the immediate relatives being present. Rev. J. J. Patterson, B. A., assisted by Rev. D. Perrie, performed the marriage ceremony at 1 p. m. After congratulations, the guests much enjoyed the simple but dainty luncheon served. The bride wore a becoming travelling gown of dark che- viot. She is held in high esteem in the community, and bas been for some years organist in the Presbyterian church. She was the recipient of many beautiful gifts indicating friend- ship and esteem ; among them we might mention a china cabinet, from the Firemen, and an antique chair from the choir of the Presbyterian church.

The principal of a school tells the following anecdote; One day at school I gave a bright boy a sum in algebra and although comparatively easy, he conld'nt do it. 1 remarked, "you ought to be ashamed of yourself. At your age George Washington was a surveyor." The boy looked me straight in my eyes and replied, "Yes sir, and at your age he was President of the United States." Died.

Murray who survives him ; eight chil- dren were born to them—three are dead ; those who remain are—David of Petrolea, William of Montana and John at home ; one daughter resides at Windsor, the other is still at home.
