He was working in the field with his Binder, incl had stopped to oil the machine. While oiling in front of the knotter, something frightened the horses and they tan away, throwing Mr. John- ston down. He was caught by the Binder, one of his legs, and his neck, under the jawbone, being severely cut. The horses ran a short distance and the machine came in contact with some shocks of grain, which stopped then). Had Mr. Johnston been in front of the knife, his injuries aright have been even more serious. Dr. Agnew was summoned., and the in- jured man is doing as well as could be expected.. Badly Burned.

Two young men were in town last week, looking into the prospects for a foundry for agricultural implements. Both are practical men, and as they do not "want the earth," it would be well to encourage the undertaking. The matter was informally mentioned at the Council meeting ou Wednes- clay, and several of the Councillors of- fered to take stock, two of them $500 each, provided everything, was all right. We understand that all they ask is that the citizens encourage the enterprise by taking a limited and very reabonable amount' of stock. We hope to hear more of the enter - The following from the Dundalk Herald has reference to the father of A Mrs. Thos.

Brussels people celebrated their Civic holiday by a Sunday School ex- cursion to Kincardine on Friday last, and two trains bore excursionists to the lake -side. Lucknow also had its Civic holid..y and joined the excur- sionists from Brussels. At the latter station over 000 tickets were sold. The day was fine, warm, and the trip to the lake enjoyed. Shuts Them Out, The Postmaster -General has decided that the statutory postal privileges apply only to regular issues of news- papers and periodicals, and not to spe- cial issues like Christmas numbers. Such special issues of newspapers and periodicals will hereafter be liable to postage at the rate of one cent per two ounces, to each separate address, to be prepaid by postage stamp. This will practically prevent the issue of Christmas numbers, and to our mind discourages the enterprise of publish- ers, who would endeavor to give their readers something better than usual about Christmas time.

Mr. Mitchell and his fancily did all in their power -to aid the undertaking, and there was a large attendance. The admission price was only 15 cts., and for this small sum, the visitors had tea served to thein and enjoyed the excellent program of music furnished by the Wingham Banti. The gate receipts were $38.75, and from the booth, $20. The evening was a beautiful one for the event, the wea- ther warm, free from dampness, and theme= gave her mellow light freely. This Sunday School is composed of families of several denominations ; it is largely -attended and is doing ex- cellent work under the superin- tendency of Mr. John Kerr of town. Without it, malty children would be deprived of the advantages it affords.

The boy was thrown out and his collar bone broken, so that be was obliged to return on the train. Mr. Cassels went after the team and rig. Prom Cornwall. Dir, ,John Terriff drops the Advance a few lines from Cornwall, Ont., to let us know that he is still above ground. He says that Cornwall has about 8,000 population, and is situated fifty miles from Montreal, on the great St. Law- rence. There is quite a river traffic and the vessels are locked. through the canal there. The population is nearly one-third French, and the town many years behind the times in sidewalks, attractive lawns, etc. Two things Mr. Terriff considers very creditable —they will not allow a vessel to go through the locks on Sunday, or a circus to show inside the corporation. The factory he works in employs 70 hands, and has its own electric light plant. On the whole Mr. T. likes the place, but still has a kind regard for Wingham and the friends here. pipe has been let to the Minter Bridge and Boiler Co., of Kincardine, whose tender was the lowest. The contract price was $5,925, to which $20 was added for cast-iron doors to base, not mentioned in the specifications. The Standpipe will be sixteen -feet in diam- eter, acircumference •ill ive rt which t eterwill g of over fifty feet, and it will be eighty feet high. This, with the height of land on which it will be erected, will give first-class fire protection, water for factories, hotels, railways, lawns, etc., and already a considerable re- venue is in sight. A number of citi- zens intend using the water for sani- tary purposes, and many others would do so had they been fortunate enough to have lived on the line of the mains. A. little forethought may save you no enc. of trouble. Anyone who makes it a rule to keep Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy at hand knows this to be a fact. For sale by all druggists. The Tax Rate. Wingham's tax rate this year will be 23 mills, or three mills more than last year. There are reasons for this increase and they are not to be found in any extravagant expenditure by the Council, but can be easily account. ed for. In the first place, for some reason, the County mato is nearly one. half more than last year. requiring one-half mill ; then the School ex- penses have been heavier, requiting one-half mill more than in 1004; then the new bridge at the mill (an :absolute necessity) will take about two mills, so that the three mills are accounted for its unavoidable expenditnre. The EIeettic Light department is doing well this year and though the in- dividual accounts are in uuttiy in- stances less (economy in light the rea- son) yet the number taking lights has increased, so that the total is likely to be larger, and hence the surplus larger than last year.

The fI t tr. n f t to t, e p harvesters for this year will pull out of Toronto August 29th, and the first from this section September and. In the meantime the Canadian Pa- cific's Atlantic Division is getting ready to despatch a trainload on August 19th. Each harvester's ticket reads to Winnipeg and excursion is good up to November 30th. The dis- tribution is made at Winnipeg, be- cause under the old system men crowded into districts where they had friends, or thought they had, causing congestion, while fanners in other sections were hard put to it to house their :crops. Arriving at Winnipeg, the harvester arranges for work, and having then a definite destination, ho is carried the retraining distance free. Moosejaw, Prince Albert or Estevan are the limits, and if the job is further west than either of these points the lowest regular fare is charged. In this way a farm hand can travel from the eastern part of Ontario, away west to Prince Albert for twelve dol- lars.

Death was busy In our town last week, and three famiiies were Ieft with saddened hearts, because the gi:'im reaper chose loved ones from their homes. In one case the aged was taken ; the other two were young in years, with all the promise of life before them, "Be ye therefore ready." ROGER v. u. SRoWErT. This young man was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Browett, who have been residents of our town for nearly eighteen months. Abont nine weeks ago the deceased was taken ill ; ty- phoid fever developed, and for eight weeks the young man was held firmly in its grip. At tithes hopes were en• tertained of his recovery, but on Thursday last the vital spark fled. Roger was a bright, interesting boy, a clever student, and promised well. His parents will carry sweet memories of his life, but at present their hearts are heavy with grief, because of the vacant chair. Service was held at the home on Friday evening by Rev. J. N. McLean, and interment took place in Ingersoll on Saturday. vLORENCE FTHEL GRAHAM. Again the shadow of death has fallen upon the home of our towns- men, T. C. Graham, and on Saturday, 12th inst., death took from the family Miss Florence, the youngest daughter. Deceased letad been a sufferer for many months, and notwithstanding that all that kind friends could do, was done for her, she passed away, aged twenty years, .Deceased was a member of the Epworth League of the Methodist Church, and her place will henceforth be vacant. Service was conducted by her pastor, Rev. Dr, Gundy, at the home. Her bereaved father, brother and sisters have sincere sympathy in their sorrow. MRS, BABY. Mrs. James Raby ha,d passeel the three score mark, being in her sixty- third year, Deceased had been in failing health for some time, especially since March last. About three weeks ago, attacks of epilepsy became more frequent, leaving her in a very weals condition, and the end carne on Satur- day Last, when she passed peacefully • away. Mrs. Raby had been a resident of Wingham for many years, and her her quiet, retiring disposition and kind heart, won her many friends, She was a member of the Methodist Church, and many can bear testimony to her faithful Christian life. While health lasted, she was regular in her attendance at the services of the Church. Mrs. Raby was twice mar- ried ; from the first union there re- utain three sons and two daughters, The sons are—Spurgeon of Waterloo, Fred. of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Robert of Dakota. The daughters are affected by it. At the request of a neighbor, Mr. R. G. Roberts, Clerk of the township, sent a specimen of the weed to Professor Zavitz, experi- mentalist at Guelph Agricultural Col- lege, tvho handed it to Professor Loch - head of the Biological department, who has sent Mr. Roberts the follow- ing reply, which may be of some use to fanners in trying to eradicate this dangerous weed. Guelph, Ont., 22 July, 1005. Mr. R, G. Roberts, Municipal Clerk, Shipley. Dear Sir :—Your letter and speci- men addressed to Professor Zavitz have been handed to me for reply. The weed which yon enclnse is known as the Perennial Sow Thistle (Son- chusarvensis), It is probably the worst weed we have its Ontario. It spreads itself both byunderground items and by seed ; and thrives egttal- ly weal its enitivated or grass land. The only way to eradicate such a pest is to keep the upper hart of the plant, which supplies the tood Inc theusually root, Constantly cut down. It is s . y found in :pateltes, nncl if these patches tare cultivated with the rest of the field, there is danger of spreading the underground stems. There is no easy way of eradicating it.
