stet with an accident on Monday that
might have had fatal results. 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

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.

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

The Tax Rate.

the new bridge at the mill (an :absolute

so that the three mills are accounted
for its unavoidable expenditnre. The

well this year and though the in-

DEATH VISITS THREE HOMES.
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.
