Report oi the Bureaii of Indnst ries for November. bBEATES ABUNDANCE THAN ANTICIPATED. The report of the Bureau of Indust- ries for November deals chiefly with the grain and root crops of the Pro- vince, and gives tables of produce based on 1,850 returns made to the Bureau on the 25th of October. These tables show that the haivest sf grain crops has been even more bountiful than appeared by the estimates of the ' a'^n'^ersary £ Ifit of August, and form a gratifying ^^^rch here contrast to the tables of last^ year's harvest. The quality of the grain, too, is generally excellent, being plump, hard, and heavy.. Barley, however, was badly discoloured by the rains of the harvest season, and the bulk of it does not rank higher than second grade. Wheat is remarkably free from defects of any kind. The grain is above the standard weight, and the average yield of spring and fall varieties iu 22.8 busbels per acre, or 0.9 more tban last year. Oats also show a large yield, although in the uorthern and northwestern counties this and other spring grains suffered from the drought of Juue and July. The total jield of peas is 18,691,607, i From our own eorres^oHdaU. From the number -of aitempts of assault and robbery within the last few weeks upon travellers at nights it would seem as if a gang of tliieVes were prowling the country, espeokJly the eastern section of this township. Already several thefts have leen re- por'.ed. It would be well such high- handed work were stopped and the perpetrators brought io justice. On last Thursday night one of these at tempts to rob was made upon the per- son of Mr. James M. CHmpbell, black- smith, of the 4th hne, Artemesia, while returning home from Eugenia. While passing through a rather seclud ed spot in the neighborhood of a small swamp, he was sprang upon by twt) men who. emerged from the swamp and who jei ked him from the vehicle on which he was seated. Mr. Camp- bell succeeded in felling one of his opponents with the heavy end of his whip-stock the other struck at him several times with a knife, inflicting several cuts in bis arm. Mr. Camp- bell, by bis i^iiity,* caused his oppon ent No. 2 to retreat, when he sprang to his vehicle which luckily stood near by, as fortunately his horse stopped when he was first molested. Giving tongue to the animal he sprang for- ward and soon had his driver out of reach of the assassin. Bev. Mr. McGregor and family move from our village this week to their new home in Victoria, Mr. Mc- Gregor having received a call from the church m that place but as one drops out another stepj in. Again we have the pleasant countenance of Dr. Carter in our midst who, by his contented looks, almost prevent the people from getting sick. A good time is anticipated at the services of the Methodist next Sabbath. Dr. Harper of Collingwood is to preach morning and evening and, Mr. Edi- tor, if you don't come down to get some of the good things provided by the ladies on the Monday evening to! lowing \SLud. fetch your goose-quill with you;, we will try to give you a report of some of the doings of that evening. â- â€¢w Mr. M» Ae*m U Hon. Alex. Maiikenzie has returned from New York after liaving consulted a noted physician there. It is to be regretted that the reports aro far from favorable. His complaint is said to be what is commotily known as creep- ing paralysis. Carious Deforiniky. Chatswortb, Nov. 18.â€" This village perhaps possesses the most peculiar case of dpf jrmed bumanity ever pro- duced in Canada. The other evening Mrs. Elliot, wife of the druggist here, gave birth to a child, a strong and healthy infant. The little one is per- fectly developed except in one par- ticular. The ri^ht arm is entirely missing, with the exception that at the shoulder the knuckles of- a hand are plainly discernible' The matter ex cites a great deal of attention. â€" News. IiltPORTANT.

Osprey. bushels, or 3,000,000 more than last year. The quality is of unvarying excellence, little or no damage having been done by the bug. Beans and corn, which were in an unpromising condition at the end of July, made a surprisingly good recovery in August, and steadilj improved to maturity. The yield af the former is 592,044 bushels and of the latter 12,985,889 bushels, being an average of 23.8 and 74 bushels per acre respectively. Last year loth crops were destroyed by the frosts. BOOT CROPS. The root crop is generally an ex- cellent one, especially potatoes, man- golds, and carrots. Turnips suffered to some extent from the August drought, but they are of good quality. The aggregate and ayerjige yield for 1883 and 1884 are as follows :â€" From a eorrpesondent. Fine weather recently. Fall plowing is well advanced. Messrs. A. Heron and S.

From the Collingwood Enterprise. On Wednesday Nov. 5, Alexander Tegart, of Singhampton, was engaged j faling trees for C. Meckle, near Ros- seau. A falling limb struck him and he immediately became unconscious and never recovered. A doctor was brought from Parry Sound, a distance of twenty miles, but could not help the dying man, who on Thursday was taken on boaid the steamer Nipissicg for Gravenhurst, and died shortly after starting. His son Arthur was with him, and the greatest kindness y.H shown young Tegart by Mr. Meckle and the men in his employ. The deceased was brought to Sing- hampton where a funeral service Wi s f held in the Methodist church on Suu- day, and he was taken on Mondav, the 11th, b the 6:40 train to Tottei* ham, for interment in the family burial ground. He was neaily sixry- five years of age, and able to do the average man's work. He leaves a wife and twelve children, the eldest son, Robert, having for years been Deputy- Reeve of Essa. Mr. Tetsart was a pioneer of Not- tav.'asaga from about the year 1851, and was deputy-reeve and councillor for years. He was a member of the Methodist church, in fact the founder of it in his' neighborhood, and he raised the bcdy of a church on his farm thirty years ago. His house was then the meeting house, and the home of many of the eariy ministers of his church. He possessed great Mndn^s of heart, often excessive, and lived to find that many of bis acts of loadnesa weie poorly xe^qi(ed,â€"G«.
