The curiosity was a calf, at least its mother was a cow, but the offspring: of which he tells was half calf and half sheep. The head was like a sheep’s head ; both sides were covered with black curly of a sheep‘ and the ridge of the back, the belly and hind quarters were covered with hair like a call. The animal was purchased by one of the hotel keepers'in Elmira for the sum of ten dollars. It is about three or] four weeks old now and should it I live the purchaser will likely geti some good bids for it for show par-g poses. : s 0 THE Irish Lake picnic on the Blst I n inst. was largely attended many go-§ ing for miles to witness an event of; more than local popularity. “'6 f B have learned that this year’s afl'airlfi‘tc was very enjoyable and many who * . .

Though ailing for some time there were no serious apprehensions, but on the morning of his death he took suddenly ill and departed during the day.

Fifty-five: years ago, or thereabouts, she was married to the late Geo. Staples. and about ten years after, with her hus- band and a family of four children, moved to Glenelg where she lived un- til the time of her death. The union resulted in nine children, five sons “and four daughters, all of whom, with the exception of one daughter, survive her to mourn their loss. The sons are James, Reeve of Glenelg, George and John of the same town- ship, Dr. Staples, of Hanover, and Ben who is a. resident of Chicago.

It was more inconvenient for ‘ some but more convenient for others; _ the expense was practically the same, " for while some had longer mileages others had shorter; other County l Councils, notably those of Simeoe and Bruce, moved about; the people of every point of the county had .been Ln paying taxes into the county teasury [e for the past 50 or 60 years, and if there was any honor or advantage in holding the County Council in any >b particular place, one place had as much right to it as anonher. lization could be improved on, and he trusted that if any discussion arose on it it would be characterized by fairness and moderation and a dispo- sition to give and take what would be just to all.
