Three posts were lifted right out of the ground, three more were broken off and thrown across'the railway, and a seventh was pushed`partl_v over.

COLLINGWOOD PRESBYTERIAN held Presbvtm-inn nh........ .. Saturday Market . Attendance at the market last Sat- iurday was rather smaller -than for some weeks past. This was due to the gfact that farmers are busy seeding iand want to put every available min- |ute on the land. Seeding is reported to be now well under way. Practically everyone has made a. start while some `farmers have as much as twenty ac- vres in seed. I Eggs were steady at 25 cents a dozen land many sales were noted at that = price. Butter was fairly prominent and brought 35 cents a pound. There `was also a. good quantity of roots, avegetables and potatoes, prices. 1-f !which were unchanged from preced- ing weeks. A few cans of maple syrup lmarked the close of the season for this delicacy. Farmers report that the a run of sap this year was considerably . smaller than for some years `past.
