The run was 53 cars, in which were only 738 head of cattle, the remainder of the run in- cluding I,763 sheep and lambs, I50 hogs and 87 calves. _A very few light export cattle for the Liverpool and Manchester mark- pets were sold, but of choice export- ers there were none. The sale for them is rather slow at present, owing to the condition of the British mark- , ets. One or two loads of choice butcher cattle sold as high as $4.75, but these were very few. The bulk of the sales were below $4, and the number of rough cattle which wentias canners. was large. `:AL`_ I...A.a..._ A...

The Doctor had been in ill health for the past eighteen months. He spent July and August here in Town at the home of his mo- `ther. but the rest and change did not work. him any material benet. He was in his 45th year. Dr. Hunt first practised at Thorn- ton before going to New Lowell. He was twice married. his first wife'be- ing Miss Emma Paton, daughter of Mr. Robert Paton. postmaster of Barrie, then of -New Lowell, who predeceased him by seventeen years. His second wife was formerlv Miss |Ida Mecham of Sunnidale. The (ler ceased leaves, besides the widow, his mother and one sister, and a son _Robert P. by the -first marriage. The late Doctor was a prominent man in the local Conservative party, and his name was frequently men- tioned in connection with par1iament- ary honors. He sat one term as County Commissioner for division No. 6. He enjoyed a wide popular- ity, his probity and straight-forward- ness making him held in the highest esteem. He belonged to several of the fraternities, among others being closely allied to the Masonic Order. The funeral at New Lowell on Monday was attended by a large con- course of people from the surround- ing_ district. Rev. R. J. Sturgeon of- ciated. The pall-bearers were N. M. Squire and Dr. A. L. Murphy. Tor- onto: P. Paton, Collingwood; Robert Mecham and John A. Bell. New Low- lell, and Daniel Quinlan, Barrie. Mr. G. C. Caston Oifers a Few Sug- - gestions. _ {Editor The Advance: Dear Sir,-As the timefor the Fall Fair is approaching I should like to offer a word of advice to intending exhibitors of fruit. Prizes are offered for best ve varieties of apples for export, 5 varieties for dessert and 5 varieties for cooking. Exhibitors have not shown good judgment in their selections for these classes. For export, a good selection would be King, Baldwin, Spy, Greening and Russet, and for dessert, `McIntosh, . Snow, King, Spy and Esopus Spitz- enberg, or as Esopus Spitz is not generally grown the. St. Lawrence might be substituted. For the same reason, I have omitted several good _j_ varieties that are not gener- ally grown, such as Princess Louise, -;~Primate. a several others `that are not likely ogbe found on exhibition ; .her_e._-S, For cookin , I would suggest `_'R*L -I. .Greening, ' p , Duchess, Cay- ,`u,ga_Red Str,e_ak,.

At 1 a meeting on Friday, the C0unc1l,the majority of whom were unaware lthat the lake was being d'rawn--upon, 1 gave instructions that no more was to be used under any circumstances. But by Tuesday, the upper part of the town was entirely out of water, and there was an outcry for `some relief, It became necessary that something should be done. `Mayor Curran therefore gave instructions that the lake should again be drawn upon, first sending out men to warn : all water takers that they had better that is _` This might have boil the water.
