The farmers around here have about all finished seeding, and would have been done be- fore but for the continued rains, which made the ground very wet in some Condensed News. l places. â€"Petty thefts are still of frequent occurrence in Pelerborongh, portions of harness being the articles most common- ly taken. â€"It is proposed to lay down a third rail on the Toronto & Nipissiug Rail- way, so that, cars of the ordinary width can roll over it, which will be a benefit to the village of" Woodvillc, and the :IIIL’IICUIC rejoices accordingly. -â€"I’eterborougli is dissatisfied with its present means of protection against fire. and is beginning to debate whether it shall purchase a new steam fire eu- ginc or invest in water works.

McQuade, M. P. for South Victoria, was thrown from his buggy one day last week in consequence of a vehicle, in which three drunken men were driving furiously, colliding with it. The axle of the buggy was broken, but. .\I r. McQuade fortunately escaped with- out injury. The wrought. iron slinntv stoves made by Mr. Adam Hall, of Puterborough, are becoming very popular. It is a pity that he doesn't manufacture stores of all kinds of thc saute material. for those made of cast metal crack to pieces and become almost useless with a rapid- ity that is it terror to housekeepers with slender purses. â€"â€"At. an emergency meeting of the South Victoria Act'icultural Society. held recently, Mr. Wm.

During the 24th, two or thr ‘c telegrams enquiring for them were sent to the or press office and the railway ofiicc itt Lindsay, of course without avail; but it strangely happened that the possibil- ity of their having been sent by the other route did not. occur to any per- Son, or they might have been got. in time. The fireworks are. we believe. still at. Cobocouk, and the managing committee appear to be iii doubt what to do about them; but. they ought to make up their minds as SUOH as pos>i- ble, and either send for the articles or write to the manufacturer asking him to take them back.

It is a small grind- stone set in a frame of the u~ual kind, but with an attachment. which holds the knich in such it manner that they are ground evenly from heel to point. and the stone can be used until it is worn down to three or four inches in diameter. A boy alone eau work it as all that: is required is to fasten the knives to the attachment and ttiru the handle, which requires but little strength. and it is so simple that it ran- not got out. of order. The price is 80 cash, and it needs only to be seen to be appreciated. Our old friend Mr. Win. J.
