Those requring extra copies of the paper should order thaiu immed- iately, price 5o., or * for 2.V. Mr. Fred Armstrong caught a peculiar fish in the Beaver river near Kimberley last week which measured 2ti inches in length and weighed 3.J Ibs. It was an ugly looking fellow, and nothing like it bad ever been caught in the river bf fore. Consultation of an encyclopedia revealed the fact that it was a ling. The tluu; was toiled and made into soup for the hens. Tho result of the recent annual exam- inations were published ia Saturday's dailys. So far' as we know only four from this section t have paused. In the the Primary E. MuNally was successful. Senior leaviug A. Wright, U. Wright and R. Wright passed, all children of Mr. John Wright, near this village. The young people have our hearty congratu- lations.! No man ever smoked "Myrtle Navy" tobacco for a fortnight and then took to any brand in preference to it. It beam its own testimony el~ its qualities, and it is testimony which is always convincing. The smoker who uses it is never annoyed by getting it sometimes of good quality nd sometimes of bad. The arrange- ments of the manufacturers for keeping ita quality equal are very elaborate and complete:, and are the results of many year* of experience and close observation It might be of interest to our readers to hear about a little trip which we took last week to Slreetsville and Toronto per bicycle. Leaving home on Thursday morning, we took dinner at Orangeville. upper at Itrawpton and went on to Strectsville, m-here wo arrived at 8.35 p. in. The actual travelling time for the 70 miles was 9 hours 'i~ minute*. Con- sidering that this was done on a solid wheel over some of the worst cycling r-'.uN in Oiitatio, the feat was not one to be ashamed of. The following morning Bro. Favvcett aiul ye Advance man rode in to the city, a distance of 22 miles. Wo found the harvest down there finished. A full grown specimen of felix domesti- canuv Ivlnnging to one of our citizens, was aid by somebody to have swallowed A snake the other day. Three or four of our seienU'io and arclwological young men divided that it would be a good act to liberate the snake, or discover how far the process of digestion had progressed . Kitty was accordingly coralled and run into the morgue, where she waa de- spatched and diuected. I' poll inspuc- ti M tho snako resolved itself into the head and winga of a bird. The students, not t bt entirely disappointed iu their search, decide*! to utilize the body for their own benefit. Tlie skin will accordingly be tauued and made into a pair of ear pads fer the scribe (it will require it all) for winter use. The bones were well boiled and the archaeologist will pnesets the ahull while the other bones will be equal- ly divided between the doctor, ambulance driver ami owner of the morgue. Fresh Fish. Frrah fiih delivered in Fleshertou e?ery Thursday at Munshaw's hotel. T. A. FISHKR. New Butcher Shop. On Monday of next week Mr. O. Keefer and \V. \V.

Thomas Thomas waa awakened one night recently by a painful sensation, and foun I a couple of weasels in search of blood, cutting hu throat. Painful wounds were inflicted, but fortunately the bites were not fatal. On Wednesday of last week, a union picnic under the auspices of the Farmers' Instil ute and Patrons of Industry of Uutfeiiu county wsa held at Shelburnv.

On seeing the hono here the buyer claimed the animal had spring-halt and would not take it. Clark then Rave the buyer a blowing up and so-ight a lawyer to see if ho could not compel him to take the horse and pay the price agreed upon. In tho meau- time Watson went and tried > lay an in- formation against Clark for secuting money under false pretence, but was in- formed such a charge would have to be defended at Walkarton.
