Mr. C. P. Cole wa* up before Magis- trate* Richardson and Vandusen on Monday on a charge of cruelty to ani- mals, preferred by Mr. Wm. Burnett. The case wa* withdrawn, however, each party paying his own costs. Mr. Jehu Jelly of Shelburn* died on Friday, 6th in*t. Mr. Jelly i* well known a* the discoverer of the bones <<f two prehistoric animals, a mastodon and a mammoth, one of which he exhibited at our fall fair here a few yean ago. Before going on a sea-voyage or into the country, be sure aud put a box of Ayer's Pill* in your valise. You may have occasion to thank ua for this hint. To relieve constipation, biliousness, and nausea, Ayer's Pills are the best in the world. They are alao easy to take. Mr. W. Ramhouse had thirteen or fourteen head of cattle turned into hi* garden on Saturday night They de- stroyed 300 heads of cabbages, a lot of corn just bt for use and a quantity of other vegetable*. Mr. Barnhouse be- lieve* it to have been the work of some malicious individual. One advantage of taking Ayer's Sarsa- parilla to purify the blood is that you need not infringe upon your hours of labor nor deny yourself any food that agrees with you. In a word, you are not compelled to starve or loaf, while taking it. These are recommendation* worth considering. The Walkerton Telescope mentioned the fact that Hro. Mitchell of the Han- over Poat drove through that town re- cently behiud a spanking blood mare, whereat liro. Mitchell attempts to cor- rect the Telescope by informing it that the mare was a k. me. Tlid Advance would like to know if the Post man sup- posed, from the remarks of the Tele- scope, that it thought the mare was a cow ? Inu'tauy mar a horse, dear boy providuiu; it hasn't been docked and i* nut hidebound 1 A steer was wandering around the streets in great agony one day recently, with both its eye* put out. Who owned the animal or what became of it e do not know. The wicked act i* supposed to have been the work of some inhuman wretch who would have made a first das* howlint; Iri|ii"is Indian had he lived 900 years ago. It it hard to believe that there aro living to-day individuals of such vicious nature* that they will wan- tonly main- aud wound God'* creature*) ': tliih way, yet they are evidently here. The financial district meeting of the Owen Sound district of tho Methodist church was held in Markdale on Monday afternoon last, the Rev. Alfred I'.rown, chairman of the district, presiding. After the businew was gone through with a very animated discussion took place on a resolution introduced by the Rev. Dr. Campbell of Dandalk, urging the district meeting to memorial** Ike Toronto conference committee to invite the Rev. Dr. McKee of the United States to conduct the religious eiereiae* at th* next conference during it* session*. Tkia resolution WM strongly opposed by Rev J. Mahan, Rev. 8. H. Kd wards and otatn. Th resolution was loat, . In tftw evening an interesting Sabbath School meeting was held, the Rev. Mr. Brown in the chair. Telling addresses were de- livered by Rev. H. Lee on the Relation of Temperance to the Sundayschool, and M. Ricliarthvni, on the Qualification* of Teachers, and Rev. Mr. Scott on the Re- lation of Children to the Church. The choir rendered some tine (election*. A peculiar and fatal disease broke out among several herd of cattle in Osprey some weeks ago which rather puzzled the local veterinary surgeons for a time. The same disease has been prevalent in Nor- man by and i-i the vicinity of Gait, ac- cording to Mt. Fi rest paper* The dis- ease i* generally fatal within twenty-four hours. Dr. Ottewell of this place diag- noses it as anthrax, caued in the Osprey case* by eating marsh grasses along the river. He fiel quite positive of it* idea thy. Anthrax is contagious oymnoc- ulation. There are several kinds which show different symptoms The Owen Sound Time* print*) what purport* to be the law regarding stray animals, quoting the Ontario statutes as its authority. Will the Times), or any brother publisher, .kindly tell us just where in the statute* this law may be found f The paragraph referred to has, we believe, appeared in all the news- paper* in the country and crop* up an- nually. We made it our businew to look it up but were unable to find any author ity for the statements made. As the Times ia no doubt in a position to get ihe desired information, will it kindly give us the reference) Thia matter should be set right at once if the para- graph is in error, and if the law in stated correctly the people want to know where to find it. On Friday evening Ust a very ful tea and entertainment was held in the schoolhouse at the Station. The ladies exercised great taste and energy in the richness and abundance of the provisions they made for satisfying th* inner man. It has not been our experi- ence to see finer or more abundant bak- ing provided at any party during the Ma- eon. The intellectual portion of the en- tertainment was specially fine. The Rev. J. Mahan i-cnpivd the chair. Choice selections of music wer given by the Misses (Cells of Vandeleur.and little Miss Ashdown sanx swtetly. Appropriate re- citation* were given by Miss) Rutledge and the Whittaker family, and Ust but not least cnoid two uitnesting and in- spiring addresses by the Rev*. P. Hum- phreys and Bftlfoar.
