Whebe moth and rust doth not corrupt,' is where to lay up treasure the farmers hay« missed the mark this year in regard to spring wheat, which a month ago was considered a valuable treasure, but, since has badly rusted. Dr. Oldham, of Chatsworth, and Mr. BamagC; of the celebrated Chesley flour mills, were in town on Tuesday last. The latter eame to stte Mr. Plewes' new patent wheat cleaning machine, leaving his order for one. They both returned same day. How some business men can have the gall to accept a gratuitious notice of tneir business, and the first traveller comes along give him an order for their letter heads and any other printing they may require, is more than we can understand still they do it. The fitst quarterly meeting for the present y«ar of the Eupkrasia Metho- dist Mission was held last tiunday in the Providence church^ The congre- gation was large, and the meeting throughout was a time ol refreshing coming down from the presence of the Lord. The phrase "printer's devil" owes its origm to tiie fact that the first errand boy employed by William CVxton, the first prmter, was the son of a gentleman of French decent named De Ville, or Deyille, and the name thus came to be applied to printers' apprentices. Ill Luck.â€" One night recently a two year old colt belonging to Mr. John O'Brien, of Euphrasia, being tied with halter shank to sirsingle to hinder his jumpuag fences, got its hind foot oyer the strap and became so used up in its eflorts to get extricated that it died from the effects. John McNassar, Bondhead, writes "Whenever I feel out oi sorts, billons, or mv liver not working wright, or racked with a headache, Itake Chase's Mandrake Dandelion Lirer Cure. There is more real benefit from one dose of your Liver Cure than in many bottles of some medicines." wpt.

'-â- â- .- Poisoned. â€" On the 18th John B. Holden a child 4 years old, son of B. Holden, of 10th line, Osprey, was poisoned. by Bough on Bats which had been put ou the window for fly poison. Coming in he drew his finger across the plate lioked it off, and died within three hours. â€" Collingwood Bulletin. A WoBLDLY'WisB ExHiBiTOB at a late agricultural show divided a bushel ot peaches, entermg one half in hie own name, and the other in the name of a gentleman of some prominence in the place. His own half was unnoticed, but the other half bushel took the prize, proving that there is something in a name. Accident. â€" Mr. Hamilton Malcolm, sawyer in Webster's saw-mill. 9th line Euphrasia, happened with a serious accident on Tuesday last. It appears he accidentally backed against a circu- lar saw, receiving a severe cut of nine inches in length in the flesh part of the hip. Dr. Carter was sent for and dressed the wound. The Markdale lodge of A. 0. U. W. is in a healthy and prosperous con- dition. They were out in force last Monday eyenicg at the regular meet- ing, when a pleasant hour was spent. Mr. B. H. Byers, of Bochester, N. Y., and Mr. James McDougall, of Fort William, were present, being old members of this lodge. Some of the ladies of Markdale have kindly consented to giye a social in aid of the Bible Army at their barracks on Thursday, 27th inst., when the General and other officers are ex- pected to attend. Befreshments from 7 to 8 o'clock. Admission, adults 10 cents children 5 cents. Come one, come all and have a good time. Pboblbms oÂ¥ Nature. â€" This is the- name of a paper published in New York semi-monthly at $1.50 per year. It is devoted to scientific discussion and investigation is well printed, ably written and deeply interesting. It cannot fail to be highly appreciated by the readers. H. B. Philbrook, Editor, 21 Park Bow, New York. The Durham ChronicU says, Me- Alister gave a barrel of his fine old ale to a party of five, last Monday morn- ing. The result was a fight, after which the whole party lay down in the shed to sleep off the effects of their debauch. We were almost forgetting to add, that they were vig», but they acted much the same as men under similar iafluenoe. "He knows how it is himself." A PABAOBAPHlremthe Weekly ^«w« â€" "The week'« aews, as compressed in The WeeSUT, is complete. The Webklt, together with your local paper, will give you all the doings of the world. While talking about local papers, let me tell you to take your country paper whether yon take The News or not. A man who is too poor to take a local paper is either too poor or too mean to keep a dog." Wabning. â€" Here's another warning for our farming friends. Two strangers meet at a farmer's house to stay all night, and during the evening they get up a trade between themselyes, which requires a witness, and the farmer is asked to sign the papers simply to witeess the trade. If he does so he soon finds that his name is signed to a note which he has to pay. The law does not appear to touch these cases, and farmers should hang tLe first man caught at it. Mb. John Hopkins, saddler here, when living at the Sauble some six or seven years ago lost a small white mare, and although diligent search was made for hsr he heard nothing of her until a few weeks ago, when Mr. James Flemmg of Kilsyth, drove her into the village, ifr. Hopkins and several others who hadformerly known the beast at once nioognized her, and Mr. H. proceeded to trace out the yarioQS hands through which she had passed whtti he discovered that she had beeo sold by an Indian for $2.60, and had several timej since changed hands, falling into Mr. Fleming's possesdou through a trade. Mr. W. B. Simpson was armed with a wanani and4ait Tuesday he brongi^t her to 'Clbakinirorth and, dielivered heir to the propel^ owner.-^ CbatBworth 2\riit. Mb. and Mrs. D. E. Wright, of Toronto, are yisiting friends in Mark- dale and Flesherton. Gabdbn Pabtt. â€" On Friday evening last^ the Presbyterian garden party was held in the Agricultural Grounds, and, notwithstandying the yery heavy rain in the early part of the day and threatening aspect of the weather through the afterpart of the day and evening, followed with another down- pour in the evening, a good number turned out and the party was a success. The band was in attendance, and all enjoyed themselvei, having taken shelter in the hall. Proceeds $24. The ladies wish to thank the^band for their attendance and appreciated aid. Thebb are many deaf and dumb children whose parents are not aware of the Uberal provision made by the Province for such afflicted ones. Every deaf and dumb child in Ontario, of suitsble ago and capacity, may haye instruction and training in intellectual culture and in some useful occupation, by attending the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb at Belleville. There were 240 pupils in attendance last session, but as a number completed their education and left in June, there will be room for all for whom admis- sion is desired when the Institute re- opens in September. Abe You Made miserable by in- digestion. Consumption, Dizziness, Loss of Appetite, Yellow Skin? Shiloh's Yitalizer is a positive cure. Sold by A. Turner Co. x The Gbip Pbinting and Publishing Company, of Toronto, have just issued two magnificent lithographs, printed in five colors, of the Battles of Fisli Creek ind Cut Knife Creek. Thej" are v mpanion pictures to "The Capture of Batoche," and having been compiled from the most autnentic sources, they can be relied on to be true representatives of these memor- able engagements; Every Canadian who takes an interest in the history of his country should possess a copy of these plates, which will be sent post free by the publishers upon receipt of price, viz 8O0. each. The Toronto ^ews Co'y are wholesale agents. Fob Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, you have a printed guarantee on overy bottle of Shiloh's Yitalizer. It never fails to cure. Sold by A. Turner Co. x Municipal matters in Euphrasia are, as usnal, commencing to be agitated several months before election time. Mr. Myles is spoken of as a probable candidate for the reeveship in opposition to the present reeve, Mr. Gilray. The latter is just getting the finances of the township into a cood shape, and we think it would be very unwise to remove him from his present position. Mr. Shepherdson is men- tioned as a candidate for deputj- reeveship, also W. J. Black and Henry Hurd, any of which would be prefer- able to the present one, Mr. Fawcett no doubt the latter is a "jolly good fellow" but this stamp of men are as a rale mere tools in a public capacity and Mr. F. is no exception to the rule. Since the aboye was put in type we had a conversation with Mr. Black, who stated that he has no intention of seeking election to the deputy-reeve- ship the coming year. The admmistration have taken a very necessary step to secure the safety' of the settlers in the North- West by putting in force the measure pas6cd last session in reference to the sale of ammunition to Indians. Any one selling fixed ammunition or ball cartridges to Indians without permis- sion of the Superintendent-General of Indian afiiairs is liable to $200 fine and six months imprisonment. ThU provision of the law oaght to be rigid Sy enforced, and it is to be hoped tiiut the granting of the necessary permiis- sion will not become such a farce as the giving of liquor permits by Lieat.- Govemor Dewdney. Anybody can obtain a whiskey permit by paying for it, and if the business of supplying the redskins with powder and lead is worked on the same principle, the only effect of tbe law will be to pub moatfj mto the pockets of government officiius. il- 11 .^i â-  A ,i: iteU'f •' ,1 'yv. ..si:! wmmmm
