The spectators were fully half ladies. " -^Canadian type stents are much dissatisfied at the Government's decision to purchase the presses for the new printing bureau in New York, which they contend is a departure from the principle of protection. â€" At a recent meeting of the Dominion pouncil, Boyal Templars of Temperance, it was decided to erect » tent in the grounds during the Toronto Industrial Exhibition, in which addresses will be delivered every day by prominent temperance ad- vocates.

The losses of the month aggregate over fourteen millions of dollars, or just double the average for the month during the last twelve years. â€" A terrible disaster occurred near Chatsworth 111. shortly before mid- uight CD Wednesday, the 10th inst., a crowded excursion train for Niagara Falls being wrecked by running into a burning culvert. Two engines alnd ten cars were piled in a heap the on track, nearly all of the occupants be- ing" either killed or injured. The xiumber of the dead is about 90 the wounded numbering nearly as many. ' â-  -Y â€" A wonderful discoveiy of antbraeitt) coal has been made on the property of a farmer named Nix. living about nine miles east of Campbellford. The quaUty is of the best, having been tested by an expert ohemisii in Toronto, and the indications of a large seam are good. The proximity of this bed of coal to the iron beds is of the greatest importance to the country. Experienced miners from Fen^Ivenia are expected here in a few days, when farther developments are expected. â€" Bev. Dn W^drope 'in a recent^ article on the Indians of the.

Many are grbatly m need of water. Harvesung still going on. Mr. Badley has purchased a binder, and severid tried peapuUers, but opinion seems to be diyided ccmcraning the usefulness of the latter. Those who bought binders appear to be highly pleased with fhe result. For some weeks no section seemed to have the promise of an abundant crop more than this neighborhood, but the reports now are not altogether satisfactory. Fail wheat and barley good, spring wheat injured by midge and rust, pease good, oats especially these late sown are badly rusted. Some potatoes were injured by frost last week. A pleasing instance of neighborly sympathy, happened last Tuesday night when in response to an invita- tion about fifteen neighbors turned out and bound up all the lying down grain of Mr. Harry Guy. Mr. Guy is still unable to work, his leg being very little better. A bee of very different description took place one day last week as Bev. Mr. DA rgent was passing by Mr. Wm. Guy's when the latter gentleman was extracting honey. Fortunately Mr, D'Argent's horse was released from the buggy, by timely assistance and a runaway thereby averted. Maxwell is growing two more little residents. Papas will plcdse accept congratylations and well wishes. Mr. Sandford Tuck arrived home from Michigan a few days ago. Mr.. Moore, who for nine years has been a resident of the Sault acc9mani- ed by his mother visited friends in town last week. We are glad to notice by the report of the 2ud class departmental Exam- ations that Miss Ella Kerr, has success- fully passed, congratulations Miss Kerr. We believe it is the intention of the District council of B. T. of T. to hold their next meeting in Maxvirell, on the 6th Sept. an excellent programme is being arranged for the open meeting in the evening. A hearty invitation is extended to all. It is commonly reported in our village that, as two young ladies' were returning home rather late one night their walk was disturbed by visions of a bear in a church shed close by the road. Of course they threw stones at it, but unluckily did not kill it. The young^ladies' vouch for d|.e truth of this, :â-  ' Betomed to JLUe.
