M I8S EDITH RICHARDSON From our own correspondent. There have been a good many visitors »t the Falls recently, .\iuong the . number were : Mr. Geo. Stewert, Flesh- ' ertoQ ; Miss Christian, Wiarton, and Mr. Dundas ot Markdale, who came over on bikes. I Dr. Rnlstiu, Shelburne, â- was the guest ' of Mr. Munahaw of the Euccnia House I last week, and pi-esided at a railway meeting held in the Ornngo Hall on I Thursday evening, when a large number were present. Kveii tlio ladies of Eugcni,-t ore taking a lively interest in railway matters.

They ran r\ distance of two miles and a half, while attached to a lumber wagon with a new sett of sprlnij tooth harrows on it. The wagon and harrows were completely torn to piecee and left scattered along the road for a distance of two miles, while the horses^ we believe, came off with a few slight scratches and agixxl heating up. We have been credibly informed that grain thieves entered the barn of Mr. Geo. Johnston of this locality a short time ago and took away a quantity- of seed peas, Mr. Juhintoii ' thinks it would be *i,se 'for them to return and settle for the peas and save any futher trouble, as the parties hajipened to leave a bag behind them in the barn with their name attached thereto. We con- sider that Mr. Johnston has a good cleir tocommeiicewiwk on andwetvould highly recomuiend hira to take action at once or have the matter investigated aa we think 3 it is hiiih lime there should be a stop put to this sort of work in this locality.
