Our farmers are highly delighted with the beautiful weather, which we do not often get at this season of the year, and everyone is trying to make as much use of the time aa possible. Mr. and Mrs. D. McMillan visited frionds in Euphrasia recently. ReC. Mr. Kitching of Varney preached an Educational Beriuon in the Methodist Cluirch here Sunday week, which was followed by a good subscription. A young man within the limits of our burg took his best girl to the Holstein show. After spending the day.'and de- airing to return home, it was discovered that the horse had gone on ahead. How ever, a horse and vehicle was secured in which to got home. On his arrival he found that his horse had been stripped of its harneKH by Nome 0110 who consid- ered that he bad more right to it than the horse. The harnenx was new and has not yet been heard fnun.

He Saw Three Centuries The British Sovereign, who lately cele- brated with such eclut the completion of the sixtieth year of her reign, has, her- self already enjoyed more than the allott- ed share of human life, but it is most inter- esting to find among her subjects a man perfect in memory and in full po.sseKsion of his mental powers, who was 4i5 years of a^e when Queen Victoria ascended the throne. Such a person is old "D.iddy '• Hall who lives in his little cabin in the Driving park at Owen Sound, Canada. Daddy Hall was born in rhe year 1773. He is a half-breed Indian and negro â€" and \\: his youth lived with the Indians nn Wulpole Island and the adjoining main- land. Although he most rcsGrnblfs the negro in features and hair he is a thorough Indian in his habits and was known by the ludiaus of his tribe aa "Sho-ho-ho- liono" or " Big Smoke." About the year 1800, tho Canadian Gov- ernment, requiring an interpreter for the farm instructor of the Indians on the Credit Reserve, appointed Hall to that position. Accordingly he moved east with his sqaw and reniainud in the gnvcrn- meiit service until the war of 1812, when he was engaged as a scout, and did good service until early in 1815, when he wax captured tiy the American soldiers and taken a prisoner to Fort MoL'gs, from which ho was released uidy when the hos- tilities ceased. After the close of the war he made his «ay to Tonmto, squatting on the lake fnmt near the Humber river where ho farmed, lished and made Indian bark work, for a living. On the breaking out of tho Upper Can- ada rebellion he was taken a prisoner Dec. 5, 1837, and compelled to act aa guide to MacKenzic and hi* band. He was captured at Well's H 1 on the Dover- court road, near Toronto, and conveyetl to Montgomery's tavern on Yoii^o Street whence he escaped by night. Such are the most important incidents of his CHreer. Ill the war of 1812, Daddy was pierced by a bayonet whioh left iiiin lame on one leg, yet despite this he has been a most active man, and, unlike either Indian nr negro, has always led an industrious life. He baa now his fouith wife aiul is the father of nineteen uhildren, liia eldest dauu'liter beiiiR a groat-great grandmother. When about 95 years of ago, Dnddy lust tho last of his teeth and at that time had become quite bald. About ton y^ars sincH nature suplied the old man with a new set of teeih and a new head of hair, both of which he has to-day and in which ho takes ureat pride. Shakespeare divides life into seven stag- est he last of which is second childhood. If second childhood is the mark of the last stages of human life, then 'â- he subject of this sketch, although 114 years of age.has not left the sixlh rung of the ladder, and he may yet rival Jacob who is said co have lived 147 years. There is little rea- son to doubt that, after making a full spaa of the present century, ho will live to see the beiriniiiiiK of his third century. iProctor ^ The Tailor Will supply you with a nobby suit for fall.
