Tho Sun, (Canada Farmer's Sun re- ofraniicd). has Diad« for itself a p'ace peculiarly its own. It is the one puper to which " Bystander, " one of the greiit- est living writers, is a regular contributor. Its M.irkot Reports, prepared especially for farmers, are unequalled. It gives in- formation on Agricultural matters, es- pecially regardinK new ideas and dev>Art- ures, such as no other paper attempts ; and its Stories and Selections are of the best. The Sun is the prest farm and home paper of Canada. You can get it, VHC*<he.r with this paper tor 1.30 a yew Alirays leadero, McFarland A Som.

Bracken, Samuel Wardell of Orangeville, benumbed by the cold, fell fron, the bucket by which he was being drawn to the surface. He dropped about .30 feet, disl.jcaling bis collar bone, breaking some of his ribs, and hia ankle was so injured that it is likely that it will have to be amputated. Wardell lay for three hours in tho bot- tom of the well before help arrived. An interesting case from this vicinity on trial at the Owen Sound Assizes this week is that of Harrison v. Ward. Ward and Alfred Uarriaon are e.'ecutors of the â-ºâ- slate of the late Alfred Ward, and the widow has brought this action to try and upset the will under probate, claiming to produce a will made at a later date. The case is attracting much interest here. Mr. R. J. Sproule is interesttd aa beini; agent for the widow. Another case of intorest is ihat of Watsi^n v. Hill. The jiartiea live in Markdale. The plaintilf s huaband was killed last winter in Hill's elevator, and the widow asks for sub- stantial compensation.

In a series of letters written by the wife of a Cabinet member to her sis tor at horn*, are detailed her ac'.ual ex- periences iu Washington, frankly and freuly given. The letters were written without any iutenti<mof publication. They aive intimate pcep.s behind the curtain of hijjh otfioial and S')ci*I lifo. They are ab- solutely- fearless, they stu.'y Wiudiington life under the search light a.s it has ntver been presented. Tho President and the highest otticials of the land, wi'.h the most bri liant men and women "f the Capital, areaeen in the most familiar way. .\s these are all actual experiences the name of the writer is witheld. The let- ters will doubtless excite much shrewd guessing by readers and study of internal evidence to discover the secret. The " Experiences," which will be beautifully illustrated, be«iu in the December num- ber and will continue for several months. PERSONALS Mossr*. R. J. Brown and S Gla^lstone, Owen Sound, wore guests of ye editor for a couple of d-iys during tha past week. They were after hare and succeeded in biigging ad"ze>i. Mr. Bon Bislop, lato barber of Flcsh- erton, left list week fir St. Louis, Mo., where he will spend tlie winter. Mr. Ward Harrison, Smith Mills,N. Y , is renewing »i<piaiijtan:!es here. Mr. Harrison removed from Arteuiesia with his fiimily hist spring. He likes the country of hi< adoption. Mr. Char'ey Murshaw, who is attend- ing the Northern Bu.siness College, Owen Sound, h.-is had tlie honor conterrod up- on him of being elf-Lted president of the college Literary Soc ety. Mr. M. R-chardson is attending Coutity Council this week. Mr. R. N. Henderson is a witness on the Waril case at tho Sound. Mr. R. J. Sproule is in Owen Sound attending the Assizes, Ho is interested in the Ward case. C. F. Saiiiiders, organizer of the I. O. F., was in town this week looking after the interests of the society here. Mr. F. H. Lyman, To^)n^o, is the Koest of Mr. M. Wilson., A Coon Hunt There is p*asibly nothing in the sport- ing hne more.ezcitng and romantic and pleusing than a coon hunt on a balmy evening in September or October when she mo in sliines bright and casts us silver h-do over field and forest, that is, providing your dog id well trained and up tu his business. The party moves al^ng the edges of, or through the forest, lantern in hand, oarryinn a pair of "creepers" fir climbing purposes, but without firearms, for they are unnecessary. Onward with joke and laughter the procession marches, across the fields, throutih the bush where tha moon's rays scarcely penetrate and hang ing limb* frequently draw red welts across ones face. Suddenly Carlo sounds the trumpet call ; he has got a scent and away he goes, helter skelter, on the trail. All caution is now thrown to the wind. Over logs, through brush heap.4, bogs, over hills and through hollows rush the party in a mad chase. But now the voice of the dog is lost in the distauce. A halt ia made and a con- sultation held. It is decided that he must be to windward. After a run of a hundred rods with tbe wind another halt is made, and keen ears detect the voice of Carlo far away through the bush. He is remaining in one place. He has treed his coon. How can one describe the mad raah that ensues ? It jjiuat not be attempted. The result is shown in barked sluns, scratched noses, torn clothes and divers bruises. Butâ€" good dog ! There he sits on a log lying vertically on a hill side, with bis nose pointing towards the top of a rather small tree quite easy to climb. War clubs are cut, tho creepers adjust- ed and up goes one of the party. After a careful scrutiny of the tree the ulurel- cume ucws is communicated that there ia no coon I It is then that the party be- comes sick, and sad, and weary. Has Procyon Lutoi escaped without the dogs knowledge ? The man in the tree begins to descend. Tbe dog, who, all along, has at intervals kept up hia eerie howling, becomes quiet, changes his bark ta a whine, and shows a distinct uneasiness.- VS hen he sees his master descending he jumps fruin the log and marches down the hill pjist the small tree to a large maple, and pointing bis nose straight up the tree liowli joyfully, as much as to say, "Tliisis tlij irej lUat he went up, gentle- men." There can be no mistake this time, for the mai ks of sharp claws can be traced on tha bark. Then the party becomes suddenly well, and joyful, and the weari- nass as suddenly departs. .-Vuothcr mem- ber of the 1 dtty volunteers to make tb» ascent. Up he noes,' with a 7-foit pole tied St his back, thirty, forty, sixty feet, to the topmost branches, which are sway- ing in the niglit wind. Tbe blight moon reveals a dark object at the uttermost limit of a large limb, and pursuer aud pursued aro face to face. There is a short, sharp debate as to the order < f precedence in the downward march, with the 7-foot stick as a persuiulei, and Mr. Coon, if ho has been properly convinced, will roll himself into a furry ball aud hurl himself thnjugh space, striking tho ground with a dull thud ! But the coon flog is waituig, and four coon hunters are on the watcli for that drop in fur. There is a rush, yelps, jaarls, shouts ; coon, dog and men, all in a bunch, crash through :ho bush unci down the hill. It is a battle royal ! One 20 pound coon to one dog and four men. But he fights like a Trojan ! At last he is conquered. What lovely fur .' How sleek and fnt ho is ! The clock strikes 12 as we arrive at home. Such is a typical Canadian coon hunt wilh a shrewd dog as pih.t. The sport is not common, owing to the scarcity of iiood dogs, but it is royal fun, Some- tiuies two or three coons are found in one tree or taken from diSfereut trees tho same evening. f^OR SJLLE Aqtmntitv of f»hinj:loB (or »ale at my mill. lot^W. con.
