OTTN'S HORS Our former worthy sud gonial, towns- man, Mr. Stephen-Cotton, was calling on a few of his many old frienda4 in Bowman- ville on bis way home from Scotland whoeolhe went with a shipment of horses last month. He bas just cornpleted a verysuccessful year's business in shipping horses to eue of the largest herse'deaiers in Scotland, having made a shipment cf fromn 35 te, 40 herses a mouth during the summer mouths sud a lesser number since. 0f ahl bis shiprnts only three head were lest. The herses selected by Mr. Cotton seeiu te have given pretty goed satisfac- tion, as we hear lie bas becu eugaged by the saine gentleman te buy for another year. We do net wonder that the gentle- man wishes te continue Mr. Cotton's services, as a better judge of sîl classes of herses would be bard te fiud in this, country, sud lhe is the rigbt uman for the business in which hoe is engaged as hie is thoroughly acquainted with the country sud as hundreds cf our readers can testi- fy lie bas always beeu, well liked through- eut this district by the farmers sud dealers with whom he has doue business fer se many yesrs. The casas of herses Mr. Cotton wants, priucipally are carniage sud saddle herses from 15-3 te 16-2 bauds, frem 5 te 8 years, sound sud alright with plenty cf style sud geod action, as witbout these qualities they will net psy for shipping. Ho will always psy a Lrood price for this cîas cf herses. Persons writing te Mr., Cotton should be very careful te state the exact. paiticulars, as hie travelled thou- sands cf miles last year te see herses recommeuded te hiru, that did net corne up te the description given te, hiuî. Auy nman haviug such herses for sale new. or dnring the ensuing year should write te him> sud lie will caîl sure sud see the animal as soon as hoe can get round. If after writiug te Mr, Cotton the herse or herses should be sold before hie gets round a card ststing the fact should be sent te himý te save tîme sud expense. - He will bny; any time a fast trotting herse alright, or heavy draught horses over 1,600 lbs. sound sud right. He will advertise after a wbile some herses for street car sud heavy herses for van purposes. He can ship a large number of îvork herses if he canbuy themn for what they are worth fer shippiug, as the expeuse cf shipping is se large that it nearly kilîs the business, the cost on each herse being about $70 per head t-, land them at Edinburgh. Parties writiug te Mr. Cotton frem the country should stp.te county, township, concession sud lot, sud from cities street sud numb- er.

POI< TYPOOL'. Thursday -the l7th mast. will long b à remembered as a recl letter day by the people of Pontypool and vicinity, it be- ing the day of the dedicatory services in conno.ction with the new Methidist church here. In the merning a sermon characterised by niuch thought sud 'or- iginal producLion, was preached by R9v. Dr. Stone of Meaford to a large and, at- tentive congregation. 'At the close of the service hundreds of auxieus cnes repaired to Coulter's hall where the tables, were laden with almost everything that goes, to make up a sumptueus dinner. At 2:30 o'clock the beautiful edifice was again filled to almost overflowing. Alter sîng- ing by the choir and prayer, led by the Rev. W. R, Young, B. A., Milibrook, Dr. Stone uudertook te lquidate the debt upon the church asking for twelve hund- red and flfty dollars, the amount o! lai- debteduess, one thousand dollars having been already subscribed, and in the spae of a few houro, by the tack sud cheerful peraeverauce of the doctor and the gen- erosity of the people, fourteen hundred and tif ty dollars were subscribtd.' At six o'clock the people again repaired te dining hall where the tables almost groan- ed beneath their load and every one came away happy and satisfied.
