Agassi-coautâ€"When Mrs. Au- drew orranee went into her garden on Thursday morning to see whether there was any corn fit to eat. she found the queer-est looking car we ever beheld. It is enormously large and heavy, partly curved. and some of the grains of cornâ€"all of which are of a dirty gray color and watery lookingâ€"are the size and shape of broad beans. The mon- strosity is probably the result of high feeding. THE Canesâ€"The harvest is drawing to a close, and the yield of all kinds of grain except oats is iairly satisfactory, wheat being so far above the average that Some farmers say it is the best they have seen for twenty years. There is a good crop of hay, but not equal to the last two, though we have been told that it is of better quality. The pro- longed drought, which it is to be hoped is near its end, is bad for roots, and unless we have rain, and plenty of it, before long, potatoes will be scarce and dear. i, Daniel Ritz, proprietor and publisher of N O. the Hamburg, Ont., Iii-Icpezia'cnl, says : “ I was suffering from dyspepsia. and liver trouble. I took a few bottles of Shiloh’s Vitiilizer and it cured me. Ican heartily recommend it.” ORANGE FUNERAL.-â€"â€"The late Rob- ert H. Donaldson having been an Or- angeman for upwards of forty years, he was buried with the customary Orange ceremonies. members from the Lllenatm, Cameron, Cnmbray and Burnt River lodges being in the procession. As the- deeeascd was a member of the Church of England, the Rev. Wm. Farncomb officiated at the funeral, and the bell was tolled from the time the procession of Orangeinon, headed by the village band. reached Bond street until the remains were deposited in their final resting place. Aoiiicuurnaan Snowâ€"The annual fall show of the Fenelon Branch Agri- cultural Society will be held in the driving park grounds on Tuesday and Wednesday. October 2nd and 3rd, and, as the membership is new higher than it has beer. for some years past, it is to be hoped that there will be a corres- ponding impr0vement in the exhibition over the last two or three, which were far inferior to what they ought to have. been. The prize list is undergoing revision, and, when finished, will be published, together with the rules and regulations, in pa inphlct form. ‘ ACCIDENT.â€"On Thursday of last week Mr. Alfred Smith had his right hand rather badly injured while work! ing at the “ jointer ” in the Pulp Mill Co’s saw-mill in this village. A shaving or splinter from the edge of a shingle had got caught beneath the “glance board,” and. just as he pulled it out, a tooth of the rapidly revolving saw caught it and jerked his hand forward, and the second, third and fourth fingers were split up half way to the first joint. Dr. Graham dressed the wounds, and, when they heal, the fingers will probably be as useful as ever; but they were very painful for two or three days after the accident, which will of course lay Mr. Smith up for some little time.

Thomas Littleton and Samuel McCutcheon, and is now being painted, roof and all, by Mr. Edward Chambers. It measures :33 x 05 feet, and, though built up against two of the old storehouses, thus saving one side, it cost 8130. There is still room enough in the yard for a span of horses and waggou to turn around; but by the time the storehouses number halfa dozen, there will hardly be space in which to “ swing a cat," should Mr. Heard or any of his household take a notion to indulge in that recreation.

A blast of 1,100 pounds of dynamite in 27 holes was made recently at a 00' the face of a cliff and dislodging about 10.000 tons of stone, some of the blocks weighing nearly 25 tons. The holes were 20 feet deep, and the work of drilling is said to have cost $1,000, with 8250 more for the explosive. An illustration of the agricultural depressio'i in England is afforded in the fact that the rent of a farm of 800 acres in Kent, for which the owner paid $160,000, and which rented for $6000 a year for many years, has fallen to 81.500 3 year. Another farm, said to be one of the best in the county, rooted in 1880 for $4,500, and now rents for $1,500. At Newark, N. J., on Sunday, Thos. Hewitt. in a fit of typhoid fever delir- ium. stabbed his wife and her brother Fred. Purcell, inflicted serious injuries upon his seven-year-old daughter Adele, and then threw himself headlong from a window, receiving a fracture of the skull which caused his death a few hours later. His wife and brother-in- law are in a very precarious condition. By the burning of the train of oil and other freight at Cheektowaga on the morning of the 18th inst., the New York Central railway loses nearly $100,- 000, and brakeman Theo. J.

A girl residing in a Lake Michigan town has recovered $500 damages from a steamboat company for naming a boat after her without asking her permission.

Several Chinamen, who had been sent to the Chicago Bridcwell for keeping opium resorts, were about to be shaved when they set up a bowl and declared they would protect their queues with their lives. Supt. Crawford ordered his men to omit the shaving process. but to search the prisoners’ heads.
