This has been. betause 1 his methods are bad. Putting out ‘ poison in a promiscuous way about a . town is a peril to other animals than dogs, and to other dogs than those that give offence. Besides his work is done in a very uncertain fashion. If the right dog does get the prescrip- tion it may be in doses either too large or too small, and to see even the canine that has been most obnoxious, languishing to death or recovery in some alley-way is not among the pleasant things in life. There is also danger of the animal becoming frenzied and doing damage. At the same time we sympathize with the people whose plundered lardeis or broken sleep, stir up their profanity against the pilfering, barking nuisances that infest this town. 'When A.

Mosr PEOPLE are more or lessl familiar with what is known as.the servant girl problem. Its chief develop- ment at present in this town appears to be getting the servant girl. the numerous enquiries at this office for her, it is evident that she is more e this summer. Of ; l course there are girls an be employed and called . in all the elements of usefulnesss that igo to preserve pleasant relations between maid and mistress, most of the available servants are said to be sadly lacking. *‘ Ln (hr 9 The quest now seen “country girl.” In t‘ some advantages over reme auu Lou-v --' not as popular as the young woman who from her quiet, industrious life on the farm brings both domestic skill and wholesome personal habits into her employees’ home. It is sad, however, to learn that many of these are quicker to notice than they are strong to resist the examples set by the girls of the town. In fact they are often in haste to be- come town girls themselves. Once that is accomplished they are regarded as of that undesirable class, and hence the demand is steady and strong for the country girl. ,L ~AA‘J Luc Luuuu, 3.... That most town girls are not good servants, and that many country girls fail to retain their good qualities long alter coming to town, surely does not reflect great credit on the girls. It mistresses. Girls generally live in the homes of the people for whom they work. If most of them deteriorate in these surroundings it is certainly not lunreasonable to suppose that the influences around them are to some extent at fattt. In a civilizedâ€"to say nothing ofa christianâ€"community, it is perhaps not too much to expect that teacher will have an interest in the welfare of his pupil, the master in that of his servant, and the mistress in that of her maid. It may not be out of place to suppose that each of the st former will reflect in a greater or less' degree the character of the latter. In that case the. servant girl’s defects may be traced to other than innate sources, and mistresses may stand admonished by the very faults they so flutently up- »hraid in their domestics. A lady who is well intormed on this subject recent- lly told us that with a small percentage 10f exceptions the servant is what the mistress makes her. A woman who employs a servant girl and brings that girl into her home, surely has other duties toward her than paying her wages and locating the broken china. . If she knows more about housekeep- it ing than the girl does it is her privi- it lege to instruct her and the girl's privilege to learn. If she knows or cares anything about humanity she will be kind and patient, and the girl will likely detect these graces as readily and appreciate them as much as the lady’s pastor. Their absence she will probably discover more quick- ly than Will the reverend gentleman: Many servant girls are apprentices in ‘_the great art of housekeeping. Their more cultured mistresses ought to be their instructors both in this art and in things pertaining to their personal good. The woman who takes hold of helthese duties Wllh strength and sense and succeeds in making capable house-' >ut keepers ot the young women in her employ, 15 greater by far than if she a distracted patient audiences with shrill an demands for temale suffrage. la ll lSC However all this may be, it is certain there is now a brisk demand for capable servants in this town, and the intelligent country girl is by long odds the favorite. THERE IS a tendency among drivers and wheelmen to go up the north side and down the south side of Kent st. in the evenings. It would make for convenience and comfort if this was made a general custom. ‘I THE FARMERS’ excursion has be- ;come a very enjoyable and popular ON ANOTHER page we publish a splendid article on the live hog trade, taken from the Farmers’ Advocate of London.

Agricultural Society. held at Kirkfield Friday, 9th inst., was in many respects a progressive model of the meet- ings of the directors of this now famom society. The directors present were J. W. Chirpztw, president; Dr- Ross, lst vicc~ president; Alex. Jamieson, 2nd vice- president; W. A. Fannin . M. Healy, I. Naylor, A. Webster, M. Iavgarth, John Barrett, James Black, F. Lytle. Many l improvements were made in the prize list. |Several new classes were made. and the prize for speeding-in-the-iing made worth , keener competition, which is now fully ex- ected. The dates of the 1899 fair are uesday and Wednesday, Sept. 19th and 20th. Nothing is left undone by the en- thusiastic board of directors of ’99 to have the now famous North Victoria agricul- tural fair far ahead of any ever held at Victoria Road. The greatest care has been taken to se‘ect competent judges. In every branch committees are ap pointed so that every department may be expected to run like a clock. A. C. MCLEAN On June 2nd Mr. A. C.

Scotland, 70 years ago and came to this country during the stormy days of 1837 and settled on the farm from which his remains were carried on Thursday.

They are: John. who resides near the homestead; Mrs. James Graham, Burnt River; Mrs. Thos. \Vilson, ‘ Emily; Harry and Emily who reside on the homestead with their mother.

Crouth- er’s. at Jacob’s Island, was washing the dishes after tea, when a bolt entered the gable end of the house, tearing out and wrecking 1; large portion of the end and the roof. Passing ‘ through an upper room it took two of the legs off the bedstead, upset things generally, and then passed down the stove pipe into the room below, where Mrs. Crouthers stood. The electric fluid struck the lady on the shoulder, and passed down the side into her foot, tearing her clothes and leaving a burnt mark in its track. She was knocked unconscious, and fell on the stove, but it was not very hot. A loy was in the same room and was only slight- ly stunned. Mr. Crouthers was in the front room and was only slightly allected, and a child on the bed slept through it all calmly and undisturbed. Mr. Crouthers rushed to his wife at once and took means to revive her, and then went to a neighbor who paddled to Bobcay- geon for medical assistance. Mrs. Crouthers suflered severely with the burn and at first her 1 ' hearing was slightly afi'ected,'but she is now _ recovering nicely. It might not be amiss to mention that in case of burns, oil is a good thing to csver with, and if there is nothing f else, sweet cream gives relief. The object is to exclude air.

It is necessary to obtain assistance from the Dominion government, and on Thurs- day evening last a deputation from this town and county proceeded to Ottawa to join other deputations in promoting the objects in view.
