Mutual. not desired ut this season of the year No small excitement was caused here last Saturday over an assualt upon Wm _ Eckmier by Edward Woods. 'Trouble arose over 14 head of the former's cattle getting into the latter's tield. Stock was impounded in village pound and $14.00 chalked up against them. It turned out that expense was on Woods, however, be- cause it was his share of the line fence that cattle went through. To get satisfaction (of a very poor kind) the attack was made and considerable in- jury done before a stop was put to the fracas by passers by. The case came before Reeve Leckie, at Brus- sels, last Tuesday evening with the result that Woods was sent to Goder- ich for trial fer aggrayated assault.

The hours of painful regret that ensue seem to teach no lesson of moment. e apple always was a great temptation. So long as children are children it is safer to have a reliable remedy on a handy shelf, than at- tempt to corner the apple market. The safest and surest thing we know of is Nyal's Wild Strawberry Compound. It contalns opiates, but by its direct antiseptic action on the bowel converts the "green apple poison" and soothes the irritated bowels, gently checking the dysentery. We have plenty. of remedies for Summer Com- plaints, but we have to place reliance on Nyal's Wild Strawberry Compound. When all who use a remedy are enthusiastic in ils praise and we know from its composition that it is safe, we feel justified in asking you to ac- cept our recommendation. Only 25 cents a bottle, E.

A few days of bright warm sunshine will perfect the peaches, and eyery indication points to the juciest, best developed fruit we have had in years. It is perhaps unfortunate that the trees are not carrying the quantity of peaches that they have in former years. From the standpoint of the housewife, however, this is not a misfortune. It simple mean that with less peaches to the tree, the size and quality will be above the standard. This will be an unusually good year to can, preserye and jam peaches. With so much uncertainty about the crop from year to year, it | | would pay the thrifty housewife to put down an extra supply. It is certain that there will not be any improvement in quality and the price promises to be moderate.
