THE Kincardine School Board at a recent meeting recommended the abolition of the Model School as soon as possible. It alleged that the num. ber of students at the Model School has materially lessened; that the services of the Principal have been lost to a large extent to the school during a considerable portion of the year ; that the pupiis are at a disad- vantage through being taught by amateurs, some of whom have no in- terest in them. It regards the lengthening of the Model School term as an aggravation of the evil. " I would simply say I give you the orange.” but should the transactiOn be entrusted to a. lawyer to put in. writing he would adOpt this'form: I hereby give, grant and convey to you all my interest, right, title and advantage of and in said orange, to- gether with its rind, skin, juice, pulp and pits. and ail right and advantage therein, with fullpower to bite, suck or otherwise ,eat the same. or give away with or Without the rind, skin, juice. pulp or pits, anything herein- beforeor in any ether deed or deed’s instruments of any nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.” Richard O’Neil, late of Glenelg, near Dornoch. died in Detroit laSt Thurs-lay, after a. few days" illness of typhoid fever.

A witty judge out in Topeka. the other day was dehvering an address on law and lawyers. He illustrated the law’s delays as follows: “IfI were to_give you an orange,” he said Itis rumored that Mr. John Mc- Arthnrwill be a candidate for the County Council at the next election. Watson and McArthur would fill the bill \nicely as our representatives from this district. - Dundalk Herald.

Watchmakcr and Jeweller, Sciflicitor for Executors Q,P.IEEFORD, DURHAM Priceville Lodge, No. 140 A. O, U. W. met in Union Hall last Sunday morning. After the brethren as- sembled had donned their regalia, they peraded to the Methodist church Bro. Geo. Arrowsmith acted as Mar- shall and conducted the parade in good workmanlike style. The Rev. J. S Humphries preached a. very able and nmSt interesting sermon from Isaiah, 32nd chap. and verse 2nd, to the large number of brethren, members of the congregation and others present. The little church was crowded, standing room being at a premium. After the service the Brethren assembled at the lodge rooms, Dr. J. F. Boyle, M. W., ad- dressed the lodge and welcomed the visiting brethren from Flesherton and Markdale. After a few addresses suitable to the occasion, it was mov- ed by Bro. Jas. McMullen and second- ed by P. M, \V. Bro. Neil McKinnon and carried unanimously that a cordial vote of thanks be tendered to the Rev. J. S. Humphries for the very able manner in which he ad- dressed the Lodge on this occasion, A man giving his name as C. P. Moore and claiming to hail from Montreal, was arrested at the in- ,stance of a number of settlers of Mc- Dougall on a charge of fraud. The modus Operandi of the alleged fraud is to call at a settler’s house ostens- ibly to buy cattle. sheep. wool, but- ter, eggs and all other kinds of farm produceHe states he is to have a cold storage car at Parry Sound on a cero tain date. and will give nine eents per pound for carcases of beef, lambs and sheep at almost double the prices heretofore paid, wool at the same preportion, and eggs and butter far in excess of what the farmers are paid in Parry Sound. The only con- dition of this purchase is that the farmer must buy something from the agent so as to be entitled to the in- creased prices. This seems a rea- sonable proposition, so the farmer buys the goods for which he is to give his note and pay when the agent buys the produce from the farmer. The goods are said to be cut into dress or pant or coat lengths, but when the housewife comes to meas ure up she finds that she has been given one and a quarter yards for a pair of pants for her husband and other pieces rather scant. One set- tler who gave his note for goods said to be worth $2350 brought them to town and had them valued, and the most they could be said to be worth was $13.06. The accused was taken before Police Magistrate Farrer yes- terday morning and remanded until Saturday. Just how many cases of the kind that will be charged has not been stated Parties complaining of being viccimized had better see Cheif Constable Goodall.â€"Parry _ Sound Star.

Our citizens were shocked this evening on learning of the sad death of Mr. George Elder, of Arnott, brother of the late Mr. William El- lder. Deceased left the house about half-past three o’clock yesterday af- ternoon and went back over the farm, and later was seen by his sis- ter standing on a bridge talking with Mr. Murray, which was the last seen of him alive. It is supposed he went back to where his Sister had been :picking berries. and not finding her there he went on to a Spring on the‘ adjoining.r lot for a drink. and while drinkingr or in the act of StOOping for a drink vas seized with a fit or heart failure and had fallen into the water, When he didn’t return in the even- ing his sister went out to look for him, but found no trace of him. but did not think that anything serious had befallen him, supposing that he might be at some neighbor’s house. When he did nOt return through the night a search was made for him early in the morning, when his body was found by Mr. Malcolm Cameron lying lace downward in the water. Of late: he was badly troubled with an affection of the heart to which his death is no doubt attributable. Deceased was a sober, industrious, honorable man, highly reSpected and in comfortable circumstances. His sister and nephew. Master Eddie El- der, have the sympathy of the whole community.â€"-Chatsworth News. A rur :l correspondent in one of our exchanges mentions tnat the church of which he claims to be a consistent member is much in need of a choir. There are , he a"ers, sexeril yo 10mg ladies res: ding in the locality who are good singers t ; but they absolutely decline to give the t'lllil'Ch the beneâ€" fit of their vocal ability. This leads the correSpondent to quote the old proverb: “ A bird that Can Sing and won’t sing- ought to he made sing.” Yes, but it is usually the bird that can’t sing that is always wanting to sing. There are some of these birds in fraternal societies and; even in church choirs. They gener-‘ ally bob up with a very pathetic bal-l lad or a sacred solo and there is al- ways relief when the agony is over. HIS WONDERFUL NERVE. [Intended for last week] PRICEVILLE. To PITEIT Good Ida: may be secured by our aid. Address, TIE PATENT RECORD, Baltimore. I6 Mrs. Haskins, for twenty years, sufiered from rheumatism and Neu- ralgia, The very first dose of South American Rheumatic Cure gave re- lief, and one bottle so greatly im- proved her that she thought it was almost magic. Mt. Forest tax rate is 23 mills on the dollar, Mr. Haskins says that. he sufiered for years from dySpepsia and indi- gestion. By the advise of his pastor he purchased a few bottles of South American Nextvine and WRS cured. Mr. Haskins praised South American Nervine, while his wife cannot say enough in favor of South American Rheumatic cure. ‘ Closely allied to this plant is the Prickly Lettuce, but distinguished from it by its leaves. the midrib of which is quite spiny. This variety is somewhat troublesome in pastures. but it can be eradicated by cut- ting and burning before it seeds, or by following the same method as for Mustard. ANNUAL SO\V THISTLE, COMMON SOVV 'I‘HISTLE, OR MILK TIIISTLE An annual weed introducedifrom Europe. It grows 2-3 feet high, has fibrous roots and leafy stem, and is not quite so large or coarse as the Perennial Sow Thistle, The leaves are much lobed, and have short, soft spines, Each head is manyfiowered; but the flowers are small, about .. in, across, and of a pale yellow color. {The seeds are brown, thin, and about 1 in, long, with longitudinal markings. and attached to the top is a large tuft of fine hairs united at the base. Time of flowering, June«August. Time of seeding, J uly-August. Dispersal-chiefly by the wind. ERADICATION.-â€"Cultivate stubble-ground 1 and sod early after harvest and throughout the fall as for Canada Thistle. Follow with heed crop, preferably corn or roots, and cultivate thoroughly throughout the growing season. Use the cultivator, in- stead of the plow, after roots or corn; sow a crop of grain and seed with clover ; if prac- ticable, pull the weeds by hand out of the grain crop ; take one or two crops of hay or pasture. and again break up the sod, plow- ing, harrowing and cultivating as for Thistles, Fifty Years in Durham.

Where this cannot be done, use the same method as for Mustard. A perennial weed introduced from EnrOpe. with long, deep tap-root, which, when dried and ground up, is used in adul- terating coffee and as a substitute for it. The stems are almost leafless, from? to3 feet high, much branched, slightly hairy and whitish in color, The leaves, spread out on the'gronnd, are long, with irregular edges. The flower heads are numerous occuring in clusters, without flower stalks, on the naked branches. The flowers are about 1.1; inches across, bright blue in color. and are usually closed by noon. The seed is about 5, in. long, tapering to a blunt point, the opposite end havmg a fringe of minute hairs around the crown. The body of the seod is corrugated. An average plant pro- d uces about 3,000 seeds. Time of flowering, July-October. 'l‘ime of seeding, August~0ctober. Dispersalâ€"frequently as an impurity in clover and grass seed. The gallant Major Swaine tells of being knocked senseless by a lion that lacerated his arm. His thrilling escape from the jaws of death is only equaled by Dr. King’s New Discov- ery for Consumption, which has saved thousands from desperate Throat and Lung troubles. “All docters said my wife would soon die of Consumption,” writes L.

NOXIOUS WEED. (Continued next week.) THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. The above is a synoposis of what appeared in the Brantford Courier at the time, but it is only quite recently that we gleaned the facts from Mr, Black, Sr.. or we would have men- tioned the facts sooner. Mrs. McKay, of St. Charles, Sagi- naw 00., Michigan, is visiting her only daughter, Mrs. W. H. Arrow- smith, and her many other relatives. Mr. Robert Waits is hired for a month with Mr. Geo. E. Arrowsmith. Robert is an excellent servant. As yet, he lives in single blessedness, ,but is said to cherish fond hopes for the Morrow. A plucky deed and one worthy of the Royal Humane Society medal was performed by Mr. J. A. Black, son of Mr. Neil Black, of Scotchtown, last spring. Mr. Black is keeper of the Ontario Hotel, at Onondaga vil- lage, and it was during flood timel that a Mr. Isaac, his wife and an old lady were crossing the Grand river, when the boat turned over, about 50- feet from shore. They clung to the upturned boat for some time, when Mr. Black hearing of their predica- ment, rushed to the rescue. At that time there were several on the bank who had not been able to do any- thing. Mr. Black at once seized'a plank, and putting it under his chest, commenced to swim for the scene. When he arrived the old lady had sunk twice and he grabbed her by the shoulder. Then he told the other two to still hang on to the boat and by great exertion he pluckily towed all three to the shore amid the loud cheers of all who saw the plucky and- Mrs. C. J.
