A large number of cases were down for trial. but by settlement of some out of court and adjournment of others the docket was greatly reduced.

The Presby- terian is printed on superior paper and is strong, bright and interesting in all its matter. Three weeks ago we referred to the movement in Grey County to raise funds to purchase colors for the 31st Regiment, but had nothing defi- nite before us for this section of the county. Mr. W. H. Thurston, editor of the Flesherton AdvanCe, has con- sented to act as treasurer and will be pleased to receive and acknowledge through his paper all donations great or small that may be placed in his hands.

The hesvy gels of Thursdsy lust made stump and bush fires very dangerous. Mr. Jss. Genoe had a battle with fire on his place. We understand it got into the bush and did considerable damage to timber he intended to use soon for building purposes. Arbor Day was duly observed in the public school here. Some tree- plenting was done, flower-beds made and the grounds generally nicely cleaned up. A pleasing feature was the closing act. the hanging in the school of a fine picture of King Ed- ward, presented by Mr. M. K. Rich- ardson. M. P. After the picture had been placed in position by Principal Fawcett all joined singing the Na- tional Anthem and the balance of the day was taken for a holiday.

Miss Bell Henderson. of Wareham. has been added to Boyd, Hickling Co.’s millinery stafl. Miss Stella Loucks. who has been in Toronto for some time. returned home last week. Mrs. John Wright, Sr.. who has been laid up with a severe bronchial attack. is now on the mend. Mr. M. K. Richardson was home from Ottawa over Sunday and Mon- day. Mrs. Sheppard. Sr.. has returned from an extended visit with her daughter at Toronto Junction. and MISS Emma Sheppard has gone to the Junczion to take a position in her brother’s otiice. “ The organist should stop and oil up,” is the whisperings of every stranger who comes to the meetings in the school. It would be no sin for them to go on strike until the section puts the organ in smoother running order. It would remind all of the Irish woman’s pig. its squeal is the weightiest limb of it. Mr. and Mrs, Van Dusen visited Saturday last with their son J. F. and wife at Dundalk. Rev J. A. and Mrs. Matheson, of t’riceville. were visitors at. the manse on Thursday last. Miss Mc’l‘avisli, of Mount Forest is visiting her brother, Mr. D. Mo 'I‘avish, this place. Mr. J. J. Thompson, of Orillia. accompanied by his mother, of Mid- hurst. paid old friends in this place and vicinity a short visit last week. Mr,\Vm. Heard, of Kemble. is visiting his brother John H. here. Mr. Jas. Ritchie has commenced to brick veneer Campbell’s house. He also has the contracts of Messrs. Wm. Sirrs’ and Alex. Allan’s veneer- ing. and it is by no means his first contracts in this part. Mr. \Vm. Gordon is his head clerk. An upset and runaway last Friday. just south of the town, on the elem vated road adjoining Camp Creek. has caused many to speculate on the mishaps that are likely to occur when drilling for oil is commenced. It is well known tomost people south of Durham. and has been spoken of by strangers, that there is no piece of. road they travel that horses are more timid in crossing. \Ve imagine it is caused from its close proximity to the slaughter house, and when the smell of gas and oil is combined and the sight of a steam engine at work few horses will care to pass. If a good board fence was built on the east side of the road it might save many a dollar’s worth, and it is also needed in winter as a snow fence It wasa bit of pleasant news for the Corner people to read of the mar- riage of Miss Mary Sharp to Mr. Henry Woodiwiss on the 16th of April, both of Rose City, Mth., but the bride was formerly of this sec- tion, and one of the most reliable ones in everything that was taken up for the welfare of the place. We are all most sincere in extending the best of good wishes. The Corner people witnessed a har- rowing scene last week when Mr. Ben Crittenden’s colts ran away with a harrow jumping fences in their flight until they reached the road. The harrow was somewhat disfigured but no further harm done. Fishing season is in again. but un- fortunately we are unable to partici- cipate in any big fish stories. Our most successful fisherman happens to be a Frenchman without a word of English and, therefore. has to un- dergo the humiliation of showing his fish instead of telling the story. and there is no sensation nor any account of the big ones that were lost. so for the time being we are entirely out of it so far as fish stories are concerned.

We are pleased to see Mr. Isaac Crittenden recovering nicely from the paralytic stroke of a few weeks ago. It is nearly fifty years since he spent so much time in bed before. at which time he had his leg broken while teaming between Durham and Guelph, and it was so successfully set by two Arthur farmers that it healed perfectly even after being driven home thirty miles next day on his wagon with the exception of a couple of miles at the end of hisjour- ney. which was on a sleigh. Of course a doctor was called in when he got home to examine it. He pro- nounced it all right and charged 312, not that he had to make any altera- tions or improvements. but simply because he was needing the money. Mien Malinda Gresby, who came up from Scarborough to help take care of her step father. is indispoee-i at present. The teachers and scholars snagged up the school yard nicely on Arbor Day and planted some shade trees.

We are sorry tn learn of the severe , illness of Mr. James Moriee. He has ? been eufleringr for some months with lung trouble, and to add to their. trouble their little boy fell from a' scaflold in the barn and broke his arm. Hope they will soon be well again. The Hutton Hill peOple had a lively time last Thursday with a bush lire, which threatened to destroy Mr. Geo. Cufl's buildings and the schoolhouse, but fortunately the wind changed and rain fell just in time to save the buildings. ' The masons are this week building; the foundation for H. W.
