W. Wilson, Fleshertou. Mi.ss Hannah Bellamy has removed her dressmaking establishment; to Clayton's block, in the premises lately occupied as a tailor shop. Miss Minnie Bellamy and Miss llcMullen iu charge. Children's wear and fancy waists a spei-ialty. All kinds of dressmaking done. Always pleased to have laclie-s call. Tha exodus of farmers to Manitoba this spring is something phenomenal. Al- though there are probably not so many going frt.m here as from some sections, still ^he movement is very marked. Eleven tickets were sold here Tuesday morning and others went by evening train. Of those going from this point the m.ijority are young men bent on seeking their fortune in glowing golden West. Rev. Ivison Wilson has not yet return- ed from the bedsideof his mother at Brigh- ton, whose life's thread is very frail and whose death may occur at any moment. The Sunday morning service in the church here was conducted by Mrs. F. Nicholson and the evf>nini; service was under the auspices of the Bible Society, the speak- ers being Sir. A. S. VanDusen, Mr. J. Pelatead and Rev. Mr. Hurlburt of the Baptist chapel. Mr. Lafayette Badgerow of the 4th line, brought in a bird's nest on Monday which is certainly a curiosity and has been added to our museum. The nest is beauti- fully woven with horsehair, lined with wool, in form like a bag, five inches deep. It is strengthened with cotton strings woven in and around the fibreand by these strings the nest was actually tied to the limb on which it was built. We believe it to bo ail oriole's nest, but would like some of our expert oriiitLologists to call in and give their opinion. It: is certainly a marvelous piece of work for a bird and displays a wonderful degree of intelli- gence â€" an intelligence almost; human. This piece of art was found in the top of a large maple t;ec. A startlingly sudden death occurred on Friday last in this township, when Mr. Charles Hales, a wull known farmer of the O. D. R., w.is called away wi bout a moments warning. Mr. Hales \>:is an un- niavried man, 46 years of age, and was the support of lii.s a<»ed mother and a sister. Ue farmed the oldhointslead. On Thurs- day evening he went to bed in good health, apparently tiale and he.irty. On Friday morning be was found dead in his bed, having apj arently pissed away peacefully 111 his .sitep. The phys'cian who was snniinoiud pronounced it. rbeiimatisin of the heait. Mr. Hales was in town the previous day and apparently never oiijoy- ed better health. Woi.l of his death c:.ine as a groat shock to liismany fi'ieiids. The funeral look place to the Kli shecton c. in eti. ry on Sunday, the sei vices, in the ab- sence of his pastor, Rev. Ivison VV'ilaon, being conducted at the hou.= e and 'jravo by Dr. Chrisioc, who had known him in- ticnately fr- in bo)hood. The funeral corteg"^ >"as a large one. A very pictty and ipiiet house wedding was celebrated on VWdnesdny afternocm of last week at the rcMdence of Mr. and Mrs. Win. Neil, whin their nieco, Miss Mary Midi, was united in marriage to Mr. John Stewart of the west back line, Arte- uii'sia. The service was conducted by Rev. L. W.Thoin. The bride ira» prettily attir- ed in while organdie and carded a beaut- iful bouciuet of white carnations Allie Joy, the bridesmaid, wore a dre»8 of wh te cishmere and silk and carried a liotHiuet of pink carusliorm. Mr. Chaa. Stewart assisted the groom. The travell- ing costume of *\\o bride was a navy blue snow llake. Mr. and Mrs.Stewart left on the evening train for Toronto and other points. Tiie piesents bestowed upon the bride wore unusually numerous and costly, and are indi:ative of the general esteem in which the young people are lieM. We join with their inmiy friends in congratu. hitions and best wishes. The young couple will reside on the homestead, west back line. Ghost or Lvnx? Miller's swamp, six miles east of Flesh- ertou, has a bad reputation and by a recent occurrence that spot has had still further horrors added t.c it. There is a rumor that a ghost has been in the habit of "walking" in thus swamp. The ghost is said to be in the form of a white horse which disappeared with a commercial traveller some years ago. So much for legend. Now for actual fact. Mr. Elijah Simmons of this village had occasion to walk alony the gravel at this spot one niabt last week when some animal came out of the woods and attacked him. It was dirk and he could not see what kind of a beast it was, but he fought it as best he could, kicking it off. He eventually suc- ceeded in beating it off, but not before it had lacerated the calf of his leg pretty badly. When Mr. Simmons arrived at John English's his boot was full of blood, but after getting his leg dressed he brave- ly continued his walk home, arriving about 2 o'clock a. m. The victim thinks it was a lynx. Others think it may have been the ghost. All are saastled that no dog would make a wound such as .'Vlr.Sim- inous carries. In any event it was an ex- citing experience,and a very sore leg nives indisputable evidence that ':he animal or whatever it was had the capacity for wounding developed to an abnormal de- gree. IMr. Simmons appears to have been fortunate in frightening away his assailant before it did more damage. Co €onsumpt!ve$. The uuilersitiueii haviiiy buen lestored to health by simple uioaus, after snlforlug for sev- eral yeavs with sovure lung affi-'Otion, and that dread disease consumption, is auxiouK to make known to his follow sufferers the means of cure. To those who desire it, he will cheerfully send (free of ebart,'e} a copy of the prescription n-ed, which they willflud a sure cure for consump- tion, asthma, catarrh, bronchitis and all throat and lung maladies. Lie hopes all stilferern will try his remedy, as it is invaluable. Those desir- ing the proi-'eription, wiiich will eoHL|theni noth- ing and may prove a blessing, will ploaso ad- dress. Uov.
