Come and ser for yeurself, and be con- vinted of the great bargains in boots and ahoe* at W. H. Carruthers' New Store, Vfodehouse. There was a terrible racket around Richardfton's corner on Saturday last a regular old-fashioned raising and now the frame of a fine Urge uuw shed is in position. A good three year old colt was sold at Munsliaw's hotel yesterday morning by Bailiff Vandusen for forty dollars. Two other older auimals went at the same tiino under twenty dollars. M.

He*did not ..tV'wn the nanu! of the apple or whether it wis a seriHim*. It is a loedium sized, nicely colored sweet apple, and its keep- :ng quality is something romaikable.

Mrs. Buhner showed in her exhibit of photographs at &ut Grey fair several landscape views of merit. Among thesw is one which particularly struck our fancy. It is that of the 'Innocents at Rest," or Flenherton boys at cmp in the vicinity of Kunberley. One of the young men had liis feet in undress attire, and even the graceful curve on his groat toe nail is shown with conspicuous fidelity. The I'ilfS ( F', .MI , Twjedi, Mant- ling lie., just opeueu l Uuliardson's it Co., indicate preparations for a heavy (all trade. Heru is something for the ladies. W* will give tu every person who desires it a beautiful 10-page monthly dorai magaeiue. for one year, each number containing a magnificent colored plate, together with seven flower bulbs for winter blooming in the house, a!l for only :(5 cants. The bulbs are : 1 Bermuda Kastur Lily, 3 Persian Ranunculus, 1 Kreesia, 1 Hya- cinth Botroide,a, and 1 Spanish Iris. All irders must be h&mled in before Oct. 1 The Georgetown Herald pays. . "Some of the people who aro so sjixious about whether we shall 'know each other there'' pass their next door neighbor on the street without speaking.' " It is hol- low cauit and hypocrisy of that sort which brings the blush of hame to the cheeks of honest Christains, and proves an ess/ stepping stone to the final abode of people, who, in this life buy religion by the acre as hy would a farm or a tqw lot ! [Stroit.ville Reriew. We congratulate Bro. Jamea Clark, of the Pickering Nw, upon hi* conversion. A year ago he was endeavoring to knock out all kinds of lotteries, and the Louisana in particular, by popping at them through his editorial columns. Not long since, however, he won a road cart at an K. C. picoio rajdr, and now lie ha* become so far'convertcd that he does not draw back in horror when a lottery ad. is presonted fur inser- tion ; yea he even gives the. 'jj.

The Beetu W,,rld c*lls tho r.reat In- dustrial Fair the Great Industrial Farce, and goes on to remark : Year aftur year the grat Industrial bloomt out with a dreadful sameness to the eye of the M*i- tor.and yet people rush after it andsp.-n.l their dollars for uiu^ht. The side show feature of the institution, however, is the nno thing which exhibits a progressive movement iho grounds fairly swarm with little round tents and big-mouthed ticket sellers. The 25 cents which you pay at the turnstile does not entitle you to Me anything worth mentioning, but is extracted from you as a sort of starter, or in consideration of the directors' efforts at grouping together so many inonny malting fakes. No matter which di- rection you go a demand fur dime* will confront you, and by the time you have gone the round*, and ^urcliasud refresh- ments, necessary tu keep up physical strength during the unlcal, there is a very larga hole indeed made in a irico new five d illar bill, and you return home weary and foot sore with nothing to show fr your money or your toil. The fair, how- ever, is a great snap ' <r Tunmto, railway ratei are lowered on tltat occasion, and thousands avail themselves of the oppor- tunity of visiting the city merchant, who trumpets Ills astounding bargains, and pockets tho dollars which should have, gone into the exch<xpj&f J/ his country competitor.

Also how many of them observed that without thu words formed by the acros- tic, the sense of the versos is in no way complete. As ever Yours, AN OLD FRIEND. Committed. An unfortunate jruunq woman named Caroline Flyno was committed to Owen* Sound jail on Saturday last with her child for three months at her own request by Magistrate Armstrong. Tin* is a sad case. The jail is not a proper place for <uch unfortunates, but until our county lathcii have sufficient humanity instilled into them to see the necessity of grant- ing a poor house to receive such, the jail will etill hae in hold them. A Clever Young Man. At Osguode Hall, last wek, Mr. Wm. Wriglit,su of Tax Collector John Wright, succeeded in passing his final examination in law and is now a full-fledged barrister. Not only did Mr. Wright pass with hon- ors, but he also received the gold medal. Tho successful candidate is '26 yean of sge. He possessed a tint class certificate before reaching the age of 17, and una ben a student in the office of Messrs. Luiar * Monk, of Hamilton, for some time. During his legal course he has taken a tint aud secud scholar- ship, anil now the gold medal adds a crowning honrr. The Advance adds, with 01 uch pleasure, Mr. Wright's name to the roll of those w^iu have gone out into the world from this town and town- ship and done honor to the home of their nativity and parental tuition. We are informed that Mr. Wright and his part- ner, Mr. S. E. Linsay, are about to start an office in Owen Sound and that they purpose opening a branch office in Flesh- rton. It is our wish that they may meet with success. Apple Thieves. On Saturday morning uf last week, while Mr. Osborne.of Coilingwood town- ship, in company with several other gentlemen, were going into a orchard, which he owns now, Mr. Leganl's, they were surprised to tind that a nuantity of ftuit had disappeared frum off a number of his trees, the evening; previou,aud on a close examination found where a one horse waggon had been driven into the orchard by w.iy of a trap in the fence. Wherever a tree had been tampered with, tracks could b seen wheie the wai{i;on luul been driven under the tree, and num- erous foot prints in the soil, which show- ed that tha theives hnd been very busy ill scouring the coveted supply of fruit. After taking about half the production of the orchard, the perpetrators hied them- selves away out forgot to obliterate then tracks in going unto the road. Thev were '.raced f,>r a considerable distance whou the tracks wnre lost in a medley of other*. The thieves nrH not yet ideuti- tictl, but suspicion rests strongly on cer- tain parties living in the directio.i in which the waggon wan driven. A Funny Programme. Thu Advance has been shown a pro uriunuie uf a concert which was recently given by the colored pcupluof Fort Erie. It would bring tours to the eyes of any lirmter and the punctu.-ition would make eve:> a school toucher stare There were 'Jli numbers, and a tew uf them were as follows : I 1 .nok away in t)i hoavmm by the Company J Uoultaliou by alias.

The FaU Fair . , Owing to the fact that .TJw Advance goes to press on Wednesday at noon we are unablw to give a complete report of East Gray fall fair this week. Tht en- tries are scarcely up to those of last year, but '.he deficiency is mostly in fruit and dairy produce. Other classes ato ./etter nlltfti-tUau las* year, mid, among these the ladies exhibit inside surpasses any- thing ever shown hero before. Some of the articles manufactured by deft Sneers are paragons of bauty. In the art class Miss Daniude shows a painting -.'. u. very high i/rder of merit. Wax tlowurs, feather wreaths, embroidery, ueedle- work, knitting, etc., mi.ke up an exhibit that attracted lady sight-seers ill l;iru crowd*. Gri fall* short in the uuiiiiwr (,f ci. tries, owing to !ate harvest,. but t'o* quality is above par. There are some inugiiiiicent collections of flowers. Mr. Gilliland, of Euxenin has a splendid dis- play of houuy. ltt)ots are fully up to laal year, and in some kinds they are more numerous and quality jjnod. Mr. Ed.
