A Meafiird firm was recently fined for selling seed with mi>ru than the allowable percentage of noxious weedseeds therein. The conviction was made through a Man- Itnwaning man who had been oimplained against, and who said he hisd bought it from the Meaford firm. The fine was a nominal one. The governmei.t is only anxious to have it underatnod that the minimum number as set down in the Seed Act cf live seeds to the thousand must not be exceeded. When that is thoroughly understood the fines imposed upon guilty parties will attain greater proportions. At the leichers' convention held in Durham last week the following ofticers were elected: President, Mifs M.irjoiy Mann , Ist Vice Pres., Miss An.nie Edge; 2nd Vice Pres., Mr. Gilbert • Sec. Tieas , Thos. Allan ; Management, Me.ssrs. Ro8s and Marcellus, and Misses D ibel, Wilson and McGregor ; Auditors, Mi-scs Mir- garet MacKenzie and Gretia Nichul. The next cnnveuti'in will be held in Dundalk, owing to Fleshertoii's poor railway accommodation from the west. Probably the most readable paper given at the convention was that of Miss Pearl McGregor of Ceylon school. Miss Mc- Gregor h,ks evidently caught the literary inspiration and knows how to handle both brain and pen. We would like to publish her paper on "How a teacher spent a vacation," but space forbids. from an S-page, 6-col. paper to a 4-pai;e, 8col. sheet. Miss Edith Blythe, daught- er of the lite Geo. Blythe, is the manager. We notice the name of F. Sullivan, for- merly of Flesherton, in the line-up of the victorious Chatsworth base ball team. Fred can't help playing good ball. Rev. H. E.

He headed the procession before Presi- dent Taft, and naturally ieels the confines uf his hat. The baseball fans willhaveto tnrn their attention in other chauneU. The series oi games ended last week when Pittsburg won the world's chaiupion.ship from Detroit, at the latter city. The whole phce was base-ball mad, even the police who were supposed to preserve oidtr were antong the craziest. On Friday of last week the residence of Dan. White, O.D.R., was burned to the ground. The fire is supposed to be the result of defective chimneys or pi|:e8. lusurance of (320 on the building and emtent.« was placvd with the Bruce Mutual Company. Only a short time ago a barn was burned in thi same neighbor- hood, supposedly from incendiary cauaes. The lassitude of the average "hired man" is proverbial, possibly more pro- couimendable presence of mind, torn a picket from the nearby fence and laid the eneD>y low. Just why the niuskrat wish- ed to keepF. G. away from prayer meet- ing will never be known. It is not gHuerally known that Rev. R. Walter Wright, Methodist minister, of Durham, is the father of C. Mon'rose Wright, who married Miss Florence Kinradeof Hamilton. In speaking before the teachers' convention in Durham Mr. Wright said one of the two teachers who had most atfected his life was a county of Grey man. He gave a vivid description of the early days, thirty cdd years ago, when he began teaching at Port Law. We believe Mr. Wright Ims relatives in Artemesia Township. He is spoken of as a gifted preacher. Ijist week Harry Felli. a young English boy, who has been employed t r some time with John Parker, had a a narrow escape from death. He was driving a load of hay for John Sloan and had it on the weigh scales at the station. In driving out of the building he failed to notice that the exit was lower than the entrance, and was caught between the top of the doorway and the load. Before the team couhx be stopped he was doubled up and his back sererely strain- ed. He was hurriedly taken to Mrs. Parker's aud medical aid summoned. Though the injuries are serious, yet the â-¼eibi^l than actual, but they must be the young man is progressing favorably, |and limit in Welland county. At the fair there a prize was offered for the sleepiest looking man in the county, and there were 88 contestants. The de.^pitch failed to state that they were hired help, but it is taken fur granted.

Thu Ladies Canadian R fie Assneiation is an accompliahed fact. Twenty-three Toronto liulies have t«ken the oath of allegiance. By their action the ladies are subject to drill, training and discipline, and will be liable to be called out on active service like any member of the militia.. Isn't that mean uf them? Now the enemy will have to give in, out of couitesy. An editor approached St. Peter at the Golden Gate, and handing him along list nf" delini}ucnc subscribers said: "Look this list over carefully and see if any of chese fellows have sneaked through the pearly gates." "Su," said St. Peter, "there are none inside, but a fellow slip- ped through here the sther day who took the paper a year without paying for it and h.id the postmaster mark it 'refused,' but we are afier him, and when caught he will be consigned to the place where he properly belongs. He is meaner even than the delinquent subscriber, and Heaven is not bis home." A gang of young boys who are out almist nightly on garden plundering expeditions are getting pretty close to serious trouble. Gardens in all parts of the town have been stripped of fruit and vegetables and in many cases valuable trees and vines have b»en ruined. The boys are nearly all S'Us of respected parents aud consiJeration for the latter is all that has saved them from prosecution. The authorities, however, have secured the names of the whole gang and will prosecute if the practice is persisted in. If the parents of young boys would keep them off the streets after dark they would save them from falling into vicious habits. â€" Allioton Herald. There Were Brilliant Northern Lights People who were out of doors between H and 9 o'clock Monday ni<{hc had a fine display of nature's fireworks. The strea- mers of th«auiora borealis spread all over the northern sky, and were e.ttremely brilliant for twenty minutes or more. This phenomenon ia intimately con- nected with disturbances on the sun. A very brilliant aurora, which occurred on September 24, was coincident with an unusually laiga sun spot, which vvai visible to the naked eye. These sfwts occur with varying frequency, reaching a maximum every 11th year. This is one of the years. Service in his "Ballad of the Northern Lights" gives a vivid desciiption of the aurora, a part of which we copy below: "And the skies of night were alive with lifrht. with a throbbing, tbiilliiig flame; .\niber and rose and violet, opal and golJ it ciiiiie. It swept the sky like a giant scythe, it quivered back to a wedge: .'Vrgently briglit, it cleft the night with a wavy gnldeu edife. Pennants of silver waved Mid streamed, lazy banners unfurled; Sudden splendours of sabres Kleamed, light- ning javelins were hurled. " iii[ Mum.

An interesting old gentleman [ha^ been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. Cook at Ceylon during the pas', week, in the per- son of Mr. Abrahtm Ouuld of Kansas. Mr. Gould rsn the old pearlashery be- tween this village and the station about fifty years ago. He was in partnership with another man who "did'' him out of his portion of the business. He left here for Kincardine with only 50c in his pock- et. Later he worked for Mr. James Hunter at Durham, and subsequently reoiuved to Kansas where he accumulated tion w.ts made by Mr. S. T. Sheppaid, considerable wealth. Ue ha.s three sons the secretary of the company, Mr, and Mrs. Ai (eiihead were taken conipte'ely by surprise. Mr. Aikenhead expressed iu fitting terms his appreciation of the gift and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all pre8e:r." in Kansas, one a lawyer and two on farms. The old gentleman is about 80 years of age, but many men of 65 look as old. He had a longing to visit the scenes of his early life, and has been in Canada for some weeks. With the Churches A very enjoyable social gathering was held on Monday evening when the younij people's organizations of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches "fraternized" in the Methodist church. At the galheriu'.: a sincere vote of sympathy was expressed to Miss Heron, who is the head of the social department of the Epwortli League, and whose absence was caused by the sudden death of her mother. Miss Heron has ihe sympathy of many friends in her hour of trouble. The Thanksgiving day service will be dispen.ied with tlii.s year, owing to the unsettled condition of the cliurche^, and the fact that the holiday comes on &lon- day. Rev. H. E. Wellwood will speak in the Methodist church next Sabbath ii: the morning on "The Abiding Spirit, the Ho;,e of the Church" and iu th*! evening will give a Thanksgiving address. Rev.
