World No For the first time in his life Edward Hanlan, in a match race with another sculler, was beaten on Saturday. For seven years Hanlan 's history has been the history of the aquatic champion- ship of Canada for six years his his- tory has been the history of the cham- pionship of America for five years his history has been the history of the championship of the world. From the sprins: of 1877 until Saturday the Canadian sculler's record showed six- teen successive victories over the best scullers in tHe world. No other oars- man that ever lived, no other athlete that ever liyed, had such a record. To just what his defeat has been due is not yet clear, and Canadians, who have watched Hanlan 's extra- ordinary career with pride, at the least, in the uniform straightforwardness of his performances -straightforwardness so different from what the most form- idable of his rivals in this country have shown â€" Canadians will be loth to beUeve that Hanlan's star has paled an the Antipodes, never to regain its former lustre. They will hope to hear that his defeat has been such as will be avenged when his turn comes again, himself having meanwhile had the advantage of knowing exactly the na- ture of the task ahead of him. The most careful men are sometimeij canctfat napping, and the most reasonable sup- position in Hanlan's case is that he X:)artly under estimated his opponent, and partly suffered in his training in a strange clime. Walter's Falls. This truly rural village is situated in Holland, and within one mile of the boundry of four townships, viz., Hol- land. Euphrasia, St, Vincent and Syd'enhain, and is distant from Mark •dale 12 miles, from Meaford 14, from Holland Centre rf, from Chatsworth .10, from Owen Sound 18, and from Woodford 8 miles. Big Head River " runs through the village, and has a fall of 50 feet within a stone throw bt the center of tbe town. This river furnishes good water power, which is appropriated bv a fine roller flour mill, woollen factory, saw mill and shingle and planing factory. The village has a very picturesque surrounding, and the immediate vicinity is somewhat rough, but has an excellent agricul- tural country on all sides a short distance out. There is a tri-weekly mail to this place, and it can boast of nearly 100 inhabitants.

We had a dusty drive through Qsprey on Tuesday last, calling at Maxwell, Feversham and Mclntyre. The spring grain harvest has com- menced and an astonishing improve- ment has taken place m the crops generally since our last drive that way the last week of June. There is now a certainly of a full average crop. Peas, barley and spring wheat are an excellent crop and oats though somewhat thin are generally a fair crop. The hay crop was light, and roots in this township are suffering for want of rain. In the neighborhood of Mclntyre, (which is situated one concession South ot the Collingwood, or gravel road) the crops are looking exceedingly fine, in fact this is a beautiful destrict and will compare with the best parts of the province when a little older. The' merchants of Mclntyre repert a fair summer's trade and now fast improving. We found Osprey parliament in session at Feversham, and were endeavoring to economise in the township expenses, the great valuation expense being an important item, and not yet decided whether the county or individual townships will have the costs of the recent appeal to pay. The valuation has proved a most imsatis- factory, unnecessary and expensive undertaking. ©arra8pandanx)8.

To the Editor of the Standakd. Deab Sib, â€" In a late issue of your paper appeared a lucubration headed, "Too good to miss," and signed "Kail- roader." I won't attempt to answer his letter. Indeed it is unanswerable. However lest that "unanswerable" should be misunderstood, I beg leave to point out that a letter may be un- answerable for two reasons; first, it may be perfect secondly, there may be nothing in it. Let me tell you a story, Mr. Editor. In the Old Country lived a man who worked for father occasionally, and whom we will call John. He was a good fellow in many ways, honest, hard-working, and -good naiured but with one sad fault, he would get drunk, ^ne day John had been at the tavern, and was on "His devious course un- certain seeking home," when he hap- pened to stumble against the heels of a notorious donkey that was grazing by the roadside. This donkey was viciously inclined, and he resented John's familiarity by promptly knock- j ing him down with his heels. John must have been pretty drunk for he mistook Neddy for a man, and, being an Irishman, of course he couldn't stand such treatment, and so prepared to fight. A few more knocks, how- ever, opened John's eyes to the fact that he was quarreling with an ass, and the poor fellow's maudlin dismay on making the discovery, wasJ ex- tremely ludicrous It seemed as if he could never get over the disgrace. He actually wept for shame. So, I too, bir, in my rather devious wandering, came into the vicinity of an animal who kicked at the intrusion; but warned by the fate of my country- man, I give him the whole road now and forever more, lest I also, should be found fighting with â€".

I have two inoutetors that I made myself; they cost f5,and hold 480 chick3. Any one can get directionB tor making an mcubator Uke mine by writing to J.

I have 212 hens, and from them, and in two incubators, to have sold $1427 worth of chicks and fowl since March. Now is the time to make your incubators, and prepare for the winter and spring trade. Give your incubators one trial this fall, then you can go to work intelligently. Iron my incubators all the year round, and think there is no business reqmr- ing less capital, yielding such hurge profits.
