Henry J. Rockel, CARD OF THANKS. V. M. Berlet. V. M. BERLET BERLIN . WATERLOG, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1893. The farm of the late John Carter, Puslinch has been sold to John A. Mcâ€" Pherson, east river road, for $7,650, cash. Mr. McPherson purchased the farm fcr his son. Th crop was sold for $1500, so that the price, practically, for the farm of 160 neres, may be: put at $8,150. During the severg thunderstorm last week, the barn of Mr. Philip Knechtel in North Easthope was struck by lightning and totally destroyed by fire with all its contents, including 50 tons of hay and several hundred bushels of wheat. The loss is partly covered by insurance in the South Eisthope Mutâ€" ual. Mr. C. F. Witte, who lately purchasâ€" ed the Larkworthy hotel, on the west side of the bridge, in Mitchell, has ex changed it for a hotel at Millbank. MrBuckla of Millbank, will take posâ€" session in Mitchell on the 1st of Augâ€" ust, and Mr. Witte will remove to Millbank _ Rev. H. Battenberg, of Springfield, Ill., has taken charge of the Lutheran congregations in Wallace, recently preâ€" sided over by Rev. Mr. Eix. The revâ€" erend gentleman is a young man of good ability and is a graduate of Conâ€" cordia College, Missour1 Synod. Watson‘s box factory, London, was destroyed by fire Siturday. â€" The loss is $12.000, and 40 employees are temâ€" porarily out of work. Wesley Bunting of Adelaide, while threshing on Wm. Neill‘s farm near Strathroy, had his left hand torn off by coming in contact with the cylindâ€" Mr. Andrew Easson, of Stratford, has left for Phoenix, New York state, where he has engaged to drive Johnny Golddust, formerly owned by Forbes Brothers of Stratford, in the races this week. He will also hold the ribbons over the same horse in the Syracuse races next week, and in the Buffalo races the first and secord weeks in Auâ€" gust. A merchant in St. Mary‘s placed a large candle in one of the store windâ€" ows to work a gnessing competition. One day it was lighted and burned 138 bours and 26 minutes. Mrs. (Geo. Manson, of Nissouri, won the guess, which entitled her to a free trip to the World‘s Fair. She took the cash in preference. Mrs. Joseph Archer, of Logan, was before Magistrate Flagg, in Mitchell, recently, on a charge laid by Mr. T. S. Ford, of that town, of passing bad moâ€" ney. The evidence showed that at Mr. Murphy‘s store the prisoner presented a $10 bill in payment in payment for some goods which she had purchased. The money was refused, and the womâ€" an told that it was worthless. After this she went to Mr. Ford‘s and exâ€" changed it for two fives with the cashâ€" ier, The court was very lenient with her, on account, ne doubt, of her cirâ€" stances and to its being her first offence,. She had to make good Mr. Ford‘s loss, pay costs of the court, and then was let off on suspended sentence. Two young men started out on Sunâ€" day from Brucefield to see their best girls in Goderich. They procured a horse from the local livery, and were well on their way when the animal ran away. The horse ran for nearly three miles, and all that could be seen was a yellow streak. They had to return and procure another outfit. Moralâ€" Don‘t go driving on Sunday, Mary Craig, a middleâ€"aged, unmarâ€" ried woman, living in Brantford, bought a fiveâ€"cent pasket of paris green on Saturday and swallowed the contents. Sbe died on Sunday mornâ€" inn. _ Deceased was in ill health, and is said to have had some words with anâ€" other member of the family. John Stewart, who died at Paisley on Saturday, was buried on Sunday with imposing ceremony. Deceased was a prominent lieutenant of William Lyon Mackenzie in the uprising of 1837, and was condemned to imprisonâ€" ment for life for the part he took in the insurrection. The funeral was conducâ€" ted by the Liberal Association. The Mrs. Frame, of the Berlin House of Refuge, that Mrs. Hon. James Young and Mrs. Districh, of Galt, found in so pitiable a condition, was once a wellâ€"to do resident of Pusâ€" linch, who was reduced in cireumstancâ€" es through no fault of her own. Her old neighbors and friends feel naturalâ€" ly indignant at her treatment. All the News of the County and District carefully summarized and put into attractive shape. NEWS NUGGETS. BUDGET FROM CORRESâ€" PONDENTS AND OTHER SsoURCES. \ On July 12th an accident of a painâ€" ful nature happened Mrs. John Somâ€" mer, on the 15th line of East Zorra. She was being driven to Hamburg by her son and when near the German Union cheese factory, as they were about to cross the small bridge, the hotse, which was a young, spirited aniâ€" mal, shied and began backing. Mrs. Sommer, thinking the buggy was going over the embankment, sprang from it and sustained a severe fracture of the ankle, the hone protruding. _ Two med:â€" ical men were immediately summoned and the fracture was soon reduced, the patient bravely going through the orâ€" deal without the use of an anesthetic. A threshing engine which was proâ€" ceeding along the Governor‘s Road, beâ€" tween South Dumfrics ‘and Brantford township, near Galt, the other day, broke through a bridge on the road and fell down some teh or twelve feet, being badly wrecked. Fortunately as the structure sank, the driver heard the timber cracking, and hitting the borges, they spreng forward, breaking the kingbolt and thus escaping. The driver jumped and also escaped. The township council is responsible for the loss, which will be considerable. It is said that a certain farmer of Goderich township has stored in his barns the accumulations of nearly sevâ€" en _ years‘ whert crop, which he has held from year to year with the expecâ€" tation of a rise in prices. . For some of this grain he was offered over §1 a bushel. If he were able to estimate what he lost by rats, shrinkage and the loss of interest, he would find that the holding of his grain had been a costly experiment, and there is not the slightest prospect that be will ever reaâ€" lize a high price for what he has on hand Last week the barn of Thos. Amos, lot 15, con. 8, Puslinch, was struck by lightning _ He hbad unhitched the horses at the barn, after drawing in a load of hay, and went to cock a stack in the field near by. _ While returning to the barn, a thunderstorm broke out and a ball of fire fell to the ground from the heavens, struck a maple tree and destroyed it, then it struck the tongue of a wagon opposite the bara, which was splintered, then it struck the hayloft and ran along the third or fourth rafter, splintering a piece off the wood. The conrse of the lightning along the beam was about two feet from the hay mow, and it is a wonder that the hay did not catch fire. Mr. Amos Bechtel had a slight acciâ€" dent while helping the carpenters. One of them intended to strike a piece of timber but accidentally struck Mr. Bechtel‘s two fingers, jamming them badly. Miss Hattie Shoemaker, of Conestoâ€" go, gave Breslau a friendly call on Tuesday evening, returning on Wedâ€" nesday morning at a very early hour. â€" The recent death of George Danâ€" brook, jr., a respected young man of Atwood, was particularly sad. He was only in his 25th year, _ The trouble which culminated in his death was of a protracted and distressing character, About nine years ago he was attacked with inflammation of the bowels, folâ€" lowed ty another attack about five years ago, and another in 1892. From this repeated irritation the bowels be: came chronically inflamed and refused to perform their function, and laterally he was unable to digest anything, and in consequence literally starved to death. _A post mortem examination by Doctors Rice and Parke, revealed the lower part of the stomach and about two inches of the upper part of the bowels to be thickened and inflamed, and the whole bowels were matted toâ€" gether and bound by inflammatory adâ€" hesions, thus preventing their normal action. The lungs were tound to be perfectly sound, _ He visited the State of Washington a few years ago and taught school there, but returned home not benefited. Mrs. Moses Sittler, of Latonia, Ohio, who has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Shoemaker, for the past three weeks, left on Thursday for Chatham to visit her sister, Mrs. Frank Wilson. It is whispered around town that one of Breslau‘s country girls will soon be united in the holy bonds of matriâ€" mony to a gentleman from another town near here. The section men are busy putting in new rails on the G. T. R. They have already laid them a long distance. _ Miss Minnie Scanlan is spending her holidays with her parents here. She will return to school in Stratford in a few weeks. Mrs. Braun, of Berlin, is visiting her mother and sister Mrs. and Miss Huehn. Mr, Chas. Kern, of $Brantford, is visiting under the parental roof this week. Ereslau. Last Sunday the section men were kept busy nearly all_day fighting fire and making fences. A fire started near the track up at Mr. Amos Webâ€" et‘s and had it not been for quick work, the whole house and barn would have been destroyed. Another large fire started in Mr. Shoemaker‘s and Mr Hewitt‘s bush right beside the railroad and burnt quite a bit of fence.‘ Mr. A. 8. Hallman from Berlin 0¢â€" cupied the pulpit in the New Mennoâ€" nite church on Sunday evening. He preached to a largs crowd although the weather was exceedingly warm. Mr. Jos. Stauffer, a "high school boy," Berlin, is spending his holidays in our town. _ Weare much pleased to have him with us and we are sure by his countenance that he is enjoying himself immensely. Mr. A.

Last Tuesday night a very heavy thunderstorm passed over our section of countrv. A barn of Mr. Philip Knechtel‘s of North Easthope was struck by lightning and burnt to the ground with all this year‘s crop of hay consisting of 40 loads, together with a few domestic animals. (On. Wednesday the san of Mr. Louis Heise was also seriously hurt when the horse ran away and the wagon went over his breast. _ Under Dr. McQGillaâ€" wee‘s skill it is doing as well as could be expected. M. Schaub bad two fiax bees last week when old and young had a great evening‘s amusement. . Mr. Peter Ottâ€" man has been laid up for the last week with lumbago.

Isâ€" rael attempted to close the big barn doors during the Tuesday night storm of last week. The storm was blowing very hard at the time and got the betâ€" ter of them throwing both on the ground with great force and giving them a general shaking up.â€"Mr. John Schneller while watering the horses had one of them scared by the bens and which reared up and coming down struck him forcibly on his foot. The old man suffered severely for some time.â€"Mr, Thos. Main‘s son Wallace who is working for Mr. August Israel near Strasburg had a horse run away from him which he was leading to the water. The little fellow elung to the beast but got on the ground and the horse ran over him inflicting several cuts on the side of his head. Mr. Gottlieb Pommer passed away very quietly on Friday leaving a wife and 14 children, 9 boys and 5 girls, all living, to mourn their loss. Deceased was one of the earliest settlers in this vicinity and a wellâ€"toâ€"do farmer.

Mr. Henry Schmidt opened the seasâ€" on in our neighborhood by threshing for Mr. Jacob Swartz, _ He comes this year with a brand new engine which runs like a top and his separator is all hauled over. _ And that machine on the top of the separator that gathers all the dust is a daisy. Why, ladies can now come in the barn with their white dresses on without fear _ of getting _ them soiled, and _ the hay will no more be covered with dust. We are truly in an age of improveâ€" ment.

Masters. Cranson and Alvin Shelly were visiting their cousins at Chicopee last Sunday. Master Frank Smlth of Toronto is visiting his brother Charlie at Mr. Wricht‘s. ENDED IN A FREE HGHT. Jeers from the Irish, cheers from the Unionists and counter cheers from the Liberals interrupted Mr. Chamberlain at this point. Hs waited two or three minutes before the confusion abated sufficiently for him to speak with efâ€" fort. He then proceeded thus: _ "The Prime Minister called ‘Black,‘ and his adherents say it is good. The Prime Minister calls ‘White,‘ and they say it is better. (Unionist laughter,) It is always the voice of God. Never since the time of Herod has there been such The bill had been changed in its most vital features; still no debate was regarded as necessary, since whatever was altered the bill was always found perfect by the adherants of the Prime Minister, THEY SHOUTED "JUDAS" IN CHORUS. Mr. Chamberlain got no further. Imâ€" mediately there rose from the Nationâ€" alists such a roar of indignation as has not been heard in the House since the Disgraceful Scene In The British House of Commons. Loxpox, July 27.â€"There was a wild scene in the House of Commons this evening. _ On the Government proâ€" gramme 10 o‘clock was the bour for closure of the debate in committee on Home Rule Bill. The parts of the bill left over for the discussion of the last week and for the divisions this evening were the new financial clauses, the schedules and the preamble. CHAMBERLAIN ON THE CLOSURE. Obscure members contisued the deâ€" bate until 9. 45 o‘clock.. Then Joseph Chamber!ain rose to deliver the final broadside of the Opposition. He began by giving his opinion of the closure as applied by the Governâ€" ment. The memkers, be said, were about to witness the last scene in a disâ€" creditable tarce. The debate on the financial clauses had been a mere sham. The Government had stood over friend and foe alike ready to let fall the guilâ€" lotine without regard forjustice or constiâ€" tutional rights. â€" The Irish members, as well as the Unionists, were anxious to discuss at length the important finanâ€" cial questions presented by the new clauses, but such discussion was to be cut short. GLADSTONE LIEENED UNTO HEROD. WHOLE NUMBER . 2005 R. D. LANG & CD‘T Furniture, Sewing Machines, Carpets days of Parnell. _ Mr. Chamberlain plainly was startled, but he tried to talk on. Always pleased to show their goods Give them a call, Others were struggling in the aisles or between the benches _with Radical, Liberal or Irish antagonists: +Curses, yells of pain and gross insults were heard on every side _ Somebody smashâ€" ed Tim Healy‘s high hat down over his eyes. _ Healy tore off theftileandsprang into the aisle in full fighting position, just as Mr. Hanbury, still shouting that the chairman must name Mr. O‘Connor, was trying to get by. Mr. Hanbury was knocked over a bench by the force of the collision before Healy got in a blow. His voice was inaudible to the memâ€" bers on the next bench. He turned toward the Nationalists and shrili yells of execration sounded above the uproar. £ T. P. O‘Cooanor sprang to his feet, and leaning towards Mr. Chamberlain shouted "Judas" so loudly that the epâ€" ithet could be beard throughout the flouse. _ The rest of the Irishmen took up the cry and for half a minute shoutâ€" ed "Judas" in chorus. Saunderson was rescued and led an attack on the Parnelites. A STRUGGLING, CURSING Mass. Blows were struck right and left. Members fell and were picked up by their friends to fight again. The whole space between the‘ front benches was filled with a struggling, cursing mass of members, striking, clawing and upâ€" setting each other, Mutual efforts were made to separate the combatants. Meantime the clock struck 10, Chairâ€" man Mellor tried to put the closure, but his voice could not be heard nmid the shouts of the Irish and the Unionâ€" ists. THE CONSERYVATIVES TAKE A STAND. Then came a scene unprecednted in parliamentary history. _ Mr. Mellor gave in a weak voice the eustomary directions to clear the House for a divâ€" ision. As the disoracr subsided preâ€" parations were made to execute these directions. The Conservatives, howâ€" ever, flatly refused to quit the House. Vicary Gibbs, Gibson Bowels and Wilâ€" liam Hanbury shouted to the chairman that he must first call Mr _ O‘Connor to order for baving called Mr. Chamberâ€" lain names. _ Mr. Mellor protested that be had not beard the epithets in question. _ Gibbs, Bowels and Hanâ€" bury got together, and to make themâ€" selves heard shouted in chorus at Mr. Mellor; "Wili you direct that these words be taken down ?" A free fight then broke out at the top of the gang way. The centre of it was Wm. Redmond, Parnellite, who had taken advantage of the general license to push over Col. Saunderson, the champion of the man of Ulster. Meantime half of the Unionists had climbed to the benches and were shoutâ€" ng, "Gag," "gag." Mr. Gibbs tried to go forward, but he was so pushed about and confused that be gave up his purpose, and Mr. Mellor remained uninformed. Lord Randolph Churchill and Sir Eaward Clarke got hold of Mr. Gibbs, and started him for the front bench that he might elucidate the cause of the row to Mr. Mellor, who was makâ€" ing strenuous but vain efforts to learn what the grievance of the Tory trio was. Both sergeantsâ€"atâ€"arms forced their MELLOR IGNORANT OF THE ROW (Continued on 8th Page.) offer the finest range of ORCANS AND PIANOS. fâ€"â€"ALSO.â€"â€"â€" A FREE FIGHT Curtains BERLIN, AND
