Casual Advertisements a0â€" cepted up to soon Wednesday cach wook, The Droughtâ€"â€"It will perhaps be strange reading for many of the readers of the CuroxIcL® to learn that the township of Welleslcy bas been sufferâ€" ing from a seyere drougbt. No rain sufficient to benefit the crops to any noticeable extent has fallen for a period of about six long weeks, whilst in ;-'nmkm and Poel to the West and orth of us very abundant showers have fallen. In the greater part ‘of Wellesley the spring crops are very short and the root crops are actually ‘euffering, whilst the pastures are comâ€" pletely dried up. Persons driving out m few miles into Mornington or Peel reâ€" port the difference in the appearance of the crops as very noticeable. The hay crop is now about gathered and owing to the beavy rains in the latter part of May and first of June is very abundant and has been housed in fine condition. Fall wheat cutting has commenced and although owing to its _great growth and lodged condition some of it is affected with rust, yet the samâ€" ple on the whole is likely to be very good and the yield most abundant, and mow that it is known that owing to drought and other causes in many of the countries across the sea there will likely be a good demand for our wheat in this favored Canada of ours and we hope remunerative prices. . Farmers should not be in a hurry to sell their wheat this year. It will be quite safe to hoid it a few months any way. Death of John Harron.â€"On Friday morning, July 12th, at his residence on the 9th line of Wellesley, John Harron, one of the oldest settlers of Wellesley, departed this life at the advanced age of 86 years. The deceased had reâ€" sided on the farm on which be died for a period of some 55 years. He and a number of othersâ€"the Montgomeries, the Crawfords, the McKees and some| othersâ€"were emigrants from the Counâ€" ty of Donegal, Ireland, and all settled in this immediate neighborhood which for a long time was known as the Donegal settlement. ‘They were most fortunate in the quality of the land they selected as there is not perhaps in Western Ontario a finer agricultural section than this Donegal settlement. The deceased was an ardent Orangeâ€" man and always looked forward to the 12th of July as a red letter day in his life and it is a somewhat singular coinâ€" cidence that although dying a most natural death he should be permitted <to see the opening of one more of those, to him, gala days, and then depart to his rest in the life to come. In religion he belonged to the Church of England. He leaves behind bim to mourn his loss, his aged widow and four sons, William, of Detroit ; John, Robert and Samuel, all of Wellesley. One daughter having died when quite young. The deceased was not a man who took much part in public affairs but was highly respected for his many good qualities of hoead and heart. The funeral on Sunday was one of the largest ever seen in \Wellesley, and was conducted by the Orauge Society of which he was a member,the Rev. Mr. Armstrong, the incumbent at Millbank, ofliciating. â€" Thus another link which connects us with the past is broken. The family, bis aged widow particularly, have the sympathy of a ~Jarge community in their beraavement.

This corporation has always contended and now contends that by reasons of the nonâ€"compliance by that Company with the terms of the Byâ€"Law and Amondments under which that Comâ€" paby formerly bad a right of way upon King street, that right bas been forâ€" feited and such rails and ties are upon King street only by the sufferance of feited and such rails and ties are upon King street only by the sufferance of the Council and without prejudice to the contention, the Council notify the Company that immediately after the 13th day of August, 1901, they will take such steps as may be necessary to compel the Company to remove the rails and ties from such portion of King Street and put the said street in a safe and suitable condition for public traftic. Unless on or before the said 13th day of August the said Company shall have begun to vigorously carry on the work of completing their Railway employing in euch work such number of men and toams as this Council may think reasonable, and therefore, if at any time before the completion of the road, the Company shall cease to vigorously and energetically prosecute such _ conâ€" struction, this Council will assert its right in the premises in the manner ‘abuve indicated, it being the intention of the Council in giving this notice that the work should be proceded with with such a force and in such a manner as to insnie its being completed and in ruoning order not later than the first day of November, 1901.
