INTERNAL andexternal improvements
have for some time past been carried on
at the warehouses near the depot for the
purpose of placing them in proper shape
for the coming trade which is expected
to broaden with the increased width of
track. 1t has been found necessary in
the change to raise the gangways lead
ing up to the door of the elevator some
four OF five feet. That to the southern
elevator has been finished and teams
are at work on the northern elevator at
present.

The creamery is growing in popular
ity and patronage every day, a sign that
the superiority of the new method over
the oldis beginning to be appreciated by
the farmers in this section. Anew team
was started Wednesday, making four
now doing daily trips over as many
routes, traversing a considerable scope
of country hereabouts. From one hun
dred and fifty to two hundred pounds of
butter are manufactured daily, all of
which is spoken for before it is made.
Already the Cold Spring Creamery has
the reputation of making a better article
of butter than the Elgin Creamery,
which of itself is no mean commenda-
tian. Taken as a whole, therefore, the
prospects of this new industry in our
midst may be said to be Frightening
daily.

FRIDAY evening and a portion of Sat
urdsy was occupied by Justice Lowry
in listening to the different sides of a
legal farce which included four leading
actors with the usual allowance of
< 'supes," besides count, intelligent jury
and learned lawyers. The squabble
proved of little interest save furnishing
fun for 1.-The boys" The jury returned
q verdict of guilty and his Honor assess
ed a fine of five dollars against the de-
PENDANT, Mary Ann Wolstenholme, gen
%erously adding the costs to the fine.
This, it seems, was not satisfactory and
an appeal was taken to the circuit court.

BLACKBERRY ~gatherers have a very

chewed him. There is a great deal of
room for doubt in the former occupation.

The Monitor has been publishing a
lengthy correspondence, based on moral
and religious criticisms; but it contains
so much foreign matter and slang that
many wish it closed.
Last week was unusually quiet and
%uneycntful. The farmers of this rural
district have been actively engaged in
haying and harvest, which has about
come to q close with very satisfactory
results.
Devoe and Moran have started their
thresher, and now new oats at the rate
of a thousand bushels per day viii swell
the bins of our farmers.
In u conversation with the gentleman
who handles zinc ore at this place, we
learned that he had shipped 100 ear loads
of zinc from here IN the last two months
and hopes to double the amount during
the fall months.
