TRAVELLERS, tourists, and others who’ are changing their diet and water fre- quently, should always have a supply of Dr. Fowler’s Extract of Wild Strawberry with them. Itis the great specific for stimmer complaints, and, by its low price, is placed within the reach of all. By its timely use the serious results of dysentery and asiatic cholera may be averted, and itis an admirable curative agent iu sour stomach, colic, cramps, sea-siccness, vomiting, and other irrita- tions of the stomach and bewels. The extract exhibits its most efficacious, spe- cific, and salutary effect upon children, who are prone to suffer when teething.

C. Beaty? ANoTHER ‘excursion boat” came blow- ing into our barbor on Sunday last, — with all the boldness imaginable. Is there no law to prevent this thing, or public feeling to frown it down ? OaxvinLE time should be set at 2 min- utés faster than Toronto; 4 than Butfa- lo ; 24 than New York ; 25 than Albany, and 26 than Montreal ; and henee 18 12 minutes slower than Detroit, and 31 than Chicago. A young man may do a great many. foolish things; but he will never wear a pair of white pantaloons to a picnic but onee. He will never forget the large amount of fun he didn’t have on the first oecasion.

Yuuirain-steru: on Friday, though quite severe at this place; and of but short duration, did but comparatively little more damage; than denuding quite a number of fruit trees around town of their foliage, and their fruit. With our happy escape, other localities to the west, are to be reported as having suf- fered severely. The storm appears to have beea general, and the mrost severe in the neighborhood of Sarnia. Wen that scalawag goes to Hamilton, ! and assures the merchants that his ama- teur handbill apology for a newspaper has a larger circulation than all the other of the county cf Halton combined, and under such false pretence obtains a few dollars’ worth of advertise- ments, paid i advance,—can an honor- able merchant of this town patronize /such a fraud any longer, when he lends | himself by sueh an act to divert the trade away ftom Oakville?

The long line of animal wagons, fresh and mew, with gorgeous banners floating on top, the monster orchestrion and the steam caliope, and the car of Neptune, were interspersed with fancy wagons drawn by mites of horses, the beautiful stallions, a wag- on drawn by a pair of elxs, the monster black dromedaries, zebras and other auimats, making a procession nearly amile long.
