Mr Rutherfurd, of the firm of Andderson, Rutherford, and Macalister, is expected to arrive in Stratford by tomorrow’s mail train.

The Mayor (Mr W. P, Kirkwood) met with a mishap this afternoon. While carrying a box he slipped and fell, striking his head heayily on an asphalt flooring. 1 lie fall rendered him temporarily unconscious, but he recovered quickly, and is now little the worse for the accident.

There was a very animated scene at the local stockyards to-day, when Messrs Webster, Dobson, and Co., in conjunction with the Loan and Mercantile Co., conducted their first Stratford stock sale. Luck was with the new firm, and they won the toss, their sale therefore preceding that of the Loan and Mercantile. Mr Webster soon got busy, and the bidding was spirited, with prices high. A local stock man, who ought to know, remarked to a representative of this paper that the firm was making “a terrible good start.”
