Reduction in Prices. â€" Trimble Wright haye this week reduced their notorious tea from 80 to 25ct8 per lb. in single lbs or 5 lb. lots, 24ct8 per lb. by the chest, if you want a bar- gain procure a box before the lot is cleaned out as it cannot be replaced. The Marquis of Lome and the Princess Louise arrived at Liverpool Monday, and were accorded a flatter- ing reception.

True merit brings its own reward, in the case of Burdock Blood Bitters it is rapidly bringing its reward in its increased sales, as a prominent Drug- gist recently said, "it now sells on its merits;" It is the grand specific for diseases of the blood, liver and kidneys, 25,000 bottles have been sold during the last three months. For sale by A. Turner Co. Markdale. Fortunate Southampton. â€" It is rumored that the Beatty line ot steam- ers intend to make Southampton in- stead of Sarnia their southern terminus next season. Tins move will save a distance of 240 miles every round tripe, and as time means money in these fast days, the cliange seems only a natural one. Southampton people are jubilant over the matter, and look forward to a big boom next spring and summer. â€" 0. 6" Adcertisor.

Revovai.. â€" Thos. Matthews moved this week into the premises late'y oc- ccupied by A. McDougall. Mr. M. will now have abundant room besides being in a better business stand. It is unnecessary for us to say anything in commendation of his abilities as a harness maker, or of his integrity as a business man. His history for the past eighteen years in this place is surely a sufficient recommendation, and we bespeak for him a largely increased trade in his present commo- dious and convenient shop. Tam, what on airth is 8 yon heap o' stuff stacked up at Trimmel Wright's store door odd the like o' I never saw, hoot Will, it's easy The Steaheb Ontario Lost, all hands saved. â€" The steamship Ontario enrouted for Port Arthur and other points North, sank while takine; on coal at a wharf, all hands were saved as well as the most valuable pait of her lead which was slightly damaged by water and shipped to Toronto to be sold by auction. Trimble Wright who are always on the look out for cheap good, have purchased a large share of the cargo which will be opened this week and sold off at what it will bring, look out for them. To Be Discontinued. â€" Some people have hitherto been under the impres sion that letters, if unsealed, could be sent from one post office to anotner for one cent, and many letters have been mailed that way. Instructions have been issued to postmasters that here- after all such letters if not prepaid, are sent to the dead letter office. The same remarks apply to accounts for parties in other places. Of course letters and accounts mailed for deliv- ery at the same post office go for one cent. People should bear these things in mind and they would save them- selvea much trouble and loss. W M.

The barn of Mr. Fisher, 12th con. of Osprey was set on fir«» last week, by sparks from an engine of a steam thresher, which wa3 at the time en- gaged in threshing his own crop, all efforts were put forth to extinguish the fire, but all in vain the wind was too strong and the result was the en- tire destruction ot the barn and all b'lildings attached, together with all his grain crop.

She fully sustained her repu- tation as a reciter, with the graceful movements of her beautiful figure and the clear and vigorous ring of her melodious voice, the attention of the whole audience is nveted from the very moment she ascends the platform until she descends again. All who heard Miss Read once should certain- ly seek every opportunity of hearing her again.

Mk. a. Websteb, of Priceville, is about to take his departure from that place, having disposed of his business and purchased a farm near Toronto. Mr. " ..)8ter has been a valuable citizen to Priceville, being a man of undoubted integrity, excellent busi- ness qualities and high moral and social standing. The viUage loses one of its best and most esteemed citizens which will doubtless be difficult to replace. A banquet will be given in his behalf, on Thursday evening the 8th at the Gommerdai Hotel, which will be laxgdy attended. From our ow* eorretpondent. Tuesday was fair day. There rather a slim attendance. Real estate still commands high prices here, houses to rent are still scarce.
