FiBB AT Alliston. â€" The AUiston cheese factory was burned on Satur- day last. The building was owned by the Driving Park Association, and was worth $1500 insured • in the Western for $600.

No- thing was saved.â€" Shelburne Free Press. The Flesherton Advance comes to hand now in its reduced size, which is quite large enough for any country paper. Several others have signified their mtentionof doing likewise, while nearly all in the County as well as several out^de^lksrve spoken favorab- ly of the idea. We have the matter under consideif^on, and may in the near fntmre adopt the wise course; if so, the improvements otherwise will, we truslefully make up for the small deorea%arin size. A FEW weeks ago, we noticed in the Standabd that our esteemed citizen, Mr. J. B. Anderson, had an invitation to take part in a program in Toronto at an entertainment to be given in the Elm Street Methodist Church m honor of the returning Volunteers who belonged to the congregation. We have since learned from one who was there that there were over two thousand present on the above occasion and that Mr. Anderson's renderings of "Bule Britannia" and "The March of the Cameron Men" were applauded in a most eutusiastic manner, our noted vocalist being enchored in both instances. The Bust Burglar Again. â€" During Mr. Wm. Carrie's absence from town last week burglars broke into his residence, by prying open one of the windows, and ransacked all the rooms in the house. On his return Mr. Currie found the pockets of the garments he left at home turned in- side out, but as he had taken the pre- caution of putting all his money in the bank the thieves failed to fiud any booty. Two horse blankets were found spread out ou the hay in the stable loft where the miscreants had evidently taken a sleep. This ease together with the attempt to burgalize Dr. Cotton's residence last week proves that there are bad characters in the neighborhood and would be well if our citizens took every precau- tion to ensure the safety of their effacts.â€" Mt.

The London Society for the Sup- pression of Vice has employed detec- tives to shadow every member of the House of Commons and report the places visited by them. The members are naturally furious, but are power- less to resent the more than implied insult. H. B. Harrison, of Uie Owen Sound Marble Works, leaves that town per S. S. Campana for Port Arthur on Friday evening with a large consign- ment of monuments and tombstones. He takes one monument at a cost of $1,000. Jt is St. George granite, stands twenty feet high, and one block weighs 5,500 lbs. Mr. Harrison's oiit- put for this season has averaged $500 per week. The MaU winds, up an absurdly optimistic article on the state of the country by remarking that we have come out of the ordeal of financial depression "poorer than we were in booms and bladders and bubbles, but rich in experience." Oh, yes, we have a perfect welth of experience. Had our contemporary in mind, we wonder, the family story about the two busmess partners, one of whom contributed the money and the other the experience. The country is a good deal in the position ol the former when the connection was dissolved, we have the "experience," and the syndicate monopoUsts, salary grabbers and government favorites have the money. â€" News. A. 0. U. W. Excursion. â€" The ex- cursion to Owen Sound and Wiarton last Tuesday under the auspices of the Shelburne lodge of Ancient Order of United Workmen was a grand success.

The Citizens' Band of Owen Sound accompanied the excursion from the latter place, and discoursed selections of music along the wav. A game of lacrosse was played at Wiar- ton between the team of that place and Shelburne team the latter won the game. The committee ol the ex- cursion did all in their poaer to make things generally enjoyable, and were eminently successful. Tffl! Rev. Geo. H.
