It's about eight mpoths since I ihrnte my last editorial, and as the boss is sway to Ooderich and won't be heme for a week or more, I again 4ltap into his shoes. He dido 't say a ifrord against my last efTc^t bat, by joye, old man Flewes wouldn't speak to me for months after. Well, things have moved along about as usual. Our ranks have not auffered from matrimony or other siatara] causes to any serious extent â€" true, Hugh Mercer joined the army of benedicts, Jack Bichards started a store at Eocklyn, and Frank Porter climbed a tree fishing for porcupine quills but the rest of us are still en- joying single blessedness; how long the latter state of affairs may continue there is no telling one thing is cer- tain, some of them are in sore need of a housekeeper. Since the skating rink has closed, there ia^inxt little amusement. Some are extremely hard against the Boiler Bink, and condemn it in severe terms, jet we have heard others remark, and very truthfully, "How little drinking there has been done in Markdale the past winter," so that it was not an unmixed evil, to say the least. Having been laid up on the shelf for a few days with a sick ankle, and having charge of the business and not much help, it leaves me in poor condition for editorial writing, especi- ally anything komikal, so we shall conclude, and if C. W. does not send something in the shape of a leader for next week, perhaT)8 we will try again. W. T. J. Ifnmtmrmneomnemdtmt. Fbbb CaiOT«i8.â€" The Wizard Oil Co. gave eeveral open air ooncerta in our vUIag« last week. Thbir music was of a high order and duly appreoi ated. We believe not less than 500 people were present on Saturday evening. The concert company were invited to ring in the Methodist church on Sunday evenmg. The invitation was aceepted. They sang several anthems, very choice selections, which were well rendered. The house wais packed to the doors, the ushers find- ing it difficult to get all in. The Rev. Mr. Auld, of Eugenia, delivered a very interesting discourse upon the min- istery of angels. Mr. Buchannon, of Hamilton. Grand Secretary of the Boyal Templars of Temperance, delivered a very inter- estinsr and mstructive lecture on "Templarism and Temperance" in the Town Hall here on Monday evening last. The town of Plesherton will be well represented at the Gnelph Conference this season. Bev. Mr. Ayers, M. Bichardson, Dr. Christoe, W. Clayton and J. W. Armstrong all left for con- ference on Tuesday morning. arr 68paBd3BX53* Notice. â€" We wish it distinctly nnderstood ihat we do not hold oarselves responsible for thft opinions expressed by oar correspondents Markdale, May 25th, 1886. To the Editor of the Standard. Snt, â€" I notice, m last week's issue of Stamdaud, an article attested by Johnson Wilson. He states he carried the rifie, he loaded it, he fired, and the result. He states he did not know lifle wasi^Qg^' Feversbain. broken. It was not broken, but there was a missing part, the ejector, which it IS impossible for any one who has seen a rifle, not to obserye, and which caused cartridge to burst. The piece taken from Alf.'s eye is about quarter of an inch long, and corresponds ex- actly with space left open by missing ejector. He does not state how he got rifle. It was obtained without permission of owner, who had pro- hibited any one from using it, for above reasons. He also states trigger was filed and be started from shop. Now, he filed part of trigger himself, and did not start from shop till after the accident. I will also state that Alf. was not one of the party, but was working in snop, and followed them to the door also, he did not coax or urge Wllfcon to fire, but he admits saying, after rifle was loaded, to "aim at a post," whichether two witnesses corroborate. He stales shooting took place in an adjoining shed. ]Now, it took place about 3 or 4 feet from eur saw table and casting mill. The whole letter is evasive and though I do not admire writing about the aSair, I am compelled to write, as it appears he wishes to shirk all responsibility, and put the whole blame on Alf. who has to suffer the coc sequences oi the accident. I am sorry any one should think the shooting intentional as "Truth" in llesherton Advance sup- poses from statement'in Standaud. I would also state that Johnson's letter is the fir.st apology he has made so far. I would just here remind Mr. Wilson of (he good old maxim, "Do ye unto others as you would that others do to yon." Thanking yon for above space, T. L. Moffat. [The above wae crowded out last ireek. â€" En. S.] Wrom a Correspondent. Times are improving in this village now that the formers are all through seeding and the mills have commenced operations again. The men have been on strike since the 24th, therefore can sing "The«mil]'s to be closed." Quite an exciting event took place last Sabbath morning, Mr. Ab. Han- ley's horse, taking fright at a pile of wood, ran away, throwing he and his sister out of the buggy and injuring them to a certain extent. Mr. Anson Lee has moved from Mr. Mitchell's residence and taken up his abode in one owned by Mr. Lush. Mr. Campaigne has moved into the house vacated by Mr. Lee. Mr. B. T. McGirr has sold his valu- able brown pony, Mr. Thos. Colhns, of the Grand Central House, Colling- wood, being the purchaser. Mr. Geo. Donkin, our respected miller, has taken his departure from our midst and gone to Shelburne, his place having been filled by Mr. A. J. Conron. Two of .our worthy. merchants (one an ex-Divine] got into quite a squabble about some wood, but ended in noth- ing but some hot words. Mr. H. got the wood all right, and Mr. N. felt pretty bad, not so much about the but the manner in which Mr.' H. took it. Mr. John Deacon, the well known sport, has been paying our town a short visit. "Ayearsgonj l»«a*"wa« oomtm wtth matm. and the atnptianB eev«red«T » f '"" » no eon I tried BurfortTBlood Bitten.
