NOTE AND COMMENT. â€" Erupp, the famoos maker of cannon, is dead. â€" Last Saturday was the liottest Jaly day known for man years on 4hi8 coDtinent. â€" Hon. Oliver Mowat left for Eng- land last week and will be absent two months. â€" If all the transgressors against Jiqnor laws were fined, our govern- ^ment wonld not require to raise the a-evenue by imposing a duty, â€" An unprecedentedly large number of fatal cases of sunstrokes have been reported from the United States dur- ing the recent hot spell. â€" A prolonged plasters' strike in To- ronto has just ended .-. the strikers having secured their demands on certain conditions. â€" A Committee of Imperial Parlia- ment has been formed for the purpose of endeavoring to cheapen the postal telegraph charges between the Mother Country and the Colonies. â€" 52J miles of the Grand Trunk will be double-tracked between Toron- to and Montreal this season. The work is to be taken up again next year, and the third season the work is to be completed between the aboye cities. â€"A terrible accident occurred last Friday evening at St, Thomas, a freight train loaded with oil running into a crowded excursion train at the Grand Trunk crossing. The cars took fire, causing one of the oil tanks to ex- plode, eleven persons being burned to death and many fatally injured. â€" One of the mf^st extensive con- flagar^ions the city of Montreal has seen for many years occurred early on Priday naorning, the St. Lawrence engar refinery, one of the largest in the Pominion, being completely de- stroyed. One of the workmen was killed while escaping from the burning Inailding, and several others are rumoured to be missicg. The loss estimated at nearly $600,000. To ths Editor tKe BriHQMip. ^nt.â€" The EoMoinqK^BasMstie item appeared in the Fleshertou Advance, as an Siiitarial Note, last week.â€" "The TweBtb of July will likely be celebrated in Markdale next year, and it will be intwesting to notice then whether Flesherton will mtimate cer* tain oitiseiiB of that ^kani^ place in the matter c£ brin^g their own edibles along with them iEUi? i^enting some public hall for the poi^ose df feeding the hungry nraltitode in oppo- sition to the hotels and^atmg houses. Well, some peotde^in iiiarkdale may "want the whoR earth." but.. thank God, they can't get it 1" I pfesumo Mrs HolUngsheadis the person referr- ed to, who having been engaged by certain lodges of Orangemen two weeks prior to the 12th to provide dinner that day, did so in good faith and without malice. Said lodges are not of Markdale more than of Flesher- ton either, but were ddftemmed to secure a good dinner, and knew well where to get it. I might here say however to the editor of the Advance that it's a miserable thing to be so envious with the village of Markdale. An Observeb. A Itecouunendation. SIMLIMG SLAUGHTER.

Sm. â€" ^I should like to remind readers, at this period, that If they wish to plant rows of eveiygreen for shelter, it can be well done in the last week of July or the first of August. Bows of these trees, whether pine, or cedar, or spruce will be found in- finitely superior io maples, with which so many are now forming windbreaks, as the everygreens will give shelter in winter or spring, which the others will not. Passing through some of our front townships lately, I was glad to see that many of the farmers were planting these everygreen rows. Of the trees mentioned the Norway spruce will probably grow quickest. J found a windbreak of lines of Norway spruce and pine, of which the spruce in twenty years had caught up to the pine planted thirty- five years. Now that our original forests are going fast, all should endeavor to plant at least a line of trees along one side of their farms. Planting trees is one of the chief means by which we can hope to preserve the fertility of the «oil. Yours c., E.W.PflipPS, Toronto July 15th 1887, CLIPPING S. IS Flesherton. From our own correspondevt Master D. K. Ei^-hardson returned home from the Owen Sound High Scliool on Saturday last, F. Armstrong, Esq., the popular manager of M Eichardson Go's, China Hall and hardware department, is off for a holiday this week enjoying the breezes of one of our northern lakes. Tne lawu party on Mr. S. Damude's grounds, under the ausp'ces of the Presbyterian Ladies' Aid, Friday even- ing last, was a very pleasant affair, and financially a success. Our exelc'or brans bard was present and added much the to evening's enjoyment. A marked improvement has been made in the seating capacity for the choir in the Presbyterian church. A choir gallery has been erected in the rpccss in the East end of the building which improves the appearence of the buildmg and adds much to the com- fort of those taking part in leading the service of song. The pastor, Mr. "Wilson, delivered an address to the Sabbath School children on Sabbath afternoon last, his Subject being based upon the life and character of the young boy â€" King, Joseph. The children and congre- gation engaged heartly in singing several choice selections and the Avhole service was more than usually mterest- in? to children. Mr. Geo. Park, sr., mail carrier between Flesherton and Feversham, met with an accident on Monday last by being thrown from his buggy receiving a severe bmise on the thigh and otherwise shaken up. It appears wh le driving past some cattle lying on the road one beast inmped suddenly up striking the baggy and upsetting it and Mr. Parks lay helpless untd f:lednpbya passer-by; the hone ii g quiet made no attempt t^ ran. Mr. Archie Campbell, of Glenelg, has in his possession a cow whose record for productiveness, both as a butter maker and stocki-aiser as well as for longevity we think has few parallels. She is now 23 years of age and has raised 19 calves besides en- riching Archie's coflfere to tire extent of about §400 from the sale of her dairy products, she is still as livly as a 3 year old.â€" [Durham Chronicle. Sunday School Convkntion. â€" The second, annual convention of the County of Grey Sunday School As- sociation in- connection with the Church of England was held at St. George's Hall on Friday last. Eev. Canon Mulholland occupied the chair, and there were between six by and seventy delegates presentfrom different parts of the county. The first topic [for discussion. "Lesson Leaflets, and how to use them." was introduced by Mrs. Farlie of Chatsworth, in a well considered address. Some took ground against leaflets, because of the danger of being used in schools instead of using the bible but on the whole the opinion was in favor of them. The question of "How to select and how to manage Libraries." was in- troduced by Mr. A. Turner of Mark- dale. Rev. Canon Mulholland m- troduced the subject of "Band of Hope," and explamed the method of conducting in Owen Sound, and Eev. J. C. Farthing also gave a yery. in- teresting address on this aiijdbt; while Miss. Anderson of Durham in- troduced the subject of "Infant Classes." The^e and ctiier topics elicited general and prtietical ctis-. cussions, and the convention akogeth- er was quite successful. Eev. J. ± airlie was elected President Miss. MocKer, yice-Pr«ideut; Mr, A. Turner, Jtecording Secretary and Mrs. Faurlie, Corresponding Secretary. It was arranged that the nexl^nven- tiou should be held at Chstewprth on the second Friday iu July '1888.
