J. £ow£ hs a large stock of all kinds logs at his mill and is now nmning full blast. He says they will be obUged to run night and day to keep up with orders. Messrs. Wiley, of Wileys' mill, tih line Euphrasia, have delivered at Mart- dale station recently 100,000 feet hard- wood lumber for shipment and have 80,- 000 feet more io deUver. Thxs season is said to be a good one for sugar-making; oue thitig we can vouch xor is, that our yearly supply of STTup from the camp of Geo. Bichard- son, Esq., Euphrasia, is a genuine article, as usual. The upper sash in the windows of dwellings should be made to drop leav- ing two or three inches space at the top.

A La»t recently died in whose private diary were found these words, "I es-pect to pass through this world but once.

C. a. McMillan, of Dundalk, spent a few days in Markdaie this week. A Little Boy astonished his compan- ions the other day by telling them that he had "a spanking team at his house." An excited crowd of boys had walked nearly home with him, when pne of them asked, "What d'ye call 'em " "Pa and ma," was the reply. Buyers of young horses have been throdgh the country iu the neighbor- hood of Toronto making purchases for North-West Banches, and pay an aver- age of $130 for fillies rising two years. This fact should be noted by farmers, as buyers will be found in this district just as soon as there are a sufBcient number of this heavy class to make it worth while coming. ACity Gentleman who contemplated purchasing a farm and becoming a tiUer of the soil, wrote to the editor of an ag- ricultural journal asking whether South- down rams or hydraulTcrams paid better on a fapa. The editor replied that it depended upon the soil. If the land was marshy and full of running streams he would advise the hydraulic breed. Off for B. C. â€" ^Mr. Burrowes Irwin took his departure on Wednesday morn- ing together with his mother and sister, for Chilliwack, B. C, there to join his brother 'I'hoaias in the sheep ranch business. Burrowes is a young man of sterli-ig worth, and highly respected aad esteemed by all who know him. It is wiiih sincere regret that we part with srch a 1 estimable young man from our CO oo-^iu ciiiy, and we are certain we yoice the sentiment of the public when we wl;ih him unbounded success in his new ho 'i:e aad sphexe. tious manner in which he discharged all his duties; and it is only voicing the sentiments at the people of this town when it is added that he is respected and esteemed by all, not only for bis kindness of heart but for the high rank of his abilities. Mr. Hall will probably return to his hi^me in Canada. TioY u^. â€" As the last traces of "jack frost" dissapears, and the welcome bamy spring ushers iu. the duty of house-clean- ing becomes a practical question to every house-wife, who should have the co-operation of her hege-lord|; andwhile it is necessary to overhaul and renovate every nook and corner ia the house, it is Tione the less necessary to tidy up the yards, clean aad disio'ect closets, aQ(» thus have all the surronnt'iags put in a shape that will not ooly have the appearance of taste and cleanliness but from a sanitary point of view will pro- tect the household from sickness and disease, and thus prove a means of hap- piness combined with economy While all this is in progress a little paint can in many cases be used with advantage and profit. Almost any person can do ordinary house paintiog by means of prepared material, which can now be had at a small cost, and thus save in after months much "scrubbing" of wood work. The front fence would look the better of a coat, also the shop front It's wonderful what an imr)rovemeut a coat of paint gives the e:..'erior as well as interior of?a house or shop, wbl^e the cost should be coasidered an ecooomial I rather than a luxurious oi^Ua,?.

L. is having an Arbor Day, end now that our village is taking a step, forward io becoming a distinct municipplity, we; cannot urge too strongly the importance of having a day set apart for tree-plant- ing and thus every citizen assist in beautifying our village and as our new council will scarcely be in shape in time to name a day, and our present "village police" appear to think their office al- ready defunct, we would suggest that Friday, the 4th May, be set apart as Arbor Day for Markdaie. "Notwithstanding the universal, and oft repeated, printing office rule, that no communication will be inserted without the publisher being first furnished with the real name of the writer, yet, scarce- ly a month passes without such name- less articles coming to hand for pubUca- tion. I'hey are, however, all treated alike, viz. consigned to the waste basket, except perhaps m an exceptional case where the pnbUsher deems it to the benefit of the public to insert such. When Dr. Chase, author of the famous Chase's Receipt Book, died two years ago, he left the manuscript of what he said was hia "€rowning Life Work." It has been pablished in a magnificent volume of nearly 900 pages. It contains more than rix times the valuable matter that his old book did, and is the result of his whole life experience and obser- yation. If the value of Vtas book, hay- ing more than six times as much in it and thirty-five years of additional ex- perience, ean be measured by the valne of the old one, it is a book that no home should he without.
