There is a world of difl’erence between the balchelor girl and an old maid. An old maid is a woman who missed matrimony and had no other resource to which to turn. A bachelor gin! is an unmarried woman who earns her living in a. merry, independent way, and feels that. she will never be- dis- appointed whother she marries or DOC. Two BARXS BURXED.---On ;,Tuesday 1 afternoon last while Mr. Thos. Cald-l well, of Orchardville, was attending ? the Egremont Fair at Holstein, his fine barn, one of the best, if nOt the 1 besc in the county, caught fire in; sOme mysterious manner, and before anything could be removed the whole structure was laid in ashes. A Stiff breeze was blowing at thetime and a burning shingle was carried to Mr. John Calvert’s about fifty rods away and, lighting on the roof, it, too, be- came a prey to the devouring element. We have not learned full particulars but the losses will be great. The building cannot be replaced for less r : Absolutely Un_s_hflnkab|o. l TEN years ago a man with a wife, two children, and 310 in his pocket drifted into Chicago.

THE New McIntyre Block is being pushed ahead rapidly, and when finished will present. a. fine appear- ance. The new addittion will have six stores on the ground flat, and the second floor will be used as dwellings. THE fever we had in town a few weeks ago, about which there was so much scare in the surrounding town- ships, is rapidly simmering down to the vanishing point and we are pleas- ed to add, without any fatalities. It is true some of them were i“ good and sick ” according to their own story, but we trust that in a short time, every one of them wiil be as active and healthy as before the at- tack. IT has been suggested that a great leakage could be avoided in connec- tion with our Furniture Factory if we had a chair manufactory in con- nection with it. At present a great deal of material, utterly worthless for general furniture mustbe used as fuel, whereas with a. chair factory in connection every scrap could~ be made use of. It would be well, we think.'for the Directors to take the matter into consideration. A sensational case of elopement occurred this week when one of the young men of Meaford, respectably connected, made his disappearance at Ithe same time as another man’s wife from the same place. On Tuesday Constable GeorgeOwens, of Meaford, came over to town with a large sheet of paper in his hand and a determin- ation to round up the erring lovers. One of them, the woman, he found at a boarding house, the other at an hotel. The oflicer took the young: fellow hack to Meaford, but the law apparently had no hold on him, for he was acquitted at the Lakeside Town. It is said that the pair took the Parry Sound out of here last night. --O. S. Sun. THE increase in population will soon make it necessary to erect new dWellings. Even now and in fact for some time past, it is difficult to get a place lit to live in. At present there are many old shacks. overten- anted, that wouldn’t be looked at if better and more convenient places could be secured. Again the rent asked for some of the better class of dwellings is so high, that only those who are in fairly good circumstances can afford the luxury of agood house to live in. Many peOple who have not houses of their own, think that renting is an unsatisfactory outlay and would build for themselves if eligible sites could be secured at a reasonable price, but here we are again coxnbated by the extravagant greed of land owners, whose valuae tion should cause a blush when the sale price is compared with the cash value placed upon the property. Such greed is detremental to the pro- gress of . any town and our Council and Assessor should see to it, that vacant and eligible building or bus- iness property is run up on the As- sessment roll. This is no visionary hint and we feel assured that our i'l‘own Fathers would be justified in getting a revenue out of property that might be built up and enhance the value oi the place. ‘ and Em- new sub- tnem at I .

In consequence boys’, youths’. and men’s pants, suits and overcoats can be purchased at big reductions. ' THE rapid material advancement of Durham during the past two or three years is bringing out in greater hid- eousness the shabby old land marks that are still left, but will, we trust, soon be replaced by something more beautiful an more useful. Instead of the old sExck's of two or three years ago, have now fine brick blocks that would do credit to places of much greater pretentious. In- stead of the rickety old sidewalks we are getting in the modern granolithic, and better than these, instead an army of idlers, our young men to their credit, have been transformed, into bread winners for themselves and their families. Far be it from‘ us to admit that any government should get credit for these visible signs of progress. The thing is uni- versal iit‘rtihis western continent, and we only are the wave of prosperity, now spreading from the Atlantic to the Pacific. and lrom the Torrid regions to the Artie zone. And yet with all our improvements there re- mains a l'ck. _ The bridges in the heart of the town are not at all creditable, and notwithstanding oc- casional patchworth, new structures will soon hav e to replace the old ones, but the character of the new bridge and the material of which they should be composed is a question worth considering. Steel bridges have been Spoken of, and in some alocalitios are quite pOpular, but as the Spans over our river here are ,quite short. the building of stone ibridges might be in fact is, well worthy of thorough inve igation. ’ Of material suitable for such urposes 1we have no lack, and during the Tslack winter season a great deal of it could be put 3n the ground" quite cheaply. Howev,er as the question is not seriously thought of we shall yleate it for consideration. Mrs. .133. Redford 18 visiting Allan Park frielfds Mr. McArthur is now in McKecb- nie’s old Stand.

Knapp, of the Knapp House, and is travel- ling for Knapp Bros. Cigar Firm, of which firm he is a member. The writer undertook to describe definitely to a large class how to make aloaf of bread. The getting together of the flour and other in- gredients proved smooth sailing, but when we eXplained that a good hand- full of hops should next be added dry to the mixture, an unmistakable giggle from difierent parts of the room was satisfying evidence that something was wrong, and not until afterwards did we know the hops had to be soaked in boiling water before they were put into the dry flour. In describing some of the fantastic pai- aphernalia seen round a millinery shop on opening days we trust our readers will pardon us if we step aside from the path of correct millin- ery rectitude, and make a blunder similar to the one we have just ac- knowledged. On Friday and Saturday last the millinery establishment of Ireland Co.. and Miss Culbertson 'were visit- ed by a large number of ladies from town and country, who now regard it as part of the charm of living to go from place to place and gaze upon the artistic beauties. The work of this department at Ireland Co’s. is again under the management of Miss Dick, of Lon- don, who is now putting in her sec- ond season here. In a short inter- view we were pleased to learn what can hardly be regarded as other than an increased pOpuIarity in Miss Dick’s work. The sales are a good criterion to judge by and, though Fall is not so good and brisk in millinery goods. yet the sales here have far surpassed those of the Spring Opening which at that time were considered highly satisfactory. The walls of the show room were neatly draped and hung with very attractive pictures which, together with the unusually large diaplay of pretty bonnets and hats, captivate at once the eye of the be- holder, . The name “General Roberts,” “ Baden-"Powell," “ Volunteer,” “Powerful,” “Valiant,” etc., given to various articles of head gear are suggestive of a strong military ad- miration which we trust the ladies wearing such hats will carry their hearts as well as their heads. We give here a brief but very imperfect description of a few of the pretty articles on exhibition at the Opening, beginning with a handsome picture hat. 1. This elaborate model is made of black mirror velvet, draped crown clasped with one large steel buckle. Brim of black tucked velvet; and tucked chifion facing, a very stylish bow of ribbon velvet, at back. 2. Another picture hat. that will be exceedingly popular this winter willbe the double brim, bent. up at MILLINERY OPENINGS. , of‘the . spent side and filled out with two drooping Amizon plumes. Miss Culbertson. too, made every effort to give an attractive appear- ance to her show rooms. The walls here also were artiStically trimmed, looked pretty and were quite in keep- ing with the large lot of elegantly trimmed hats and bonnets that at. once arrested the attention of the writer. To the interested eye of male visitors it seemed that nothing could be prettier. We did not learn any fancy names by which these goods were known, but we have no doubt that some imaginative genius could invent something that would be quite appropriate. Here goes a descrip- of a few of them: 3. Large gray mirror velvet toque brim draped with handsome chenille, white ospreys and steel buckles. Draped crown of mirror velvet. 1.- A blueogray velvet turban, with gray fur on the brim,-â€"1arge soft crown and a. very handsome gray bird on the left corner of front, trim- med at left side with 100ps of gray ribbon. which extends gracefully around the crown to right where it is finished with a handsome bow. 2. Ablack silk velvet hat, with sequin crown. Edge of leaf hasa round of black chiffon, the under side of leaf being encircled with two rows of white tucked chifion, trim- med with two large ostrich tips fall- ing gracefully over the left side and the left corner of the front has a large rosset of black chifion. The right side being finished with bows of black velvet ribbon. The side band is finished with loops of velvet ribbon caught with a rhinestone pin. _.‘-3. A child’s hat of rose colored' velvet, under side faced with sherred cream silk, finished with a large ruche of cream chifion. The brim is made of a frill of the, velvet with stitched edge, edged with cream lace. Soft crown of the velvet and trimmed with a large bow of the cream ribbon in front. 4. A chinille bonnet. Puff of silk velvet around the edge anda beautiful sequin wing falling grace- fully from the left front over the crown. Two black ostrich tips at the right corner. Abroad bow of satin ribbon across the front knotted with handsome green ribbon, finished at» corners with 100ps of the ribbon, and on the back is a handsome rhine- 3§one buckle. ~ 0.7 The Juliette, a very handsome black felt hat, trimmed with three large black ostrich plumes, two fall- ing over left side and one over the hair at back. The back has 100ps of black ribbon velvet, the front has large knots of taffeta silk with stitching under the leaf on, side is a very handsome knot of cerise velvet.
