[1‘ seems to us the Board of Health and the Town Council are a strange combination. and eSpecially so if cer- tain allegations are true. They are anxious to prevent the spread of disease. and for this anxiety we give them due credit. but to quarantine a house and to allow neither egress nor ingress under penalty is a hard-' ship in the case 0! a poor man, and if it be true that no provision is made to supply the needs of the quarantined family, the evil should be remedied at once, and the council should see to it. A rich man can leave his home, hoard elsewhere and make provision for the needs of his household, hut apoor man shut in with his family and with no one to look after his needs, has certainly a grievance. We shall be glad to be set right. 08 Thursday lest we took e run through the furniture factory, and were pleased to_eee everyrhipg gems on so nicely and with such clock-like precision. The institution is not very large. but it elm-do employ- ment for somewhere in the neighbor- hood of sixty hands. and all u buy as they can be. We could give a guarantee that we would go through the whole concern without interfer- ing with the hands. but ve’y shortly after we entered the first flour Mr. Wells, who is manager of the ma- chine department, took charge 0! us and went to considerable trouble in explaining the machines in Operation and starting those that were not running to give us an idea how they worked. It was quite an interesting visit tons, and caused us to reflect on the dilerent conditions of things now and beiore the factory was put in Operation. Just like the inaugur- ation of any new industry there were pros and cons in the discussion. and even in the vote on the By-law there were some to record them- selves against it. From Mr. Catton. the manager, and Mr. Rediord. the bookkeeper. we learned that things were going on nicely. and that orders were coming in faster than they could bellied.

We said our boys were defeated by 10â€"4. What does the Times want. anyway ? The game on the 12th between the same teams here resulted in ascore of 5â€"3 in favor of Durham.

Bret Thurston, of the Flesherton Advance, has a new Chandler Price Quarter Medium Gordon. We wish him luck with it, and hope he’ll never have it broken by an idiotic dreamer sticking a wrench into it. A person who comes to Durham is said to have no visible means of sup- port. His legs are certainly very smal}, but they can be seen with the naked eye. There were some rooters from Owen Sound, at. the Lacrosse match. but the meanem. one was a rooteress w on the grand stand who regretted that Whitney didn’t break his neck when he got one of his tumbles. Wasn’t that a. lady like remark ? Any ambitious man will get mar- ried so as to have a wife to support him rather than depend on the charity of municipal councils.

It’s crawling un- der the uwnings. “ Beauty is only skin deep "I be chunged to ” Beauty is only deep)’ Death has again claimed one of our citizens, and sadness reigns in the home of the afflicted. For some five or six weeks Mr. W. A. Maciarlane had not been able to attend his jew- elry business, but at first it was thought and hoped his illness would be only temporary, and that he would soon recover his usual health. Such, however. was not the case, and early on Tuesday morning last his bright spirit took its everlasting flight. It. takes a powerful lot ol to keep paint from running weather. The deceased young man was about. thirty years of age, and a general fa- vorite with every body, old and young. For many years of his early life he was an invalid, and though fond pa- rents and friends despaired of his recovery at times, he became fairly strong and healthy, learned the jew- elry business and a few years ago put in a stock of his own and was do- ing a good trade. Only last winter be fitted up his new place in the Mc- Intyre Block and had one of the neat- est little jewelry stores to be found anywhere. The deceased leaves to mourn his departure, his father, Mr. R. Maciar- lane 3n. two sisters. Mrs. J, P. Hun, ter and Miss Macfarlane, of Durham, and four brothers, George. druggist, of Glencoe. Robert, druggist, of Dur- ham. David, merchant, of Caledon, and Archie, of the Standard Bank at Picton. Death, it seems, was the result of a complication of troubles which we deem unnecessary to enumerate, " He was a good boy. and that's a consolation.” the Words of his father, leelingly sapreased, tell 'sutficiently the story 0! his life. and leave alast- inc comfort to those who mourn his death.

Everybody was tickled, but not too enthusiastic for the visitors had the reputation of being good finishers. with one of his corkscrew turns notched Durham’s second goal in 10 minutes. The second quarter. started at 4:58 With Durham again pressing, but the team from the north was bound to have a look in, and for nine minutes struggled gamely to score, but. Laid- law was always on hand and made some great staps. Again Briggs did the trick. On Friday alternoon the fifth championship Lacrosse game .in Die- trict :3 was played here between 0. Sound and Durham. To both teams the winning of this game meant everything. 0, Sound, after having defeated our boys on July lst, and again on the 8th making Markdale bite the dust, came down determined to clinch their hold on the pennant by efi'acing Durham from Pres. Mc- Millan’s U. L. A. Map. Durham was equally determined to redeem them- selves for the defeat in O. 8., so everybody was expecting ared hot game, nor were they disappointed. At 4:26 Referee Jos. Phelan, of Arthur, lined up the teams as fol. lows:â€" DEFEATED OWEN SOUND FIVE T0 THREE 0” THE TWELFTH. Large delegations were present from Markdale and Hanover. In this game the would be cham- pions never saw the ball till Grant landed it in the net in 45 seconds. The enthusiasm was now unbounded, as Durham had all the best of the play-as wasn’t the score 4â€"nil. But now the cheering was quieted for had not Owen Sound scored in 3 minutes, Dowkes doing the needful with a swift side wheeler. It now began to look serious for the boys were not covering, were passing poorly and shooting wildly. score being missed. For 15 minutes the greenshirted men seemed to be everywhere, and only the most stub- born kind of work by Durham’s de- fence prevented tho visitors from scoring enough goals to win the game. Ferguson scored in 6 minutes. and the remainder of the quarter found the home team playing a block game. Alter the rest and a thorough sponging and rubbing down, the Bar. hams came on the field as fresh as ever, and although their conquerers of the lat fought hard it was not to be. for Briggs set all minds at rest by scoring Durham’s 5th goal in 6 minutes. This made 22 minutes all told that had been played with no score. With 14 minutes to go, the visitors were desperate and made a determino ed dash on Durham’s flags. From a scrimmage in hunt of goal the ball was passed to Ferguson who scored the last goal of the match in 4 min- utes. For the remainder of the time the Dnrhams were content with retaining possession of the ball. sores. Attendance about 800. Everybody played clean lacrosse. The gate receipts amounted to over Banner. The Durham: are lending now. The Owen Sound Times will pleue make a note of it. The visitors were thoroughly placed with the treotment accorded them, and could not see where Muh- dcio bod any kick.
