FICTION At no period in the History of the world has fiction held so prominent a position as a factor for good or evil as it does at present, true, its importance and powerful influence has, from the eariiest ages, been recognized, l)Dt never has it occupied so important a place as it d^jm to-day. The necessity there- fore of a continuous supply of pure fiction to uounteract the pernicious influence of the demoralizing class of stories which has, un- fortunately, so widespread a circulation, is patent to the most superficial thinker. In this matter the Standabd has aimed at the best. The class of fiction to be found in its colums from week to week will bear compar- ison with anything published. Its stories are pure in tone,e)evating in their influence, and are written by writers of acknowledged ability, whose names are well and favorably known in the world of literature. Id. this connection we would direct attention to the new Serial "SteUa," which commenced last week. It is powerfully written, faoinating in plot, and pure in tone, and will be found deeply interesting in the phases of human life and motives depicted. BLEST.

BEEN DAEING BUKGLAEY AT COLLINGWOOD. Coi.LiNGWooD, July 4. â€" Last night a dar- iug i;urt;lary was committed here by men who evidently understood their business. The safe of Messr?. Best and Nettleton, liquor dealers, and two safes of B. Callary's Glasgow House, were opened by drilling -inall holes close to the combinations, then 'uiiig powder to break the combination, Messrs. Eest and Nettleton suffer to the ex- ti'iU of 5100, together with yalnable papers, '.iul Mr Calary's loss was ?200 in cash. Dur- ing tlie night Mr. Calary, who sleeps direct ly over Best Nettletton's store, fancied he Ii'jard some great noise, but paid no atten- tion to it, and was greatly surprised this iiiorniog on going to his store to find that ho was minus S200 ar^d his two safes de- stroyed. The matter has been taken in hand br the proper autliorities, and what small •-â- Ires ascertained, telegraphed to different towns and cities. Strange to say the doors 'f each store were bolted and locKed as left by the proprietors the night before. The burglars must have effected an enterance by skeleton keys. Last Thursday a very successful pic-aic was held at the Orange HaU, Flesherton Station, in aid of the Sunday School Library of that place. Mr. Hogg as Saperintendent, presided, and Mrs. Doupe, prepared the viands, for which that Lady deaeryes much piaise for their rare dehcacy and flaTour. After doing ample justice to the '•goodies," recitations, dialogues, and select pieces of music were sang, in which Mrs. W. Mitchell ably assisted, rendering the occasion one of the happiest we have attended in many a day. It would be impossible to particularize where all acted their several parts so well, no doubt the most interesiing part to many of the yungsters was Mr. Mitchell's "Hobby Horses," which this gentleman generously placed at the disposal of the young people â€" success to your efforts, friends.

It becomes our duty this week to chronicle the death of an old and highly respected citizen in the person of Mr. Samuel (Joleman, aj;,, who de- parted this life on Saturday the 7th inst. Mr. Coleman was born in Kd- dare Co., Ireland in the year 1810 leaving him 74 year* of age at his death. He emigrated to Canada in the year 1833, settling in Leeda Co. and 20 years later he removed to his late residence, Artemesia Tp., where he resided up to his death. This section of country was a dense forest tJurty years ago when Mr. C. settled here, the first settlers being but three 01- four years in the Township previ- ous. None but those who have ex- perienced it can tell the amount of hardships and privations the pioneers of this country had to endure. The f subject of this sketch was, however, an industrious, pushing and frugal (arraer, was always foremost in farm iog operations, and by many years of hard toil and indomitable enerj^y iu clearing the forest and cultivatiao the soil, became the possessor of a beanti- iul farm and comfortable home. His family are grown up ftud well-to-do, while his highly re»pect8d and much beloved partner in life passed on be- fore some eight years s»go. Mr. Cole- man lost his health some two years ago and has since .s^fleved very much with dyspepsia, w-hich was the cause of bis death. He was kind hearted, a loving father and obliging neighbor,, and his remairs were followed to their last resting place, in tlie English Church Cem»tei7 on Monday by a large eoncowse of friends and ac- quainfeancci.
