 The Standard. OTEB Fire in Euphrasia. $2,500 WOBXH OF PEOPEBTY DI8TBOYED. MARKDALE MAY. 1, 1884. DAIRING BURGLARY McFarland's Store Entered lid the Vault Btown Open. OVER $2oo STOLEN. ]Vo Clue to the Perpetrators. On Sunday nijjiht last the establish- ment of W. J. McFarland, of this village, was entered and burglarized by supposed professiouals, who blew up the lock of the door leading into tho vault, and carefully secured what cash was within witli the exception of $150 in bills which was in a separate place. There being a heave thunder storm during the night, nothuig was heard or known of the affair until Monday moDiiiig, on entering when things were somewhat disorderly in the Post-office department.which leads to the vault. The lock was evidently blown open, as the smell of powder was still in those parts. Their entrance to the store appears a mystery, as all the doors were fast in their usual way in the morning. They escaped how- ever through the window from the Post-ofSce, leaving a sledge hammer, brace and bit, screwdriver, and other such tools. Nothing was molested in the store, they confining their opera- tions to searching for and securing hard cash, which was not at that par- ticular time in large quantities, being ottlj some $200 to be louud. The night previous there was over $700 in the same till. The funds belong to ihe Post-office, and we are not yet certain whether the Postmaster or the department wiil be responsible. There is no clue to the guilty parties, and to our knowledge, no suspicion as t3 who they may be. Id is thought they also attempted a break on Trimble's store, but the dog, which keeps shop at night, made a racket, and is thought to have thus savad a further theft. ')n Tuesday morning last about 2 o'clock a. m. the buildings of Mr. Hugh Abercrombie, of lot 11 con. 1 Euphrasia together with all his stock, comprising of 7 horses, 22 head of cattle, 20 sheep, about 500 bushels of grain, and all his agricultural implements was totally distroyed by fire. No clew as to how the fire originated has been obtained, but Ih supposed to be work of incendiary. Mr. Abercrombie's loss is estimated over $2,500 as there was no insurance, save $400 on the buildings, in Eoyal InsurH.nce Company. The scene of the ruins the following morning is said to be terrible, some of the horses appear to have broken frcm the stall and got into the middle of fire, the sheep were hudled in one corner of their compartment aud a valuable bull broke lose and got to the door where he fell m the flames. This has been one of the severest looses of any of oiir agriculturalists in the County for Years, The Father of the Pp'css. THE OLPEST NEWfcPAPEK MAN IN CAN J)A DIES AT KINGSTON. Kingston, April 28.â€" This morning Dr. E. G. Barker, city registrar, died at the advanced age of 85 years. He was generally considered the father of tlie Canadian press. In 1884 he founded the British Whig, and in 1889 began the publication of the Daily British Whig, the first daily in the Dominion. Some twelve yeais ago he retired from journalistic duties, the paper passing into the control of his grandsou, E. J. B. Pense. Last New Year's eve the paper celebrated its 50th aunivorsary, and the 8oth birthday of the vetman editor. The deceased was an energetic worker, a vigouros writer, and one of those early editors who did much towards lay lug the foundation of our Canadian constitution. His burial occurs to- morrow at two o'clock. Cor. Brown Toronto Si's MAHZDALE %s- the place to get BARGAINS in Dry Goods, Groceries, Boots and Shoes, Grockeryy Glassware ^.c dtc.

JImA- d*te- .176-215 The Law of the Road. Turn to the Hioht. â€" The most im- p^jrtant law of the road is, that when two persons in vehicles coming from opposite directions iire about to meet, each shall reasonably b^ar to the right of the middle or travelied portion of j the road, so that they can pass each other without intertereuce. A travullfr IS not required to keep on the ri{,hr side of the road nil the time he can drive »vhere he pleass.s or where the going is best, soling as lie turns to the right when he meets another vehicle. If the middle aud usually travelled portion of the road is very muddy, and for this or any otlier reason persons are traytliing aluug the side of the road, then the one who IS on the left side of the road is in dutv bound to turn out. Circumstaucc;- may arise which would justify a. deviation from it, aud when they do arise, a traveller cannot stick blind ly to the law, and then claim damages it he is injured. In the crowdel streets of a metropolis drivers are required to exercise very great care, and when the high degree of care dic- tates a departure from tins law of the road, then it is not only justifiable, but a failure to observe it might cut off one's right to recover damages if' he is injured. This luruing to the right is just the opposite of that in England, which requires all diivers to turn to the left. The rule of turning 111 England is based ou long liouorea custom; our rule is estai.'lislipd b^ statute. Foot PASSENiiERs. â€" All pe sons have the tame ligut to walk iu the highway that they have to diive there, and they have the same right to walk in the middle of the street that they have to walk on the foot-path at the side. When one is walking in the wagon track, he must observe greater care to avoid collision with vehicles, but the fact of his being there is not of itself negligence. It is his duty to turn out for teams, especially if heavily laden, but teamsttrs h ive uo right to run over him simply been us he happned to be in the way. Tiiey would be liable for the injury if they did. Foot passengers have the uu doubted nght to cross the street at any time and place, aud persons driving along it must use due cnre not to run into them, and must hold up to let them get by. ihe foot passenger must also exercise due care to avoide injury, for if he dods not, he can recover do damages if injured. If he sees a team coming at a rapid rate he is not justified in attempliui! to cross ahead of it, or bhoukl lit- attempt cro88iD2 a crowded thoroiigt- f»re tritliont first looking caiefully both ways.
