Four gone the years have come and since we lanncked our bark on sea of public joomalism. The paper •ras fiye years established when it tjame into oar hands, hence it is now a "nine year old." We have had our share of the nnmeroQS perplexities common to the lot of country editors yet we have not been overcome by despsndency, but rather feel encoaraged by the measure of success which has attended our labors. We do not pretend to compete with the city week'ies either in political strife or foreign news but we shall continue to fil] the'colums of the Standard with interesting local and district news such as our readers cannot find in the city papers, and which ought to be of more interest than that from a distance. We are more than convineed that the Stand- ABD as a non-political paper, is what Uie public are after. It is an old saying that "the proof of the pudding 16 in the eating thereof." And we are fully satisfied to accept the proof received during past years in a patronage* far exceeding our expec- tations. We are now in the midst of a "boom" in regard to the circulation of the Standabd, wliich if continued another two mouths equal to the past we will be under the necessity of substituting a power press for the hand press now in use we only trust it shall be so, and we can assure oor patrons that tbey will share the benefits of a still further improvement in the Standabd. Should this change take place, it would incur an outlay -of about $1,000, and it will be neces- sary for all who are an arrears to square their indebtedness, and we know it will not be a difficult task now just try, pay up to date and a year in advauce, and see if the paper will not appear more interesting than eyer- Hoping our many agricultural friends may secure an abundant harvest and realize a good market price for the same we remain your humble servant, the Editor. THE LATE TRAGEBY. The general topic of convereation. the past ten days, through the whole district has been the late tragedy. Various false and erronious reports have been circulated, some of which have found their way into public print, and as we have taken pains in finding correct particulars in regard to the same we will endeavor to give the facts. One report, to the effect that M, Norris had sent Miss Ford a sealed letter the morning of the sad event, and that said letter contained a proposal of marriage, giving her until 10:30 inter- mission to decide. Mow, there is no truth whatever in said report, as no sucn letter was either sent by Norris, or received by Miss Ford. During the morning session Norris handed to Miss I'ord, in her depart- ment, a large sheet of paper, contain- ing au outline of what the senior class in her department were to give special attention to in their studies between that date and Christmas, in view of their promotion to a higher depart- ment this, it is'supiK)sed, gave rise to the report of a sealed letter. Then it is commonly believed, having ap peared m most of the newspaper re- 1 credit to Dnndalk of an 0. ports that '(after Miss Ford had re- Flesherton had apparently awoke ceived one shot and endeavored to hide from its slumbers, and the scientific agihty displayed on both On Taeaday Iwt a return lOKtch wae played between the Fleaherton and Dondalk dube, on the grounds of tt» tormer, 9all dionld b»ve been pitched at 2 p. m- sharp, but owing to a delay in the railway train, two of the "At- lantic" dub, of Toronto, who were employed for Uie 'occarion, delayed the "pitohing of the ball" tiU half- past three. The toss sent Flesherton to the bat. Watt and Belford made one each, but it was evident Flesher- ton had "old hands" to compete with; and when we compared the tithe, youthful physique of the Flesherton- iuis with that of their adversaries, had we been a bettmg man, three to one would have been our voiture. Duadalk took bat and made one successful run, but on the second and third, were caught by Ruston and Bulmer, respectively.â€" 1 run. Flesherton took bat, and Clarke, om a neat stroke, was run out. H. BnU, on the fourth run, made good time, but rather risky for a less able dodger. â€" 2 runs. Dundalk. â€" Hanbury made gopd his third base at a single run. Jf. Langley made a similar success, and the innings ended with 2 runs. Flesherton took bat to the strikmg of W. Campaigns, who was not in training, but a substitute for Mr Mc- Dowell, the best player of the club, who was invalided by a painful malady in one eye but, aitho' Will, was out of training, he proved himself an ef- ficient striker and fielder and altho' the fielding of the Dundalkers was keen. Will's agility was more than a match for them. â€" 1 run. Dundalk took bat, and several good runs made, when D. Langley was caught by Hannah a ball struck by Glazier was caught at long-field by Hannah. A ball from Bundle was cleverly caught by Campaign, who "Stumped" third bace, ending this innings with a score of 6 to the credit of Dundalk. Flesherton sent Buskin as its first representative, who made a successful run, followed by A. E. Hannah. G. Bulmer made a neat hit, but was caught "on fly." â€" 2 runs. Dundalk was represented by J. D. Morgan, who made a herculean hit, and throughout the game distinguished himself by good, cautious, play. Han- bury and Langley went on the three strike rule. Bundle and Glazier made brilliant runs, but Hanbury was caught "on the fly" by H. Bull, at 4 runs. Flesherton seemed to "waken up" at this point, and sent Butherford to bat, who took an easy run. Bull went out "on fly" Buskin made his third base at one run while B. J. Hannah made a successful run to second bape; but the failure of Watt in reaching first base, ended the innings. â€" 2 runs. ' Dundalk sent Langley to bat, bat was "run out" on third base. Glazier was caught by Butherford. Morgan made an excellent hit in this innings, which cleared all the bases. Barber was caught "on fly," which ended this innings. â€" 8 runs. Flesherton took bat to the hitting of J. Bulmer, who was caught "on fly." Geo. Bull made a good hit and a suc- cessful run. H. Bull was equally vigorous, when H. Clarke sent a ball across the field, and immediately fol- lowed by H. Bull, which cleared eyery base. Buskin took bat^ and made ^is third base in an easy run but the most successful "hit" of the day was made by B. J. Hannah, who ran the entire bascs in an easy trot. G. Bull was caught 'on fly," ending the inn- ings with 7 runs. Dundalk took bat to the striking of Finnerty, who was caught on second base, and Dean was caught by Watt, which terminated the innings with a partially under a desk for protection) Norris took hold of her with one hand, dragging her from under the desk, etC; This is also without foundation, as he never laid a hand on her in any shape or form durmg the whole affair. The young lady was fully conscious throughout, and, since 24 hours after the sad occurrence, has been quite communicative. We have been en- abled to get the facts from herself, so that this report is not second-handed. We are glad to be able to say that Miss Ford has continued to improve, resting well and sleeping peacefully during nights. Several pieces of bone were taken from her finger, and also a piece of lead. The finger will be par- tiaUy stiff. Miss Ford, we understand, was care-, fully driven to her home (a dista^^ce of about half a voale from Markdale) in a covered carriage, last Monday af tembojQ, We feel pleased to note thatshe arrived safely home, and is sides was pleasing to any appreciative beholder Watt proved himself "a successful dodger." â€" 3 runs. Dundalk lost her three first men in less time than it takes the writer to pen it, and the innings closed with au 0, from the "fly catches" of Hannah and Watt's. In the two succeeding innings little may be said- The usual "fouls," etc., were indulged in, and altho' the game was not carried out to termination, it is to be hoped all "rulings" of the umpire will be extinguished in the ocean of oblivion.

Deab Sm,â€" a base-ball match was played here yesterday between the Dundalk and Flesherton clubs. The game was keenly contested -favorable in the beginning to Dundalk club. At the close the Flesherton boys play- ed well giving Dundalk three (8) straight whitewashes, but owing to a repeated attempt at cheating on the part of Dundalk club, the game was broken up on the 8th innings leavmg Dundalk ahead, bemg 25 to 18 the general opinion of those present were that Flesherton would have come out best had the game been finished. Advantages were two (2) men from Toronto and a partial umpire who appeared determined that Dunclalk should wiu. Tours, M. Intemperance* a Prevalent* De- ceitflil* Loathsome, and Destructive Vice. To the Editor of the Standabd, Pro. XX., 1 â€" Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoeyar IS deceived thereby is not wise. Chap, xxni, 21 â€" The drunkard and the glut- ton shall come to poverty. 29 â€" Who hath woe who hath sorrow who hath redness of eyes who hath cun- teniions who hath bablmgs They that tarry long at" the wine, they that go to seek mixed wine. 84 â€" Yea, thou shait be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or he- that lieth upon the top of a mast. 35 â€" They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick they have beaten me, but I felt it not when shall I awake, 1 will seek it yet again. Isa. xxvui, 7 â€" They also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way tiie Priest and the Prophet haye erred through strong dnnk they are swallowed up of wine; they are cut of the way through strong drinls they err in vision they stumble in judgment. 8â€" For all tables are ful^ of vomit and filthin^ss, so that there is no place dean. Chap. Lvi, 12-rCome, say they, J will fetch wine and we will fill ourselves with strong drink. Dan. v, 1â€" Belshazzar the King made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. 4 â€" They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and of dilyer. Hos. iv, 11â€" Whoredom and wine take away the heart. INTBHPEBANCE FOHBIDINBN.. St. XXI, 20â€" They sh^ say ui^to the Elders of his dty This o^r son 18 stubborn and rebellious he will not obey our voice he is a glutten and a drunkard. 21â€" And all tibd men of the city shall stone him with stones, that he die so shalt thou put away evil from amongst you, and all Israel shall hear 4nd fear. Pro, xxm, 80â€" Be not among wine bibbcMS among riotous eaters of flesh. 31â€" Look aot upon the win© when it is red, wlieii it giveth its coIot in the cup, ^en it naoveth itself aright. 82â€" At last: it biteth hke a serpent and stingeth hlce aa adder.

Hab. xxi, 9â€" Wo unto him that giveth his neighbor drink that puttest thy bottle to him and makest him drunken, also that thou mayest look on his nakedness. John in, 19â€" This is the condemnation that light is come into tbe world, and men love darkness rather than light, be- cause their deeds are evil. Luke i, 15 â€" He, John shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wi^e nor strong drink. Bom. XIV, 21 â€" ^It is good neither to eat flesh nor to drink wine, or anything where- by thy brother stnmbleth, or is oflfendt ed or is made weak.
