The Standard. MAEKDALE OCT. 9, 1884. We are called upon tbis week to ckronicle the death fo Mr. Thos. Irwin, who passed away on Monday last after a liDgering illDess at the age of 49 years. Mr. Irwin was an old resident of Artemesia, well known and highly respected. His* remains were followed to their last resting /place by a large concourse of surrowing Irieuds and acquaintances. FLESHEETON. "While visiting the County Show at Flesh- erton, we were pleased to notice that it is waking ap and not at all disposed to give np the comnetition for trade altho' placed at some disadvantage for railway facilities relatively with other places on the T., G k B. railway. The hnsiness buildings in course â-  of erec^on are of a character that bespeak t permanency and durability. J. H. Heard ' Gons are preparing for extensiye building operations next spring. Dr. Christoe's block ' is rapidly approaching completion, and is not only handsome, but when flaished will be equal to some of the best business blocks in sbowihiBt 'An opeitti^ in 4he earner of tli*. boot mn-toom le«da np • inr ttegs into the ololhing.dqMiuneBt.

The hard- ware and crockery store in tius is also kept a fine display of silver-plated goods fine China, beautifidly ornamented in gold and hand painting, and a large assortment of glassware and lamp goods. The thonsand and one nseful articles needed to be kept iu a weU-fumished hardware store like this would seem enough to tax the full attention of one busy brain to keep supplied everything from ladies pen-knifes to mounted grind stones. Another ware-house was still needed and is being- fitted up in which to store window glass, nails, iron, oils, paints, cord- age, and all the heavy unsightly, but not the less nseful materials which are incorporated in the building and furnishing of our homes. The counters and desks, etc., are beautiful specimens of cabinet art, showing also the beauty of some of our native woods, when wrought into artistic designs by skilled workmen, and the superiority of the natural •(rain to the most skilled imitations of the painter's art. On the whole we congratulate the village on the acquisition of such a hand- some building, beautiful by night as well as by day, as it is brilliantly ht up by gas ex- ternally as well as internally, and when it receives the finish of a large mirror to be .,H i x- The annual faU show of Arteibesia township- was held in FneBvMB ou Tuesday, the 7tb.

Hamilton, Toronto and Shelbume, where there is no competition, get bread delivered at 10 cts. There is a screw "fast" somewhere. CONSUMEB. A liAHE r-LANT. The Wild Strawberry Plant possesses rare virtue as a cleansing, cooling, ascringent, an- teseptic and healing medicine, and when combined with other valuable vegetable ex- tracts, as in Dr. Fcwler's Extract of Wild Sirawborry. it is an unfailing remedy in jdl bowel complaints.

The new Presbyterian Church is very wdl situated on an elevation ^^^ ^^ ^^ ^^^^^ the'mlllinery depart- ment, and which will be so placed as to re- flect the whole interior of (he main store. It at the eastern end of the village, and it is one of thejprettiest ecclesiastical Ftructures in this northern country. The style is gothic with some elements of the French Benaiss- auce which may be observed in the tower at the eastern angle the finale to which, intend ed we suppose for belfry is the only objec- â- tionablo point in the building. However as we are not sufciently skilled in architecture to suggest what it might, could, or should have been, we forbear further criticism other than to say it did not present to our eye the best point for a picture of the edifice. We should not do justice to this subject did we not notice the fine business block erected by "M. Eichardson, and into which he has recent- ly moved. An attempt was made by our ccntemporarj' the Advance, to give its read ers some deszription of the building, and such as it was it might pass, as the most of them live within a limited area of the village and can, from personal inspection, get for themselves the information the Advanee at- tempted, but tailed to give. As the Standabd reaches many a home and greets many an eye far from Artemesia who, 1 /ova. earUer as- 6o.ciations,stiU have a love for and interest in its progress, we will give a short description '^f this the finest business premises in the • County of Grey, The bnilding is of brick and cut stone with mansard roof, three stories, frontage on Sydenham street, and as there is an incUne from the corner on Dur- ham street in the length of the building of ten feet, it presents a four-story frontage on that street. The streets do not run at right angles, and the sight is an obtuse or open angle spreading from thirty feet ou the front to sixty feet at the rear of tne building. The shape of the lot and the unequal leyel of the streets having been utilized to the very best advantage. There is an annex in the rear of the building which has a front entrance on Durham street to the hardware store, the front of which has a yery handsome design, as tiie window in form of a beautiful arch takes in the upper story which lights the clothing department immediately above. Approaching from Sydenham street we were Agreeably surprised to note the wide, lofty door space, the handsome black iron pillars wi^ flutiugs in gold at the angle of each window, where behind the large clear sheets of olate glass we saw on one side what looked like an array of headless ghosts all out for .parade in the nobbiest suite of latest fashions mens' youths and boys, with a background will hardly be surpassed by any of our city establishments. Ten years ago Mr. Bichard- son built the store he has just vacated. It was then the best in the country â€" nothing in Markdale to equal it, â€" how, for our village soon outstripped that style of building may still be seen, and before half another decade passes we hope to see his last effort as far excelled here as his former essay was. PRESBYTEEIAN CONCEET. f The cencert held in Rae'e new hall on Friday evening last, under the auspices of the ladies of the Presby- terian church, was in every respect a success. This ha'l is located on the 8rd flat of Mr. Kae's new building, entrance at side, near rear end, and will seat about 200. The place was well filled and a very enjoyable evening was spent. Several amateurs appeared for their first time before a Markdale audience and equitted themselves in a creditable manner. Mr. F. Porter gave a recitation in a most able and masterly manner, while Mr. E. B. Currie appeared to advantage in song. Instrumental music and in recitmg. He is a whole team in himself. Mesisrs. A. Parks and Currie gave, on their violins an imitation of the "Highland Pipes" which was highly applauded. In fact all did well. The songs were of a suitbal character and well render- ed. The instrumental music some- what lively, arousing the murthful propensities of quite a number, while the Eeadings and Eecitations were such as are «eldom equalled. The following persons took part: Mr. CuKie, Mr. A.' jarks, Miss Katie McDuffie, Mrs. Trunble, Mr. W. A. Brown, Master A. Mofiafc, Miss Ellie Wilson, Mr. A. McFarland Miss Emma Damude, Mr- F. Porter and last but not least the audience saug "Auld Lang Syne" with great en- thusiasm. The receipts of the concert were over $31, while that of the dmnerand bazaar, which was held on the Agricultural grounds during the day, and which was also a success, amounted in all to $61, To the Editor of the Standard. Fort William, Oct.. 1st, 1884. Quite an exciting contest took place here Friday, the li^th ult., between your old townsman Mr. A, McDougall and Mr. Eobt. Dunbar of Winnipeg in a match for winner of four in seven games for fifty dollars a side. Mr. McDougall won five games without any training whatever, while his opponent has been putting himself to a lot of trouble the last two months training and trying to arrange a match. Mr. McDougall still retains his athletic abilities and did some bi" work, surprising the Port Arthur folks who turned out to see their man an easy winner. The games were won as follows â€" Standing jump â€" A. McDougal], 12 ft. 10| inches. E. Dunbar 11 ft. 9 inches. Three standing jumps â€" A. Mc- Dougall, 87 ft. 6 inches. E. Dunbar, 35 ft. 9 inches.

The ceiling is divided into five large panels, in the centre of each of which is a ' beautiful specimen of the moulder's art in plaster casts. The divisions are made by a projection in the ceiling, resting at each side on mouldett brackets placed on pillasters runnmg up the walls on each side. The floor has a rise of one foot in seventy-two, which has the effect of throwing the interior to better yiew from the entrance. At this dis- tance from the front there is a rise of four steps to the millineiy department, which is lighted from thoroof with spacious sky-li^^t. The cashier's desk is placed on the left side entering, about midway np the store. It communicates thro' an arched opening with the business offices.

The geconi annual show of the ab^e Agricultural Society was held at Holland Centre yesterday (Friday) The weather was very unfavorable,' the raiu poured irom early morninff until after noon. Notwithstanding this a goodly number turned out, and the exhibit, both in the haU and field was surprising both in extent and quahty.
