Tb« West end of onr ullage, across the railway track, is making lapid progress. First we have Irwiu McGaj's tannery, which will he in operation this month, and which fills a felt want. The proprietors are men •of capital as well as enterprise, and we can cheerfully recommend them to the confidence of the pablis. Then comes McNea's new plaining factory. This is a fine new building fifty feet square and two story high, hailt of frame and to he vaneered with brick. The machinery is new and of the mOat modern and latest imprOTed, 60 that it will be in adrance of any- thing yet in the dutrict. It will be reudy for operation about the 1st June. A few rods further west we have Armstrong's saw mill, which has been greatly enlarged and thoroughly fitted up with the very best machinery maaufactured. This mill i* in full blast, has a large stock of excellent logs and is doing splendid work. It is now cutting a large order for the Massie Manufacturing Co;, of Toronto, which will take a steady month to complete. Armstrong Bro's, the proprietor's, are young men of com- mendable push and enterprise. We wisii them unbounded success. Then comes Eitchie's Woollen factory, across the river, the steam whistle of which may be heard four times a day and a little further the two roller mills, which have a wide and enviable reputation both as superior flour mills and fair dealing on the part oi the proprietors Messrs. J. W. Ford and Angus Pie wet. We are glad to learn that a sidewalk is likely to be extended as far as Arm- strong's mill this season, the pro- prietors of both saw mill and plaining fuctory having decided to gcant material gratuitous assistance. We might have also noticed, in connection with west end enterprise, W. J. Howe's saw and grist mill, Orr's lime manu- factory, c.. c., but onr article is now sufficiently lengthy. ©arraspandanoB* Pnm ew mm eomtforndtm*. Mi.

Oolquet has commenead building on his town lot. BuiUmg operation* are quite brisk. Mr. James Freeborn haa leased his farm and moyed into our town. Mr. Andrew Crofford has a cow 18 years old which has had 18 calves a pair when two years old- and one each year since.. Putting up signs is all the rage here it's all right if they den' t get a racket on Hallow-E'en. Word has just reached us that on, Sunday night Peter Brace, son of James Bruce of this township, narrow^ ly escaped burning to death in Owen Sound, The building he occupied as a grocery store took firejwhile he and a shoemaker who roomed with him slept upstairs, Biruce jumped out- of a window in his night clothes and thus saved his life, while his un- fortunate room mate perished in the flames. Mr. Lyman Anderson has com- menced building his new shingle factory on the lot recently purchased from Mr. John Crowther. He has the boiler Ijud down and intends putting a lot of new machinery in.. He has also two comfortable dwelling houses about complete which adds much to that portion of the village. Eev. D, Perry has sold his horse, bflggy and harness and intends movius; to' Toronto after conference. His failing health compels him to super- anuate at least for a. time. Mr.. Stewart Doyle was thrown from a car while loading telegraph poles, he had his wiist put out of joint and otherwise shaken up, but is now able to about again. Notice. â€" We wish it distinctly anderstood that we do not hold ourselves responsible for thficpiniftns expressed by our correspondents To Vie Editor of the Standard. Deab Sir, â€" In your issue of the 2nd April a letter appears in reply to mine of the IStti March. I should not notice it further, were it not for Mr. Walker's insinuation that I col- lected and used for private purposes public money whieh was not nscessary to collect. IThe circumstances re- ferred to evidently is the Govern- ment Grant which was delayed at headquarters and did not come to Land for several months after jt should have been received and paid out, so that of course it could not be used for private or any other purpose as in- timated, while my re-election to office was conclusive evidence that I liad the cor.fidence of the school section. Yours truly, E. H. Stinson. ITIeatord Road. From our ovn Correspondent. Mr. W^. J. Cooey has rented Mr. Semuel Lacky's farm for a term of years. Mr. E. Brodie is farming the plaoe lately owned by Mr. Cooey. Mr. A. Johnston has the contract for delivering at the Flesherton cheese factory the milk from this route this year. Messrs. G. Warling and J. Brodie are at work framing Mr. J. I Graham's new barn. Mr. W. Gilbert is at work again. He says that he can just discern light with the eye that he got hurt. ' A portion of the flume of Mr. E. Davis' saw mill is down. This will cause a great loss to Messrs. Davis Anderson as the supply of water is greatest at this «eason of tlie year.

NEAKLY $200 J)00 WORTH OF PEOPEK TÂ¥ LICKED UP BY THE FLAMES. Hull, Que., May 9. â€" A disastrous fire visited this place last ni^jht. All the buildings OA the east side of Duke street and along one side of Philemon street are destroyed, as well as the new post-office on main street. The real value of the building destroyed is esti- mated at about §125,000. There are 110 buildings divided into 15.5 tenem ents, and in these probably 175 or 200 families resided. In the stores on main street a lot of etock was destroy- ed. The total loss may saiely be placed at §175,000 or §200,000 on which there is verv little insurance. â€" [World, THE LAST YEAB. 1888.
