MARKDALE, OCT. 18. 1887 ASSESSING. its the be- A wave of public opision ia moving in iavor of assessing property to its cash'valae, and we think should be kept moving until it is a universal practice. Shelbume has raised its assessment and thus lowered the rate from 22 mills in 1886 to 10^ in 1887. "We hope to see every Municipality follow the example. â-  NOTE AND COMMENT. â€"The debt of the Dominioa de- creased $1,152,000 durmg the last month. â€"The first shipment of cattle from the ranches near Calgary passed through Winnipeg last Friday for the East. â€"The C. P. R. will be taxed t j utmost capicity in moving Manitoba grain east this season. â€" Telephone communication tweeu Ottawa and Montreal, a distance of 120 miles, was opened on Satnrday. â€" Edward Graham, Toronto, who threw vitrol in the face of Louis Sievert, has been sentenced to im' prisonmeut for life. â€" Her Majesty has conferred the honour of knighthood upon Chief Justice Wilson of the Court- of Queen's Bench of Ontario. â€" A party of Government engineers are taking soundings and making borings for the purpose of locating the most fayorable entrance to the propos- ed Sault Ste. Marie Canal. â€" The writ for an election to fill the vacancy in West Bruce caused by Mr. Blake's retirement has been is- sued. Nominations will be held on the 19th instant and polling on the 26th. â€"A subsidy has been given by the British Government to the C. P. R.. for the conveyance of mails to Japan and Houg-Eong. At one time it was thought that the thing would fall through on account of the increasincfly hostile character of the Canadian tariff to all British commercial interests. Second thoughts, however, have led to the conclusion that it would upon the whole be better for Imperial in- terests that the subsidy in question should be granted, and time will show that second thoughts are generally best, and in this case decidedly so. Tha likelihoods of the C. P. R. ever paying as a commercial enterprise are in the last degree Klim, but of its usefulness eventually for Imperial purposes there can bo little doubt. TraTeraton. Our Mayor, held a reception on Saturday. Mr. D. Sweeny, of Thessalou, paid a visit here laat week. Mr. John Hunt and Mr. Edwin JHuut are attending the Walkerton fair. Our village is gaining notoriety from ilte excellence of its horseflesh, one of the best animals however left one day last week in a trade, we have no doubt that it has been replaced by a better at least one person thinks so, that is his former owner who is desir- ous of getting it back. We await the result with breathless interest. Holland Centre. Form a Corretpondtmt, Another attempt of robbery in oar village took place last Sunday in broad dayliglit.

We must bay they were bold to make such mid-day. an attempt about Fleslierton. From our own correspondent. Monday last, fair day here, the tendency in prices were upward, a good number of young cattle were sold at good figures. Flesherton is again supplied with a first class barber who has come to stay in the person of Mr. Booth who has opened out and fitted up very tasty, a hair cutting and shaving parlor next door to W. Trimble's store. Mr. Booth also purposes opening an Oyster de- pot at an early date. Business appears quite brisk in every line here, an immense quantity of grain is being marketed and farmers from fifteen to twenty miles distant are heard speaking iu the highest terms of praise, and satisfaction with this market. We have been informed by M. Richardson Co., that on Saturday last they bought and had delivered 2218 bushels of grain and up to that date had bought this fall 17,120 bushels, besides what has been bought by Mr. Hogg who is also on this market. This augurs welt for this market. J. B. Watson, Esq., The talented young Canadian Orator and Humorist will deliver his popular and attractive lecture, "The Eleventh command- ment or mind your own business" on Friday evening next m this village under the auspices of the L. A. A., of the Presbyterian church here. Another daring burglary was com- mitted in our village on Friday liight last. The jewelry store of J. G. Russell, Esq., was broken into during the nigbt. The front door being forced opened and several watches a quantity of knives, razera and other jewelry taken. It is thought the plunderers were disturbed before through with all they intended to do, as eome valuable goods were left lying close to those taken J Mr. Russell's loss will be about $100. Our enterprising citizen C. J. Leitch "Tailor," has decided upon buildmg' at an early date a shop and dwelling on his magnificent site on Coilingwood and Peter street opposite the medical Hall. J. E. Moore, Esq., Furniture deal- er, is opening out in the Undertaking line here. WHAT AM I TO DO. The symptoms of Bi'ioasness are unhappi ly but too well known. They difter in different individuals to some extent. A Bilious man is seldom n breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent appetite for Uquids but ncne for solids of a morning. His tongue Will hardly bear in- spection at any time if it is not white and nrred, it is rough, at all events. The digestive system is wholly out of order and Diarrhea or Constipation may be asymp- torn or the two may alternate. There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddiness and often headache ana acidity -or flatulence and tenderness in the pit of the stomach. To correct all this if not effect a cure try Green's August Flower, it cost but a trifle and thousands attest its efficacy. CLIPPINGS. While Mr. Wm. Middangh of Melancthon was drawing a loadof hy along the back line near Corbettou last week, one of bis horsieB stepped on a burning stick by the roadside where bush fires were raging, and turning quickly, upset the hay into the fire and it was burned up. â€" fDundalk Harold.
