Fire. â€" On Monday night, 23rd July, the barn and contents of Mr. John English, Glenelg, was destroyed by fire* There was in the bam some fifteen tons of hay together with the implements and machinery of the farm, altogether valued at $1,400, insured for $900. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Changed Hands. â€" Mr. A. R. Fawcett, of the Flesherton Adyance, has sold his newspaper business to Mr. W. H. Thurs- ton, late of the Toronto World, and formerlv of the late Owen Sound Tri- bune. We wish Mr. T. prosperity in his new venture, and will be pleased to learn of Mr. Fawcett's success wherever he may "pitch his tent." Markdale supports two barbers, and still their trade increases. Why is this thus Well, in the first place the town is growing, and then the young men of the surrounding district are becoming more tasty in their appearance, and drop in on Saturday for a clean shave, a shampoo and hair cut. for Sunday. That's right have some style about you. Work the Hens are Doing. â€" A few days ago a number of Ontario egg deal- ers met in Stratford, and compared notes with regard to last year's purchases, and found the total to represent 72,200,- 000 dozens, representing a value of more than $1,000,000, paid out by them to egg producers. The importance of the industry may be inferred. The great bulk of these eggs were imported to the States. We have received two communica- tions bearing on the imported horse af- fair which is being ventilated through the columns of the Standard one in the shape of a testimony as to the merits of one of the animals, and the other tak- ing umbrage against certain of the par- ties for betting, being professed christi- ans and members of the church. We decline to pubhsh either over a nom de plume. An exchange pertly says: "A per- nicious and most unreasonable habit is very common in country villages, yiz. â€" keeping poultry and allowing them to roam at will and destroy the gardens of surrounding neighbors. Those who do so are glaringly unreasonable and totally void of respect for the feeUngs of their neighbors." We may add that many appear to have as little control of their children as their hens. Virtue in its grandest aspect is neith- er more nor less than following reason Oood temper, like a sunny day, sheds a brightness over everything. It is the sweetner of toil and the soother of dis- quietude. Every point in which a man excels, every virtue which he cherishes, every good habit which he acquires, every beauty of spirit to which he at- tains, will make his friendship purer, stronger, and better worth having. The Truth of the Case. â€" Hon. Peter Cooper, the philanthropist, once said â€" "In all towns where a newspaper is pub- lished, every man should adyertise in it, even if nothing more than a card stating his name and the business he is engaged in. It not only pays the advertiser, but it lets people at a distance know that the town you live in is a prosperous community of business men. As the seed Is sown so the fruit recompenses. Never pull down your sign while you expect to do business, for it often indi- cates that business is poor and yon are losing your grip commeroiallv speaking. The judidotis advertiser vrffl xiBceitre in return ten doUazs for «v«ry ote invested in tbe aAamm of • Vtf^memtpKpet, The Crops. â€" The long looked for and much needed rain came last week in sufici^nt quantities to completely change the aspect of the country. Hay was about all saved previously, in excel- lent order, and a muoh better yield than was generally expected at the com- mencement of haying. Other crops are now making marked improvement and a good ayeraige crop is assured all round. This is a most pleasing state of affairs, coming so soon after weeks of great anxiety caused by the prolonged drought. Sad and Fatal Accideitt. â€" On Friday last while Michael Sweeney, of Glenelg, a young man of about 32 years, was driving on a load of hay under a leaning tree a branch cauf^ht him throw- ing him off the load he received in- juries of the spine from which he ex- pired the following day. Another Fatal Accident. â€" Mr. John Shaw, of the 9th line Euphrasia, was assisting at a rairing on the farm of S. Gilmore on Saturday last, and fell from a beam some twenty feet striking on the sill and injuring his spine between the shoulders. He suffered considerably but continued conscious until Monday afternoon when death ended his suffer- ings. Mr. Shaw was a single man of 41 years, very stout, weighing 228 lbs., and highly respected.- A gloom is cast over the whole neighborhood. His body was taken on Tuesday by rail to Melville, near Orangeyille for interment. This is the fifth death by accident within five lots in six years. Still Another.-â€" On Tuesday last a peculiar and fatal accident occurred a mile and a half from Markdale, in Eu- phrasia. Mr. and Mrs, Walter Douglas left home about nine o'clock a. m. with The prize I'st for Glenelg Agricultural Society's Fall Show is now. being print- ed and vvill be ready for distribution early next week. We have already a respectable list of special prizes, but arc anxious to stiU further swell that de- partment. Any who would like to con- tribute are liereby invited to do so before Saturday evening next either at this office or to the Secretary, Wm. Haskett. A Healthful Drink. â€" Buttermilk is one of the most healthful of summer drinks. Among its beneficial effects^ particular stress is laid upon its power to clear the system of unwholesome im- purities which clog and poison it during the enervating season. Hall's Journal of Health says "It should be freely used by all who can get it. Every one who values good health should drink buttermilk every day in warm weather and let tea, coffee, etc., alone." Eor the benefit of those who are not aware of it, it adds that in the churning the first process of digestion is gone throush, making it one of the easiest and quickest of all things to digest. It makes gastric juice, and contains properties that read- ily assimilate vrith it, with very Uttle w^ear upon the digestive organs. Bear Scare. â€" About ten o'clock on Sunday morning last a bear was seen in Wm. Douglas' field, adjoing the village and the alarm given, when a number of our "nimrods" shouldered their shooting irons and hastened for a chase. After an exciting run for a mile north-east they are said to have quenched their ^thirst by a draught of whey at Elliott's cheese factory, and renewed the hunt. Two of the boys got within fifty yards of his bearship and opened fire, but, to their great chagrin, their gun was with- out a cap, neither had they brought any along. They longed for an Anarchist's instructions to their eldest son, Albert, boom from Chicago, which they could 11 years old, to unharness the horses, easily have thrown above distance and which were in the stable, and if he j thus slain the enemv. but bruin escaped The party returned with sad wished, could let them out to pasture. About noon the other children went out to look for him, as he did not come in to dinner. They went in the direction of the pasture where they supposed he had gone to put the cows and horses Qut, and. found his dead body some 20 rods from the barn. Dr. Sproule was sent for and examined the body, not finding any marks which would cause death. The horse was found in the pasture With halter on and it is supposed the boy had gone to driye the cows to pasture riding on the horse as he had been accustomed to do, and that by some means he was thrown from the horse, the fall killing him. It is a yery sad stroke for the parents, who have the sympathy of the community. An Illinois farmer who has tried it for years and neyer known it to fail, furn- ishes this receipt for a solution to destroy the Colorado beetle or potato bug Take three pounds of hme, slake, and add six to eight gallons of water, and a table- spoonful of concentrated lye. Mix all together, and apply to the vines with a common sprinkler. It will work like a charm, one or two appUcations com- pletely ridding the patch of the beetles and larvse. This is a cheap and safe remedy and, if effectual, must be far preferable to Paris green or London purple. Gabden Social. â€" The young people in connection vrith the Presbyterian church assisted by friends of the other churches here, are making all necessary prepara- tions for the garden social to be held on the grounds Of Mr. .Joseph Fanning, near Holland Centre, on the 7th of August. The committee is bound to make this social a success. The following ladiea and gentlemen have kindly consented to take part in the programme Dr. Sproule, M. P., chairman, Mr. Anderson and daughter. Miss Dundas and Mr. Benson, all of Markdale, also Miss Might, Owen Sound, and Mr. Wm. Ferguson, Ohatsworth. Chatsworth brass band is also to be present.
