Until two months ^o two respectable bnt slow-going weeklies "held the fort" at the county town. Now we see the semi-weekly Advertiser, the triweekly and weekly San, and the daily and weekly Times, each bright, newsy and attractive. If the town does not rapidly develop into a city it will not be for want of lively Times, a brilli- ant Sun and Liberal Advertiser-s. To give a brilliant white light, a lamp needs a thorough cleansing every little while. The oil shoald be poured out of the fount, leaving no dregs on the bot- tom. The fount should then be washed in strong soap suds, rinsed -in warm water, and dried. It should then be fill- ed with fresh oil. The burner shonld be I boiled in soda and water until the net- work that crosses it is freed from dirt and dust. If tlie wick has become clogg- ed witli the sediment, replace it with a new cue. I. O.

An American merchant gives his views as to the 2»roper way of sweeping a store, which we commend to the attention of merchants hereabout "We don't use a leaky ol»l RirinUIing pot to sop the floor all over in jmddles when wo sweep. No, sir W'c have wet sawdust, and I put a row of it across one cud of the store and sweep that riybt along to the other end, just like a regiment marching across a ten acre field. It catches all the dirt aritl carries it along. If it gets a little dry I add some more. Some folks scatter sawdust all over the floor, but that's no t;()o.l th..^ reason for using sawdust is to avoid wi tting the floor all over and to have something thaUwill absorb the dust.

A Red Rogue Captured. On Monday last Messrs. Wm. and B. B. Currie, egg dealers of Mt. Forest and Markdale respectively, and Wm. JaeksoB, implement agent, of this place, shouldered their shooting ir3n6, and taking along a trio of dogs, struck out lor a hunt. They viewed verdant fields and naked forest bnt game was beautifully scarce. At length the bounds gave tongue and the marks- men took position expecting a rabbit or perchance a deer to presently put in an appearance. Another moment and a large red fox eame boauding along straight for where Wm. Curry stood. A tree hhidered his taking aim until it was a few yards off when he opened fire, but the wily animal dodged the change. Tbe gun was a dodUe shooter and Bill qaekly empti- ed tlie ieeond elMtmber, this time breaking a left. Tbia didn't stop the progress of sir Ttrjntti by any means for )(fl kept right on and Jaeboo nave him • charge bat it was not nntil Bob. Gnnie had a crack at him that be lay down eoiiqiit-red.

Combined Wire and Board j Fence. j (1) For many years after the old rail fences began to give out. boards and posts were the principal fence used here. At that time common lumber could be bought for about §8 per M, and a fence of font hoard? high cost about §1 per rod. Now such a fence would cost all told about §1 40. Some years ago I built a fence of posts and rails, wliich I have found very good. Posts ten feet apart, six rails, and a barbed wire ou the top. If any one has old rails that can be used, be will find this one of the cheapest and safest fences he can put up, but be sure and keep the wire low enough to prevent the stock getting their hoads between tbe top rail and it. Tlie cost of this fence would depend on the value of the old rails ami price of poi-ts, whicli every one would have to jnilgo Some two years ago I built part of VU I fl IJ [1 W ATf R a lane fence in the f .llowhig way, and |i B |1 U txWU 1 1 tl I blls am Bowell pleased with it that 1 in- tend to do more of it wliere ueeucJ. I set the posts eight feet apart, put a board 1 x 12 in. x Ki ft. at the bott ni ard one board 1 x G in. x Ki ft., three feet from the gioniid to biltuin of tlie board, three barbed wir.'S between the two boards, and one about ton ini n s above the top on.-. Tins makes a cheap, Eafe l-nce. lings will iintg*. through, cattle and horses can sec it, and there is but little danger of stock getting hurt on it. .\boiit the c .st per rod or say 16 ft. 2 p ists at lOc, 20c.; digging holes and sotting posts, 5c. each, 10c 21 ft. of lumber, at §15 per M, 3Gc- about say 5 lbs. wire, at 6c., 8oc. labor of putting up, and nails, say 10c. iot.il jior 10 ft., §1.00 I have put the p'ice of ma'ei. il at about what t'ley cost here, but this will vary in other districts to piilior more or less.
