There was a large crowd at the raising but none too many to piit it up. It took less than two hours to raise it. The captains were John McGarry on the north side and Kenny McLeod on the south. The latter had his plates up first but had to return and fix one of the splices and thus McGarry got ahead of him. Mr. McCarrol the con- tractor, his trainer, Mr. Jas. McCoy and assistants re to be heartily con- gratulated on the slick way everything went into its place. The construc- tion proper is 100 feet by 76 feet with swo wings and will be one of thefinest of its kind in the county. No Counterfeit Maple Sugar The practice of melting over old maple sugar and stirring in a little granulated sugar to give the product a little better color is frequently prac- tised a little later in the season each year by those who wish,to be first in the market with "new maple sugar." The last Legislature passed the follow- ing very strict law on thc subject : "No 38 of the public acts of 1883, approved Nov. 25, 1884, is hereby amended so as to read as fellows: Any person who shall adulterate maple sugar, maple syrup, or bees' honey, with cane sugar, glucose, or with any substance whatever for pur- pose of sale, or who knowingly sells maple sugar, maple syrup orbees' honey, that has been adulterated shall be punished by a fine of not less than $50, nor more than $200, for each offence ; and one half of such fine, on convic- tion, shall go to the complainant'', ishro.t.

Tar Without Feathers A man named Donald Nicholson, of the 3rd con. of Kinloss, a few miles north of this village, was taken from his bed on Monday night last by five or 6 men with blacked faces, Placing a ropearound his neck they dragged him out of the house to the bank of a creek, and after completely covering him from .head to foot with a coating of tar, they threw him into the water. Nicht•lson is accused of threshing his wife but such, conduct as that of Mon-, day night is a disgrace to any civilized community. The perpetrators are un- known. Life.on the Rail. Conductor W. K.

Magistrates Court, Mary Ann Nicholson charged her husband Douald Nicholson, 3rd con. of Kinloss with beating and otherwise abusing her, before justices Lawrence and Bryan on Wednesday afternoon. The accused presented a deplorable appearance, • with his , right arm in a sling and his face, head, hands and arms smeared with a copious coat of tar which had been applied to him on Monday 'night by a gang of "black caps". 'The first witness called was. the wife and informent, who contrary to usual rules was allowed the privilege of giving the defendant a summary trial or being sent up to Walkerton. Witness said that accused without cause or provocation caught her by the hair of the head and dragged her from the house, knocked her down and jumped on her breast. When she was released she went into the house to re- move what belonged to her and went upstairs, began sweeping but her hus- band came up, took the cloths and broom from her and struck her, when she came down stairs he took the child from her and put her out of the house. The latter part of her evidence was corroborated by Annie McKinnon. Other witnesses were called and gave evidence of an unimportant nature. In defence accused said the prosecutrix had fist threatened to set fire to the plo.ce.and when be esked her •to settle down/and attend to her own affairs, she struck him on the cheek with a stick. Ile denied dragging her out as she was already out, and was throw- ing stones when he went out and took' the stones from her and that ended it. The case stands adjourned until Pri- day. ss-'"Ssess•sostss----s-ss..sse. eese faetery will • the 16th of May. a ote:_opreearrtallte to dsa,ezest in McInnes. • H r We understan t ), the Sheriff has recommended to a% Government the • appointment of Mr. H.

The Ashfield circuit that gave their pastor Rev. R.T% Kenner and his family a right royal reception last July held its fourth quarterly meeting last Saturday and by unanimous resolution tendered an invitation for his return to the circuit next, year. A committee at the commencement of the year was appointed to see to the renovation of the parsonage prem- ises and an appropriation of about $126 made to meet expenses. The kitchen has been roofed; the garden newly fenced; the rooms a the parson- age whitened, papered, and new- ly • furnished with a large number of needed articles. The Sabbath school anniversaries of the year were well attended as the needed funds forth coming. Blake's appointment which needed a more suitable place in which to worship is to have a new church, the contracting let and nearly all of the contract price provided for by subscription. It is to be frame veniered with brick. In the fall six weeks special service were held at Hackett's and about 25 professed to find peace with God. At the com- mencement of the year a series of special services were held at • Hope appointment and over 50 came out in expression of having received good and desiring to lead a new life. Dur- ing the spring the pastor was laid up with a spell of sickness but the small hut noble band of local preachers kept the appointments supplied. At the last quarterly meeting on Saturday a balance on salaray was guaranteed as the schedale authorized to be filled. The missionary and educational funds the pastor reported as considerably in advance, and all the lesser funds ahead of last year. Death, removals and dropping of a considerable number that had long since ceased to fulfil the condition of „ membership has drawn heavily upon the list of member- ship, but as the quarterly religious services are well attended, and seasons of refreshing with the class meetings more numerously attended and these prayer meetings revived that had be- come defunct,. the circuit is hoping for better things.—Com. —A Nassagaweya farmer, who has several times lately brutally ill-treated hi a wife while drunk, was called upon on Monday evening by a dozen or so of his neighbors and given a.fine new suit of tar, and feathers.' He did not appre- ciape the gift but will perhaps. be a better husband in future. —Whenever a stranger calls at your door offering trinkets for sale, do not allow him inside. Many of these f1 - lows go about in this way only to study your premises, the entrance to houses, and the fastenings on doors and windows.

The Review says they are to have the orange walk, the orations, the beating 'of drums, the music of the fife, the blare of brass bands, lacrosse and foot -ball matches, water sports, exhibitionsOf water-workS excursions on the lake, and all the rest of it. —A brakem an named Andrews, while engaged in coupling cars Pith° G. T. R. yard at Brussels on Wednesday morn- ing of last week, had the misfortune to accidentally step into a cattle guard and in doing so he threw out his left arm to save himself and the moving trairipassed over it, severing it from the body.

A little salt rubbed on cups will take off tea stains.If Put in whitewash it will make it stick better, Used as a tooth powder it will " keep the teeth ,white and the gums soft and rosy. Salt and water is one of the best gargles for sore throat and is a preventative of diphtheria if taken in tirne. Salt and water will clean willoW furniture, if applied with a brush and then rut;bed dry. If held in the moyth after having a tooth ex- tnactedi it wilt stop the bleeding.
