A Bad -call

character often occur from habena
peels on the sidewalk and people should

peeling and narrowly escaped breaking
his arm. .*

Parting Shot
In taking leave of his readers, Mr.
Veksman,• who has ceased the publi-
cation of his newspaper at Windsor,
Ont., says: "To be a journalist in cer-
tain countries one would simply re-
quire to have no need fOr food, to be
able to sleep in the span air, and to
be clothed in the manner of father
Adarii."
Fruit Thieves
There is a general complaint
throughout the village concerning the
young thieves who make a practice of
despoiling orchards and robbing those
to whom the fruit belongs, and who
have spent much time and care over it,
The nuisance is growing to such
proportions that an example will be
quickly made if any of these boys are
recognized or caught.

Fatal Runaway •
On Thursday last Mr. George
Lawrence, of this village, had a
thrilling experience with a runaway
team and one that has cost him a
heavy financial loss. In driving
-through Ashfield he stopped in front.
of the farm of Mr..Murdock J. McKay
• who by the way is a brother Oddfellow
and has been on the sick list, to
enquire how he was, and, in leading
the team through the gate -way they
ranaway through the field. George
cin g to them . for a time, but was
finally thrown tothe ground and the
rig passed over him, fortunately, how-
ever, without doing him 'serious injury.
After circling . around the. field a
couple of times the maddened animals
dashed through the (=ate and down the
road about half- a 4:Hile. Here they
suddenly stopped and when Mr.
Lawrence arrived„ one of the animals
was lying dead on the read,_the neck -
yoke having penetrated its body over .
a foot in depth_ The buggy was also
a tota! wreck.
An Interesting Case
At the last sittings of the Division
Court here on Thursday, hist week, a
case came u which is of interest to a
good many in this county_ The Horne
Knowledge Aessociation_ of Toronto,
sued Mr. W. G. Duff, of this town, for
the amount of a note given for mem-
bership in this eo-Called eviation.
Mr. Dull resists the payment of the
note on the ground that the A.%ocia-
lion, if it has an existence at all.. did
not carry oat its contract, ban Mr. J1
M. Best, solicitor for the defence,
raised the ohtection that the Horse

son, of London, one of the sweetest of
our Canadian singers; Miss Corrigan,

land in uniform, and competitors

A Sunday Fir*
Our citizens were greatly startled
on Sunday afternoon last, by the cry
of fire. followed closely by the ringing
of the Methodist church bell and on
going out dense volumes of smoke
were seen rising from the residence of
Mr. T. W. Hildred, near the Presby-
terian church. A large crowd was
soon on the ground and the task of remov-
ing the furniture from the front part
of the house was onlyihe work ofa few
minutes, while in the meantime a
powerful stream of water was being
thrown into the burning building
at the rear from the hydrant near the
Temperance hall. Another line of
hose was quickly attached to the
hydrant in front of Mr. Alex. Lawson's
residence and for fully half an hour
the two streams were playing on the
building before the. smoke ceased
issuing from its roof. The fire had
gained great headway before it Wm*
discovered, and the blaze running up
between the ceiling and the roof of
the main buildi g, it was with the
utmost -difficulty it was extinguished.
In fact the whole building had to be
completely flooded. The fireman and
citizens worked well and thy prompt
manner in which engineer Douglas, of
the waterworks, answered the alarm
was indeed praiseworthy. Only a por-
tion of the building was destroyed and
which is fully covered by insurance,
but had it not been for the waterworks
many thousand dollars'. worth of pro-
perty would undoubtedly have fallen
victim to the flames. Messrs. Robt.
Moore, Calm Compbell, Kenny McLeod,
Frank [Gordon,- Robt. Mullin, Dave.
Loougheed, Wm. Small, Dave Law-
rence and Tom McLean, are all des -
serving of special mention for the way
they worked at the 'fire, and it would
be a very becoming and proper act on
behalf of the insurance company to
present each of them with a new suit
of clothes.
',VILLAGE COUNCIL
The revint meeting of the council
was held on Tuesday evening last
The principal business on hand was
the strinking of the rate for the pres-
ent year. The members of the council
were much disappointed at the amount
of assessment, which is much lower
than late previous years, being only
$244,090, while in 1886 it was $281,
857 a difference of $36,767, or nearly
31 lills on assessment to raise same
amount of money. The council there-
fore found it necessary to strick the
rate at 03 mills on the dollar in order
to make np the deficiency. The follow
ing report of the Finance committee
will give the ratepayers a very fair
idea of the extimated expenditure and
receipts for the year :-
