'At th Cortiors" one hundred men gathered to form a Home Guard. Such a gathering at that time, when Ashtield. and Wawanosh were but thinly populated, meant a great deal for it showed that the residents within long distances of the village must have turned out to defend their birthright from the pollution of the Fenian gang. The hotel at the corners was kept by Mr. John McCrosty, a thorough loyal- ist. The owner cloeed the bar and was abut up as anon ae the volunteers began to assemble and when they formed up he toldthemthat there was to be no treating that day as they had other work to do, but that he wou!d eupply as much liquor as he theught they neeaed free of charge, and he did it, Ithappenedehat there was but little food in the place, but mine host, who did nothing II ha!ves, sent int3 Luc's- now, be tight the neccesary amount, and ied the hundred while the alarm lasted. The weapons of the Belfast guard were not what would be *Called of precision these days, but they answered the purpose then. There were a few Queen Anne Rifles many shot guns, and pitchfot ks of all shapes and sizes. An old nran in the hundred who could not muster a musket or a shotgun, refused to carry the centurion pitchfork, so cut down an immense olue beech stick over nine feet long ani every time the guard formed up the blue, beach stick was the most prominent feature in the guard. Most of tfrose who answered to their. countrie's call at PeLfast have passed where war's alarms are not heard, but oftentimee when around the Fre on winter nights are these tales of Ash.. field's and Wawanosh's pioneers retold and the re-telliog sheds a halo of glory around the path of many Huronites who Lave ceased from worldly. strife. In connection with late wars and pro:ninently at the recent peace con - gree, people weretalking about the Redqtruse brigade as though it was a plan for helping the wounded, only rect-ntiv introduced, whereas the sys- tein ha e been partially in force for newly half a century.

M.V.:KeNZIE, 1.3•rvie, On VOL XXVI-42 TR* LIBERTY TO UTTR AND TO ARGUS FREELY ACCORDING TO THR DICTATES OF CONSCIENCE WE PRIER asovit ALL OTHER LIBIRTIE8 r Lucknow, October 20th, MO In 1898 there were !cut at see no. fewer than 1141 veisels, of which 322. were steamers and 819 sailing craft.' Of these 137 steamers and 387 sailing were wrecked; 96 were abandoned at sea; 90 were lest by collisions. 25 were burned; and 24 steamers and 79 sail- ing craft just disaapeard and never heard of again. The losses of the year amount to nearly four per cent. of the world's tonnage. It is estimated that there are one million acre3 of peat bog in Ontario alone, varying in depth from one to forty feet. The cost of manufacture for fule is about sixty cents per ton The peat is cut and dried in the air e then pulverized, passed through a picker then to a hopper, which auto maticaily feeds into a two inch steel pipe 15 inches long. The pulverized peat is forced through this tube .by reseure and formed by dies three nches long which are almost as dense as antracite coal. It weighs 83 ounds per cubic foot, weighing ten ounds less then 'antracite coal and eing ten pounds heavier then bitu:ni- us coat. As the supply of pulp wood ecreaaes, anxiety arises, as to what ill take the place in the manufacture f paper. According to recent heves- igations there need be no alarm, as a reat discovery has been made showing hat paper.in all grades can be made rom peat. Throughout Canada 'and ie rnited Stater' there vast deposites f•peat that will yet prove valuable. he process of making paper from eat has been SO perfected that paper f every veriety, weight and quality is roduced, while the strength and urability of sush, is quite equal to at of paper made from any kind of egetable pulp. Already there are operation several factories in Europe hich are producing large quantities all kinds of paper from this meter- ! and which have proved highly ofitable. p ti th in . w of ia pr PRIZE LIST ••••••••••• OF DUNGANNON FALI.

He is said to have been the victim of a murderous attack by two ex -convicts whom he had offended at the trial by stating that he knew both of them and their record. That night they attacked him while he was 'asleep. His throat' was slashed, but after a desperate struggle the men were separated and his life was safe for time. The next day he dissapear- ed, and with him about *1000 in gold dust, and has eot been seen since. W. Giles, a returning miner, says that he is thought to have been pushed over one of the precipices of that rugged country. McPherson was well known both here and on the Island, having come to the coast in the early days ef the history of the Province. Chief of Police Stewart, when inter- viewed stated that he had long; known the missing man and had heard a rumour of this story, but as yet no further or corroborating details has been received at his office.e above jh is taken from "The Vancover World,', of September 23th, and ors to a brother of Captain John McPherson, of Kincardine, and brother-in-law to Mr. John McDougall, of the 2nd con- cession of Kinloss.

A Rise in Stoves Ever since the rise in stoves and furnaces a few months ago, the situa- tion has hem a decidedly one, for not only has the cost of raw materials steadily increased, but the various manufacturers have been unequal to the task of supplying the demand. This condition of affairs has lead to another advance of five per cent in the price of lames, registere, furnaces, and hollow ware. This advanue went in- to effect on Monday, is the thiad ad- vance in the course of a year. Ac- companing the announcement of the advance is a statement to the effect that the maaufacturers cannot under- take to accept auy ordern for delivery after the 31st of December 1899, nor s Caah. $0 72 1-8 York 0 76 7-8 071 44' 0 70 5-8 0 71 1 2 '1' -1-•4 073 3-# - WHOLE NO. 1342. can they accept any orders unless same are specified.

Dear Mr. Editor, I have been asked since corning, home how the Crofter live in the highlands of Scotland. They have better times than in the past. Plenty to eat and Scotch whiskey to drink. At one wharf I counted over forty Women engaged in Cleaning fish, the wages earned being from fifty cents to one dollar and a half per day.- I have beenin communication with Mr. John 3ilacBain, who was disippointed at our failing to meet. He wished to be kindly remembered to all his old friends, and as most of them are, no doubt, among your subricribers, I thought your paper was the most convenient way of conveying his wish. Perhaps I can give other Scotch news at a later date. D. MuacmtsoN. AUCTION SALES ••••,, 4.ms Mr. John Purvis, auctioneer, will etend the following auction sales at the time and places named. Jas.
