NAnnow EscAPE: — Lest Wednesday
evening the residence of Mr; Wm. Marten
had a very narrow escape from destruction
byftre. Mrs. Marten was at church, and.
Mr. Marten was attending tp his horses, ,
when a large lamp that had been left
burning in the house, exploded. The oil-
took fire and. quickly ignited the carpet,
table cloth; -table and other like articles
in the room, and must have been burning
for some time, for when Mr: Marten open-
ed the door to enter he was inet bya cloud
of smoke, ` and flames• burst forth, but
quickly realizing the situation, he made
his .way into' the room, and by consider-
able exertion, 'succeeded in extinguishing
the flames; , So great had been the heat

REMOVAL.—Messrs. W.Taylor'& Son
have removed into their new !premises in
Coats' block, and have .certainly one of
the finest boot and -shoe stores to be found
in Western Ontario.
A TRAVEr¢ER last iveek stated that the

any other town in Canada. Flattering,
ars well as correct:

NOT TRUE. -A report having got circu-
lated to the effect that there was a case of
small pox in town, our reporter made in-
quiries among the medical men,. and found
that, so far as they were aware, there was
no foundation whatever for the report.
FAn.i SOLD.—Mr. W. Wadehas sold
his farm of 116 acres, on the Base Line, a
short distance from town, for the stun of
$9,200. Mr. J. Stevens; of Colborne, is
the -.purchaser._ -`The buildings oh the
place are poor, but, the farm is;a good one
and worth the money.
Mit. A. J. PAY, who has for sometime
filled the position' of bopk-keeper in the
store of Mr. S. Davis, gives up his posi-

the northwest. 'Bert'is a first-rate fellow,
and will be missed among his associates.
We wish him the realization Of all his an-
