It will be remembered that Mr. Hicks lost Ms barn by fire last September, and the new one is being erected on the same site, Messrs. Herb Mitchell and Rich. Elston were chosen to command the wild warriors who had assembled to raise the building. The detachment headed by Herb Mitchell, preyed to be the victorious party and scarcely was there a rafter drawn by Richard's men when Herbs men had adjourned to the house and were participating in the choice spread, prepared 'for the oceas- sion. Mr. Geo. Holtzman was the framer and the manner in which the timbers went together is sufficient' proof of his mechanical abilities. Well Richard "If at first you don't succeed try again." Hurondale Mr. McKay, a former teacher in this section is visiting in this neighborhood with his two little girls. -Operations are in progress on the school, it is be- ing raised on props preparatory to hav- ing a brick basement placed under- neath it. It will very much improve the former dilapidated appearance. - The quarterly meeting will be held in the church on Sunday next when Rev. H. W. Locke will preach. It is hoped all will profit by the pointed remarks that fell from Rev.

Fire Bug At Lucan. Lucan, Ont., July 22. -The last of Stanley & Dight's grain warehouses were burned at 11 o'clock to -night, to- gether with three cars of wheat and three cars of oats. The building was undoubtedly set on fire wilfully by a. man who was seen in the vicinity of the building a few minutes before the alarm was given. A. McGillivray, a farmer, while passing the warehouse about 10.30, on his way home, claims to have seen the incendiary touch the match to the west end of the building, Immediately the flames burst forth into his face and staggered him for a mom- ent, giving the farmer a good view of his face. He claims he can recognize he firebug and will do so. Warrants. are being issued and something sensa- tional is sure to follow, which will probably explain the origin of the many previous fires which have taken place here during the past two years. Jno, Williams, a colored man, aged 40 years, married, was arrested Tues- day. Andrew Patton, the McGillvray farmer who was passing the buildings and who claimed to be able to identify the fire -bug, was taken to Williams' house, while the fire was yet in prog- ress, and positively identified Williams as the man he saw setting the fire, Ap parently Williams was quite surprised when Constable Perely placed him un- der arrest, and cracked a few jokes over the mistake they - were making, He was brought before Reeve Armit- age and Jas. B. McKillop, Deputy 'Crown Attorney, of London, at 3 p. m. to -day. Andrew Patton, the farmer, swore that Williams was the man he saw fire the building. He was taken to London to await the Fall Assizes, TIIERE ARE SUITS Alib Bathing Suits. On the contrary are "in it." water don't hurt them, our suits be suited at J. H.���:.. .. Ov�� 6��'C�'lant.

Any ono familiar with the great tests between the breeds held at Chicago, from May 12th to Oct, 20th,1893, will bear testimony to their thoroughness, their impartiality and the grand work that was accomplished in .the interest of dairy science. These tests gave to the .cows and breeds partcipating there- in an opportunity to demonstrate their dairy characteristics. They were not 'tests of a few days or a week, but so prolonged that they exhibited to public scrutiny the staying qualities of the cows and breeds. This feature cannot be too strongly commended, as the prac- tical dairyman is not keeping cows for, what they are capable of doing throiigh- out the whole year, under rational feeding, and what the "net profit" is which theywill place to the credit of hisbank account. The latter element was essentially the crucial one of the tests, as all the decisions were based on the cows and breeds "showing the greatest net profit. The cows and breeds were credited with their pro- ducts and debited with their feed. .The former consisted in Test No, 1, of cheese the price of which was fixed according to the scoring of same (which AO done by experts appointed by Chief Buchan an) of whey, at the rate of 8 cents per hundred pounds, and of the increase in live weight, at 4 cents per pound; in Test N. 2, of the butter, at a price fixed by the scoring of same by the same experts as in the cbeese test, of solids other than butter fat, at $2 per 100 lbs., and of increase in live weight; in test No. 3, of butter alone. .4 strict account was kept of all the feed, which was charged at a schedule price fixed by Chief Buchanan, with the consent of the representatives of the breeds prior to the tests beginning, and could only be fed in the presence of a representative of the 'besting Commit- tee. Columbip.n Guards were stationed in the barns day and night, to see that Oto feed was given the cows except in the presence of the representatives of the Testing Committee. It. will thus be seen that every fea- ture of dairying formed a factor in .these tests; quantity of milk in Test No. 1; through the whey and cheese; quantityof milk in Test No. 2, through the solids -other than butter fat, and butter in Tests Nos. 2 and 3 A sample of the milk of each cow and the *nixed milk of the herd's were taken daily, ani analyzed by a competent stair' of chemists, under the direct con- trol of Prof, E. H. Farrington, of Illinois and a determination of the fate in the milk was made by the Babcock oil test each day, and each cow credited, with her proper proportion of the products. The milk was crea med, and the cream churned in the dairy, under the immed- iate and personal supervision of Prof. S. M. Babcock or I. P. Roberts, two mem- bers of the Testing Committee. In scoring the butter and cheese; the expert judges had no means of identify- ing the package they were examining. After marking their scores, they trans- mitted the packages to Chief Buchanan who. after examining same, removed the names of the scorers and transmit ted the packages to the Testing Com- mittee, who entered the scores, taking the average of the three experts. The Testing Committee consisted of the following professors, representing the Association of the Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations: Prof. M. A. Scovell, Kentucky Experiment Station, Chairman: Prof. I. P. Roberts, Cornell University; Prof. S. M. Babcock, Wisconsin Experiment Stations; Prof. H. P. Armsby, State College, Pa.; Sup- erintendents H. H. Hinds, representing the American Guernsey Cattle Club, and V. E. Fuller,representing the Amer- ican Jersey' Cattle club. Meetings of the testing Committee were held daily. The high character of the gentlemen representing the Association of Agri• cultural Colleges and Experiment Sta-, tions, their well-known ability and pro• bity, testify to the disinterested char• acter of the work performed in the tests, Their knowledge of the subject. war- ranted scientific application when such was advisable, coupled with practieal deductions, so that the tests satisfied both the scientific and practical views of dairying. Ail the members of the committee were throughout fair and im- partial, and were actuated by the sole desire to have the rules carried out and justice done to all breeds. These tests were the most prolonged, the most thorough, the most fair and impartial that have ever been held in the world or are likely to be for many years to come. They cost the World's Columbian Exposition $73,000. They settled more points in dairying than have ever been settled before. They brought to light the merits, the strong and weak points of the breeds. and in doing so demonstrated that the Jersey cow is the greatest of all dairy cows. Goderich: About two weeks ago, John Manson, eldest son of Town Clerk Mitchell, returned from Cleveland, where he had been living fortwo or. three years Be was suffering from lead poisoning and painter's colic, and came home with the expectation of recovery to health, This was ap- parently being realized, and Sunday he walked as far as the Harbor Park; but soon after dangerous symptoms manifested themselves and on Monday w morning he died, fs Clinton: All the members of t Collegiate:staff have been re-engag for the ensuing term Mr, Rand, who re-engagement will be before the boar this evening, it is expected, Zurich: .Mr. H.. liowald and Miss Mary Flaxbard, both of the 14th con- cession of Hay, last week joined hands in holy matrimony. We wish the couple a happy life .together. Clinton: Mr. Peter Perdue is the in- ventor of a plow attachment, by which straw, etc., is removed from the mould- board, and the plow is kept from chok- ing, 'It has been thoroughly tested and is said to be a good invention, being under easy control of the plow- man. He is getting it patented, and already has offers for its purchase. Granton: Robert Anderson, died on Sunday. The deceased was about 68 years of age, and has been a resident of the village about fifteen years, prior to,wliich he lived on the south boun- dary of Biddulph. Some ten years ago he sold his farm to his next • neighbor, Richard Jackson. A son, Robert John, of London, and a.- daughter, Maggie (Mrs. 1latpiffe,) survive him, The daughter, who is a widow, owns the property in the village. Tuckersmith: From the Tucker - smith voters' list for 1895 we learn that in the township there are altoget- her 878 voters, as against 861 for 1895. These are divided as follows: Persons entitled to vote at both municipal elec tions and elections to Legislative As- sembly, 675; persons entitled to vote at municipal elections only, 110; persons entitled to vote at elections to the Leg- islative Assembly only 93. The total number of person eligible to serve as jurors is 482. Kippen: Mr. Searfield, who is in the employ of Mr. R. Kettle, passed through a very unpleasant experience on Sat- urday, while engaged in drawing in hay, and It is a wonder it was not a fatal accident. He was in the act of putting the lines on the cross stick in the front end of the rack, when the pole broke, landing Mr. Searfield onto the horses' heels, which caused them to run away with him in that perilous position. He could not free himself, but, happily, the horses were brought to a standstill, and Mr. Searfield relieved without any broken bones, He is suffering, however, from bruises and a a sore back, which is keeping him in his bed. he I s Add/tit/nal LOoals. ed, ---- se J The Clinton News Record says: -In d a quiet way an investigation, has been going on here fpr some time which we are pleased to learn resulted satisfact- ory and proved that the serious charge was not well founded. It seems a resi- dent imagined a murder had been gem. mitted in Clinton within the past year or so and communicated with one of the leading criminal detectives in Out.. and for a time a most startling sensat- ion seemed to be looming up. It has been determieed after a most thorough and searching investigation that there was no cause for alarm, as death en- sued from Irene other than natural causes, Gunton: ,A certain residence in town recently had a remarkably narrow es- cape from destruction by fire. The family had started for churchin the evening, closing up the house. -Going back for something, the head of the house lit a match, and after looking for what he wanted, threw the match in the woodbox. He then re -locked the house, and started on his way to the church. A few minutes after, another member of the family insisted on his going back for something else, and it was fortunate that he did, as the wood box and surroundings were all ablaze. Goderich: On Monday an explosion occurred in a machine shop at Parry Sound, in which Chas. Jefferson, engin- eer, was mortally injured, A cylinder was being heated, when it suddenly exploded with terrific force. It was found that it contained water, unknown to the workmen. Part of the end of the building was blown out. Jefferson received, internal injuries, fromlwhich he died three hours afterwards. Alex. Adaid was cut in face and head. John Wood was slightly cut, and one other slightly hurt. Jefferson belonged to Goderich and his body was taken there on Wednesday. He was a son-in-law of Mr. John Hillie, and had only been married a year and four days. Great sympathy is felt for the young widow, who left home a year ago a happy bride. St. Marys: On Saturday Edward. Leeming, a young English emigrant aged 19 years was brought before May- or Moscrip, charged with the crime of rape upon the little four year old daughter of Mr. Charles Hyde who re- sides in Blanchard, neat~ Kirkton. rhe young man charged has been for the past four months in the employ of Mr. Hyde, is rather an intelligent looking fellow and not at all a young man who would from appearance be judged guilty of such a grave offence. The evidence of Dr. Ferguson of Kirkton and others was taken and was considered sufficient however to warrant his being commit - ed for trial at the next assizes if he does not previously elect to be tried be- fore a judge. He was taken on Satur- day to Stratford jail. Mr. D. W. Jam- eson, St. Marys, prosecuted. Blaashard: What might have prov- ed to be a serious accident oceured re- cently to Master Fred Finn, a boy of twelve summers. It appears Master Fred, together with Willie Henderson and Ernest Wilson, were spending part of their summer holidays with their re- latives and unfortunately for Freddie he mounted an old hammock which had been under the tender mercies of the weatheryfor some time, when his two companions seized the ropes and began swinging with all their force when suddenly one of the ropes gave away participating Master Fred to ground with a crash. It was first thought the fall whould .prove serious but as he was picked up by his two companions there could be seen a smile on his faee hich seemed to say. Boys!

Dennis, Munroe, Hern, The hurdle race was evidently a "tie" all round, A11 started in to win, but the hurdles were "all down" before the last man reached them. Several in the audience were heard to say that Ed. Treble cleared them. all, Maud Thorne had to take second place in the Open Trot owing' to a foul she made in running past Lady Jane. You cannot be well unless your blood is pure, Therefore purify your blood with the best blood purifier Hood's Sar- saparilla. Brinsley: Mr: Wm.

Mitchell: Oi r former and respected. citizen, Mr. Thos. MoOlay, has met with another misfortune. His planing and saw mills were destroyed by fire in Woodstock last week, entailing a loss of fully $8,000. Mr. iIcClay's many friends in Mitchell will be sorry to hear of this disaster. Goderich: Friday Mr. Joseph Wil- son, one of the highly and respected residents; died at his home on the Huron Road, after a long illness, Her had been ailing more or less for some time, but in was in not recently that his illness indicated a fatal termina- tion. Deceased was in his 66th year. St. Marys: Mr. James Mayle in the employ of Johnston & Wright, happen- ed with an unfortunate accident on Wednesday. He was standing on the rear end of a wagon at the mill, putting on a box when the horses started and he missed his footing falling out on the hard stones, receiving severe bruises and cuts about the head and face, Brussels: Wednesday noon Benja- min Driver attempted to descend from a haymow in J. & J.
