American Silver.
The bare possibility of free silver on
the other side has caused the banks to
refuse to take American silver, and
parties in business will find some dilii
culty in handling any considerable
quantity of it. The safest plan is for
everyone to refuse it, and run no
risks.

Do Linhtnru s Ictod Protect?
The Mitchell Advocate say s:—"Many
have lost confidence in the efficacy of
lightning rods since it liet:ame known
that the barn of Mr. Lehman, Huron
road, was destroyed by lightning a few
weeks ago although rodded. Enquiry
into the matter, however, has led to the
discovery that the rods were very touch
out of order, and that one of them was
actually broken off some ten feet from
the ground In this shape a building
runs greater danger of being struck by
lightning than if no rods were in use.,
and to this oversight, we think, may
he surely attributed Mr, Lshman'a loss
Mr. Clegg. who has done an immense
amount of residing this year, informs
us that he has never heard of a build
ing, when properly rodded, being in-
jured by lightning, and this seems to
be the opinion of the, best anthorit.iesiu
this as well as other•coutitries. Impro-
per work, however, and carelessness in
not looking after repairs, often leads to
fires, and then the fault is unfairly at-
tributed to something else.

glad to see it come into force at once
as it peevears outsiders from crowding
it on our merchants, as would certainly
have itecttrred if time of warning had
been extended. We notice all chartered
banks have orders to ref use it altogeih-
or. Taken on the whole it is a god
thing' to have it forced out of the coun-
