Another death occurred at the House
of Refuge on Friday last, August ISth,
when Mrs. Ann Clark passed away at
the ripe old age of 83 years. The de-
ceased had been an inmate of the in-
stitution for about a year, coning
from the township of. Stephen. She
was a Methodist in religious convic-
tion; and the interment took place at
the House of Refuge cemetery.
Sparks from the engine of the 5.16
train on Friday evening set fire to the
grass in the vicinity of the Sutherland-
Innis Stave Works, on Huron street
and for some time threatened much
damage. The fire spread rapidly, but
it was not long before a crowd gather-
ed on the scene and put it out. Had
it not been noticed when it was, seri-
ous results might have followed.
" Just exactly the same kind o' wea-
ther we hacl in '63," said a well-known
farmer the other day, speaking of the
recent hot and dry condition of the
country. He said that to his recol-
lection, it was just the same in the
summer of 53. Everything was dried
up and cholera raged that summer. It
was probably the most unhealthy
summer that had come upon this coun-
try.

The staple topic of conversation
around this, district and in all places
of business in the dry weather, No
one in town has any idea what it
means to nhally of the farmers. Wells
and cheeks are drying up everywhere,
and stock has to be driven miles for
water. Pastures have become barren
wastes. and many people are now feed-
ing hay. The output in the cheese
factories has fallen off at least one-
