On Friday morning last, about 3 o'clock,
the Bake it Cradle Factory, situated about
one mile south of here, was totally destroyed
by fire. The premises were owned by Mr.
Beaman, who has had the fretory hu °per-'
ationfor the past few years. The cause 'of
the fire is uuknown, but some are of the
opiniou it was the work of au incendiary.
The couteuts of the budding were alert des-

i Firs6aate Plan.
A writer in the Canadian Sportsman says
he heard the other day of a farmer up the
country whotook a hay fork swindler by the
throat when he ,came to make his collection
and compelled the fellow to sign a discharge
receipt in full. if a few more of the scound-
leis were seeved the same way, the tribe
would stand a chance of becoming extinet,and
the unsophisticated agriculturalist would be
saved from a great plague.
'Plum Trus Destrol eat.
The reports whie)a come from different
parts of the eountry stating that the plum•
trees have been destroyed by the severe frosts
of last winter aro applicable to this neighbor-
hood. People generally state that there is
scarcely a plum trey in their orchards which
has not been more or less damaged. Be-
tween this and the ravages of black -knot
there will be no crop worth speaking of this
year, and the lady folks will have to depend
on some other fruit for their preserves.
Prices for Wool
From au official Wool Circular we learn
that the prices to be paid for Wool during
the ensuing season .. will be not more than
18 or 19 cents, for selected meriliantile fleece
wool. These prices are governed by the Eng t
lisle market, therefore the probabilities ase'
that no increase shall be made. There will
be a deduction Made on these prices for all
unmerchantable svool, such as unwarshed,
black, burry, coifed or coarse buck fleeces.
We advise farmers to market their - wool as
early as possible.
It is said that the Minister of Education,
The Sanitary journal gives some "Season-
able hints" which are worthy attention, In
view of the near approach of the bething
season our contemporary advises : "Be not
too ready to get lute cold water out of doors,
Better to bathe at home until the weather
and wester get decidedly warm. Go not into
cold water when overbeated, nor when cool-
ing off, nor when cold, nor remain. in too long
at first. Fatal cramps are caused by sash
iudescretions. Dry off quickly, and dress as
;eon is eaesibleo, on leaving the water.' Ile -
!erring to tao too common habit of leaving
off nuchr••daunels en the first warm da,•, tiro
.rcnnie! says that indiseretiou "has beeu tate

but as the freokio.faoed chap has not
sufficiently reeoyored to be prevent at
these meetings there was SO faints on
this occasion. But it is becoming
more apparent every meeting night
that the growing wants of the Club 1
will have to be attended to by the
business committee. The room at
present occupied is totally aunt to be
occupied is totally unlit to be used fur
such a noble purpose, as it seems to
have been built in the middle ages
wlleu,uo particular attention was paid
either to acoustics or ventilation, and
heoc° a general desire is manifget to
engage more airy and cowmodioue
quarters. It is surprising the amount
of talent this club contains and the
number of embryo orators that aro
amongst its members. If the pro -
molars of the Scott Act in Huron and
Perth !fru in want of advocates, they
wool 1 do well to oousult the secretary
of this tub who will be tai

hist' stump orators "made to order"
at the shortest notice. Temperance
has been made a hobby of discussion
iu this club, and heuca each of ifs

spittoon ou his knees and who chews

plug of delicious tobacco every night,
is brimful of 'Temperance it) all things.

The 'resolution committee subinit

(1) That aa, prohibitory liquor law
would be preferable to the Scott Act:
(2) That liquor is very good in its.
place but where its place is your com-
mittee is unable to determine.
(3) That it would be just as well to
submit the Scott Act in all the Count-
