The health of the southern part of the village is not stow nor luta iG, for years been es good, its it might be ; it falls far short of beide .as free from fever and other gernwi Itis is the centre and north- exn' part of the dace,. Whatever the cauls may be, the residents fa+loug Jturon and Ann streets have foralieers been- the victims of typhoid fever, the majority of which, if nc+t all, being endeuiical cases. Why should this be ? There appears to be every reason that we should have otic of the healthiest places in the Prxvince in wbich to live. "Where the land .is well drained; we never hear of a case of en- demic sickness, What sickness there is is confined to that portion of the village lying south of Ann street, where we understand the saniteiy regulations are none of the best. The land lies low and is poorly drained, which together with the recent climatic conditions rendered that district n)ore liable to such diseases. But the real and more prevalent cause of typhoid fever is filth, and if there is any one place in the village where filth accum- ulates faster than another, it is in the cesspool or open drain which crosses Main street in the vicinity above mentioned. For years there has ben an accumulation of debris in this drain, which becoming stagnant impregnates the air in its pre- cincts with fever germs ; and not ,until this drain is covered or regularly cleaned out will the neighborhood be free from diseases caused by such nuisances. If the boardof health do not feel inclined or prepared to grapple with it, the coun- cil should look into the matter, and nothing should be left undone or .un - attemped to correct the existing evils. We are only voicing the sentiments of the public when we ,ask for an immediate and effective investigation, into the cause of the fever sickness in the southern part of the village. _ _ ._ ____ Another Burning Bridge. Ab Detroit, ea evening last,, 11'fessrs, Z3tltterworth, 1'h.lims Land Golds wits Smith admitted; be(sarg a very large audience that the ultimate result of ooina e 'ee L li , ><. 1 t i 1 0 t o t ) b • t ld � C li iR,tl union. It A, � 1, � a is difheult for tltesct agitators to repeat this aloe story on both sides of the herder,; bat fp will be decidedly Azloro dif ioult to convert the t)lgjoaity of Ositadian people. to the supposed eotnnteroial union. The to'vn council of Stooton, Hawes, is composed exclusively of women The experiment is being closely watched by other towns which are ready to do like- wise, should success crown the efforts of the fair councillors. The council hes some important works on hand this year, such as constructing a railway, building a town hall, building an aqueduct and a police station, besides the ordinary routine busi- ness of opening up new streets ; and, it is said that the female couneillors face all difficulties serenly and hopefully, The process of removing stumps on the Experimental Farm at Ottawa is thus de- scribed :-Tile mode is simple enough. A hole six inches in diameter is dug in the earth from the side of the stump, and running three or four feetand slanting be- neath it Into the hole a :couple of dy- namite cartridges are put with a fuse at- tached to there. The workman lights the fuse and then skips. A minute or so litt- er the dynamite blows the stump to peices The dynamite cartdriges are thics candles in shape, and the dynaunte looks like dirty brown sugar. Each cartridge con- tains half a pound or so of the dynamite. When everything was ready the visiting party took up a position one hundred yards from the doomed stumps. The fuses were lit and the workmen retreated. A little later a brown pyramid of earth, stones and roots rose in the air with a re- port like a cannon, to the height of fifty feet or more, and as it attained its full height, out of it rose two or three huge i bits of riven lin op and sailed into the empyrean, more or less long after the brown cloud had subsided, they came down to mother earth again with a thud, long distances from the scene of the ex- plosion. 'EDITORIAL NOTES. A revised statement of Dominion rev- enue aild expenditure for the fiscal year ending June 30 shows a total revenue of $35,801,941, leaving a surplus over ex- penditure of $134,437. HaavESTrNG in Manitoba is nearly finished, an average wheat yield of be- tween twenty-five and thirty bushels to the acre being fissured, with other cereals in proportion. It is estimated that at least seven million bushels of wheat, and probably more, will be available for export. Those who take atn interest in the fate of Stanley will be relieved to see that the rumors of his death are without founda- tion. He was well alien heard of on the 19th of June at the rapids of the Aru- whimi, and it is a physical impossibility for the news to reach the west from him since that date, A. remarkablefeature of the seasons horse" purchases`in England is the large demand for Clydesdales from Canada and the 'United *States. The Clydesdale So- ciety's records show that this season's American purchases exceed the last by 200 head. Of these Canada bought no inconsiderable number. Recent Canad- ian analian buyers and shippers include Beith, Graham Brothers, Charlton, Sorby, Par- ker, Wyllie and Prangley, making alto_. gether 89 purchases. Ix is reported that about two hundred bushels of the Russian wheat grown at the Central Experimental Farm this year will be available for seed next spring. This will hardly be sufficient to meet the demand for samples which have poured in since the announcement of the wonderful Cambridge, U., Aug.2.9.-This morning as a freight train on the Cleveland and Mar- ietta -road neared Oldham's trestle the bridge was seen to be c,n fire, The engineer called for brakes but as several of them thought it was too late to save the train several of them jumped. Firemah Adams was probably fat- ally hurt, The jumping trainmen were ser- iousfy hurt. The engine and all the train except three cars passed over the trsetle, six- ty feet of which fell with the last three cars, dropping them 47 feet. cause of fire un-' known. Paris Green placed for a ratpoisou, has wrought ravages in the coop of Mrs. Peart, of St. Marys. A bovine of the feminine per- suasion belonging to Mr. Graham hotel keep. er was also on the sick list. The death of Mr. Albert Goodanre, of Lucan, which took place at his late residence Sunday removes oue of the best known and respected residents from the village. The deceased was a business man of good stand• ing in the community. He was 51 years of age and leaver a family of four sons and one daughter. Through the Whirlpooi. Buffalo, Aug. 29. -Chas. Alexander Percy, of Suspension Bridge, a young man 27 years old and by trade a, wagon maker, carriage and painter, made a safe trip through the whirlpool: rapids yesterday in a life boat made by himseif during the past summer. The boat is about seventeen feet long with air chamber% at either end, iu one of whinh Percy made the voyage. It is rigged with a ,seat so that the navigator could sit in it and outside if he wishes. Thekeel is weighted with 250 pounds of iron and bags of sand carried in thd hold so that it will right itself. An iron weight attatched to a long trailed rem the stern so as to keep the boat ahead. Though it .keeled in a . threatening way, the craft rode the breakers and great waves with- out once upsetting. The sight was a pretty one to those on shore. After entering the whirl pool. basin Percy came out and rowed himself to shore. His object is not for glory he says. The journey was simply experi- mental, and the boat having come through all right he will now model a life boat on a large scale from it and ask for a patent. " The strangest part of it is that Percy had no practicle knowledge of boat building. His work was done in secret and nocbne but his brother had been allowed to see it until the results achieved by Mr. Johnston and day it was launched. other grain growers in Manitoba, and the Minister of Agriculture, with conmend- Mysterious Shooting. able forethought, has instructed Prof. -- Saunders to import one hundred more 'Toronto, Aug, 30.-A notorious char - eater named Tom Buckley was shot this morning in a'house on Adelaide street. He was found shortly after 7 leaning against a fence post in frontof the house with the blood slowly oozing from a bullet wound in his side. A doc- tor was octorwas summoned, whop after probing unsuccessfully for the ball sent the wounded man to the hospital. Itis not beheyed that the wound will be fatal unless peritontis sets in. Buckley pos. itively refuses to say wl o shot him He says he was drinking hard with three ejiums last night; and went home to sleep off the debauch. There was no one In the house but himself'. Shortly before 7 this morning he was awakened by a man ban fnering at the back door. He opened the door when a man point, ed a revolver at hint, saying, '*Now 1 have got you, you scoundrel," and fired two shots at him, the latter striking on the side near the heart. The man then fled, Toni Jones, a chum of Buckley's is suspected. Jones was arresters and remanded for a week. He is also a not- ed tough, bushels direct from Riga. With regard to Mr. Johnston's experiment, it should be pointed out that while the Russian wheat ripened but eight days ahead of the Red Fyfe, the Iatter was sown 24 days earlier than the Russian, or a differ- ence of one Month in favor of the new variety. '.rhe Ontario Board of Health at its Friday session considered the report of the Committee on Epidemics. It was found that the province was on the whole free from epidemics, diphtheria being the most prevalent. In the eastern counties there had beets' more of this disease. There had been the usual amount of mi- asma in the extreme western counties. The report was adopted. There are a number of complaints from outside sources of various unsanitary arrangements in s'triowt parts of the province. The eon - sideration of these will take considerable' tilde. Of late the fainters and villagers ,of Ontario, are, according to Dr. Bryce, a taking, great interest in matters pertain- ing n to satlitatinrl, and they manifest a desire to Iay beforo the Provincial Board of Health any cases of Unhealthy premi- ses. ..,. 1?essrs, Colqulso n and Watson, of Fullitr tun, recently purchased from M.essrts..
