A comparison of salaries in Stephen totem -

Assessor, $10 ; Collector, 316 ; Clerk, 9118 ;
Treasurer, $6 and percentage ; Auditors,
92 each. 1856 --Clerk, 950 ; Treasurer,

$40. 1887—council1ors, 92 a day ; Clerk,
9130 ; Treasurer, 9100 ; Collector, 990 ;
Assessor, 680 ; Auditors, 610 each, There
appears to be considerable increase of sal-
aries, but the increase of duties of the of-
ficials is greater thau the increase of pay.
In order to give some idea of the business
of 1852 as compared with °that of later
years we will take the auditors' report for
1862 :—Receipts—Non resident taxes from
County, $260.00 ; on Collector's roll $509.•
60 ; Total received, 9769.60. Expenditure
—Roads aud bridges. 9398; postage and
stationery 67 • salaries 6110 ; surveying,
$8 ; County 987 ; schools e58.75, Total
expenditure $769.43 ; balance, 17 as. A
half a page of foolscap was all the paper
that was required or used to make the au-
ditors' report out on in 1852. In 1887, 14
pages of closely written matter were requir-
ed and used. The receipts were 923.533.-
96, as compared with 9769.60 in 1852.
Roads and bridges, 91,579.50 ; lumber, and
gravel and the boundaries expenditure
whinh would make roads and bridges to
over 92,600, County rate 93,912.35,
against 9187 in 1852 ; amount paid schools
95,370.91 ; salaries 9763 in 1887.

that his antagoniet was rather too much
for him seemed a little reluctant at first,
and' at the same time did not want to take
a back Beat However he ancepted the,
challenge, and both stripped to the waist
and then 'the tussle began. Pete had the
advantage in the first round by securing
under hold, but Ed was too muoh for him
and he tipped him over in fiye seconds.
Second bout Ed secured the 1st advantage
and. Pete was again toppled over, titne
seconds. This was rather a stunner to
Pete, as he fully expected to have it all his
ewn way. Wishing to gain a better ad-
vantage he requested Ed to change sides.
Ed willing to oblige pis wily. antagonist,
agreedealthough he- was sure of defeat, as
it wits left hand work for him. However
the 8ra round commenced. Beaver bay-
ing under hold and in 6 seconds he was
under, Ed geeing another point. (Stiok
pin dar Pete) Fourth round Ecl had
under hold, auSi also a grape yine lock and
tipped the Beaver in two seconds The 5th
round ended in favor of Pete as alsothe 6th
retied which only lasted about le seconds.
They -were both pretty well done out, so it
was' agreed to meet again in the near
future for another trial of skill. We hope
'Ed', he will keep up bis good reputation.
Frank Leslie's bunday Magazine
FOR MAY
Is a valuable and interesting number of
this favorite family monthly. Both solid
and light reading, grave and gay, prose
and verse, are found in its pages, and the
many beautiful illustrations add to the
interest and value of the text. 'Luxurious
Railroading,' by Arthur Vaughan Abbot,
is very entertainingly written, and conveys
an immense amount of hiformation, which
is enhanced by the many illustrations
accolnpanying it. "The 13eginnings of
Mission Work in North Africa," tells the
story of Missions in Tunis, Tripoli, Algeria
an delteoroceo. An article on 'Heidelberg,'
by M. Wilcox, will attract attention, for
many American scholars have been edu-
cated in this famous University in that
city, and "A Pembrokeshire Parson," by
Geoege Huntington, is emost entertaining
account of an eccentric clergyman of the
Church of England. Two short stories
are .given in this number : the first, a
remerkable one by Mrs, General Wallace,
"The First Cinderella,. a story of the Red
Pyriunid," and the ber, a pretty love
tale, "Pussy Willow," by' Millie W. Car-
penter. Dr. Talmage's sermon is a strik-
ing one on 'Thirst in a Cavern," and
there are many other good things in verse
and prose, mid a fine and vigorout hymn
tune on the beet page by C. Wonham Smith
to the hymn 'Crown' Him with many
Crowns."

• Bniers.—A meeting of the Efensallites
for the purpose of organizing a sporting
club was held at the Centennial House on
Wednesday evening last. After some ani-
mated discussion it was decided by a large
majority to organize a baseball olub, and
the following officers were elected :—J. T.
Wren, president; L. Herold, vice-president;
11,13uohanan, captain; Charles MoDonell,
sec'y-treas; R. McIntyre, J. Stacey and H.
Arnold, managing committee. As soon as
the grounds are favorable the boys intone
practising.—A monster Scott Act meeting
was held in the Presbyterian church here.
A large number were present to hear the
well-known lecturer, Mr. John Gray, of
Kincardine. The Rev. Ezra Fear being
appointed chairman, he called upon the
Rev. 0. H. Bridgeman to deliver an address
which he did in an able manner. The
chairman then called upon the "Lion" of
the evening and, amid great applause, he
(Gray) took the platform. He spoke for le
hours on the subject of Temperance and
Scott Aot and during that time delivered
one of the most interesting and impressive
lectures which no doubt had its desired
effect. He compared statistioe with those
given by the Anti-Sootta and proved them
false. As Mr. Gray is a man well-known
in this part of the county as an honest,
upright and christian man, his facts come
all the more forcibly to condemn those of
his opponents. The meeting was brought
to a close at 10 o'clock by Rev. 0. H.
Bridgman pronouncing the benediction.—
It is our sad duty to again inform the
readers of the TIMES that death has done
its destructive work once more in our midst,
having taken from amongst us Mrs. Wm.
Ker, Deceased, who was apparentlyhealthy
and attending to her household duties at
8 o'clock, has soared from whence none
ever return ere the chime had pealed its
half-hour note which informs us of the
great necessity of the preparation for death
for "We know not the day nor the hour in
which the Son of Man oometh."

A Day or Mouneineo.'—Sunday last was a
day of mourning in tbe Village of Kirkton,
the day witnessing the funerals of Mr. Win
Stineon and Mrs. David Kirk. The decease
of the late Mr- Stinson has evoked ex-
pressions of regret wherever he was known.
In the death just referred to an old and
highly respected resident of the village is
taken from our midst. He was °inlet
the pioneers of Canada and it is to such as
Lim who possessed the virtue of persever
ance and the never failine spirit of deter-
mination that our fair land is what it is,
and we feel as though enough cannot be
said to keep their memories before us. Mr
Stinson was born in Comity Sligo, Ireland,
in the year 1816 from whence he immigrat-
ed at the age of 14 years coming to Canada
and settling in Bastard Township, County
Leeds, toiling as an eerly settler and meet •
ing with difficulties and success. In 1854
he moved to Usborne tp., Huron Co„ where
he resided till 5 years ago, when he retired
and came to Kirkton. He was of a robust
oonspntion and under the cycle of 72 yrs.
of vigorous health it was expected that
years were yet to run through the gtass of
time ere he left this earthly sphere for
realm above ; yet the will of iProvidence
had not ordained such and deceasedwas tak-
en sick about March 25th, and he died
on Friday, April 13th, and quietly passed
away. The deceased leaves a large family
behind, who are scattered over varieus parts
of the continent. He was a member of the

Mrs. David Kirk died very suddeely and
was buried on the same day as Mr. Stin-
son. On Tuesday last she was visiting her
siolt brother-in-law, Mr. Stinson, and it teas
little expected that she, too, would leave

relative's death. She was suddenly taken
ill at the place above mentioned, and left
for her home a few roes distant, when she
took to her bed, from which she rose not

ADULTERATIONS IN °REAM OF TARTAR..
Under the direction of the New York
State Board of Health eighty-four different
kinds of baking powders, embracing all the
brands that could be found for sale in the
Stete, were submitted to 'examination and
analyeis by Prof. 0. F. CHANDLER, a naera-
ber of the State Board and President of the
New Yore City Board. of Health, aseisted
by Prof. EDWARD G; Lent, the wel-known
United States Governnaent chemist.
The official report shows Via a large
number of tlae powders ereetfized were
found to onntain alum or lirae ; niftily of
them to such an extent as to retitle:: them
seriously objectionable for meb a to pre-
paration of human food.
Alum was found in twenteeri. o
This drug is employed in beetee, rov Aare
to cheapen their cost. The pose, ee
lime is attributed to the impure mom of
tartar of commerce used in their r-..anutot-
ure. Such cream of tartar was alto anal-
yzed and found to contain e,nd other
impurities; in some samples to the cent
of 93 per cent. of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market, with
the single exception of "Royal" (not includ-
ing alum and phosphate powders, which
have not the virtue of even an impure
cream of tartar), are made from the adul-
terated cream of tartar of commerce, and
consequently contain lime to a oorrespond-
ing extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free from
time and absolutely pure is the "Royal."
This perfect purity results from the exclus-
ive use of cream of tartar specially refined
and prepared by patent processes which
totally remove the tartrate el lime and
other impurities. The cost of this chemic-
ally pure cream of tartar is much greater
than any other, and on account of this
greater cost is used in no baking powder
but the "Royal."
Prof. LOVE, who made the analysis of
baking powders for the New York State
Board of Health, as well as for the Govern-
ment, says of the purity and wholesome-
ness of the "Royal":
I find the Royal Baking Powder compos-
ed of pure and wholesome ingredients.
It is a cream of tartar powder of a high
degree of merit, and does not contain either
alum or phosphates or other injurious sub-
stance. E.G. Love, Pa. De'
It is highly satisfactory to the housekeep-
ers of this reinity, where the Royal Baking
Powder is in general use, that the investi-
gations by the analysts in Massachusetts,
New York, and Ohio, the only States that
have thus far taken action upon this im-
portant subject, agree in classing it as the
purest and most efficient baking power in
the market.

In Stratford not bong ago a farmer
tied his team to a striped pole, sur-
mounted by a fine galvanized iron
lamp, and in an absent-minded mom-
ment one of the horses tossed
his head and snapped the pole
off at the base. It cost the farmer 925
to make good the loss. Stabling the
horses would have been cheaper.
