RAMBLING NOTES!
-BY--
VALENTINE MITGGINS.
In conversation with Mr. Gill, Chief of
Police, we found that the item in last week's
issue about the Diamond. 011 "doctor" was
not quite correot. He was not fined the
extreme limit of the law, 5100 being the
higbeat, $50 the lowest. Mr. Gill says the
fine could have been made 3100. Chief
Gill and our Magistrate, Mr. Olark, dealt
Very leniently with the "doctor," and he
should have been satisfied. The case might
have been taken to Clinton, but to save the
adoe,tor," who is, by the way, a good sort
of fellow, as much expense as poseible, it
was tdr d in Exeter.

If Mr. Gladstone has really gone over to
the Roman Catholic Church as reported, the
people who hitherto held him to be au
earthly saint, will now turn him over to
his late enemies who would be glad of the
chance to kiss his big toe.

The Diamond Oil concerts were a relief
to our town, and it ie hoped they are toile°
the forerunner of many more entertain-
ments for the winter menthe. Keep them up,
don't let thern die out. The Temperance
Society, the Foresters, the Sons of England,
the Churches, and many others have the
material to get up first-elass concerts and
socials, and the public will duly appreciate
their efforts. A town 80011 runs down with
out these anausenaents and entertainments,
and by home societies snpplying them the
money is kept right in the town, thereby
benefiting both tbe town and the society
which gives it, and supplying amuse.
ment for the long winter eveningt.
Now Hist the boys have a foot -ball club
organized they should be encouraged to
keep it up. Foot -ball is a healthful game,
and just the thing for the boys. Keep the
ball on the kick, boys.
In order to show the depth of a mother's
love, a poem was worded:
"Hest thou sounded the depths of yonder sea,
And counted the sands that under it be, -
Haat thou measured. the heights of the heavens
above?
Then mayest thou mete outa mother's love."
If the poem was being written now -a -days
the author would take the innumerable
typographical errors in lad week's Advocate
in preference to the sands nuclei tbe sea.

Fines-Abont two o'clock Thursday
morning a brick farm house with frame
'additions, owned by John Weir. of Goderich
township, about two miles from this place,
was totally deetroyed by fire. The family
had a narrow escape for their lives. They
only succeeded in saving one bed, and Mr
Weir had his hair badly singed in getting
out himself. When first discovered the
fire had made great headway. The cause
of firm is unknown, as everything was
considered safe on going to bed the night
before, The total loss will amount to
about $1,500. Insured for 3600.-A fire
broke out about one o'olook Wednesday
morning in a frame row owned by Wm
Murray, and occupied by F. Shepherd, as
a tailor and gents' furnishing shop. When
first discovered the fire had made consider-
able headway, and it was utterly impossible
to save anything of importance. Adjoining
was the butcher shop of W. Et. Black,
tvbich was also learned down and namely
anything saved. Next came,a vacant shop
used at one time as a painedshop, whi h
was badly damaged, and then Geo. Glas-
gow, gents' furnisher, who lost considerable
by removal, although the shop was saved.
The firemen deserve great oredit for woik
ing so heroically in fleeting the fi,e. Wm
Murray's loss is about 32,000 ; insured for
31,000. Scarcely anythMg was saved from
Black's and Shepherd's premises, and their
logs will be heavy.
