There are two cases of typhoid fever

The juvenile foot -ball team of Lucan
played a match game with the juven-
iles here, on Monday last, which result

treated them to some of her best wane
wafers and cake•
While Wm. Quinton was oppesite
the Main street Methodist church with
a load of pressed hay, the spokes iu
ono of the front wheels gave way,
lets
ting the load down, The hay was
transferred to another wagon and he
procudcd on his way without further
damage.
Mr. W. T, Bawl:sliaw is Having 42
feet of artificial granite sidewalk put
down in front of the Commercial House
We understand Mr Ed, Fish intends

It is to be hoped that many more will

A new postage stamp of the value
of eightcents is now being put into
circulation. This stamp will be avail-
able for the payment of either of regis-
tration fee and ppstage combined, or of

present supply is exhausted.
On Wednesday eight of last week
Mr. Samuel Gidley met with an acci-
dent that laid him up for several days.
While in the act of going up the front
steps into the house his foot tripped
against the mud -scraper attached to
the step, which threw him forward and
caused him a very severely sprained
ankle.
Tara has lately rejoiced in the pos.
session of a white robed ghost which
was wont to walk at a midnight hour.
The ghost had a queer penchant for
visiting an unromantic slaughter
house belonging to the Messrs. Dolphin
and after its visits the proprietors
found that the neat stored therein had
always suffered more or less diminu-
tion. Inquiry into the phenomenon
resulted in the capture of the spirit,
who proved to be a woman of the vil-
lage, wrapped in a white sheet and
on plunder bent.
Crown Attorney Lewis has received
some timely information from the Cen-
ral Prison regarding the prisoners now
awaiting sentence here for the Bruce -
field burglary. Prince, the older man,
who has an alias as Grattan, has sery
ed some five or six terms and Green
has served three. There were sent-
enced by Judge Toms on Saturday.
Charles Prince, alias Grattan, the eld-
est burglar, was sentenced to seven
years its Kingston penitentiary, while
the junior burglar, Joseph Green, was.
sentenced to Central prison for a term
of one year and eleven months. It is
hoped this will be a warning to in-
teuding burglars, as the judiciary of
Huron will give the utmost penalty of
the law to all future offenders.
The Oddfellows' Relief: Association of
Canada has, during the past year, paid
$37,500 in death and disability claims
to 22 members, This branch of the
order was organized in 1875 with 364
members, the total revenue for the
first year was only $952,01. No deaths
occurred, however, and the association
entered its second vear with nearly
three times as many members and its
revenue almost quadrupled. From
that date till the present there has
been a steady progression in numbers
and recipts until the magnificent show
ing of the past year was reached. The
total number of members in connect-
ion with the association on June 30,
1892, was 5,625; the average age was
41.13, and the mortuary rate $ 7.82 In
seventeen years $300,037 has been
paid by the association in death claims.
Rumor &float.
A rumor has been set afloat by some
unprincipled persons to the effect that
Mr. Alex. Dose had not dealt honestly
with nit since losing
my arm, and to
set matters right in the public, take
this means of contradicting all such
false statements, and will say that he
has always been upright and honest
in all his dealings with mo.

question of essential importance to our

Canada's Great Fair Toronto
Though not a World's Fair, Canada's
Great IndtistrialFair, to be hold at
Toronto from the 4th to the 16th Sep-
tember, will be very much the same in
every respect, except as to extent, and
will be equally as important to the
people of Canada. 'his year's Fair
will, it is predicted, excell all, former
ones, both in point of exhibits and in the
attendance of visitors. The space in
all the buildings has already beea ap-
plied for. New stables and new cattle
sheds have been erected at a cost of
over $100,000, and visitors can pass
through all the buildings and view the
animals under cover at all hours of the
day. The grounds have also been
drained, new roads constructed and
many other improvements made. The
special attractions are promised to be
greate'• and better than ever and will
embraced many new features. A very
small proportion of the Canadian peo-
ple are going to the •World's Fair at
Chicago, the masses being intent on
taking in the Toronto Fair, of which
they all feel justlyproud.

large ,manufacturers are closing their
doors, until mote money is in circula-
tion. A groat many of . the woollen
mills have shut down, indetinately
on account of not having orders, but
most of the cotton mills have lots of
orders, but can't get money from the
banks to pay for labor, and have had
to shut down also. Nearly all of the
batiks, to protect themselves, have de-
tided to pay out no money, except in
sums of under $50, without 60 or 90
days notice. Banks are closing their
doors by the dozen all over the
country, and people who have deposits
are on nettles for fear of losing their
money. Printing has gone to pieces
with the other trades, and there are
more idle printers now in the east than
ever known before. People ale flock-
ing from here and New England to
Canada- by the hundreds', which may
produce an over production of laborers
and skilled mechanics in your prov-
