Messrs. A. W. Robinson and L. H.'
Dickson were in Toronto this week
consulting counsel regarding the liti
gation,lilcely to arise in connection
with the work of cutting and dredg-
ing at the Grand Bend. We under
stand that actions will at once be insti
tuted against the towitship of Stephen
and against some of the .members
thereof personally, It looks like a
good fat job for the lawyers.
The town of Parry Sound enjoys (?)•
the distinction of having struck the
highest rate in the province this year
the tax paver having to shoulder 38
mills on the dollar. The village of
Creemore comes' next with 35 mills; and
Bracebridge third with 27. Markham
crakes a gond fourth with 27 9-10 mills
and leaves two or three thousand dol
tars unprovided for. Lindsay occupies
fifth place with 24 mills.
The men employed upon p the o wor -
1.
at removing the dirt on the Aux Sable
river, near' Grand Bend, have not
been paid their wages. Some of them
are from Port Huron, some from Tor-
onto, and some from places at a great
er distance. `Owing to the township of
Stephen's action in refusing to pay Mr.
Robinson for the work, Mr. Robinson
was unable to pay the men. The un-
fortunate fellows were thus left to get
to their homes the best way they could
and without a cent in, their pockets.

Ontario's crops are lighter in almost
every department this year than they
were in 1892. According to the On-
tario Bureau of Industries, the de-
crease of the wheat yield is 7,041,581
bushels. Of barley we grew '2,468,230.
bushels less in 1893 than in the pre-
ceding year, and of oats there is a loss
of 6,173,524 bushels. Field crops are,
however, not the full guage of the
yield . dairying
of farms. The
y
interests are growing yy earl-, and as

beginning to appreciate the fact, that
there is something besides cereals for
him toevident produce is a rdcnt by the figures
for the present year, Huron should
wheel into the dairy line as quickly as
possible.

A Degtructive Fire.
At about 8 o'clock Tuesday evening
last Mr. James Walters was suddenly
taken by surprise on entering Mr.
Samuel Gidley's furniture- ware room,
which is located under the Oddfellows'
Block, and discove cd that a fire was in
progress in the ,small apartment used
as a con room. He immediately made
it known to Mr. Gidley and others who
were sitting in the workshop engaged
in a social chat. They at once -secured
buckets and made rapid efforts to fight
the flames but it was of no avail the
fire had beeu too long in progress to
bs averted so easily-. The yell of "fire"
was next sounded in stentotian_ tones
and the tire alarm rung, but owing to
the bell rope being out of order some
time elapsed before the people were
acquainted with the fact that a serious
conflagration was in course. How
ever, a large number gathered at the
destructive scene and it was not long
before No. 2:Fire engine, followed by
No. 1, were on the spot and isi opera-
tion. For a short.timeit was thought
the fire would spread .to adjoining
buildings but the engine soon averted
the danger and the destroyingelement
confined to the 'premises wherein it
started. But it was not before all the
furniture, undertaking supplies, pic
ture mouldings, tools and in fact near
ly everything was destroyed or so bad
ly damaged that it will be of little or
no use; also doing considerable dam-
age to the Odd Fellows furniture anti

breeze from the east to carry the flames
