An exchange says that an editor once applied atthe door of Hades for admission. "Well„' replied his stable majesty, "We let one of your profession in here many years ago, and he kept up a continual row 'with his former de Unguent subscribers; and as we have more of that class of persons than any other, we have passed a law prohibiting the admission of editors." 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. The D W. Boyce Co.,. of Chicago, want a good hustling boy or 'girl in every town in the United ` States and � Canada to sell their famous weekly il- lustrated papers, the Sati relay Blade and the CMsctgo Ledger.

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 they develop h h m e Geld p cro s will de' v p niinish. That the Ontario farmer, is 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. ltiunson's Slaual.ter bale, 900 pairs of Meh'3 overshoes at $1.10 $1.25 up to $1.75 per pair to be slaugh- tered on Friday and Saturday.

Todd, of the Clinton News-llecord, should undergo a surgical operation by having a piece of boue removed from behind the ear; It seems the bone has been decaying and caused him much severe pain at times.

On Friday last a most painful acci- dent happened to Wesley Veal, son of DIr. John Veal, who resides at the north end of town, whereby he will be a cripple for some time, It seems he and his brother were engaged in cut• ting wood in Mrs. J. Gould's swamp, Hay, and by some means the axe which, he was using slipped and cut four toes oar his right foot. Election of Olfee'rs At the regular convocation of the Royal Arch Chapter, No. 85, A.

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 Brent 'lod- ges itof several d r in the upper story. There was not much wind blowing :at the time of, the fire but had there peen` A stiff breeze from the east to carry the flames to back of the building it •is probable that a lot of the frame structures.would have been swept outot existence. The fire seems to have originated from the stove pipe where it entered the chimney The damage to the building is 'consid erabie but is fully .covered' by insur- ance in the Gore Mutual • Mt'. Gidley's loss is about 53000, with an insurance in the Ontario Mutual of $1,200 Too much credit cannot be given the fire• men anal citizens for their services en ;the occasion.
