and went to the States, where she has with in the Province,
a sister and other friends, thinking
that a change of climate might benefit
her. While- there she was attended
by medical men, but without any im-
provement, in fact she gradually
grew worse, until she used to spend
the greater part of every day
on the lounge at her sister's.
Friends came to see her, only to go
away with the sympathetic remark,
"Poor Flora, she is not long for this
world." From the beginning of her
sickness up to the time when the first
box of Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills was
taken, she had tried upwards of twenty
different kinds of medicine — some
from doctors and some of the many
patent drugs for sale 'at... druggists.
Hearing from a friend of the value of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Miss Fer-
guson resolved to give them a trial,
and requested her sister to get her a
box, Following' the directions care-
fully she began to take then?. As day
by day went by she began to feel bet-
ter andhe r sprits toreturn,and in
s
p
the course of a few weeks she walked
a mile to the post .office and home
age� in. Miss Ferguson continuedtaking
the- pills until she had used eight boxes,
when she was completely restored to
health and happiness. She was again
s rong and healthy. While ill she had
t •eittly run down in weight, and at
t ,e time she began using Dr. Williains'
Pink Pills, was reduced to 102 pounds,
and when she had completed the
eighth box her rveight had increased
to, 141 pounds. Only one month ago.
she called at the home of the editor of
this paper to leave her address to haye
,the Reporter forwarded to her at
Arlington, Mass. During the mo-
ments conversation with her the
above facts were told to Mr. W.
A. Richardson, the editor, and with
beaming countenauce Miss Ferguson
willingly agreed to ` have him tell
the people "How Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills brought her from the gates of
death to the enjoyments of health."
He was astonished, as being well ac-
quainted with her when in Sydney,
knowing how ill she was and seeing
her a physically changed person was
enough to cause anyone to be amazed
at the change.
The above facts can be verified by
writing Miss Ferguson, at No. 16 Hen-
derson street, Arlington, Mass. ; the
editor of the Island Reporter, Sydney,
C. B., or any one of the intimate friends
of Miss Ferguson, Hardwood Hill,
Sydney.
by such
unimpeachable authority as
Mr. B. must universally be acknowl-
edged to be, I heel considered the use
of aflctitious name as a commonmethod
employed by writers, who,though
having no special cause to blush for
their subject:wishto avoidthe appear-
ance of egotism or indulging in per-
sonalities, and in this latter I appear
amply borne out by the freedom with
winch these are resorted to in Mr. B's
article ; but be possibly considers the
name over which he writes was suffic-
ient of itself to remove the sting from.
what from any other source might pro -
yoke resentment, Mr. B's article also,
both in its personalities and asser-
tions relative to the matter in hand,
would be unanswerable if, as the
writer seems to suppose, the name he
makes such merit of using were indeed
a sufficient guarantee for the contained
assertions, exonerating him from all
burden of proof. Accordingly, Mr.
B., having apparently ascertained the
identityof "FairPla,y,"proceeds to state
thatcompany withother members
into an h
P y
of the club he went round town bespat-
tering with "vile names," the like of
which had never been known to drop
from their honeyed lips, his helpless
and innocent opponents. Now, Mr.
Editor, when two or threeare gathered
together and are all equally industri-
ous in the bespattering business, it is
rather hard for one not possessed of
the talent which Mr. B's article
evinces to keep track of every •
loose statement ; but as to my going
round. town calling vile names, I must
decidedly refute the imputation and
say that Mr. B. has been misinformed.
In view, however, of the ,'possibility
of an amicable settlement between the
two clubs and also of the personal
esteem which I have for Mr. Bobier, I
do not wish to further stir the matter
up, but feel that in justice to the rest
of the committee I must notice one
other point. Mr. B. has correctly
stated. that I (though not the manager)
proposed at the town hall meeting
to leave the matter to the decision of
two or three men, which would most
certainly commend itself to one's com-
mon sense as the best way outof a dif-
ficulty which could not be settled on
the spot. It did not, however, com-
mend itself to Mr. B's, who insisted
on making the matter hinge ou the
special conditions of the council grant,
thus rendering my proposal superflu-
ous. I, not being conversant with the
facts of the matter, turned to my con-
freres to ask if such were the case, to
which they replied in the negative,
and, as I have since found out, were
right in so doing, for it in reality de-
pends wholly and solely on whether
the sum in question were or were not
promised by last year's officers. In one
of Mr. B's statements I quite concur,
viz, this "newspaper fighting" is not at
all to be desired, and shall put my be-
lief into practice by saying nothing
further on this matter in public. Any
desirous of possessing the facts of the
case can easily do so without trespass-
ing further on your indulgence.
Thanking you for what you have al-
ready extended. I remain

the matter by a most extraordinary
and affable ,gentleman by the very or-
dinary name of Mr.Brown,of Arizona.
Brown told Mr. Moore to his face that.
he liked his looks and knew he could
be trusted.
They registered at the Belehamber,
On Moore asking Brown where his
partner was, the latter said that he
was a Mexican, untutored to the roan=
ners of an effete civilization like we
have here in Sarnia and had taken
quarters amongst thea shrubbery of the.
reserve. Brown explained further that
Dongolas had in his possession several
chunks of gold from the Arizona mine
and it would not be safe for him to
come up town. Brown invited Moore
to visit the reserve and see the Mexi-
can and the samples, end a' livery outfit
having been procured, Moore accepted
the proposition. Sure enough, on get-
ting well into the bush on the reserve
the Senor Oreo Dongolas appeared be-
fore the astonished St, Marysman,who
had never seen anything more of a
Mexican in his life than a chronic of
President Diaz when he had his white
shirt on. The senor was attired in
outlandish fashion and is said • to have
needed a haircut. Upon the request of
Brown, Dongolas produced two solid
gold bricks, which made Mr. Moore's
eyes stick out like the sides of an
editor's purse. Dongolas had them
wrapped tenderly in several layers of
cloth. As Moore had been promised a
one-third share in the gold taken from
the mine he saw at once that the
chance of a lifetime had come. He
would like to know if the gold in the
bricks was simon pure, so the Mexican
hied himself back into the lair, while;;
Messrs. Moore and Brown returned to
town to have the gold assayed. Mr.
Moore seemed greatly taken up with
his new acquaintance and let hien do
all the talking. The man Brown went
to David Barr's jewelry establishment
and enquired if he could assay ore.
Mr. Barr said it could not be done this
side of Toronto. Mr. Brown went to
Mr. Moore and told hint that Mr. Barr
said there was a U. S. government es-
sayist stopping at the Belehamber.
Mr. Moore was real glad and both re-
paired to the hotel again. They hunt-
ed up Mr. Griffin, the aseayist, who
was a huffy, corpulent and middle-
aged gentleman, and asked him to as-
say their gold bricks. Griffin said he.
was not working privately, being a
government essayist only with offices
in Port Huron. On being told that if
he did not do it, the gold would have.
to be sent to Toronto to be assayed,
Griffin finally agreed to do the job
for $3. Griffin produced his certifi-
cates before beginning the work, just
to show all concerned that he knew
his business. Mr. Moore was more de-
lighted than river, when Mr. Griffin
i.nnounced the gold 24k.
The man Brown then opened his
scheme. "Mr. Moore," said he. "if
you will give Dongolas and myself $9,-
000 Bash down we will give you one-
third interest in the property—you to
take these two bricks as security."
Mr. Moore jumped at the chance, and
after making further arrangements to
get the rest of what was coming to
him, he went to Manager Winlow, of
the Traders Bank to get the money,
haying G. N. Matheson, collector of
customs, to identify him. The clerks
of the bank telephoned to St. Marys
to find how Mr. Moore stood and re-
ceived as answe r that he was good for
any amount. Mr.. Moore's credit was
of far greater value than the bricks.
No questions were asked, the money
being paid in $5 and. $10 bills. Before
he went down to the reserve again,
however, Mr. Moore wanted to inves-
tigate for himself. He took a knife
and shaved off several slices for in-
spection, bringing them to both
Messrs. Battley and Turner for :-analy-
sis. The gold shown them certainly
stood good tests and was pronounced
as perhaps 24k. At Turner's about a
pennyworth was shown and at Batt-
ley's thrice that amount. Brown ac-
companied Moore to . both stores.
Moore's mind was at once set at rest
and he went down with Brown to the
reserve and exchanged the 50,000 for
the bricks—without taking a receipt.
The deal completed, Mr. Moore in-
vited bis new found friends to acconi
pany him to St. Marys but they said
they had other business nes to attend 1.0.
Mr. Moore was driven to the tunnel
depot while his partners returned to
the Belehamber to get Mr, Griffin, who
had saved thein the trouble of sending

been arranged so that when the lid
of the box was opened there would be
a flash of powder which would explode

blow a man to atoms.

On Wednesday eveningof last week,
the barns of Daniel Kelly,. of the 7th
line, near the west boundary, Morris,
were burned - to the ground, together
with four young cattle, one new self -
binder, hay, grain and all the bens.
A lantern upsetting while feeding the
stock, was the cause, Mr. Kelly, jr.,
was severely burned on the face and
hands. It was with difficulty the
stock were gotten out. The loss will
be a heavy one.
The employes in Easson's planing
mill, Stratford, were thrown into a
state of consternation on Saturday,
when Robert Salvage, a carpenter,
was rendered unconscious by a sudden
and violent blow from a board which
be was running through a circular saw.
A portion of the board became loose,
causing the saw to stop suddenly, and
knocking Mr. Salvage to the floor with
considerable force. Mr. Salvage was
badly hurt, but is in a fair way to re
