The stovepipe in this room goes into the chimney of an unused fire place. In front of the latter le to board screen before which etood n bureau. It is supposed that a spark from the pipe set the soot on fire and that falling down caught on the board front and when noticed the devouring element had made its way through the back of the bureau into the shawls, ata, stared there, doing damage to the ex. tont of $25 or $35.

'l.tsntatoxnee,-Msadoty Head farm, 611 onn., Elena township, the residence of ,John Inglis, was the sone of anima. Hon and joyonenesa on Wednesday of last week, 1511 Inst„ when some fifty guests assembled to witness the tying of the nuptial bow between William Perri°, a well known and woll-to-do young gentleman of Grey township, and Miss Lizzie Foreman, the winning grand- daughter of the host. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Andrew Handel: - eon, of Atwood, assisted by Rev. David Parris, of Mosley, brother to the groom. The bride wore a very becoming satin drses, with lane trimmings and orange blossoms. If numerous, useful and wetly gifts are a fair criterion, then Atr. and Mrs. Perrie's friends are not few nor ie their generosity stinted. A splendid repast was done ample justice after whittle the evening wee pleasantly spent in playing vartone games, social shat, dm., and the contracting parties re- ceived many hearty congratulations and good wishes as the pests departed for their respective homes. Mr, and Mrs, Perri° have begun housekeeping on their own acoment in the fine brick residence on the farm of the groom, adjoining Oranbrook.

Timely articles on the subject have ap- peared in the Bnussons Pone and Listowel papers, and it would appear from the recent utterances of Inspector Hopkirk that the demands are not unreasonable and that better faollibies oan be had at very libtle outlay. An open mail on the noon train would, we think, fill the bill. As it is, there is practically only one mail a day, which arrives in Atwood at 2;43 p. m. The morning 7:32 a. m. train only gathers up the mail from Kinoer- dine to Palmerston, while the noon taain would give us direct daily communication with all points in the London, Obatbttm and Amberatburg districts, which under the present system must necessarily go the round about way via Stratford and Listowel, causing much needless delay and inconvenience. We require two daily mails from Eastern and Western Ontario, giving us daily oommtmicatioa with all parts of the Province. If we had to beide between the two servioes- morning end noon -we would prefer dispensing with the morning mail as it gives us communioatiou with only a few places on the W. G. et 13. West. But there is no mansion for doing away with this service, and since the additional service can be secured at little cost to the P. 0. Department, we would urge all parties interested to be a unit with us in demanding better postal facilities, W 3tn,;-lta,m.
