—The Salvation Army barracks in
Listowel had a narrow escape from being
the second time destroyed by fire on
Wednesday evening last week. When
the fire was first noticed it had made

A Strange History.
The Sentinel -Review tells this strange
tory There is now in Woodstock gaol
n a charge of vagrancy an old woman,
ho, early in the century, was born with
righter prospects than -most of those
now holding good positions in society.
She was, as the phrase goes in EnglancV
:Of gentle birth. She was bright, beauti-
ful, and well educated, with family and
locial connections that seemed to ensure
,for her a bright, if not a brilliant future.
She is, we are credibly informed, a rela-
,tive of the great Dr. Guthrie, and was,
s a young lady, on terms of more than.
riendship with a man who far more than
generation has been one of the greatest
rif living statesmen, and whose name is
daily on the lips of the world. Letters
from him to her were, we are assured,,in
existence a few years also, in which he
expressed the feelings el ardent l youth at
the shrine of beauty. What n strange
world it is in which two lives once so
chilies ready for operation and had steam , near together should have run so widely
[
up, with the intention of starting as 1 apart. Honor and fame followed one;
soon as the machinery was properly ad- , while misfortune and at last poverty
justed. An inquisitive fool of a boy
who was working about the place;
thought he would like to see how the
engine would -run and turned on steam
while the men Were all upstairs. The
engine started, but the adjustments not
having been made, the crank burst at
the third or fourth revolution, and
when the piston dropped against the
bed it tore things up generally and fin-
ally doubled up itself. The boy fled to
the country and was not heard of for
several days. The smash cost Mr. Dor-
man about $75 beside the bother and
delay.
Deaths.
THOMPSON.—In Seaforth, on the 17th inst.
Laura, infant daughter of Mr. Alex. Thom .
son, aged 5 days. ,

INGERSOLL, July 19.—Twenty factories offered

Salesmen seem indifferent about selling before
next market. Twenty-eight,factories represent-
ed and ten buyers present. '
LiTree Rues, N. Y., July 19.—There was a
stand off in the choese market until late in the
day ; finally prices were advanced to meet the
demands of the salesmen, and the ruling price
was 9c, about lc above last week's price. Trans-
actions were 60 lots at 91e, 20 lots at 9ec, 4 lots
at 91,e, 42 lots at 91c, 4 lots at 9ic, 9 lots on pri-
vate terms, 7 lots on commission; total, 9,985
boxes. Dairies—There were sales- of 980 boxes
dairy cheese at The to 9c, bulk at 8c; butter, 18
packages dairy sold at 18e to 19e; also 22 pack-
ages creamery at 19c.
MONTREAL, Juy 19.—As far as this market is
concerned in cheese, there is no boom and no
business, as dealers have been unsettled by the '
rise in the West and don't know what to ask,
and shippers have no orders and don't know
what to offer. In butter, the local trade is a
very small one at present. ' The quototions are
as follows, Creamery, 20c to 20c; Townships,
15e to 17c; Morrisburg, 140 to 16c; Brockville,
13c to 14c; Western, 13c to 14c.

from Eighth street, to catch his train,
you would have said he died from hur-

of the heart or any other organ, but an
overtaxing pf all the organs. By this
foolish desire to catch a train or reach
some point a little so6ner than we ean
do it safely, some of us are jeopardizing

DEAR Sins,—Last summer 1 was down in a
low typhoid fever, was sent by my medical ad-
viser to the General Hospital. After one month's
treatment for indigestion I returned somewhat
better, but reniained in very poor health, unable
to tand straight up, as I had a constant pain
in my stomach. Got 3 our St. Leon Water one
week ago, drank freely, felt it do me good at
once; in three days pains all gone; to -day, 6th
day, feeling well and can stand straight up.
Very gratefully yours, MARY MORMON,

Will not adopt the practice now in vogue of so many business notices to advertise
falsehoods, as a man expecting to prosper in business by such means might as
well expect a house 'built on an iceberg to stand the test of the present warm
weather. Facts, solid, double -distilled facts, will tell every time, and to the fact
that we do not practice the habit of straining the truth, either behind the counter
or through the Columns of the newspapers, do we attribute years of business pros-
perity in your midst. Now going on the
