SOMETHING/ABOUT EGGS. 4-- We noticed the following in the London Advertiser of a few clays ago: The price of eggs in England is of importance now that the .American market has been closed to us. Mr. D. D. Wilson, of Seaforth, recently sold a consignment in England, so a special cable dispatch stated, at 8 shil- lings per long 100 (10 dozen), about 19 cents per dozen. The Walkerton Herald says: It must not ' be forgotten, how-: everethat eggs in that market are graded according to size, and the consignment in question was graded as firsts„ weigh- ing from 16 to 17 pounds per dozen. At the same time seconds were sold at 16 cents ; these weighing less than 8 to a pound at 14 cents, ad small eggs (the greater part of our Jpring product) at as low as 11 cents per dozen. While shippers can save themselves and gener- ally make a profit on the larger sized eggs, such profits are swallowed up by the loss of 3 cents or more on the large number of small sized egg's. e OBITUARY.—On Sunday last Mrs. Catherine Killoran, mother of Mr. John Killoran, merchant of this town, passed away. The deceased, with her husband and family, came to this country from the county cf Sligo, Ireland, in 1845, settling in the Gore of Downie, Oxford Road. Her husband died shortly after- wards, leaving her I with ten young children to battle against the hardships endured by the pions rs of our Province. ,She lived the long lie of 97 years, be- ing survived by three sons and two tleughters, and among her descendants are thirty-eight grand -children, forty -great-grand-children, ' and two great - great -grand -children, and she saw five generations. The pall bearers were slx of her grand -sons. She was a pious member of the Catholic Church, and a grand Requiem High Mass was cele- brated in St. Mary's Church, by Rev. Pother Brennan, at which the reverend paator spoke -eery feelingly of the de- ceased. The interment took place on Tuesday, in the St. Marys cemetery. Requiescat in pace.

FIRE ! — S forth has bee very fortunate in th way of losses b : fire for some years, tut during the pas three weeks there h ve been no fewe than four fires, and the sound of th steam whistle is becoming unpleasant' !familiar. The worst feature of th xnatter is, that at least three of them fires were, undoubtetily, the work of a incendiary. About half past eleve o'clock, Saturday ni ht the alarm wa sounded,and on turni g out it was foun that the fire was in ai old tenement ter race on the Ogilvi� property near th mill. The firemen were promptly' o hand and soon ad two good stream pouring on thefla es, drowning the out in a few mi ute .The end of th building in which t e fire started wa pretty well burned, but the , remainder etas saved. This house has not been ciccapied for yearsi and there ie no doubt as to the orig n of the fire.—The fourth and last fire was on Tuesday morning. About half past one o'clock Mr. Lusby, when on his nightly rounds, oticed a fire in the rear of Mr. J, S. orter's furniture wareroome. He at o ce gave the alarm; and in a short time t e firemen were busily at work,and the c tiZens, both big and little, male and f male, were out 1 in hundreds. • The b ilding extends from Main street in f ont to the lane hick runs along the ✓ ar of the row of uildings on the east aide of Main street The show room is ir the front, and t e rear was ueed as a areroom for furniture and undertaking eliock, including a hearse. The whole b ilding is of wood and is of the most i flammable mater al. Prompt as the fi emen were, the r ar part of the build- ing was enveloped in flames and the in- rior was all on fire. This part of the biliilding, also, is higher than the front part and a stiff breeze was blowing the arks over on to the front building in owerg. Two good streams of Water re soon going, aid by well directed d persistent efforts the fire was soon t under control, .end in less than an ur it was completely drowned out. It e surrounded byl frame buildinge on sides, and was in a most dangerous ce. But for our excellent systene of terworks, and tbe persistent and le el -headed effortsof our firemen, a considerable part of 'the business portion n' s e, y 8 w a gc wi al pi of the town would, in all probability, be in ashen to -day. The firemen can not be given tqo much praise, while the en- gineer, Mr, Robert Roberts, should not be forgotten. Ile kept up Splendid, steady flow of water, and gave all the , power reqeired and everything worked -splendidly. Mr. Roberts has been in !the employ of. the town for many years and he has never yet been found lacking at the nritioal moment. With our sys- tem of fire protevtion, when properly managed, iefil it usually is, it is -almost impossible for a fire to spread beyond the building in which it originates, and if the lire is discovered in time, the building can usually be saved. Tbe part at Mr. Porter's building 'in which the re raged was pretty badly wrecked and the whole of his stock was more or less damaged, while his hearse was entirely burned. The stocks of Miss .Carlisle and Mr. Milburn, d:joining Mr. Por- ter's, were also considerably damaged by removal. Both these parties, howeVer, have their losses covered by insurance. The fire was started onthe lane end of the building, on the northeast corner, but whether inside or outside we can not say. It was, undoubtedly, the work of an incendiary, as there had not been any fire i the building for months. Mr. Porter ha an insurance of $1,000 on the building ; $800 on the ' furniture and $350 on ti. e undertaker's supplies, not including the hearse, which is a total lose. Th loss will be considerably in excess of the insurance. Mr. Porter will have • itt building repaired at once, and will continue on business as formerly.

The I'M', Show, under the auspices of the Repeal' Agricultural Society, was hek in Helvetii on Tuesday and Wed - nes ay 'last. This is the first fair the SocJieLy, has held, and the officers -and dir ctors, as well as the citizens of Hen - salt and vicinity, inust feel highly elated at the grand success thus attianed by thel r first attempt. The Society is an in 'ependent one, and consequently does no receive a share of the Government gr nt, but the enterprising citizens sub- sc ibed the necessary funds for the prize lis , which was second to none in the co nty for the liberality of the prizes gi en. Deme Fortune apparently ap- pr ved of their undertaking, as the wether was all that could be- desired, a 'cl from the large number who turned o t it was apparent that the citizens of tbje town and surrounding country were n t going to miss one of the treats of t e season. The latge and commodious skating rink of Mr. Coxworth, where the indoor department was exhibited, was filled full and presented a very ',tatty appearance. In this department the display of ladies' work was very large and emost tasteful in appearance. There was a good display in the art department, and the flowers were by no means forgotten. The display of stoves and furniture, by Mr, J. E McDonell and McArthur & Ball were well worthy of special mention. Implements made a good showing, and the exhibit of bug- gies was the best we have seen for some time. Organs and sewing mechines were also on hand. Fruit was plentiful and made a neat display, while grain., although not plentiful was of firat-class quality, as was also the dairy produce. The out -door department was exhibit- ed on the driving park, and was a cen- ter of attraction during the afternoon. The proceedings were opened by a keen- ly contested feet ball match, between Brussels and Hensell. The game lasted one hour, at the eXpiration of which the score stood one goal to one. The show of horses was Very large, and all the animals flown were of prime quality, showing that the farmers of that vicinity do not take a second place in the raising of first-class horses. The different classes of heavy horses were well represented and the keenest of competition prevail- ed, while the display of light horses was equally good. There was a noticeably large number of fine drivers, which for speed and style would be hard to beat. The farmers' trot was a' just appreci- ation, but the horse of Mr. W. White, of Exeter, was too much for the rest, taking both heats, with Mr. James Hor- ton's pacer second. Besides the drivers there was a gooddisplay of saddle horses. The allow of cattle, although not very large as regards numbers, con- tained some very prime animala, the steers being particularly good. Sheep and pigs were not numerous, and the competition was very keen, especially in pigs, the prizes being nearly all car- ried off by two or three breeders. The poultry on exhibition was good,and the birds exhibited showed good breeding. Another very interesting ae well as ex- citing event was a tug of war, between teams from Kippen and Hensall. Kip. pen got the first pull, but the Rainfall men were too much for them, end took the next two pul All that the Society now require to do to have it go 'd build- ing on the driving park for th • indoor department, and they will t en have one of the finest grounds in the county. Although the show this year was such a success we hope the Society may long flourish tcc.have still greater mimeos. The Prize List will be published in full next week. McKillop. THAT ST.A.TITIE LABOR. —DEAR Ex-. POSITO,—I have noticed for the last few months that the township clerk of McKillop has been trying to gain notoriety by blowing his own horn pretty freely. He has also been trying to make your many readers believe that the council, and the assessor in particu- lar, have been making some gross mis- takes, and that he alone is keeping everything right. Now, I will give your readers a few facts concerning the Statute Labor question, abont which he writes so much. Mr. Morrison stated in a letter some time ago that the ooun- cil repealed the by-law of 1886 in, the year 1889, and that the asseasor still went by the bylaw of 1886. If such was the caee, why did Mr. Morrison, when he knows all the law, not give a copy of the by-law of 1889 to the assessor when he gave him the roll in 1890, or if as he, or as he claims, the judge has de- cided that the clerk has to be governed by the by-law and not by any state- ments given by the assessor, why did Pdtr. Morrison not go according to the by-laws in 1889 and in 1890, as well as in 1891, as I see by reading a printed copy of the by-law, that it was passed on the 13th day -of April and csme into force on the 1st day of May, 1889. This surely clears the assessor and leavea the fault with the clerk for the year 1889# as the roll would be given to the clerk on or before the 30th day of April, and the assesser would have al better guide for 1890 and 1891. I thin, therefore, if any one is to blame in the matter, ir most certainly was the clerk. —RATE- ATER. ZUriCh. BRIEFS. —Messrs. J. and J.

Brucefleld., WHO WANTS M ONEY. —Mr, George Hart, of this village, has been appointed agent and valuator for the Hamilton Provident and Loan Society. The Soc- iety is fortunate in securing the service of Mr. Hart, S9 he is well known in the vicinity and highly respected and people can do business with him knowing that their Interests will be properly looked after, and that they will be honestly dealt with. We anticipate that he will do a good business, although most of the people around here are so well off,' that they do not need to borrow much money, but when they do need it they can't do better than apply to Mr. Hart.
