The fire started inside the building, in the rear corner set apart as an office.

We believe that the owner will be prosecuted if he does not destroy the animal or desist from selling her product. DEPRECIATION OF EROPERT Y.—A Polish Jew in Chicago committed suicide the other day because of the depreciation in value of some of his property, though he was worth $100,000. Our town coten-i says that the property of the farmers in Canada has depreciated, but they are wiser' than either the Era or the Jew. They don't believe the for- mer and in any event have. more sense than the latter. SEEMS AS THOUGH HE WAS RILED, -Au American exchange dilates as follows :—A man in Clay, who owes us over two year's subscription, pit his paper back in the postoffice laflt week marked "refused." We have heard of many mean men. Th'ere is the man who used the wart oh his neck for a collar button, the ne who pastured a goat on his grandmother's grave, the one who stole coppers from a dead man's eyes, the one who got rich by giv- ing five children a nickel each to go to bed without supper and then stealing the nickle after the children were asleep ; but for pure, down- right meanness the man who will take a paper for years, mark it, "re- fused," and then stick it back into the postoffice, is entitled to the first premium. VERY SAD.—A melancholyoc- currence was the death of the N.vife of Mr. William Weir, of the Bay field Line, near Clinton, Saturday afternoon, Augaist 3rd. The de- ceased was a comparatively young woman. Her death was owing to premature child -birth, and was unexpected. Her case only assum- ing a serious phase on tho day of her death. 'Wo are, sure that the hearts of our people will go out in sympathy to Mr. Wier and family u their irreparable loss. Tne funeral took place Monday after- noon and was largely attended. CLERICAL WIT.—A commercial traveller, since the elevation of Bishop Walsh of London to the Archbishopric of Toronto, is remind- ed of an occurrence some years ago in a railway car in which his present Lordship took part. An irreverent traveller asked Bishop Walsh, possibly not knowing who he was, if ho had not heard that in Paris as often as a priest waa hanged a donkey was hanged at the same thno, The proposed victim of the joke replied in the blandest possible manner : "Well, then,let us' both e thankful that we are not in aris." Mn. JOHN 0. ELLIOTT'S patent rail fence is taking like hot cakes in Nissouri county. We have seen a letter froin an active, well.to•do farmer there stating that with several men assisting him, during the summer, he had all he could do putting up this fence. 'This gentle- man says it is a boon to farmers, so muck cheaper and better than wire fences, and he will rent his farm next season and devote hia whole time to putting it up for farmers. Some slight inprovements have been made in the mode of erecting it, and he claims that it is the best and chedpest fence now in 1180. Town Parliament. Regular session Monday night.

Min.' ieter of Public Works, Reeve Mc- Muroliy, reported all work ordered by council as completed except gravelling and crossing at Dr. Williams and crossing at market. These were delayed owing to diffi- culty in getting stone. The amount expended on streets this year was $835, leaving $365 unexpended, The leader of the Left Centre, Mr. Searle, called the attention of the Minister of Public Works to repairs needed on Rattenburry St. He expected t� be refused as the head of the departthent had a will of his own ` and generelly ruled against his, Mr. S's, suggestions. But the repairs were much needed and would not cost inuch. Mr. Mc - Murchie admitted that ho had 32 applications for such repairs within a abort time. But if he allowed ()yeti ono to run his department the council would have to double the appropriation thoy had made.

DEAR Sin, -In your last issue a cor. respondent aconites the Orangemen of Winghatn of' political prejudice in not inviting Dr. Macdonald to ad- dress them on the 121h of July. As chairman of the cotntnittee appoint. ed to secure speakers for that occa- sion and also as Master ot the Lede, 1 presutne I am the party aimed at. Before I begin I would ask your °or. respondent to explain why nona of the leading Orangemen of East Huron were asked to speak at the anti - Jesuit meeting in the Presbyterian church? If partiality in this respect has been shown, we think Dr. Mac- donald and his friends have been the first to begin it. Besides, the Orangemen would be responsible for what might be said on their' behalf on the platform on the 12th ofJulyr and they could not yet trust Dr. Macdonald who for the last twenty yeara has been sneering at and ridi• culling the Order, and the murder of Thomas Scott ; advocating the use of a mutilated Bible in our publio schools, Home Rule for Ireland, coin. tnereial surrender of Canada to the United States, and, in fact, anything and everything that would tend to the disintegration of that great bul.

In regard, to his vote in thu House, which it is thought should cover a multitude of sins, we do not think there isa single Jesuit in Dr, Mao slonalds • constituency. He distill. guishes between Jesuits and Catho. lies, and we understand there are only about eighty Catholic voters. Wa think, therefore, as he is the representative of an Orange constitu• ency, we were quite justified in waiting for further evidence of his sincerity before giving him too numb credit for sacrificing an ibaitginary Jesuit vote for the purpose of gaining those of hundreds of Orangemen and their sympathisers. If he had repres sented a Roman Catholic constity- ency and had taken his politfcal life in his hand and gone down to, politi- cal death like a true martyr, instead of trying to make political capital and gain votes, we might have had some faith in his sincerity, but as it now stand a he evidently expected to become a leader and a spokesman for the Orangemen and at the same time keep himself right with his Roman Catholic friends by the Jesu- itical excuse that the end justifies the means and that he is not oppos. ed to them, but only to the Jesuits. The fact is that the Orangemen aro now nearly tired of the whole breed of the Macdonalds from the highest down, down, through many grades, even to the member for East Huron, and we are partioularly tired of their attempts to succeed in the wonderful circus performance of rid- ing two horses at one time, ne Orange and The 'Green. If Peter has really become converted in his old days and Is now, as your corress pondent says, in accord with the Orangemen, let him acknowledge his former sins, come out as an inde- pendent poliician, cease to be a fols lower of the Roman Catholic Laurier, ask forgiveness of the members of the Order whom he and his friends have wronged and maligned, assist the Orangemen and the Equal Rights Association to rid the country of the rule of Messrs. Fraser, Mowat, Ross, the Ontario allies and bosom friends of Mr. Mercier, the Reform Premier of Quebec, ond the amthos of the Reform measure known as the Jesu- its' Estates Act; prove himself an noneet man and not a political tricks ster, join the Order, and he will find true friends among the Orangemen of Huron. But it may as well be understood now that we do not Wish as our spokesman a political chame- leon composed of a strange mixture of tricolor, Star Spangled Banner, Orange and Green.
