leasing the imprisoned digit, the

The City of Windsor was in port
on Wednesday. Slie left about 4
p.m. for the north, but had not
proceeded far before the violence
of the storm caused her return to

' -'An Wednesday evening about 8
p. m. the fire alarm sounded and
soon a large number of people were
following the hose reel to St.
Andrews ward, where the house
owned by Mrs. J. S. Videan was
discovered to be in full blaze. The
hose was soon laid, and, though a
couple breaks somewhat delayed
proceedings, the fire was soon under
control. The building was consid-
erably damaged, and though the
destruction caused by a former
fire had not been entirely repaired,
the loss was considerable. The
origin of the outbreak is again un•
known, although there is a supposi-
tion that in each case it occurred
through some defect in the kitchen
- chimney.

DUNGANNON FALL FAIR.
Dnngannon.
Mrs. Adrian Disher is at present
visiting at Ridgeway, her former
home.
-The Misses Thompson arrived
home this week from an extended
visit to Listowel and other places.
Mr. Geo. Walker and Mr. Wig
gins, of Gerrie, wore the guests of
Mr. Jas. Walker of this town Wed-
nesday and Thursday last.
The Methodists of this place in-
tend holding their annual harvest -
home supper, Thanksgiving day the
12th of November, in the uew agri-
cultural hall, which will be nicely
decorated for the occasion. They
intend having a first -cines concert in
connection.
Thos: Durnin, of this village,
came very near losing a valuable
horse un Friday morning by it get-
ting its head caught in the feed box.
Its efforts to liberate itself aroused
Mr, D— who came to the rescue in
time, and with an axe split the box
and saved its life.
Last Wednesday and Thursday
ware interesting days at Dungannon.
Judging by the exhibits in the hall,
the ladies of that section must be
possessed of their full share of
maiden and house -wifely qualities
whether taken in connection with
the production of the ornamental or
useful prodycts of brain and hands.
while in the varied exhibits of
grain, fruit, roots and vegetables it
was quite manifest that the tillers
of the soil had tickled mother earth
so that she laughed and grew fat
over her embarrastnent of riches in
those lines. There was a splendid
exhibit of horses, cattle and other
animals, about as creditable a one as
we saw at any of the county fairs
and that is no small praise. There
was a large number of visitors on
Thursday though the day did not
promise well in the early morning
and considerable moisture prevailed
towards evening. There was quite
a number of people from Goderich,
including M. C. Cameron, M. P.,
J. T. Ga,, -,w, M. P. P., D. Mc
Donald, 1l. i:. Strachan ; James
Stewart and -elvers' employees of
the Ogilvie hee mill. Brass bands
and other - evening proceedings
varied the a: 1 actions of the day.
We were ini • :sed by some of the
directors that ee entries were more
numerous that, in any former year
and judging by the attendance it
should prove a financial as well as
a competitive and industrial suc-
cess. Major Mallough by the wit,
he served up rations for the hungry
visitors showed anything but a man
destroying disposition.
Now that the "greatest" fair of the
west riding of Huron is over and
everythiug is quieted down again, I
will try and give you a little idea
of what it was like. In the first
hinge Wednesday, the fleet day, was
rather disagreeable with some heavy
showers at intervals. Still the ex-
hibitors rushed their exhibits in
through rain and sunehine and by
noon the large agricultural hall was
without space, being filled in every
department. The rain continued
throughout the afternoon and eve-
ning, which kept a great many away
in the evening. Them Thursday
morning opened out cloudy—but
dry and cold—still notwithstanding
the threatening clouds the people
cane from each point of the compass
until our village was justabout filled
to its utmost capacity. Amon g the
notables to be eeen through the large
crowd on the fair ground were Mr.
Garrow, M.P P.. Mr. Cameron, M.
P., Joaeph Beck, County Warden,
Mr. Whitely, of THE Huame News -
RECORD, Jaynes Somerville, ex.M.P.
end many others. The outside ex-
hibit never was better, and compe-
tition was keen. There being in
the heavy draughts six competitors
and in the general purpoao five, 16
in the two year-olds, and in the
other classes the competition was
equally keen, making it,very diffi-
cult for the judges to decide which
should get the red ticket in many
cases. The lady drivers class had 8
competitors, and the races were
very interesting and all filled. The
Lucknow brass band, under the
management of H. Pierce, added
greatly to the pleasure of the day
and evening by rendering fine music
and lots of -it. Words of praise
could be heard from all quarters
as to their choice selections, and
they in return say mine host, Wm.
Glazier of the Commercial, treated
them to a sumptuous dinner and
supper.

CURRENT TOPICS.
ONE STATE'S LOSS.
Governor Campbell, of Ohio, who
is now running for a second term
against McKinley, author of the
hill of the same name, a few days
ago said :
"Farm lands in Ohio as aaseased
in 1880, with subsequent improve-
ments added, should be worth $725,-
642,254. Their aaseased value now,
as recently equalized, is $627,278,•
974. This shows a net loss in assess-
ment on faro, property in ten years
of $98,363,380. But as this pro,
perty is assessed at an average of
about 40 per cent, upon its actual
value, the depreciation in 10 years
was $245,908,200."

THE MAN WITH A LANTERN.
After nightfall, along the 3,000
miles of the Canadian Pacific rail,
way, no matter how bare the prairie,
nor how wild or desolate the mount=
tain or lake shore, anyone standing
on the reur platform can see every
few miles a lantern in the hands of a
track walker, who, after the train
passes, resumes his duty along the
track. It is a rule on this road
that after the passage of each train
the roadway shall be carefully in -
',peeled, and partizularly the bridges
for fear that some spark from the
locomotive may have set fire to
them. Along hundreds of miles be-
tween Ottawa and Winnipeg, over
the prairies of Aesiniboia and Al-
berta, and through the mountain
rages far west, the humble hut of
the railway track repairer or guard
is often • the only human habitation
that is seen for long stretches.—
