intend to put in a window on the side,
"Which will materially improve their

PROPERTY CHANGE—Mayor Doherty
has disposed of his handsome residence
and grounds to Mr G. D. McTaggart,
banker, for the sum of $4,000. Rumor
litotes that the purchaser will be znar-
ried to a lady of Morrisburg, and will
occupy the premises himself. He has
certainly secured a very desirable resi-
dence.
• ENGLISH BARLEY.—Certain fanners
in this section, who have tried to grow
two -rowed barley suitable for the
English market, are getting disgusted
with the experiment, and pronounce it
a failure so far as practical results are
concerned. We know one of the best
• and moOt enterprising farmers of this
sectionwho has given this grain a fair
• test, to be so thoroughly discouraged
by the result that he states he will
quit raising it entirely.
ATTEMPTED INCENDIARISM. — On
-Wednesday night a deliberate attempt
'was made to burn out the premises of
--Dr. Blackall. A couple of large bot-
tles, in which he kept chemicals, were
taken up a man -hole in the ceiling,
(which is wooden) and the contents,
with coal oil poured on and ignited.
After burning some time it fortunately
went out itself, and the matter was
only discovered when the bottles were
aaaissed and a searchinstituted for them.
6 A NOTABLE CONVERT.—We are ex-
ceedingly pleased to learn, from the
gentleman himself, that Mr Whitely,
of the News -Record, has joined the
ranks of total abstainers. While he is
still opposed to legislative prohibition,
• he has wisely determined on prohibi-
tion so far as he is personally concern-
ed. We have every assurance of his good
- faith in this matter and hope his ex-
ample will be followed by many others.
..We..Int.thectrust.tatat. te. optation—to
•deviate from this decision will not be
placed in his way.
BAD ACCIDENT—A brakeman, named
Ingram, on Conductor McKenzie's
train, on the G. T. R., met with a bad
accident at Mitchell, on Saturday
morning. While stepping from the
top of one car to another he missed
- • his footing and fell between them,
with his leg across the track, which
was so badly crushed by the wheel
that it had to be amputated at the
knee. Conductor McKenzie was at
the moment coupling the cars, and was
almost thrown on the track himself.
SOLD THE RIGHT. —SOMe time ago
Harland Bros disposed of the right for
their patent oil can for several of the
States of the American .Union, and on
Wednesday-they—eompleted- the- sale
for all the remaining States; even since
then they have had offers for other
States, but of course had to decline
them. They still hold their patent for
the old pountry, but owing to the con-
servative methods of doing business
there they have not yet made much ad-
vancement with it. We are glad to
know that they have done well by this
patent and aresatisfled with thdresulte,
though they have not realized that
..•• •iramense fortune supposed to be hidden
successful patente.

There is considerable speculation as to
who will be his successor. Some think
• that Mr John Cunningham, who has
oceasionally performed the duties of
the office, is entitled to it; he certainly
would make a good man for the place,
but as such things go by political favor,
he is not likely to get it. Our own
opinion is that it will -fall to the lot of
SUDDEN DEATH.— M en ti on was made
