1 PLEAD NOT GUILTY.
The story circulated so freely last
week in reference to something terri-
ble that I had done, is in keeping with
.}yarns that were told last spring and
summer, about taking back my store,
stories told to gain sympathy and
without any regard for the truth.
When 1 have to resort to mean or un-
gentlemanly acts in my business ca•
paeity, I hope I'll have sense enough
to step down and out.

WINOHAM OPERA HOUSE. APRIL, 30.
Of Madame O'Brien the Belleville
Intelligenoer said ;--"Madame Bon.
vini O'Brien certainly exceeded all ex-
peetations. She sang Irish. Italian,
Scotch and English songs. Tho Caya-
tina "Una Voce, from the Barber of
Seville," being undonbtedly the best
number as well as of course the most
difficult. The Madame's technique is
superb, her voice liquid and powerful,
her method at once artistic and de-
lightful, while her perfect naturalness
and pleasing stage presence very
speedily hakes her a favorite. Local
Musicians who missed hearing her
missed a treat."
The Peterbaro Times says ;---"Prof.
O'Brien is the best known and the
most able authority on Palmistry and
. Phrenology that has ever lived in Ca-
nada."

Improvements.
Improvements are being made at
the Bell factory. Jenkins and Pugh
r
are building a
rld 6 brick connec:ifon be-
tween the two parts of the factory.
Material is also being laid on the
ground for a huge brick chimney,
seventy-five feet high. W. H. Green
will superintend the work.
Good Cattle.
On Saturday last, T. T, Field paid
J. T. Currie, least Wawanosh, $143.75
for seven steel's ; this was at the rate
of five cents a pound. The dollars ap-
pear to be rolling the farmers' way
just now, and butchers declare it is al-
most impossible to get suitable cattle
for the retail trade. Mr, Currie be-
lieves in good stock.
New Bank Building.
In this issue, 'builders are invited to
tender for the erection of the building
for the Canadian Bank of Commerce.
The plans and specifications may he
seen at the office of the Bank here up
to May 10th. The building will• be a
handsome one ; it will be 42 feet high
in front, handsome and imposing in
appearance. We understand the
front is to be of cut stone. It will be
built on the property secured by the
Bank, nearly opposite the Macdonald
Block.
S. Gracey has been appointed Sole

Smallpox in Huron.
A serious outbreak of smallpox,
totally uncared and unreported to the
health authorities, has been discover-
ed in Huron county, in the townships
of Hay and Stephen. The provincial
authorities became suspicious last
week and being able to secure no
authentic information from local
sources, sent Provincial Inspector Dr.
Bell up to investigate. He states that
in the two townships indicated there
are 60 cases of the most malignant
character. One death has already oc-
curred in the village of Dashwood.
Many of the patients have never been
seen by a physician and are in a very
dangerous condition.
Burned Out.
Last Wednesday night, there was a
disastrous fire in Port Elgin, that
destroyed the Muir block. Among
those who lost heavily was John Pat-
tison, formerly of Wingham. The
fire was discovered in the evening
about 10 o'clock in an adjoining shop,
and the flames soon enveloped the
block, so that comparatively nothing
was saved. Mr. Pattison had a stock
of furniture and wall -paper worth
probably $3,500, on which there was
$2,000 insurance. As the stock was
totally destroyed, the loss will be
heavy, especially to a young man not
long started in business. We under-
stand that Mr. Pattison intends com-
mencing again.
C. P. R. Surveyors.
The C.P.R. Engineer and surveyors
were here last week taking measure-
inents again, along the river bank
south of Town, from the Salt Block
towards the Belgrave road. They al-
so took the measurements of the lots.
and buildings belonging to H. Hicks,
Wrn. Field, Mr. Linklater and others.
They are very reticent and give no in-
formation and as
we are not in thei
confidence, we can not say what it
means, but our readers are at liberty
to draw their own conclusions, and
watch for developments. As we said
two weeks ago, don't be surprised if
you see a ridding up at the south end
before a year passes, and changes
numerous taking place.

First Half Of May.
Prof. Hicks reports that the astrono-
mic outlook for May suggests the pro-
bability of many heavy storms in
nearly all sections. Regular storm
period prevails from 1st to 3rd, with
rain, wind and thunder in some locali-
ties ; in northern sections unseason-
able cold, with possible sleet and
snow. Decided storm conditions will
cross the country about 6th, 7th and
8th. A regular storm period also pre-
vails froth 10th to 15th, central on
12th. The moon is in conjunction
with Earth and Sun, making this
period a time of earth shakes, within
two days of the 12th. Watch 12th,
13th, 14th as central dates of severe
storm probabilities in many localities,
Warm humid atmosphere with low
barometer and south winds should
cause apprehension in the gathering
of storm Clouds, These are the pro-
babilities (much condensed) for the
first half of the month ; those for the
last half will be given later.
Faithful Service Acknowledged.
Mr. Dixie Watson (a former resident
of Wingham), who has been for twen-
ty-five years Clerk of the Supreme
Court at Regina, has retired from ac-
tive service, and the Provincial Legis-
lature has voted him $2,500. It is un-
derstood that Mr. Watson is accepting
A. position where the duties are not so
heavy, as the Government is anxious
for him to remain in the public service
as long as possible, The Regina Stan-
dard says :—"Mr. Watson has been
closely identified with the history of
the city' from its inception, and inter-
esting are the tales of the early life in
Regina lie can tell. Ile was one of the
first to encourage good toads for the
city, and in the early days of the town
he and A. J. Fraser, then Dominion
Lands agent, ploughed up what is
now Scarth street thororrgltfare, to
make traffle there feasible." Citizens
of Wingham, Who remember its early
days, will be pleased to hear of their
former fellow -citizen.

There has been ncuch talk about
saving money by burning ashes nixed
with coal and treated with a solution
of salt and water. The city of Toron-
to made a teat of the matter, and
found that in order to produce the
beat necessary, it was more expensive
than using all coal. A citizen of
Wingharn has tried it, and while he
succeeded in consuming the ashes, he
reports very little heat resulting.

In Her Fifteenth Year.
Mr. and Mrs. Wtn. Baird, of Turn -
berry, were called last week to pass
through the sadness of bereavement,
by the death of their third daughter,
Matilda. Deceased ed hacl been in fail-
ing health for several months, but
lately it was seen that disease had
gained such a hold upon her system,
that hope of recovery was vain. She
bore her sufferings with patience and
resignation, and on Wednesday, 17th
inst., she passed away. She was in
her fifteenth year, and will be missed
in the home. The funeral took place
on Sunday afternoon and was very
largely attended ; Rev. T. S, Boyle
conducted the service.
Drowned In Cistern.
On Wednesday afternoon last, just
after we had gone to press, one of the
saddest of bereavements clouded the
home of Mr. and Mrs. P. Tansley, of
town. At noon, in the home all was
peaceful and the family ate their din-
ner as usual. Before the middle of
the afternoon, the death of a bright
boy, Peter Carroll, aged five years,
plunged
the household into nto deepest
grief. The little boy was in the habit
of playing around, and early in the
afternoon Mrs. Tansley looked around
to see where he was ; not finding him,
she enquired of the neighbors, and
finally the little boy' was found in the
cistern which is dangerously near the
back door. As quickly as possible
medical aid was summoned, and every
effort possible was made to resuscitate
him, but without avail. Mr. and Mrs.
Tansley most keenly feel the pressure
of the bereavement that has clouded
their lives and taken from them a
bright, interesting child. The funeral
took place on Friday, Rev, D. Perrie
conducting the service.

Spring is very late ; very little seed-
ing is done yet. Mostly all the new
clover has perished.
There were 8 carloads of rock elm
square timber shipped from the G. T.
R. station last week.
Rev. Baker of Bluevale ably sup-
plied the Methodist pulpit last Sunday
in the absence of Rev. Rivers,
Quite a number of the Ladies' Aid
gathered at the parsonage last week
and papered three rooms and carpeted
one.
Air, C, W. Lawrence and daughter,
Mrs. Best, of Buffalo, are visiting vela-
tives and friends in and around Bel -
grave.
Mrs. J. T. Brydges is seriously ill
and Nurse King is attending her ; we
trust she will soon regain her usual
health.
Mrs. Caesar, who has been under
quarantine for r abou
t four weeks ow-
ing w
ing to scarlet fever in the house, is
likely to be liberated this week.
The excavation for the now school
house is done, and material is being
rapidly laid down, so that the con-
tractor can go on with his work.
For some reason, robins are not so
plentiful this spring as usual ; possibly
cold weather has something to do
with it or they may have been shot
or destroyed last season. Spare the
little robin redbreast; of all the birds
they are the best.
Mr. and Mrs. Archie Brydges ex-
perienced an exciting little runaway
last Saturday. While turning at
Sproat's corner, the horse took fright
at some obstruction on the side of the
road, but fortunately the spirited ani-
mal was brought under control with-
out harm.
Will. Cole and Percy Scandrett
have engaged for the season two
bright young men, Harold and Stan-
ley Appleton of London, England.
The boys are apparently well pleased
with the country and the customs of
the people ; just such young men we
want here on the farm.
There passed away in Morris, near
Belgrave, on Saturday the 20th, Fran-
ces Shaw, beloved wife of John Bell.
She had been a resident of Morris for
about 25 years, Deceased was born
in the county of Wexford, Ireland, 67
years ago, and was married to her sur-
viving husband, who deeply mourns
her demise, in the year 1864. She was
of a kind-hearted disposition, ever
ready to help those in need, and in re-
ligion was a Methodist. Few women
have been more beautiful
examples
of
supreme devotion than Mrs. Bell.
Numerous trials never broke her spirit
nor caused her to lose hope. She was
always cheerful and tried to encour-
age others, and was a friend to every-
body—the
aged the poor, the weak
and the strong. She was a Christian
of humble type. While others might
speak with assurance of their right-
eous lives, she felt conscious of un-
worthiness, but if the greatest of
Christian graces is love, she will stand
in the front ranks in Heaven. She
was the mother of thirteen children,
and only four survive her—John, of
the homestead ; Charlie, in the em-
ploy of the G. T. R.; Mrs. McGee of
Bluevale, and Mary at home. De-
ceased also leaves three brothers and
two sisters—Robert, Thos. and Wm.
Shaw ; Mrs. Barr and Mrs. Campbell,
all of Michigan. They will all cherish
kind recollections of their departed
mother and sister. The funeral was
conducted on Monday, 22nd, by the
Rev. Bnrwash of Wingham, and her
pastor, Rev. G. W. Rivers, B. A., of
Belgrave. The funeral was largely
attended, the remains being laid to
rest in the Brandon cemetery,
