Our readers will remember the burn.
lug of the `Stanley barn and its con-

ed on the charge of incendiarism, the
act having been immediately traced to

Tett in Walkerton last week, and ac-
quitted on the ground of insanity, and
an order was made committing him to
the asylum.
New Fuel.
Messrs. H. and W. H. Blinker of
Lisle are the inventors of a unique
machine for converting straw into
wood or fuel. The machine rolls the
straw so tightly that it is as tough as a
stick of timber. The product, used as
fuel, is much cheaper than either
wood or coal, and gives an intense
heat, at the same time holding the
fire much longer than wood, Messrs.
Bunker have entered into a contract
with Mr. T. M, Brown for the:'manu-
facture of a' number of machines, and
will begin the manufacture of fuel in
the near future.
The Messrs, Kerr are having the
front of their store painted afresh.

Advance. His daughter, Miss Annie,
accompanied him. Mr. Hall is a mem-
ber of the firm of Bywater & Hall, of
the Arthur Enterprise, and was in
Arthur Saturday and Monday, looking
after his interests there.
So many of our fears are groundless.
Nearly everyone predicted a very . 1
heavy spring flood, on account of the
great depth of snow, and indeed the
appearances favored such a prediction.
It has turned out, that the water has
not risen as high as it has other years.
The snow, so far, has gone gently and
gradually, and the danger point is
nearly passed.

A Great Age.
Our Balmer° correspondent gives an
account of the death of two aged per.
sons, perhaps the oldest in the county,
Mr.. and Mrs, Malloy of Turnberry,
the one aged 00, the other 101. For
many years, they travelled life's
journey together, and death came to
each within a few days, for Mr.
Malloy died on Friday and his wife
on the following Monday, See Bel.

Perfectly Safe.
One of the expected baler experts
turned up on Friday last, and
thoroughly examined the boiler at
the public school. We understand
that he pronounced it all right and I
perfectly safe. This corroborates the
report of Inspector of the Boiler In-
surance Co., so that if any fears had
arisen, they way now be set at rest.
The Trustees did their duty in the
matter.

Farm Sold. -
Mr. Geo. Henderson has sold his
farm on the Bluevale road, near
Wingbam, to James Fowler, posses-
sion to be given June 1st,, The farm
Contains eighty acres, well situated,
and is a desirable property. The price
paid was $0,000. Mr, Henderson in-
tends n erecting a residence in town
during the corning summer. His auc-
tion sale is dated Saturday, April
18th 1 seep notice elsewhere and bills.
We shall be pleased to welcome Mr.

For grafting.
The following mixture is considered
the standard grafting wax :-4 ib.
rosin, 2 lb. beeswax, '1 lb. tallow.
Melt these together, stirring carefully.
Pour the mixture Into a pail of cold
water. Grease the hands and pull
this mixture as yon would taffy at a
taffy pull until it Is fairly white and
smooth. In order to use this in the
field in cold weather, it is best to
carry it in a pail of warm water. Men
who do considerable grafting have a
small stove for the grafting wax some-
thing like the stove used for boiling
glue.
A Quartette.
On Saturday last, a Leicester ewe
belonging to Jas. B, Gray, near Bine-
vale, gave birth to four lambs, and all
are living. This is considered a rare
occurrence. as the birth of triplets is
seldom exceeded. Like the early rob-
ins, the early lambs will feel the
severity of the winter that still re-
mains as if sorry to leave us. In this.
case, the "winds are not always tempe
ered to the shorn lambs." As the ewe
referred to could not raise her large
family unaided, t d, a friendly cow is in
the meantime supplying two of the
ambs with hot meals.
EVERYBODY NOTE THIS.
We are in the Wood and Coal busi-
ness on a Large scale ; no more scar-
city ; blockades or strikes, won't affect
the stock we intend to carry. We
can get the fuel and in any quantity.
2000 tons of coal, 5000 cords of wood r
delivered in any quantity as you may
desire. Farmers, don't be afraid to
buy coal stoves, because yon'lI always
be sure of gettingcoal when you
want it. We shasoon quote prices,
and these will be good for twelve
nionths—no raise of prices when a
blockade or strike conies. Wait for
our quotations and deal at Wing -
ham's mammoth Coal and Wood
Supply yard. Don't be deluded with
the notion that we can't get good
coal and plenty of it, Money will al-
ways buy goods and the best in the
market too, Just keep your eye on
our Coal and Wood Yard when you
want f uol,-- iiV, H. Green.

Late Snowfalls. .
Those who have made note of the
weather give the following dates of
late snowfalls ;—ln 1850 and 1832 there
were snow flurries as late as May 20.
In 1850 there was snow on May 30, and
in 1859 the natural product for which
Canada, is justly famous fell as late as
the 4th clay of the leafy month of
June. In 1805 and 1900 it snowed on
May 14, These were for the most
part merely flurries ; in 1875 on May
Day there was a fall ,of three inches.
Last year there was one inch on the
same day. The heaviest snowfall for
the winter just passing away, is re-
ported Froin Rocklyn, Grey County,
which had 168 inches (13 feet inches);
8augeen came next with 128 inches,
and Owen Sound with 111 inches.
An Innovation.
Last Sunday, the ladies in the
Methodist Choir appeared in their
places without their hats. The ladies
generally regard this departure as
"outrageous," We admit it was rath-
er. hard on them, especially when ft
was Easter, and being such a "lovely"
day; in fact no better could have
been chosen for a flrat•olass millinery
display and no more prominent posi-
tion could be imagined. But, joking
aside, we realty think it an improve-
ment. ent. When fifteen or twenty ladies,
wearing as many varieties of fantastic
shapes and colors appear together, the
eftect on the beholder is not always
pleasing. Tho same remark applies to
dress. What might be perfectly be-
coming to one, when alone, looks hl -
together different when side by side
with something elle of en incongruous
color. hence the advantage of a
eyrtilict'. 4 gentleman in Wingham

THE BY-LAW CARRIED.
Considerable intereet was taken on
Tuesday, in the passage of the Bylaw
authorizing the loan of $10,000 to
Messrs, Walker & Clegg, of the Up-
holstering factory, for the extension
of their business, Business rnen, pri-
vate citizens and even the young peo-
ple, all having an interest in the pro-
gress of our town, ;evidenced a desire
to see the By -taw carried, and put
forth effort accordingly, The vote
was as follows;—
warm lean AGAINST
1 50
2
3 ....,...,, 0 1
4 113 3
Total 311 8
The extremely small negative vote
of 8 shows that the proposition was
favorably regarded by the large ma-
jority of the property -holders. Possi-
bly, had the firm been strangers, or
the Industry a mere experiment, the
Bylaw might not bane been so well
supported. But, with a well-known
and reliable firm and a prosperous in-
dustry long past its experimental
stage, the property -holders felt per-
fectly safe in giying the proposition
their loyal support.
Messrs, Walker & Clegg feel grate-
ful to the people of Wingham for the
interest they manifested in having
them remain in the town and for the
assistance granted to aid them in the
development of their business, also for
the willing and active support given
to the By-law on Tuesday last. The
Advance is authorized to say that the
citizens of Wingham shall have no
reason to regret having so nobly sup-
ported the By-law. It is the intention
of Walker & Clegg to faithfully. carry
out the details of their agreement with
the town. Preparations have already
begun for the erection of the buildings
and work will be commenced imme-
diately ; in fact this is a necessity, if
the new premises are to be ready for
occ, nancy by July, when the lease
expires with the Canada B tirniture
Manfrs, 250,000 bricks have already
been purchased as a commencement
of the work. The buildings will be of
a substantial character and this of
itself is a guarantee of the permanence
of the industry.
The Advance strongly advocated
the passage of the By-law, believing
it to be for the best interests of the
toren. Hence, we are pleased to see
the effort successful. We also hope to
see the enterprise grow and develop
beyond the most sanguine expecta-
tions.

Rev. R. Paul of Brussels preached in

last, morning and evening. Rev. D.
Perrie was ill. -

subjects for the occasion. The congre-

of the late Mr. Sills, who was enperin-
tondcnt of the Sehogl for a nutrlbor of

Tho sefviees at St, Penns church last
Sunday were bright and interesting,
'there were good congregations, both
morning and evening, notwithstanding
the bird roads, which prevented the
members from the country attending.

the Communion was larger than on any

—The Advance has beon receiving
considerable notice recently from some
of the Liberal papers in the county.
To the aid of the Clinton New Era
rallied the Goderlch Signal and the
Wingham Times. It is bat fair to the
latter, however, to say, that it added
nothing new to the Controversy, but to
relieve itself of the ache to "hit the
Advance," it merely repeated (parrot-
like) what the other fellows wrote.
—The desperate character known as
"Texas," recently arrested in London,
wben his pal was shot, "broke" jail on
Tuesday last. He was to have been
tried on Wednesday, but the day previ-
ous he managed to get hold of a poker,
disabled the turnkey, seized the keys
and made his escape. As the officials
were in close pursuit, they hoped to cap-
ture him and had surrounded a piece of
woods in which he had taken refuge,
but he is still at brae,

—Last week, our cotem., the Wing -

bitter squib against the Advance. For
the information of our readers, we may
say that the article referred to was
written in Clinton (or Ottawa) and sent
to Wingham by mail, so that it might
appear in the Times and New Era the
same week. Great scheme, isn't it, to
crush the Advance? And yet this jour-

—The editor of the Clinton New Era
is very angry. He decidedly objects to
the Winnipeg Tribune being regarded
as a Liberal paper. One thing is posi-
tively certain—it is not Conservative.
Possibly since the editor refused to
swallow every dose prepared by the
party bosses, and was therefore read out

of its testimony in this case, one 'whit.
The editor of the Tribune declares he is
a Liberal (and he ought to know) and
we accept his word, Mr. Holmes to the
contrary, notwithstandiu 4e. Mr. Holmes'
tirade against the Advance seems to
have simmered down to the objection
above noted. Keep cool Bro. Holmes;
when you are trying to "forget some of
those things" that we reminded you of
don't forget the old saying—"'Whom

—Rural mail delivery in the United
States is rapidly covering the country,
A correspondent of the St. Mary's Jour-
nal, writing from Bristol, Tonn„ says
that with the exception of Alaska, Ha-
waii and Porto Rico, there is rural free
delivery in every state and territory in
the United States. Why do not Cana -
(lieu politicians copy the example of our
Amertonn cousins and introduce the
system in Canada. Generally Speaking,
it would be more useful to the people at
largo, than expensive public buildings in
cities and towns; these are often erected
as political favors or as bribes to con-
stituencies Money has been spent on
so-ealied harbors, where nature never
intended there should be a harbor, and
where there is really no necessity for
one. Thousands of dollars hero been
thus wasted, that might have been used
in introducing rural mail delivery, that
would Wive provt d n boort to the people.
To show how the postal revenue hi -
creases under the rural delivery syetew,
the correspondent referred to, states that
a carrier lei his first Month, three years
ago, carried 1,800 pieces, acid now ho
carries 5,200.
