Child Missing.
Considerable excitement was caused
on Wednesday by the absence of a
little girl named Miller, about ten
years of age, who lived with her
grandparents at the north end of the
town. So far as we can learn, the
child was first missed on Tuesday
evening, and her skipping rope was
found on the C. P. R. railway bridge,
over the river. On Wednesday, in-
quiry was made at the school, but up
to the hour of going to press (Wednes-
day afternoon) we have no word of
the child being found, but it is sup-
posed she will turn up at some friend's
home.

26 Cattle Burned.
At midnight on Saturday last, fire
destroyed the barn and annexed sheds
belonging to Geo. Brooks, a fanner of
Huron township, three miles north of
Ripley, The fire is surrounded with
mystery, following, as it does, several
other losses by fire, the origin of
which in every case was equally as
difficult to determine. Mr. Brooks
and family were startled from their
sleep a few minutes before 12 o'clock
to find the barn enveloped in flames.
So far had the blaze advanced before
it was discovered, that only two
horses were saved from destruction.
The entire remaining stock, number-
ing twenty-six head of cattle, three
horses and All farming implements,
together with many tons of hay and a
quantity of feed were consumed. The
loss is estimated at $2,500, insured in
Culross Mutual Fire Company for $1,-
800,
Brought Home For Burial.
Mr. and Mrs. P. Porterfield of East
Wawanosh are in deep sorrow. They
received a message from Omaha, on
Saturday, stating that their nr eldest
son, Peter, was dead. At time of
writing, no particulars are at, hand,
but as the deceased was conductor on
a freight train, it is possible that an
accident was the cause of his death.
Mr. Porterfield was 41 years of age
and was unmarried. The remains
were brought home for interment; his
brother, also of Omaha, came home at
the same time. The bereaved parents
and other relatives receive sincerest
sympathy.
Meat Advances. •
Butchers report cattle very scarce
and those fit for slaughter, very hard
to get. Their customer's are now be-
ing impressed with the fact in a prac-
tical manner, by the advance in prices,
the best cuts now reaching the 14 cent
notch. How long the present prices
will rule, is not known, but wholesale
dealers look for no reduction for at
least, six weeks, and probably longer.
What you cut off around the bone of
a fifty cent roast will not now satisfy
a very large family for Sunday dinner
and leave enough for the tithe -honored
"hash" on Monday. Now watch the
run on eggs, until it is suspected that
the hens have got in the habitof lay-
ing stale and ancient fruit, for the
genuine fresh article.
Witranee examinations to High
Schools will be held commencing on
June 28. The legal teaching days for

A Wingham Boy,
The following front the Guelph
Dally Herald has reference to one of
Wingham boys, a son of Mr. and. Mrs.
Allan Galbraith of town ; it shows
that our boys are made of the right
kind of material to work themselves
up into good positions, ' The Herald
says --"Mr. Robt. Galbraith, who, on
Saturday evening, severed his connec-
tion with the Frank Dowler Co., alter
a service of over nine years, was the
recipient of a handsome suit ease uta a
parting gift from the other employees
of the store and as a token of the high
esteem in which they hold him. Mr,
Galbraith leaves to eeeept a more
responsible position with the Win.
Gordon Co., Chatham. His unfailing
courtesy in business and his genial
and friendly manner, when off duty,
have won for bitn a host of friends
who will always be interested in bis
welfare, and who will always joy in
any success that he may reap,"

An Able Lecture.
Those who heard. the lecture deliv-
ered on Monday evening, by Rev. E.
E. Scott of Galt, under the auspices of
the Epworth League, enjoyed an in-
tellectual treat. The subject—"Can-
ada, the Land of the Maple," is attrac-
tive to every lover of his eountry, and
in the hands of a patriotic Canadian,
as well as forceful and eloquent speak-
er, was not only instructive, but in-
tensely interesting. The speaker be-
gan by unfolding the immense area of
our home -land ,consideredi
• he then its
resources, in its fisheries, its mineral
wealth (in gold especially,) its illimita-
ble coal areas as yet practically un-
touched, and its amazing forest area.
The incalculable wealth of British Co-
lumbia in these things was shown by
a wonderfully concise presentation of
interesting statistics. Canada's agri-
cultural possibilities were dilated upon
and the incoming millions of popula-
tion pictured. Her water privileges
and commercial highways received at-
tention and the future prosperity of
our Canadian home was beautifully
presented. The speaker brought the
'unexcelled scenery of Canada to the
eye of the mind by a realistic trip by
the C. P. R. through the Rookies, tak-
ing itis audience with hint as he skirt-
ed. the ;nouitain stream, wound
"'upend the mountain base, climbed
by means of circuitous ways and in-
numerable curves, until the snow-
capped heights were reached, and
then descended into the valley, where
verdure abundant gave evidence of
the genial climate. As a rule, lectures
are dry affairs, and many of the best
have their arid spots, but to the welter
there was not a dry paragraph in this,
The lecturer closed by considering the
futtu'e of Canada—Annexation, Inde-
pendence, or Imperial Federation.
Here, there was no uncertain sound,
and the loyal references to the Old

roused the patriotism -of the listeners.
That the audience was captivated by
the speaker, was evident from the fre-

waterworks. So that, it does not ap-
pear to us that there should be any
material increase in taxation, and
alarm from that source should not
prove a barrier to the progress of our
town,
The property -ateliers, however, have
the matter in their own hands, and
should consider every proposition
carefully, before deciding as to whe-
ther they shall oppose it or not.
REMOVAL.—About April 15th I ex-
pect to remove my Tailoring establish-
ment to the store formerly occupied
by Tudho e's grocer y, opposite the
Bank of Hamilton. Until then we do
business in the old. stand, A brand
new stock of goods for Spring. Young
maxi wanted to learn the tailoring.—
ROAT, MAXWELL, Tailor.
On Friday evening, a public meeting
was held in the Council Chamber. It
was called by Mayor Bell to consider
once more the question of a trunk
sewer, etc.
There was not a large attendance,
but those present were a fair represen-
tation of the business and heavy tax-
paying portion of the residents of our
town. On account of sickness, the
Advance reporter was not able to be
present, hence cannot give the argu-
ments
u-
nents advanced, but so far as we can
ascertain, there was no pronounced
opposition to the progressive pleasure
contemplated. In fact, a majority of
those present were in favor of action
being taken. This was evidenced by
a resolution' passed, authorizing the
Council to submit a By-law for the
construction of a system of water-
works, and also for the building of a
trunk sewer down Josephine street.
The situation, as we see it, is this :—
A large quantity of water collects in
the north end of the town. The drain
that has carried this off is an expen-
sive one, and its usefulness scents to
have terminated, mid a new drain
seems to be a necessity ; this means a
considerable expenditure. Then, the
Mune of the fire proteetion water-
works is decaying, and its renewal is
matter that mist not be neglected,
lest our fire protection collapse, and
leave us subject to a disastrous con-
flagration.
The question that presents itself
then, is this :--•Is it wise to expend a
large amount of money le providing
temporary drainage, and renewal of
flume, etc., when by the expenditure
of an additional sunt not too large, we
might have a trunk sewer, es the ini-
tial of a much-needed server system,
and a system. of waterworks that
would furnish water for domestic pur-
poses as well as flee protection.
As the Connell is likely to take the
matter up itt aecorlanee with the re-
solution passed on Friday evening, the
levied is once more before the people
t>f Wingham. It is well in tlisettasiug
it to remember
1 ----The town now owns tL power ;Is -
tent quite sufficient for All purposes,
and that power is lying idle all day,
when it might he etttployed in pump-
ing water to a standpipe, and furnish
pot only fire protection but water for
domestic purposes.
It .if a waterworks system were M-
etalled, the enema received 1>y the
town for water front the present sup-
ply foe mill power tatght be consiciera-
