A BLAZE.—Thursday evening last
'Mr S. Davis eat by the side of a stove
calmly reading the interesting news
always to he found in the columns of
the NEW ERA, when his wife moved
a kettle from the stove, and a flame
shot up and caught one corner of the
paper, Neither Mr nor Mrs Davis
noticed the incipient fire, which gra-
dually crept up the outspread sheet,
until "Si" was almost startled out of
his boots by seeing that the entire
paper was on fire. He vows that it
was the "hottest" NEW las he ever
handled.
A WOMAN ON' THE 1)IiIENR1VE.—
On Monday afternoon Constable Ted-
ford, acting under instructions of a
landlord's warrant, seized some house
hold furniture and had it hauled
away. Just as the team, with the
furniture, was about to enter a stable
where it was to be stored, the wife of
the man whose furniture it was,caught
one of the horses by the head, and
wauld not allow it.to gp. l'rging the
team caused the horse to rear up, and
the woman still held on, using her
tongue on the constable, meantime,
for all it was worth. Threats and
pleadings were in vain to persuade
her to release her bold upon the
horse's head, and it was only when
one of the by-standers took forcible
hold of her and pulled her away- that
the furniture was secured, and even
then she hit the party who was re-
taining her a clip in the face. The
woman thinks the law is too much
in favor of the landlord,
VITAL, FITA•IISICS.—From the re-
port of the registration of births,
marriages and deaths, for the year
1887, we make a few extracts. This
report is always n year behind, owing
to the difficulty of closing,up the re-
ports received. The births in Huron
in that year numbered 1571, an in-
crease of 14 over the previous year.
Marriages, 388, a decrease of 73.—
Deaths, 679. an increase of 08° The
ratio of births to 1000 of population
was 18.6; (in Muskoka it went as high
as 35.2) deaths, 8.0; marriages, 4 6.
Of the births in Huron 803 were boys.
and 768 girls, and in this were 11
pair of twine. Of the marriages 283
of the parties were Methodists, 208
Presbyterians, 112 Episcopal, and the
rest divides up into small numbers.
In March and December the most
marriages take place, the n,unbers
being 50 and 52, and the most of the
marriages are between the ages ot 20
and 25, there being only or,e over 70.
The death rate in Heron is the second
lowest in the Province, per 1000 pop-
ulaficn.
PPOPIESIA Czi xwE. ,.- Mr AMC',
Moore bars disposed of hisrocery
businel to Mr J. W. Irwin, of /Aran.,
to, a practical grocer of many yearn,
elEMleinet being 'gyms ia\bneinee-s
iu 1 ipcardine. We believe that Mr
Moore is negotiating for another busi-
ness in town.
NEw INDvsrax.,--Mr H. B. Chant
of this town, is making arrangements
to go into the manufacture of organ
key boards. He has had severe
years experience, and as there are a
number of organ factories in the Pro
vince that do not manufacture their
keys, be expects to work up quite a
business.
DIED AT HIS POST.—A Chicago
paper received at thia office'gives full
particulars of the death of Mr Lennox
Appleton, engineer on the Wisconsin
Central R. R , by a recent collision
just outside the city. He was well
known here ; he bravely stood at
his post, though he might haze saved
himself by jumping.
MAL1cIous FABRICATION8.—There
appears to be parties in this neigh-
borhood whose only object of exist-
ence is to start rumors concerning
the financial standing of someone,
and thereby inflict an injury on the
individual or individuals who may, be
the subject of their malice. Reports
concerning the solvency of individ-
uals and firms have been circulated
here during the past week, and in
every instance when traced out, have
proved to be without a particle of
foundation. There is no meaner or
more despicable method of. doing
an iajury than this, because it•atonce
places people at a disadvantage in the
eyes of the community, and although
time may prove the incorrectness of
the false. report, they suffer untyld
mental misery in the meantime- and
possibly financial loss as the direct
result of such stories. People can-
not be too careful how they give cur-
rency to reports of this nature. If
they do not know anything as to their
truth they should hold their peace.
It is much to be regretted that the
credit of perfectly solvent persons
has been injured by these slanders,
and we trust that this word of cau-
tion will place all persons on their
guard against repeating any story
about another's financial standing
without first finding out whether .it
is true or not.
