The 'flames fairly wiped out everything in a=ft'w minutes; the ma- terial of course being like tinder. HOLDING FOR, A RISE.—It is said that a certain farmer of this towrishiip has stored in his barns the accommula- tions of nearly seven years' wheat crop, which he has held ,from year to year with the expectation of a rise in prices. For some of this grain he was offered over $1 a bushel. If. he were able to estimate what he has lost by rats, shrinkage and the loss of inter- est, he would find that holding his grain has been a costly experiment, and there is not the slightest prospect that he will ever realize a high price for what he has on hand. NOTRS.—Mr T. Cole has improved the appearance of his 'place by the erection of a new woodshed and driv- ing house, Miss Minnie Green, of Goderich, spenta few days in this vicinity.

Cumings, (fourth son of Mr John Cumings, of this township) whereby he lost a leg, by being run over on the C. P. R. We are very sorry indeed to learn that the accident proved fatal, he dying shortly ,after the accident happened. The remains were brought home and interred in the Union ceme- tery. COUNCIL.—The council of Hullett met on the 10th inst. Accounts amounting to $I20 were passed and ordered paid. The Reeve and Treasur- er_ .were_. empowere..d. _to-._borrowlfunde. sufficient for the current expenses of the township.

The bridge north of Londesboro will be built by the 1st of September, under the superinten- dence of the county road commission- er. Council adjourned until called by the Reeve. AN INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.—If the fol - lowing circumstences; as furnished us, are authentic, an old and respected re= sident of this township has been the subject of an outrage that should not go unpunished. On Friday evening last Mr Christopher Dale, sr., of the Huron road, noticed some one moving around his yard at about ten o'clock, and ;went out to see who it was. He was, accosted by an individual, who de- manded $5. Mr Dale wanted to know what the money was for, and was in- formed, in effect, that it was none of his business; all he was to do was to hand over the money. This he em- phatically refused to do, stating that if they would come,"! ' • orning and show him why"; %';; d do so, he would give;them tetras ey. Instant- ly several gum were fired off, as if to frighten him. He then went into the house, procured a lantern and stout stick, and accom ained by his dog, again went out, determined, old and feeble as he is, to find out who his as- sailants were. The dog, it is said, caught one man by the leg, and brought him to the groufld, Mr Dale at the same time turning the lantern in the fellow's face, and recogniz- ing him. Mt Dale threatened to club the fellow, when some one behind placed a pain almost close to his head and fired it, the powder with which theun was only loaded, lodging in the back of Mr Dale's head; at the same moment the lantern was smashed or taken from him, and Mr Dale, think- ing his life was in danger, went into the house, which his assailants storm- ed with stones, breaking in one of the doors, smashing the shutters, and in- flicting other injury. He has laid an information before a magistrate, war- rants have been issued for the arrest of two of the parties, and the case comes up for -hearing at Clinton, on Thurs- day. Mr Dale was remarried a few days ago, and it .is supposed that this circumstance gariseve to the assault on him. Holmesville. LECTURE.—The lecture and canvass views, given by Rev. J. W,- Bell, Mis- sionary Superintendent of the Royal Templars, was thought very much of by the audience.

Of what earthly bene- fit is it to the community for those who aare'known to be temperance peo- ple to organize, meet, draw their pharasaic robs about them, lift their eyes to heaven and thank God they are not like those poor drunkards? Ards? Temperance people, ake upl do some- thing to stem this terrible tide of evil. THEIR °name SPOILED,—One day last week a party of those staying at the River hotel went for a drive into the country. They found a pretty spot, unhitched their horses and pre- pared their lunch and had just begun to partake of it, when down came the ram in torrents. Of course .the day's fun was spoiled, and it was a drench- ed and sad -eyed party that returned to the hotel that night. It will be one of the experiences, however, that they will relate with great gusto when they return to the city. APPRECIATED,—We clip the follow- ing from the Saginaw Courier Herald: —"Armstrong's martial band of Bay- field, Ont., led Marlette lodge No. 212 in the procession yesterday, and last evening favored the Courier -Herald with as lively serenade. Much favor- able comment was caused by the ex- cellentlaying of this band, and with- out doubt It played the finest martial music ever heard in this city. Marlette edge, though but an infant in age, being organized within the past year by W. D. Ragan, of Saginaw, now has amembership of 149." We are pleas- ed to know that the talent of our boys is recognized abroad, and we shall al- ways be pleased to record their achieve- ments away from home. NOTES.—We noticed Mr G. F.

GOSPEL TEMPERANCE MEETING.— The-meeting was held at 4 o'clock p.m., last Sabbath and was addressed by Mr Allan, from near Benwiller. His ad dress was excellent being both interest- ing and instructive. He took for the foundation of his speech the passage in the Old Testament law where it says if an ox gore a man that he die he shall be put to death. Has this monster ox the rnm traffic done mischief worthy of death. Have we as a people the right to destroy it. How can we best do it. The chair'avas taken by F. B.

S. No. 8, Mr Stickle, teacher. Haying is almost over, and the fall wheat will be ready about the last of the week, and the prospects are good. Berries and cher- ries are plentitul, and as a result there is a heavy demand for sugar, which the housewife notices that the size of the parcel for the $1 is growing beauti- fully less—last year abont 20 lbs. of granulated, this year 16, and some places less We notice that work has commenced again on R. Adams' building. A. Cole is at Goderich again this week; he must have faith to think that he can be cured. Wm. McCool cut the first wheat on Wednesday.

He belonged torurloss; the horses escaped, but the waggon was smashed to splin- ters; what adds to the sadness of . the affair was the fact that his daughter was to have been married the . next day. The NEw ERA is the hest paper in Huron—at it's price, $1 a year, cash. AceinPNT.—As Mr F. Mcllveen and wife were on their way to Clinton, to church, last Sunday morning,the horse shied.at something on the road and both the lady and gentleman werle sent headlong out of the buggy. They were bruised and badly shaken up, and the buggy partially broken, but it was a narrow escape. NOTES.—Mr H. B. McVittie, of North Bay, is spending a few days among his friends here; his appearance indicates that the climate of the north agrees with him.
