MARKDALE WWWW?^ The Blockade Raised After two weeks cf blockade the railway wa» opened as far north as Markdale on Sunday night. A train which left Toronto Saturday evening arrived at this station on Sunday at 7 p. in., with passenger, bag^ago and express car. Tliero wore three passengers. An immense load of mail matter and express came through. After unloading here the engmo was turned at the turntable and the train was backed as far north as Mnrkd.ile, where it was held over night, returning to Toronto Monday morning â€" exactly two weeks from the time the last train went south. Whoa the train pulled in to this station it was met by a large crowd of people who apparently had almost forgot- ten what a railway train looked like. The train officials got a hearty recep- tion. Thoro was work on hand for some time for all proaont. Everybody turned 10 and ussistc'd in the unloading of mail and ezprtss. It almost reminded one of a scene at thu Union station, Toronto. Tlio last staije broUKlit mails through from Oranjeville Saturday night. Postmaster Sproule and hia BtafT worked late and opened the ofiico for a short lime Sunday morning to accomodate the public. Tho Advance did not propose to get oauyht short this week on papur andmade arrangemoiitii last week by which we got a two wo«k>' supply and felt ourselves quite independent of tho railw.ay. It Cik'ised us to ho two days late l.ist issue but we were delcrminod not to send out any more half slieita if teluphunns, hyraes and Hleii;h« could ; prevent it. We felt that Wo gain id quite a victory over the elements last week and hojio our readers apprcc'atcd their full size paper. And thiii ended one of tlie most serious blockades known to tho oldest inhabitint. Had it lasted much longer consideraMe hardship would have reaultod. Our mer chanta wore out of many lines of staple goods and Msrkd,«lo an J Dundalk meruli.'\nts were oldiged to draw on our nierclianig hvrr for necossiiiea. Wednesday ot last week Stuart Bros, and Cnrrutheri of Kimheiley drove a car lo»d of stock from here to Tliornbury, shipping from that point to Toronto, The balance of st ick hold here for the past two weeks by f>ur stock shippKra had not f?ol a <»/ up to Wednesday morning A Iitilustoim Jii Monday caused the nivht train to be cancelled, but the morn- inn train from Toronto on Tuesday got ill stiODt thru* hours late. â-  n at I â-  The Mildest and Surest Relief For conBtipatod l«owels and piles is Dr. Hamihon's Pilla of Mandrake and But- ternut which ctiisu nn griping |Min and KOt proinp:.!/. Well known In all doctors. Use only Dr. Uamilton's Pills. Priea There are some curious-facts about sur calendar. No cenlury can begin on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. The same calendar can be used every twenty years. October always begins on the same day of the week as .lanuary, April I as July. September .IS December, Feb- j ruaiy, March and November begin on \ tho sumo days. M.i}-, Juno and Augu.st I alway.^ begin on difft'rent days from each ! oiher and every imnih of the year. The fir.st and laat daya of tliH year are always the same. These rules do not apply to leap year. The complete form of a m.ijtodon has been discovered at Hillside, on Quartz Creek, according to a dispatch received from Dawson, Y. T. It was imbedded 38 feet in the earth when found, and the use of a steam thawing plant was neces- sary to unearth the iminen.se anim.al. The hair and skin of the beast are in a perfect state of preservation, although the fleah is somewhat decomposed, and tho big tusKs, which remained fastened to tho skull, are in good condition. It is cstiniiitod that the skeleton is worth about 6iJ0,OO0, as there are but one or two of them in ciistpncn in as good a eondition aa is this. Tho mastodon was discovered buried in an old channel, well within the zone of perpetual frost, which accounts for its excellent preservation.
