Here is the way to look at it. If you have nothing to advcrtiao don't advertise, and the public will remain in bli.uful ignorance of the fact that your stock u no good, and you may sell a fuvr trlicle.s ; whvruuit it you advertise when your stock U not worth advorti.iing the public will shortly Mud out the decaption and Kit you severely alone.

Mr John feeler, living about three milua front Flxsherton, on the Hack Line east, but his wife last week from conges- tion of tku lungs. The deceased l.idy left a family of seven children. After tin- remains had been laid away, a woman was called in to wash, and while dipping boiling water from one receptacle to an- other, the yuengest child, a littlo tiling. jogged against her and a basin of boiling water was poured over the child's head and shoulders, sculdin/ it in a fearful manner. We understand that the little sulferer is in a critical condition. Shooting at Meafotd, A des|>a^h frviu Meaford states tl.at OU Sat urd-ijr night two jfottng ui^u II Hi ed George Tucker and William Fox quar- relled and agroed to go to a secluded spot and have it out according to P. K. rulus. Reaching a point on Victoria street, Fox thought that would do, but Tucker said no, it was too public. Fox, however, began taking off his coat, when Tucker drew a revolver and flred, the ball taking effect in Fox's ear. The wounded man was hurried to a doctor's surgery and was found not to be seriously hurt. Tuckor was seized and locked up. It is said the quarrel arose over a young lady to whom both have been paying attentions. A Sura Cure. We heard the other dixy of a remark- able cure for tits. A child belonging to a friend of ours was subjected to tits, which tha doctors were unable to cure. This child strayed upon a railway track and was struck by a passing engine Strange to state the child has never since had a lit. It moved to another country about thai time, but the facu have come to our knowlede through sorrowing relatives. There are two or three indi- viduals in this neighborhood whom we would strongly advise to ^ive the cure a trial. A Good Old Man Gone. An old resident of I'anada and of Arte- mesia passed away on Thursday last after a brief illness, in thn person of Mr. Thos. Osborne, aged HI years. Mr. Osliorne was well known throughout this section, having lived in Artemesia about thirty-nine yoars, airl having been in Canada o"er fifty years. A native of Cornwall, England, he came to this country when quite young, and was a recruit at the time of the rebellion in '.'IS. During the thirty-nine years of his resi deuce in Artemesia Mr. Osborne made many friends. He wns a chriHtian in every sense of the term, and years ago when the country was new his figure was a familiar one as ho wended his way on font and alone every Sabbath to holii religious services iu the little log cliurcli- es and farmer's shanties of that early da\ . For mlieft around Fleshertoii Mr. Osborne is bust remembered in that capacity, and tlnui^li many have anticipated his depart- ure, there are stiil those hn remember his /.eul and who havu listened to the U . i i as expounded by him.
