Report elsewhere. In the manufacture of tobacco from the leaf, nugar or molasses aud gum of some kind are used. In the manufacture of the ''Myrtle Navy" brand the sugar used is the finest white sugar, known in the trade as granulated. This is a sugar in which (here is si-Mom any a<l alteration, but to ttuard against the i t>*iUlity of it, all su^nr used in the factory is submitted t>< careful tc*ts of its purity.

At the oUi ashery Mr. Fetch jumped frm the wagon, but Mr. Mont- gomery continued to cling to the horses until the new road deviation was reach- ed, when the wagon was overturned, Mr. Montgomery falling upo.i tlie stone aud receiving a sever* cut over the eye. Th* twuUry* wheats on thj mower were L lull en. Th* provision* of th* new criminal code with respect to th* tale of firearms to minor* are far mure severe loan most people imsgine. One clause say* : Every- one is guilty of an offsue*, and liable, on summary conviction, to a penalty not exceeding |50, who sells or gives any pistol or air gun, or any ammunition therefor, to a minor under the age of 16 yean unless he eatabliabe* to the satis- faction of the justice before whom he is charged that he used reasonable diligence in endeavoring to ascertain the age of the minor bufore making such sale or gift, and that he had irood reason to believe that sued minor was noi under the age nf 16. 2. Everyone u guilty of an offence, and liable, on summary conviction, to a penalty not exceeding $25, who sells any pistol or air gun without keeping a record of such sale, the date thereof, and the name of the purchaser. and of the maker's name or other mark by which such arm may be identified. The Fire Bug Succeed*. Two weeks ago w* mentioned the fact of Mr. Williamson's house having been set on fire in three places on* night by an incendiary. Ou Friday evening last Mr. Williamson returned home about uine o'clock aud retired. At twelve o'clock be found th* house in flame*. The family had only time to e*cap with- out saving anything. A hundred dollars in ca*b was lost in th* fire. It is now surely the duty of the authorities in offer a good Urge reward far the apprehension and conviction of the perpetrator of this fiendish outrage. In a ca*e of this kind a life sentence would not be too much to inflict and it i to be hoped that the riend will be brought to book. Church Opening.

H returned on Wednesday by way of Arthur and Fergus. The Examinations. Th* department examinations are over, with the exception of the high school senior Leaving and Honor Matriculation. As usual th* question i>apra aro being severely criticised in th* Toronto Dailies. Th* Algebra and Arithmetic seem to b* the hard subject* this time. At Owen Sound last week 18ft wrote on these ex animation* an follows : Primary (Third Claw) 97 ; Junior Leaving (Second Claas) 58 ; Senior Leaving (Pint Class) 18. Pan Matriculation, 5 ; and Honor Matricula- tion, 7. At the High School Entrance Examination* in Owen Sound and th* different outposts in South Grey there were 372 candidates, as ft Hows : Owen Sound, 187 : Markdale, 27 ; Flesherton, 50 ; Dundalk, 20 ; Hanover, 1H ; Durham, 61 ; and NeiuUdt, 19. There will be a general slaughter among*t thee candi- dates as the examiners intend carrying out the regulations with regard to the mini- mum of one-third in each subject as well a* fifty per cent, on the total. Formerly candidate* were allowed to paa* on the fifty per cent, of the aggregate, even had they fallen below the required minimum on one or more of the different subject*. We believe the examiners are right, though it seem* hard to deprive a pupil of the benefits of a High School training because of his inability to learn spelling or his tory, and, at the same time, perhapa do good work in the other subjects. Thi* i* the vigorous way in which the Cliatsworth News puts it, and it i* about right : The hamlets i:i the north-east of the county are in a discontented mood. Their maws are empty and they want them replenished at th* expense of any or every bxly but themselves. They have been clamoring for government money to build useless harbor*, begging for subsidies to build them a railway, kick- ing against paying taxes and now Thorn- bury ha* capped the climax by appealing to the Lietenant-Governor to compel the other municipalities to build a bridge acroat the sucker stream running through that village. Warden Cochran* has re- ceived notice to that effect, and no doubt has already taken the necessary step* to defend the Co. Council's action in refus to concede) to the request f that small but ravenous octopus. !** General News. There are 30,000 famished people in th* Texas counties bordering on North- am Mexico. The.tr condition U duo to severe drought. Of th* 670 members who constitute the British House of < Vmmens. 6CO have now been elected. Mr. Gladstone's ma- jority in th* completed House will likely b*45. Mrs. Anna Roush, who died in Letart, O. , a few days ag<t aired 106 years and who was married in 1802, was the mother of thirteen children. They continued to multiply until at her death she left two thousand descendents and a great-great, great-grand-child. Osprey i'uiiucil.
