McGurie and Archie Bird are mourn- ing the loss of three noble hearted young men of West Guilford. On the day in question they started for the vicinity of Dorset ,by way of Keneese Lake canoe route. Apparently all went well until this lake, which is a very large one, was reached, when it would appear that their canoes filled. No one knew of the accident at the time, and no search was made till after it was learned that they had not reached their destination and none had seen them. As they were all active young men it was yet hoped that they were safe, but no time was lost in making a search, which disclosed theifact that all were drown- ed. It was a sad and laborious task to portage theebodies home to their sor- rowing friends, but it was accomplish- ed. The two first named were married but eight and six months ago, respec- tively, to daughters of Mr. Wm. Henderâ€" son. The young men were all raised in West Guilford, their parents, brothers and sisters are there, and nearly every home in the community is in mourning. The funerals took place on Tuesday the 29th, B. Cruickshanks being buried at the English Church Cemetry, Maple Lake, while his two companions were interred in the Methodist Cemetry. A memorial service for all three will be conducted by Rev. H. S. Lloyd, at West Gnilford, on Sunday evening, July 4th, at 6.30 p. m. 0-. Fire at the Boyd Co. Farm. At about a quarter to one on Tuesday, Lily Foster, scarcely able to speak after her long run from the Boyd Coy’s farm, announced that the house was on fire and help was needed. A phone message was immediately sent to Mr. Boyd, and in a few minutes help was started out with pails and one of the small engines. It appears that Mr. Logan and family were at dinner, when their attention was attracted by an unusual noise, and going out they found the roof in a blaze. An effort was made to extinguish it, but the fire had gone through the roof and run along the rafters inside, to such an extent that no control could be obtain- ed. Attention was then given to get- ting ont Mrs. Logan Sr., who is an in- valid with an injured hip, and that being done the furniture was out: Noth- ing could be done with the upstairs, and all the cellar. stores were lost. It was at the first alarm that Mrs. Foster and her daughter Lin were going by, and the little girlwas asked to run to the village. Thelwind was blowing direct- ly on to the large barn and stables, and in an incredibly short space of time the fire swept through the building. The loss is estimated at about $10,000, partly covered by insurance. Mr. Logan had hex-insurance on the contents of the house,;and though much of the furniture wasgot out,his loss is estimat- i .l.) ‘ '2‘ EVERY ONE A hi0th SAVER. $5.00 AI‘IO $6.00 SKIRTS. selling, at, only $3.95. $4.50 LADIES’ SKIRTS reduced to $8.00.

Port Hope Guide : â€"-At noon on Satur- day, while the editor of the Guide stood in his office doorway he noticed a little boy and girl going down the south side of the street. At that moment a sec- tion of concrete sidewalk flew into the air with a report like a pistol, and with a puff of dust. The children, of course, were startled as they were within five feet of the explosion, the force of which was sufficient to throw pieces of cement four or five feet into the air, and one large section fell upside down with a thud. The entire exploded section measures five feet six inches, by two feet six inches, and over an inch thick. The sun had been shining all the morn- ing on this piece of sidewalk, and the shadow of Dr. Dickson’s dwelling house had just reached the west side of the fracture when the explosion occurred. It is thought the heat expansion of the surface caused this unusual occurrence. 0*. Roy Whetung, a river driver for the Peter-borough Lumber Co., and a son of Dan Whetung of Chemong Indian Vil- lage, had a narrow escape from meeting death by drowning near Burleigh. He was assisting in bringing a drive down the Burleigh Rapids. He was in the act of loosening up some logs when he was struck by one and thrown into the water and under the logs. The whole drive, which was about three hundred yards in length passed over him. It was thought that the young man would be killed, but when the drive had pass- ed over him he did not seem much the worse for his experience, save that some of his teeth were knocked out and his clothing was torn from his back. *0â€"-â€"â€"â€"- An example of the way in which forest fires are started was given at the golf links end of the Point. Some care- less smoker in passing had evidently thrown a lighted match among grass. As Mr. Donald’s family were sit- ting down to dinner the fire was noticed creeping along the side of the road. To all appearances it was stamped out, but about eight p. m. it broke out again quite brightly, fanned by the strong breeze which had sprung up. «Two pails of water made such a hissing a- round the trunk of a tree that it was evident it had been smouldering there all afternoon. Such a blaze occuring at night, witn no one to notice the begin- ning might spell a bad disaster for the whole Point.â€"Post. Some people look upon tea as a more drink.

The following hints as how best to clean harness will be of interest to. horsemen in town and vicinity: To clean a harness, use neither turp- ‘ entine nor benzine, nor any compound of such a nature; these burn the grain of the leather. Unbuckle every strap, and with a scraper remove the greasy dirt that has accumulated ; then wash in tepid water, ‘ using a good harness soap. Avoid let- ting the leather absorb more water than is necessary. After washing well, wipe off each strap, making it ready for a coat of oil, working tHe oil around the buckles, the bars, etc. Next lay cut the straps and coat them on all parts with warm tallow, which you apply with a brush. Put the straps aside for ten hours; then rub off the surplus tallow, finally rubbing with a rag until you work up a good polish. Be careful to remove the tallow from a- round the stitching. Leather treated after this method will always remain in prime condition, and the stiches will not ripâ€"Ex. o- Awell known judge invited a friend of his, a lawyer, to go for a short trip on his yacht. A storm came up and the boat began to roll and toss in a manner which the lawyer did not relish. The judge laid a hand on his friend's shoulder and said : “ My dear fellow, is there anything I can do to make you comfortable ? ” “ Yes,” was the grim reply, “ overrule this motion."
