There was no insurance on either house or contents. Much sympathy is felt for Messrs. Sedgwick and Price, as there has been considerable sickness of late in both families. The village is practically with- out fire protection and at the nierc ' of_a_ny fire that may occur. The ant iorities should at once secure a small fire engine and form a brigade. Oakwood did this some years ago, purchasing an engine at a small cost from Capt. Evans of the. Omemee foundry. This engine aid for itself in less than a year, and has en the means of saving much valuable property in the village. â€"If the merchants of every town in Ontario would take a leaf from the big de artmental stores and advertise and sel goods as they do they would speedily secure a larger and better trade than they now have, and bring dollars to their own town that at present go to Toronto and elsewhere. The Wu 'â€"and the only wayâ€"â€" that this much-to. e-(lesired en can be accomplished is to secure a. generous space in the advertising columns of the local papers and advertise persistently and well. quoting prices for cash at the very lowest margin of profit. People buy in Tomato simpl ' because they canâ€"or think they canâ€"buy cheaper; but they also know that they must have the spot cash. If buyers are shown by prices quoted that they can buy as advantageously in their county town as in a city fift or one hundred miles away they will c oose the former every time. Peeple-in the country buy in the larger towns simply because they believe they can buy cheaper; and people in the towns buy in the citv for the very same reason. It is only by advertis- ing liberally and quotin prices that our merchants can Show t ese people their error. They can be reached much quicker through their pockets-â€"especially .when times are hard and everyone is trying to make or save the. mighty dollarâ€"than they in waitinm can liv preaching loyalty to their own district.

Sisson of this town) passed over to the great majority, at the ripe old age of 76 years. Deceased, who was born in \Vestmoreland, England, in 1820, was one of the early pioneers of Manvers, having come to this country when but a boy of nine years. He settled on the old homestead forty-six years ago, where he lived to the time of his death, universally respected and esteemed. Heleaves a widow and nine children to mourn the loss of a kind husband and indulgent father. â€"Mr. Irvine Junkin, for over thirty years postmaster at Bobcaygeon, died of heart failure last Thursday night, aged 56 years. Deceased was one of the leading citizens of the village, and in addition to being postmaster held the position of clerk of the village and also of Verulam, and clerk of the division court. In politics he was a reformer. He was a staunch member of the Methodist church. and was highly esteemed and respected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. Of late years he has been in somewhat poor health, and caught a severe cold while attending the funeral of his brother, James Junkin, last week. â€"â€"The sad intelligence of the death of Mr. J. B. Warner, the well-known dry goods merchant, which took place early Monday morning, cast a gloom. over the whole town. While it was known that he had been danger- ously ill for some time past, yet it was hoped that under careful medical treatment and good nursing he would speedily recover. However, it was not to be. The deceased, who was but 52 years of age, was for many years one of the best known and most successful travellers on the road, and had warm friends in all parts of Ontario. About seven years ago he retired from' the road and engaged in the dry goods business here. His success was marked. He also opened a branch store at \Voodville, which he conducted up to a few months ago. In addition to winning the confidence of the trading public be speedily earned for himself the esteem and respect of his fellow citizens of all classes. and his loss will be severely felt. He leaves a widow and six young children, to whom isextended the sympathy of the entire community. The funeral yesterday afternoon to Riverside cemetery was very largely attended, all stores in town being closed as a mark of respect to their deceased fellow~ ' merchant and townsman. l _â€"â€"+â€"â€"â€" Patrons of Industry. The regular annual county meeting of Victoria. Association of the Patrons of Industry met on Saturday last in Smyth’s hall, Lindsay.

In the election of a representative to the giand association Mr. R. Campbell was unamiously elected. After the election of officers the question of railway freight rates was fully discussed, after which the following resolution was moved by Robert Campbell, seconded by investigation should be made by the govern ment for the purpose of ascertaining to what extent the farmers of Canada are burdened by railway transportation charges as compared with the farmers of those countries with which Canada has to compete in the world’s markets: (2) that. should it be established after such investigation that the farmers of Canada pay higher freight and express charges on their products, parliament and government should at once take steps to appoint a board or commission with power to regulate rates, as has been done in England, the United States and Australia; (3) that, under the present state of cumpetition between Canada and the other countries in the world’s markets. it is an absolute necessity that the transportation of Canadian farm products should be as cheap as the cost of like transportation to our competi- tors, and that no revision of the tariff will be effective unless the transportation agencies of this country are brought more under the control and supervision of the government; (4) that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the minister of agriculture at Ottawa.â€"â€"Carricd.
