"On the morning of Tuesday of week, at:about one o'clock, the fine hetd of taltle the property of Mr. Elijah Beare was nearly annihilated by lightning--thirteen were killed. "he electrical storm which at that time took place was one of the most severe ever witnessed in this local- ity. The cattle were at the time time pasturing on Mr. Beare's ranch just north of Port Perry. The ani- mals killed were the choicest of the herd and were standing between two trees and when discovered all seem to have fallen forward. The popular Maple Leaf Fire Insurance Company which carried the risk on Mr. Beare's cattle, on obtaining in- formation.of the destruction, at once took action and appointed Messrs. Geo. Jackson and Hugh Jack valu- ators, who fixed the loss at $750 On the following day two worthy officials of the Company--the Pres- ident and the Secretary--paid a visit tothe scene of destruction The Driving Club of Oshawa; whose officers consist of Chas, Robson, Pres. ; F. W. Cowan, Vice Pres.; Dr. Kaiser, Secy., held a Rice Meeting on May 24th and 25th at Alexendra Park. In one respect it was of the nature of an experi: ment, the customary book privileges for which a considerable sum of money is always reaped, were rigor ously denied to anyone, it was be- lieved by the management that the races could be maintained by the public without any rakeoff from betting as the officers were all per- sonally opposed to any: form ef gambling however innocent in form. The hopes of - the Driving Club would have been realized tothe full extent, had it not been for a terriffic storm which broke over the com- munity just at the time that people were about to turn out to the races, consequently a slight deficit in re- ceipts was cheerfully faced by the club, nevertheless about 1300 people turned out on the 24th and enjoyed the performance. The visitor was particularly impressed with three features of the meet : the magnifi- cent park, created in a day, by the transplanting of full grown trees under the guiding bands of Dr. Kaiser and Dr. Henry ; the business like management of the races, with all the airs and finished touches of the Grand Circuit ; and lastly the high quality of the 30 race horses ~The Situa {Toronto News of Mr. Fisher declares th Government would like country the people do not tion.

It is not a good thing for people with a tendency to have pimples and blotchy complexion to smear themselves with greasy ointments and such things. In fact they couldn't do anything worse, be- cause grease clogs the pores of' the skin making the complaint worse. Wher there is ancirritating rash a soothing boracic wash may help 10 allay the pain. or 'itching, but of course it doesn't cure.
