AT 8. meeting of the Toronto School Board, held last week. it was decided that “Vaccination is no longer com". pnlsery on children seeking admission to the public school. "The Sporting Editor of the Flesher- ton Advance, referring to the Durham- Flesherton hockey match, played here on the night of Monday Feb. 19th says: The Markdale Standard. in reference to the Flesherton-Durham hockey match played at the latter place on Monday Feb. 19th, said. “The same teams played both games with the ex- ception of a ringer from Rocklyn that the Flesherton team had on for Mon- day’s match.” We fear the Standard has been unis-informed. Mr. Harry Boyd. the "ringer” referred to, came from Rocklyn but is employed in Andy \V’ilson’s barber shop here and was. previous to the game. Aside from this one exception, Flesherton played fiveof the same men. who played in the first match. and Durham played only two the. same. \Ve are informed that there Were two Markdale men There to play with Durham but they were nut :tllnwed I”. If the Standard got the report uf the game from them it umsthave. .tt this rate. been ;t_ case of general inis-int‘ormzttion. ad" mitted that. only two of the team who played in Flesherton were on the ice for Durham on the evening mentioned, ‘ we may say the regular team was un-fi able to play at the game in Fleshertrm and substitutes were provided. “'e have lots of good hockey players in Durham and the Advance man must not run away with the impression that we have only "a bunch of seven" to choose from. and if another game is arranged he may have the pleasure of seeing his own team go down to defeat at the hands of an entirely different line-up than that which played in‘ either of the two games previously mentioned. Ourgtezun, with one ex- ception (Hayes, who was. G, T. R operat«.)r at ‘.the station here) are all Durham boys of Ions: residence. and the man Hayes did not play at the last :game. As to the two Markdale play- Eers mentioned. it’s too absurd to talk about. Nobody knew they were com- ing till they got here, and the Advance man had better find out before he throws boqnets where they don’t be i<mg. His insinuation regarding the place the Standard man got his infor- mation is too fooiish to think much a‘imzt. He certainly didn’t get it from us. Perhaps Fleshertoninnsarealittle sore over the result, hm; as there’s still plenty, of ice “left” they nay give got, the report of the game from them we do not Wuudcl' that the facts were a. trifle muddled.” CLOVER SEED just arrived, Mrs. Durham 3 chance to "do it again" in some place larger than the wash-tub of a rink the sport over the line.

Good progress is reported and everything will be ready for an early start in the Spring. New mach- inery is being installed in the “wet end” and a. change in the method of manufacture will be inaugurated with the season of 1906. A greater amount of cement than usual has been disposed of during the open winter. The favorable weather We understand that grinding of clinkers in the storage building will begin shortly. There is a consider- able stock on hand which will be ground in time for the early market. The employees of the Company have purchased a handsome case of silver- wear for Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Farr. This is now on exhibition in the show window of the Durham Furniture Company next the post office. Mr. and Mrs. Farr were always popular with the employees. Arrangements, we are told, have been made with George McGrane to take a position on the plant. Mr. Mc- Grane is the machinist who installed all the machinery at the start and should know a good deal about it. We are not sure whetherhe is an American or not, but that makes no difference to us, nor do we think the stockholders will make any objection so long as he minds his own business. Personally. we are not narrow enough to object to a man because of his nationality, and we think we can speak for the stock- holders in saying that Mr. McGrane will find us 0. K. so long as he is O. K. himself. Everybody holding stock is anxious to see the mill prosper and make dividends. The appointment was made to fill the place of Mr. Cliff who resigned the position of superin- tendent. A few evenings ago, Mr. Mc Williams and the office staff of the Company presented Mr. Ehrhardt, with a hand- some tea service. The matter is refer- red to elsewhere in this issue.

JOHN EHRHARDT :â€"As an old and faithful employee of the National Portland Cement (30., Ltd.. we desire to express the esteem in which we hold you and also to show our appreciation of the energy and good judgment you have used in our business. We are sorry to lose your services and hope that no matter where your lot may be cast that good health and success may be your portion, and we have much pleasure in making this present of a solid silver Tea Service in token of the above sentiment. Signed in behalf of the Company: (Signed) R. H. MCWILLIAMS, Pres. Sighned in behalf of the office staff : (Signed) C. R. LAYELLE. Mr. Ehrhardt was taken completely by surprise and felt so overcome with the circumstances that he had difficul- ty in making a reply. He expressed his kindly feelings, however, to the President and staff for the honor con- ferred, thanking them heartily for their kind expressions of good will as evidenced by their address and gift and regretted that a four years’ pleas- ant relationship had now to terminate. For some days past a number of spectators could be seen at almost any time admiring a handsome case of silverware displayed in the window of Mr. Edward Kress’s store. A card at- tached shows the words "Presented to Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Farr by em- ployees of the N. P. C. 00.” The cab- inet indicated that the goods had been purchased from Mr. N. F. Babb, of Stratford, a specialist in the higher and more expensive class of solid silâ€" verware, gold, diamonds and expensive jewelry. The cabinet contains seventy two pieces consisting of a dozen each pearl handled knives and forks, and the remainder solid sterling silver pieces. The cabinet itself is a very handsome article made of quarter cut oak, beautifully polished and satin lined. We have no hesitation in sayâ€" ing this is the most handsome and most expensive collection of solid silver that was ever seen in Durham, and personally We trust that Mr. and Mrs. Farr may live long to enjoy the hand- some-gift so cheerfully given by his former employees at the mill here. On Monday nighta little after eleven 1 o’clock the cry of Fire! Fire !! wasE heard on the street. Investigatmn showed the old brick foundry, now owned by Dan Campbell and occupied as an implement wareroom was on fire on the inside and had already gained 1, considerable headway. Water pails! were put to use and some check made while the fire brigade was getting 1eady for work. The getting of the engine in place appeared to take a' very long time, but as the night was calm the flames were confined to the inside of the building. All the live stock was quickly removed from the stable in the rear which was pretty well separated from the burning por- tion by a solid wall. Once the engine ; got working good headway was made Ptowards controlling the flames, and fortunately the fire was not allowed to spread. The burning building was of I brick with an iron roof, and it is a 1'881 matter of astonishment to think that :greater damage was not done. A Enumber of rigs and some machinery iwere destroved and the loss will be ; conside1 able as the whole inside struc- 1tu1e W1” have to be overhauled and ! most of it removed. The origin of the fire in not known and those who were early on the scene know it to have started in a small com- partment in rear of the office, and used only as a small storeroom for certain kind of repairs. Mr. Campbell was in bed at the time and before he was able to put in an appearance a goodly crowd of workers had already assem- bled. The property was insured, but we do not know to what extent. The Fire Brigade did good work and the engine again proved itself a dandy. AUCTION SALE of farm stock {and implements, at Son. 19, lot. 11, Egre- mont, on Friday March 23rd. D. P. Coleridge.
