ONE of our composing staff was sick for acouple of days. and this together with a public holiday throws our paper a little out of joint this week. We hope, however, to bring it up to the standard next issue. Couxcuum McFA‘nDEx, of Egre- mont, had his head badly injured last. week while working at a. barn belong- in: to Mr. Jas. Matthews.

She died Monday morning. and as a telegram, which simply announced the death, is all the information we have. no particua lars can be given. Until about five' years ago Mr. Bull and family were highly respected residents of this town. At that time they moved to the North-west, where Mr. Bull, who was not in good health for some time, died a couple of years ago, Last fall Mrs. Bull paid a visit to Durham friends and looked so well that few thought the end so near. She was a sister of Mr. Thomas Harris, of Dur- ham. and Mrs. McRae, of Hamilton, but late of this town. BARNS BURNEDâ€"Just at the noon hour on Saturday last the citizens were startled by the sound of the Fire Alarm, and the brigade were soon on the spot for action. It was discovered that Mr. Thos. Barclay’s barn was ablaze and the energies of the brigade were at once turned in that direction. Before they arrived on the scene. however. Mr. Barclay’s barn was down. the flames had leaped across to Mr. Warmington’s barn and it, too. was soon doomed to destruc. tion. All that could be done when the water was on was to save the adjoining property. and no doubt the streams poured into the burning buildings and on and about the ad- joining houses saved a much greater loss. Mr. Williams’ stable seemed to be almost doomed, and had it not been for the vicilance of a number of citizens before the engine was get to work that too would have fallen a prey to the devouring element. The fire originated, it,ie supposed, by children playing with fire crackers. The loss of both buildings would be aboutâ€"-well we can’t say how much 37-400. 1890. (I!

THE new street sprinkler arrived this week, and appears to be a quite up-toldate concern. Just after its arrival on Tuesday we had a most delightlnl rain that brought gladness alike to the hearts of .farmers and citizens. THE funeral of MaSter Lloyd Bean on Friday last was very largely at~ t.ended the cortege being;g led by about a hundred and fifty of the school children. Mr. and Mrs. Bean have the genuine sympathy of the whole town in the loss of their only child. AT the fcotball match played here Victoria Day between Holstein and Varney, Mr. Fred Benton, of the lat- ter team, had the misfortune to have one -of his arms broken through a pure accident. Dr. Hutton reduced the fracture, which we learn was a pretty bad one. LAST week Mr. Allan Maciarlane‘ went to Toronto on a business trip. That. at least, is what some peeple thought it was, and they found they were not disappointed when became home a few days later bringing with him a charming young bride in the person of Miss Kate McLean, daugh- ter of Mr. Hugh McLean, of this town. The young couple will make their home here, and we heartily congratulate them on their matri- monial venture and welcome them as citizens. Two weeks ago we copied an article from the Harriston Renew and at the close we gave credit to the paper but stated that we didn’t know whether the Editor wrote it himself or stole it from somebody else. We didn’t see the Review since, but learn from an outside source that he’s after us with a gun in his last issue. Per- haps when the article appeared in type he felt so ashamed of himself that he wouldn’t send usa copy. On the other hand the article may have been so caustic that he feared we would not be able to survive the shock. Never fear about that Brer Dewar, we can stand it no matter how dirty you make it. Send it along please, and if it’s worth copy- ing we’ll give it plac‘e, and credit you as the " only original” author. SEE Gordon’s ad. on back page. DON’T read Theobald’s ad. I beg respectfully to intimate to‘ the people of Durham and vicinity that I have sold out my bakery busi- ness to Messrs. Stinson and Hind. who take charge on Monday morning of next week. For eleven years I have been dealing with the public here, and as nothing but harmony existed during those years I feel it my bounden duty at this juncture to express sincere thanks to the many customers who have given me such a liberal patronage. M y successors are well known here, and I trust they may receive in the future the kind consideration that the public has ac~ corded me in the past. Again thanking you, I remain Yours, etc.. The preprietors of down-town ho-j tel barber shops are disturbed by the? steps taken by the oflicers of the morality department to put a step to the shaving of guests on Sunday. In the past some latitude has been al- lowed by the Police Commissioners in this respect. but an act- passed at the last session of the Legislature making it an oflence even to open shops between 12 o’clock on Satur- day night and 12 o’clock Sunday night has taken the matter complete- ly out of the hands of the police board. Under the new law if guests require to be shaved on Sundays the work must he done in their rooms. and not in the shops.

Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman. Even that greatest of all jewels, health, is often ruined in the strenuous efiorts to make or save the money to pur- chase them. If a woman will risk her health to get a coveted gem. then let her fortify herself against the in- siduous consequences of coughs.colds and bronchial afiections by the regu - lar use of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup. It will promptly arrest con- sumption in its early stages and heal the afiected lungs and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system. It is not a cure-all but it is certain a cure for coughs. colds and all bronchial troubles.
