There. may be too many dogs in town and many of the surplus stock may not be worth the dollar a year imposed by the Council as a tax on such ani- mals; nevertheless the ordinary citi- zen has no right to take the law into his own hands and deStroy them in such manner. Where a dog is found descroying sheep or committing other such depredations, we are not going to blame the owner of such property disposing of the destroyer without notice unless the owner of the dog is known and sufficient evidence avail- able to prove the charge. Two or three dogs have recently been pois- oned in this town, but whether by accident or other we are not in a position to show. ON Sunday evening Pastor Newton of the Baptist church gave a slashing condemnation of the too common but vulgar practice of swearing and the use of foul and blasphemous language generally. His subject was Profanity ‘ “‘ ‘ " ° , -2;i bVâ€"V"'"J ' â€"â€"*-â€" - u and Respectability. and his‘ special treatment was characteristic. Many‘ of his pithy sentences will “ stick ” and it is hoped will be productive of wwâ€" good. The reverend gentleman spoke! strongly and feelingly and theme is need for earnest effort on the part of all who love purity of speech to stem‘ the tide of vulgar and senseless pro- fanity. which is sweeping over thel land at an alarming rate and threat- ens to beloul the well of English 11n- defiled left us by our forefathers. l The practice is unmanly. It is the last refuge of a moral weakling and stamps the degradation of the user as no other common vice does.

REPORTS from Toronto are not at all favorable regarding the condition of Mr Neil Mcchhnie. who is under- going treatment. His friends are very apprehensive of his recovery. THE South Grey Agricultural Socie- ty will hold their annual eXhibition here on Monday and Tuesday next. and shculd the weather be fine a. large crowd will be present to see the exhibits. An interested citizen makes a wise suggestion regarding the show of horses being led around the ring or especially in front of the "' Grand Stand ” in order that visitors who are not allowed on the grounds will have a: chance of seeing the ex- hibits. THE unknown man killed in the Northern Pacific yards at; Grand Forks, N. D., on Wednesday with a letter on his person addressed to J. P. McAIpiner. Toronto, is a brother of Rev. J. R.

It is a nicely executed production from A. Talbot 00., publishers, and reflects credit on the ability of the firm as an artistic piece of printing. The letter press and half-tone pro- ductions are excellent and in good taste. THE Markdale Standard entered its twenty-fourth year last week with a circulation of over seventeen hundred and a new Cottrell press just install- e . We congratulate our brother of th Quill and wish him continued prosperity in his journalistic energies. Few local neWSpaper men have been more successful on the financial end of the business. and if he only lives ong enough he’ll be a millionaire. THE Hunter Bros. have decided to! build on the corner opposite the Mid» daugh House and next week the exca- vations will be about completed. While this will cause the removal of an old landmark, yet our citizens will be delighted with the prOSpect of having this “fourth corner” of the town at last covered by areSpect- able block. We are sure the building, when finished, will be a credit to the builders as well as an ornament to our most prominent public square. MR. TELFORD and his assistants have taken the levels and made the measurements for the new sidewalk on the south side of Lambton Street. When completed to Garafraxa St. and the bridge finished the new walks will take a share of the traffic from the north side. The appearance of the street will be improved and the convenience of the travelling public secured by these much needed im- provements. \ Ox Sunday evening last Mr Thos. Reid met with a serious accident, in trying to Stop a runaway horse that was driven by his son. It seems from‘what we learn that the buggy shaft Struck the old gentleman on the breast, inflicting injury that we hope will not prove fatal. The son was afterwards thrown out and con. siderably shaken up. while the horse came to a standing which he decided on very suddenly, when he ran into a tree near the corner of George and Queen streets. The rig also was some what damaged. TuE advocates of temperance canl find an instance of the horrible effect of drink by visiting the Parry Soundl jail. There lies an old man who isl under sentence of six months’ im-1 prisonment in the Central Prison for vagrancy. This man is named Brown; and for twelve years he was private secretary to the late Sir John A. Macdonald. He is a college graduate and was Well born. a first-class book- keeper and mathematician, but drink has been his ruin. He fell from one estate to another. always lower. Some years ago a gentleman in Col- lingwood picked him up and tried to put him on his feet. He signed the pledge and was made much of by the ladies of the W. C. T. U., and actual- 1y kept sober for three years. made money and was reSpected but again he fell and now he is sentenced to six months’ imprisonment.-â€"-Shelburne Free Press. WE wish to state that owing to ex- treme condition of our daughter, Maud. who is seriously ill of typhoid the paper must be neglected so far at least as our personal attention to it is concerned. Until last week the poor sufiering girl was a bright member of the stafi and a great help ‘in the ofi'ice generally. Drs. Jamieson and Macdonald are the attending physic- cians and with the able assistance of Miss Martinoni. of Dr. Groves’ hospit- al at Fergus, we are sure we _are not alone in hoping that her recovery will be speedy. Ever since becom- ing a resident of Durham have we had such a sincere manifestation of kindness from all quarters. Every‘ one is anxious, and our fraternal feel- ing will force us for the next two or three weeks perhaps to give the paper a secondary consideration only, but even in this life we have kind friends who are willing to assist in collecting the interesting local news items. Until change comes for the better or worse we crave the indul- ’ gence of our readers. ‘ - ‘1 '4‘ .’"' (I ‘73“ s22 44v % WK x.” ’4"?
