.MR. J. H. BROWN had t“’() visitm-s last week. They were two cousins, Ezra. and Oliver Brown. not brothers but cousins, from Owen Sound. One or both of the visiting Browns nwns houses in Owen Sound. and one of the houses was occupied by Angus Camer- on as tenant. Angus used to live hem» and was unfortunate enough to lose his arm at the Cement Mill. but held a position with the Comp-am for some time subsequent to the accident. He is therefore well-known in this town. Some timeâ€"“‘ago he returned to the County Capital, and for the past couple of months he. has been occupy- ing one of Brown’s houses. rained at nine hundred or a. thousand dollars and- insured for $400. we had a con- versation with the Browns on Friday night betWeen ten and eleven o’clock, and it was from them that we learned | the particulars about Angus. Next! morning a wire from Owen Sound called the Browns home as the ban 1 - occupied by Cameron had been burned; : during the night. We understand} ‘1?) there was an insurance of 3800‘ on the: contents. which will, to some extent,’ Cameron out ofthe trouble.

" That men with small purposes do not help to make a town lively or progressive.” The man who never contributes to public enterprise or voluntarily assists in supporting any of the public enterprises is not worth coaxing to remain in town and should he decide to move out it is always a matter‘of congratulation.

It‘ mixes a person up a. little to think of it, and it would be quite strange for one of us in the north temperate zone Australia, in Mr. leger’s opinion, is it great country. Sheep raising is one of the great industries, but he tells us they are not without their drawbacks. It iSJIOt a country of snow and frost and cold, as may be judged from its latitude Which is largely Within the torrid zone. They have their dry sea- sons and their different kinds of pests which interfere to great extent with the labors of the husbandman. ,. It is fourteen years since Mr. and Mrs. Bolger were married in Toronto i and left for the other side of the world. 'During those years she never forgot her mother and we know that her kindliest feelings were more than re- ciprocated by the fond parent in her humble home in Glenelg. It must be 123000 miles to Australia, and few mothers so far separated from their children ever hope to see them again. But not so in this case. Mr. Bolger promised the ° trip, and as he tells us himself, and tells us with every ap-i pearauce of sincerity, his chief object; in coming here was in fulfilment of his promise and desire that “ Nellie” (Mrs. Bolger) should once more see her dear- old mother before her death.” l \Ve had a brief call last week from Mr. and Mrs. Bolger of Australia. We made a short reference some time ago to meeting Mr. Bolger after his arrival from the other side of the world. He was so entertaining that we invited him to call again, and on the second visit he was accompanied by his cheer- ful “ better half” who is now enjoying the company of her mother, Mrs. \Vil- liams, of lfldgehill, and the scores of other friends and relatives that she has in the locality. This event on the morning of the S. of S. Demonstration on July I is at- tracting attention, and some are te t- ing their wind already. The race starts from Rob Roy Corners.
