Mr F. \V F Tottenham lauded his sawmill machinery at Flesherton station on Monday.

The mil uicipal thermometer took a jump of about 99 degrees during the past week. D other words it awoke from a slumber ng condition to a prize tighter attitude. ''or reeve it U definitely announced that if. Richardson and J. Bolaiid are in the ield, with s prospect that Mr. J. Me- \rtliur will also take a spurt in the race. Tor councillors for No. '- ward there are several names mentioned. Mr. Thoa, illioit, Mr. Jaa. Brodie and Mr. Thos. veils. It will be an interesting compe- ituni iu that ward. In wards Nos. 3 and 4 the present oouncilmen will prob- ably be elected. With regard to who will till the shoos at present worn by Mr. HcArthur there is nothing definite as yet. lust as we go to pr-w we learn that Mr. Thorp Wriitht has about decided to enter the contest fur the reeveahip once, more. The ttojr Wright. Mr. J. P. Griffiths, inspector for Dr. ttaruaido 9 home, arrived in Flesherton [roni Toronto on Thursday evening last and returned on the evening following taking the boy Wright back with him tu the home. In a lengthy conversation with Mr. I'intiiths we discovered very little with reference to the boy that was uew. There is one point, however, winch, has au important bearing 011 the case, and that is that the boy has had two masters besides Mr. Brtt since com ing to this country, and in both casec has he been relumed to the home, nn>< marked upon their books a a bad boy. This fact when known will go a long way toward quieting public sentiment agairat Mr. Best, and it is a hard matter to say just uow how much or how little he should be blamed. Mr. Griffith's, while believing that the youngster had been hardly dealt with, was of tho opinion tint there might Us a certain amount of exa_ r i;er:ithiii in >.hu boy's charges. It is the object of the home to submit the buy for a thorough medical examination to see how far the injuries ^if auy> have ex- tended As fur Mr. Beat's hue of defence The AdvancA knows nothing excepting what has come to our earn as rumor*. lie has nut submitted a statement of his case to us, and we are ih.-rel'ore unable as yet to publish hia vemn of the atfair. We understand that he claims the boy was simulating illness, and that he had a faculty ( falling into a fit > whenever hu so deaireJ. In reply to this we have to lay that the magistrate who attended the little fvllow to ftMcuru Ins dopoaitiou was Mr. M. Richardson. .<( Fleahvrtou, and a in- re c.i i!i ms, iib.tei .-ant and unbiased man could net have been found to in- vestigate the case. Mr. Richardson is a sharp judge of human na'ure, and to say that he could have been fooled into be- ving a cinue of this nature had been CKinmited when none had been savors of uf absurdity iu oar mind. Added to Mr. Kicliiirusou'c testimony, too, is that t Ur. Halstead, wh > attended the invalid. We have his report in writing before us, whiu'i reads as follows : "The boy hag iiiin.orous marks on hia Uxly and Ice* like scars and bruises. They have no appearance of eruption or skin disease i o maiks of that kind ou his body. Found feet in open sores festering from neglect. AUlojucn swollen and very tender tn touch ; tongue dry and coau-d; very thirsty ; stupor, and talk sometimes incoherent." Dr. Halstead behoved the boy to be in a critical condition, and spent one whole night at his bedside, re- turning again the next day. While en- tertaining au abhorrence of injuring an innocent man, The Advance feels that in this c.ise it had good and sufficient grounds to bring the matter before the public. While tho boy might not luo been what he should - while he might even have been a veiy bad U-\ it aa not just cause wkjf he should bo physically injured. If in t wia'actory he should have been returned vo the honm. The exeotue ia offered that the home authorities gave a letter sanctioning chastisement, but we fall to tin, I that they sanctioned an unnatural ci>r|x<itl p-inlhiniit. which, from alt the evidence we can gather, appears U> have been ad- miuisterod.

This new and novel (entertainment gotten up by the EL T. of T of this place, came off as advertised on Tuesday evening. The character of the entertain- ment was such as to be worthy of a fuller house than it had, and we were surprised to and that a number, from whom better things would be expected, took no in- terest whatever in it. The atfair was gotten up with a benevolent object iu view, viz., of creating a deeper interest j in elocution, and in this object him it been most successful. Financially, too, it was successful, in that it paid all ex- penses. M. Kicharuson, Esq., occupied the chair most acceptably. The com- mittee appointed by the meeting to ad- judicate upon the merits of the various readers consisted of Rev. Mr. Tonge.Miss Chnstoe, Mr. A. Reid, teacher, Mr Thorpe Wright, and Mr McDonald. Their deliberations were acceptable to the j audience, and a hearty vote of thanks was tendered them at the close. Part 1. of the program consisted of music by the Royal choir, song by Mr. Kd. Richard- sou, selection of committee and readings by tho juniors. In this class the little folk acouitted themselves remarkably well, anil made the competition keen and interesting. The prizes of 2, $1, and 50 cents were distributed as follows Miss Maggie Sinclair 1st, Miss Mamie Beattie 2nd, and MUs Flora Powell 3rd. Mr. Evans and Miss Damude favored the audience with solos, and Mrs. W. Trimble with a recitation. In the -cond part Miss Millie Vandusen and Miss Belle Christ >e rendered two ol' in an excellent manner. The read- ing were mostly old favorites, and the competition was very clone. The prize winners were Miss Annie Richardson lit. Mr*. W. hwm '.'lid, Miss Slack and Mr. Alf Thurston ties, for one of which .t fourth prize was given, owing to the gen- erally of Mr. R:ch<trdsoii. A solo by Mrs. Irwin ai.d IIIUMC by the royal choir* completed the program. The eiitertaiu- inrni was a most interesting une. and, as the chairman remarked, we have seen the Town Hall packed to thu doors to hear a much inferior program. A movement is on foot to secure a hospital for Owen Sound. CAME _ASTRAY- Cim to tb* prrniitM of the und*r*iin>c'(l. ,. ( 1, con. , Kupbrsr i. about Oct. 1st, S y*rllr heifer*.
