It is a beautiful 14-p.'i2e edition, on tine paper and highly illustrated, and a distinct credit to that lively western town. In scanning the page.s we notice that Oxbow is not exactly a treeless town, and there are a uumbor of fine young trees coming along. This, to the Ontar- io iimii, will go a long way to improving the town, and we are glad to note that it is not altogether a shadeless town. H. D. Ptdlar, i\ graduate of this office, holds down a lucrative position on The Herald. The Locals Lose In BasebalL As we predicted last week the Mark- dale baseball team wandered into town on Friday last and enjoyed a p'.easaul game of toss with the locals, coming out on top, score 17 â€" 11. If the umpire en- joyed it as much as the players he must be a peculiar composition. The local sports are not as a rule poor losers â€" some say they do so much of it that this is no credit to them, but we can't see it that way. For some reason, at any rate, the decisions of the umpire were adverse to the locals to such an exti'nc as to being down upon his head the wrath of the local fan.s â€"and we believe he deserved it all. The Advance was only represented by the Scrapping Editor and he was (with many utheri>)insoclose conveisation with "His Umps" that many fine points of the game were lost. However, it seems to have been a fact that wjien there was call for a decision which tiieanc anything to Flesherton it was adverse. There is no grouch against the Mark- dale players â€" they were the better team, we believe, but the decided opinion of the fans is that the score would have been much closer had the referee not played (in hia decisions) with the visitors, but given the home bunch oven a fighting chance. It is safe to say that the umpire will never again preside as such in a game in which the locdls have anything to say in the matter. As for the visiting players â€" well they were Markdale's best, and that burg has a team that can play something more than marbles. The Flesherton boys have no cause for shame as regards the quality of baseball they put up, and they are to be congratulated for their sportsmanship in continuing the play against the visiting nine assisted by the umpire, The play- ers weie : Markdale â€" G.

Orangeville, June 13. â€" Crown Attor- ney McKay and High Constable Hughes have just returned from Orton, a small vilUge aear here, after investiaating a very unusual case. Winnifred Black, aged about twenty, was chirged before Magistrates Stewart Tate and G. M. Hawes with putting a solution of water and paris green over cerljiin lilac bushes growing on her father's farm, which pro- ject over the fence on the road. She and her mother resented the action of the children attending the neiuhboringschool. who were in the habit of plucking the flowers. Mr. J. C. Henderson, the teacher of Orton L^uion School, gave evidence that on the 31st ult. about 12.45 p.m. he saw the accused spraying the bushes with green liquid. There had been trouble on the day in question over the school children helping themselves to the lilacs and they had reported that Mrs. Black had chased them with a gun. Aggie Armstrong and several other scholars corroborated this. Miss Black was committed for trial, bail being furn- ished by her father. Mrs. Black was tried on the charge of pointing a gun, and a tine was imposed. As the children are in the habit of eating the flowers, which contain honey, fatal results might have followed if the paris green was actually used as alleged. Fisherâ€"Radley Last Wednesday evening the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Radley, gravel road, Ruckvale, was the scene of a happy event, when Rev. A. P. Stanley of Max- well joined in marriage their daughter. Miss Eva Radley, to Mr. Edward Fisher of Toronto. Mr. Fred Radley gave his sister away. She wis gowned in a beautiful rich dre.ss of white duchess satin ribbon inlaid with wide Valencienne lace. Hei bouquet was white carnations and maidenhair fern. The two little flower girls, who are nieces of the bride, were Miss Myrtle Brown of Toronto, wearine a dainty frock of pale blue Japanese silk with tine lace insertion ; and little Lcta Partridge, who was very pretty in a frock of white silk mull with Valenciennes insertion. Garlands of apple blossoms were caught here and there on their frocks and blos- soms in their hair and on their .shoes.aud both carried baskets of roses and carna- tions. The bridal party stood under an arch of evergreens and white blossoms. The tables were pretty with baskets of cut flowers for decoration. The bride, who was very popular, re- ceived many lovely prt.sents. The groom's gift to the bride was a gold locket set with brilliants. Miss Myrtle Brown le- ceived a pearl crescent and Miss Leta Paitridge a gold locket engraved. The bride's going aivay gown was a stylish pale blue princess over which she wore a long silk poplin coat and a large drooping white silk braid hat banked with ailK rosts and lilacs. Mr. and Mis. Fisher will take up resi- dence ill Toronto. ^ Odds and Ends MISCELLANEOUS W. A. Armstrong issuer of marriage licenses.
