 mmwm^sm^if^^^m^' h u Si' The Standard. MARKDALE, SEPT. 6th, 1883. NEW FIBM. Mr. Lucas, has disposed of his Sash Door Factory, to Geo. Grant Co. of this place. Mr. Grant is having the machinery set up and will com- mence operations in about two weeks. The main building is 30x50 teet and two stcry high, while the sheds whieh are of substantial frame, are 24x80 ft in the rear. This will make a spa- cious factory, where Plaining, Sash Door, and general Furniture manu- facturing will be carried on extensive- ly We wish the new firm every suc- cess. THE COOK FAMILY MURDEREE MoNTKEAL, Aug. 31.â€" Frederick Mann, the young Englishman who is charged with the diaboUcal murder of several members of the Cook family in this province last year, has made several attempts to cheat the execu- tioner by escaping trom L'Original jail. His first attempt was nearly successful, as ne had scaled the walls surrounding the building, but some boys on the outside commenced ston- ing the Malefactor, and the noise brought the warden in time to prevent the prisoner making off. The second attempt was also a bold bid for liber- ty. It appears the warden had gone away for a day, and left a feeble old man to look after the murderer. On the new keeper entering the pri- soner's sell the latter saw his oppor- tunity, and got out and locked his at- tendant in. The incarcerated man called so loudly as to attract the at- tention of the warden's wife who gave the alarm, which brought the as- sistance, and made the second trial as unsuccessful as the first. The pri- soner occupies his iJluess ia reading and walking tbrough the corridors and park of the jail, seemingly quite insensible to the peril he is in. His trial will take place in September.

From a correspondent. A SnccEss. â€" We had the privilaTe tliis week of witnessing for the first time a se'f binding reaper, a "Ma-^sv Low Down" at work, bein;? on the farm of Mr, Andrew Beattie, OraD»e Valley. The grain was badly lodged barley yet the machine did its work m an exceedingly satisfactory mau uer. This improved labor saviog machine is a boon to the harvest oper- ations. The harvest in Cuckoo Valley is about all wound up this week. THE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS London, Sept. 1.â€" Despatches from Batavia report that fears of further eruptions in Java have subsided. All efforts are concentrated on the bnnal of the corpses, which are thickly strewn on the coast. The Vapours issuing from the fissures in the divid- ed Mountains have caused unusuallr rapid decompcsition of exposed parts of the great rocks at the summits of the peaks. A number of them split apart suddenly on Wednesday, releas- ing tons of dependmg earth. This caused several huge landslides, carry- ing destruction and death on the edge of the town of Narra. Fifteen Chine- se in a section of the sanitary corps were buried. A vessel which attempt- ed to enter the Straigts of Sunda had a hole stove in ner bow. Batavia, Sept. 1.â€" The coffee and sugar crops in Bantam have suffered severely from the eruptions and tidal waves. Several Europeans and offi- cials are among the dead and missing. Amstebdam, Sept. 2. â€" It is believed that 100,000 persons perished in North Bantam in the recnt calmity. It is also believed that the garrison and Fort Anjer were swept away. An extensive plain of volcanic stone has formed in the sea near Lompong, Sumatra, preventing communication with Telkbelong and south-west Java, The Hague. Sept. 2.â€" The Gover- nor General of British India has sent two agents to Bantam to ascertain tbe extent of the calamity in Java and the neighboring islands. Ships have sent to warn vessels approaching the Strait of Sunda of the danger of navigation. A committee with the Prince of Or- ange at its head has been formed here to collect subscriptions toward the re- lief of the sufferers by tbe calmity. .e x â€" Waening to Farmers. â€" The follow- ing from the Chatham Tribune expla- ins how farmers in that section are being tricked by a sharper: â€" For some weeks past a tall fine looking gent- leman may be seen going to and fro hunting up people who had farms to sell something in this way: â€" You paid hira ^2 to commence with, he then drew a plan of your farm, takin down tbe price you want, and so fourth. He then proposed to advertise your farm throughout the United States, Canada and England and find you a buyer if possible, in which case he retains 2^ per cent, of your price and if he gets more he pockets the same, with the percentage. This agreement lasts tor twenty years and you cannot sell yousrelf during that time without paying him the 2^ per cent. To our mind people making such argeements as the above are ether born fools or entirely blind. Served Him Right. â€" On Wednesdav of last week a man named Henry Yeo got a horse and buggy from Paterson's livery stable, to go as far aa Kilsyth and return. When he got to Kilsyth instead of returning he picked uj) a female companion and drove on thro- ugh Tara, Invermay, and Arkwiight to Southampton. Leaving his com- panion there he started back and got as far as Tara, when the horse dropped on the street, never having been fed or rested the whole way. He left the horse at Tara to be cared for by a hotelkeeper, and coolly started off by train for Hcpworth, not returniug here till Friday evening, when he found the Chief wating fur hiia with a warrant. He was brought before the Police jMagistrate on Saturday, and sent for six months to the Central Prison, where he %yill have time \o reflect on the pre per treatment of horses. â€" 0. S. Times. The Canada Pacific Railroad is being pushed on with great rapidity. When this year's work is complte'd only 280 miles of the road will he unfinished. Calgarry is now the westren terminus. Fro^u Oak Lake, sixty-five miles west of Winnipeg, to Gal. gariy the road cost $100,000,000. Education. â€" The great mistake in the education of girls, and for that matter of bjys, is that they master noiliin" A little liear and a little tl'ere is the plan. The object seems to be to ena- lile the pupil to give a long calalogue of things studied. And for this charl- atanism the parents who d«!maud it are chiefly responsible. There are schools which are thorough. It is not for us to point them out, but for pur- enta to be sme that they are not caught with the chaff of »n emply pretense. In educaliou, veneering will peel off. ESTRAY. CAME INTO THE PBEMI- Bxs of the Bubscriber. Lot lo. Con 11, Glenelg, »boot the S!.trd Aggpst. A brown mare wUh white hind feet.
