That Orangeism is not on ths^ decline in Euphrasia is evident from the con- stantly increasing membership of the numerous lodges within the district. The fourth line lodge No. 54, has, sjnse it was resuscitated about u year ago, met with success which must be gratifying to its officers and to members of the order generally. A special meeting was held in the hall of this lodge on Tuesday evening last for the purpose of conferring the Eoyal Arch degree upon the following of its members, viz: Gilbert Gilmore, Samuel Martin, Wm. Perry, Henry Gilchrist, jr., Wm. Cook and Octavus Sparling. The dagree was also conferred upon Bro. W. H. Dodson, of Eocklyn lodge. There was a large attendance of brethern from neighboring lodges. Among them were Bro. Thos. Henry, School Corps. Deputy County Master, Meaford Bro. eeUs at 15 cents per copy Montgomery, County Lecturer, Clars- ' ' ' burg; Bro. Thomas Gilray, District Master Bros.

BUILDING BoBNED.â€" The fine new building of the Great Northern Agricultural Society, situate in the town park, which was only completed at a cost of from $8,000 to §10.000 last Sep^ tember, and nsd then for the first time, has been destroyed by fire^ At 2:80 last Tuesday morning fire was discovered issuing from the main building, and before half an hour had elapsed, the entire building, as ell as the machinery hall was a mass of ruins. It was the intention of the Society to improve on tlie buildings to the extent of $5,000, and the contract for this work had only been closed laet week. The buildings were at the time of the fire all locked, tied it ia difficult, to conjecture how gach an isolated building eoold catch fire. The genera! unpresaoai is that it origuu^ by the hands of an iip- eendiaaf;' Insored in tiM Boyftl t fi^goranee GoiBPftny for $1,800. The average healthy adult man takes into his system four and a half pounds of water daily, and with it ton often a dangerous quantity of foreign matter and disease-producing germs. In very many homes during the summer months, water that other- wise would nauseate the drinker, is made cold by ice, and then is hastily swallowed, the coldness masking its offensiveriess. Uufortnnately for the health of the consumer, tne addition ot ice does not render the impurities in water innocuous, but often adds to iytsowncantributionofdisease-geime. The only safe-guard to the consumer is iu giving his personal attention to the filtration of the water used in his household. Water slowly percolated througb crushed vegetable charcoal will escape from it not only cleansed of particles held in suspension, but also of organic and other matter, the cheapness of charcoal is such that it is obtainable by all classes, and when soiled, a fresh quantity can be substituted at trifling cost. The most effective filtration is obtained by placing crushed charcoal in an earthen vessel, so arranged as to compel the slow passage of the water through it, as all efforts at rapid filtration have prove* inefficient. Only wooded spigots suoald be used in drawing off the water. A reservoir for the filtered water with a seperate ice-cliamber, will permit the water to be sufficiently chilled and kept all ice impurities out. Such a contrivance requires but very little room, is easily cleaned, the coal renewed, and is efficient in freeing water from impurities, â€" Da. Edwin J.
