 "Ml 1-MlJ*'**""-** Tha Standard. MABKDALE JULY 80. 1886. WELCOME, BRAVE BOYS. On Thursday last three trains of the ret arcing volunteers passed through on their home trip, when ilarkdale did honor to the brave boys in a most enthusiastic manner. At eleven o'clock a. m. every avenue and nook in and around the station was crowded by anxious mothers and maidens, to catch a glance of those who had so nobly defended their honour and homes. Our citizens had erected a yery neat arch on the triumviral style of Boman architecture, the centre being adorned with a Royal Standard, in all its gorgeous hues of the Royal Scarlet, while on either side were its unison emblems of Union Jacks. A centre motto adorned the arch with the words "Welcome Home " while other suit- able mottoes adorned the pillars of the structure. Some disappointment was felt by the audience at the short delay by the railway train but, we must pay all due regard to the energy of our persevering station master, Mr. Caesar. Indeed every citizen lent their best energies to the work. The following address was delivered by John Lyons. Esq. To General Middleton, officers and men under his command, comprising the "Queen's Own" and "Tenth Royals," Canadian Volunteers: General,, â€" Permit us, the residents of ^ilarkdale.

The locomotive gave a snort, and the boys were whirled away to their respective homes. Tiie poov)le of each station along ihe line turned out to welcome the boys, but when they reached Toronto the number of people, the decorations of the city and the enthusiaam would be impossible to describe. 100,000 people were in the street, and each one boding over with enthusiasm. iSome of the Volunteers said that tne excitement at the capture of Batouche was nothing to that in Toronto on their return.

The hot weather, and holiday season is now with us, the time when friend visits friend and especially to those confined to crowded city life is it not pleasant to enjoy for a while the freedom of country life 7 J. W. Henderson; Esq., and family, of Toronto,are now visiting Mends in this locality. Mr. Clark, of the Hamilton Times, and Mr. Aikmhed, of Toronto, witii their wiyes are spending some holidays with J. W. Armstrong. Esq., in this village. All in our village appeared very enthusiastic over the return of our soldiers from the North- West. On Thursday last shops and business places were closed and business was almost suspended for the greater part of the afternoon while almost every man, woman aud child wended their way to the depot. Ouir No. C Com- pany of Volunteer, under command of Lieut. Field, was also present iu full dress and all prepared for giving t!:e brave boys a right, royal and hearly welcome. Lieut, Field drew' up Lis men in single tile on the plat- form and immediately in front the ladies were giyeu pooition in same file, j each c.irryiug a boquet of flowers. The first troops to arrive was the I "Queen's Ov\-n," aud as the train steamed into the yard the large com- pany ot some hundreds present sang the 'So'diers Welcome Home," when the train had stopped and eager hands grastjed the flowers as they were thrown into the train, and the poor fellows, whose hearts were touched with the kindness of the ladies, haying nothing better to give, threw out buttons off their coats, cartrige boxes, c., with a God Bless the ladies. The Band then played the "British Grenadiers" when three cheers were given for the soldiers, which was reciprocated by them by three cheers for our volunteers and three rousing cheers for the ladies. A few boxes of cigars provided by some of our boys was distributed among the sun burnt boys on the train, when the signal was given, and with waving of hands, caps, c., and prolonged cheers the heavy train started on her onward journey to carry the brave lads to their own sweet home. The same reception was tendered the "Grena- diers" and "Body Guards" as their respective trains arrived a little later in the afternoon. WasItRiel! To Uie Editor of the St\ndakd. Dear Sik.â€" Seeing in your issue of last week an account of the descent of a "Something" on the farm of Mr. Sanderson, we write to-day to tell you that that something left our village on Tuesday evening Julv 14ta. For some hours durin? the' day persons were seen to pass silently and quietly up a pair of stairs and disaonear, and each person as he came and went seemed to moove in an air of mislerv' As the hours went by the raisterv deepned until about euuset when ail our dark suruMsings weie puttoflii'ht by the appearence m the air of° a rising baloon, then as the truth for(!«d Itself upon us cbe*-r alter cheer made the welkiu ring.

News rather 6C5uce this week, as there has been no picket fence walk- ing, or any stone walls breaking down; but we must not forget to mention that we mourn the loss of our esteemed citizen, John Miller.and tlie menagerie of mules and jackasses, who made their departure from our midst on Monday night of last week, bound for their new home in Alpena, where we believe he intends to deal extensively in the fowl and feather line â€" a pretty good business on that side. On the evening of his departure he did not forget to use the lads well who assist- ed in helping him ofl, and they soon were so boozy they could sing or whistle and play the Jewsharp, and some got arguing scripture, but not much benefit was derived from this. It was comical to see 3'oung "Bill" sitting on the little eulky .in which the little jassask was placed ready for a start; but, although little BiU has been used very rough by the boys around, yet he did not forget to go around and bid them aU a kind far^ weU. When leaving they were cheered by many voices till out of eighty ihe foUowiDg moiciog the door oT ibe dwelling was draped in mourning, which presented a very E^ad appearance to the place, and although we cannot hear the brays of tue little jassack and see the sweet smiling face of John and the rest^ yet they will long be re- membered by the people of this viuimty. Last Friday evening a couple of village dodee, both wearing about u No. 5 shoe, took a stroll out of the village to see a young lady, about half a mile distant, bat unfortunately one was a little behind the other in going, bat he met the others at the bars and they all sat down together on the grass till some other young folks was coming along, then they hid in the wheat till they passed by, and then along eame the third, for the second one in going, as be was wanted at his business place, so the poor fellow had rather bad lad, didn't he 7 But it wasn't long till the other had to skin out also. We wish them better suc- cess another time. Mr. John Gordon, of Manitoulin Island, brother of our highly respected friend, Bobert Gordon, is visiting friends in the neighborhood. Jackson L. Little, of Owen Sound, paid a brief yisit to his brother in this place. Miss Christena Gamey, of Xottawa- saga, is visiting friends in this place. New potatoes are pleutiful, and also a good size. Quite a number of people are j through haying. Fall wheat is chaug- j ing its color fast, and will soon be tit I to cut. j Quite a number of boys went down j last Sabbath evening ou the banks of 1 the beaver aud pelted stones at the 1 house occupied by Jlrs. Miller and her I family, but the compliment was re- j turned by showers of bullets, but no I one was hurt. We think our boys should have more sense than to break the Sabbath in this manner. If they don't know better, they will have to be taught. We noticed in Feversham news of last week, a Maxwell item iu reference to John Miller, formerly of this place. We think it must be as quiet a place as it looks to be, when the correspond- ent cannot gather a few items without taking in Maxwell. Business is rushing at Herron's hollow. Large loads of wool are con- tinually going from there to the sta- tion, where it is shipped to Toronto. Bhiz. THE BEST YET.

A Plucky Female. The following item of news we received from a lady subscriber at Toronto with the request to publish, and also requesting the Monitor and Owen Sound papers to copy. The Mrs. Freeman referred to is a daugh- ter of Mr. James Loycock, who resides on the 7th line of St. Vincent. She is also a mece to Mr. John Hill, Meaford, and will be well known to the majority of our readers. This is what our fair correspondent says: Mrs. Geo. Freeman, of THvnto, daughter of Mr. James Layeock, St. Vincent togather with a yonng lady friend, were out for a ride on horse- back. They had not proceeded far when they cams in contact with a large blowing adder, a very venonwas viper. The young lady made o£F as fast as her horse would carry her, but Mrs. Freeman dismounted, tied her horse, secured a stick and with a few well directed blows killed the reptile, which, had she not done so, might have caused the death of one or more persons. The snake measured 5 feet 7 inches in length and w^ 9 inches circumference iu the largest place. During the melee Mrs. Freeman lost a valuable gold watch but was fortun- ate enough to secure it again. Our correspondent concludes the item by saying: "Not so bad for a female," and w^e must admit the action of Mrs. i'reeman proves her to be possessed of no small amouirc of. nerve.- -Meaford Mirror. â€" .,. ,^ e^clianog .i luxury of sleeping ou a la„n ' phmk for any new-fangled invj ^1 There are quite a uumber.like lih I the city just now. tl A fbequent*aSoya;,,p Mauy people suffer from distreS sick headaches and bilious attack ' frequent occurrance whicli a uJ "1 two of Burdock Blood t3:.._ °"l«or| Bitters Mm •-«»-.- ANINVlSmLE FOE.

Slabb lag Affiay at Chats wortli COMMIT! KU TO GAOL. A stabbing affray of a serious nature occurred at Chatsworth on Monday evening last.. As far as we have been able to learn it bad its origin in a quarrel which took place on Dominion Day, between some of the young men of the village and some colored men named Bowie. The Bowies are described as quiet, inoffensive eitizens when let alone, but passionate wben roused, as they sometimes are, by the thoughtless taunts of young meo m the neighborhood. On Monday evening it appears that Allen Bowie was passing down the street, when several young men came out U a tavern, and one of them (not the aqo who was afterward stabbed) said "Ho could hck any d d niggei in the place," making hostile demonetnitioDS. There was a fight, and Bowie appeared to be getting the bettar of his Msailant when one of the other young men kicked him on the head. His kotber and wife then appeared oa the scene and got Bowie away but the joong men followed them up with aboivand threats, and another figbt took plaee, Bowie plungmg a knife into the neck of a young man named Alex. Mitchell. The wound was a very deep one, te' blood spurting several feet from it. Bowie was at ooce arrested and bas been committed to the gaol here to await his trial. The wounded man had medical attendance promptly, and we are pleased to learn though tb6 wuund is a senous one. he is expected to recover.â€" O. S, Times.
