Were they Stolen.â€" On Wednes- day night, 17th, a pair of oxen was taken out ofthe field of George Ireton, Glenelg. Mr. Ireton missed them the following morning aud tracked them out of the field through the gate and about half a mile along the road, but failed to find them they howeyer, re- turned of their own accord the follow- ing evening. It still remains a mystery how they were taken out, whether it was an intentional theft, and the thief let the oxen go, finding he was being closely pursued, or, whether they were droye out for a joke, and allowed to return Fire in Euphrasia. â€" On Thursday evening last, Mr. Ford, a farmer on the townline of Euphrasia and Collingwood townships two miles- from Heathcote had his house, barn and outhouses together with all the seasons grain destroyed by fire. Ho had just finished threshing and wok putting the chaff back into the barzy, and wwked nntil after dark, had lantern with him he went into the house for something and while absent a colt ran over the lantern, setting the straw on fire; there was no possibility of saving anything the flames soon spread to the house which was but a short distance away. This is a very heavy loss as Mr. Ford had no insar- ance, What the Governor-General said abont Ont. at the London fair isworth bearing in mind. He had been look- ing up the figures aud fonnd thai oirtr of the total number of horses in the Dommion, Ontario owned one-half; out of the number of horned cattle in theDominion, Ontario owned one-half; ont of total of forty-two million bush- els of wheat grown in the Dominion, Ontario grew thirty-two millions oii^. of sixteen million bushels of barlev grown in the Dominion, Ontario raised fourteen millions, and out of forty-eight million bushels-of roots, Ontario grew forty millions. He might have added, that Ontario was also the milch oow- of the Dommion, only that it would^ not have been politic for him. to say^ so. W0UI.D commercial union with the United States mean the separation of. Canada from Great Britain The- Tory organs argue that it would, just as the Grit organs used to argue some years ufo that the N.
