Our readers wdl remember an item in the Standlbd a ftw week* ago in xeference to the burning of a house in Ivtjppel township, near Wiarton, in which two men â€" Jas. A. Bailey and a hired man. whose name is unknown â€" perished in the flames. A post mortem examination was held and marks of nolence found on the bodies, and evidence going to show tnat a murder had been committed, and that the house was set on Are to cover the black deed. Detective Rogers has since been working up the case, and has succeed- ed in unravelling the mystery so far as to the confession of one who knows the secret and the arrest of the sup- posed guilty parties whe are now in Owen Sound gaol. The parties arrested arc Ellen Mc- Cleary, a girl who lives next door to the burned house; Charles McClearj^, her brother James King, and John Wilson. The evidence so far point strongly to the guilt of the two last named. Other witnessss are expected to throw further light on the affair. Bailey was not murdered for money but through jealousy. YOUNG PEOPLE'S SOCIETY. The young people of the Methodist congregation of this place met on Monday evening last in the basement of the church and formed themselves into a society with the following officers â€" Mr. F, Porter, President. " J. E. Crone, Isl Vice-President Miss 8. Armstrong, 2nd do. Mr. W. T. Jackman, Secretary. Miss L. Rorke, Treasurer. nmECTOBS R. O. Whitby, J. R. Mathews, Miss S.

All the young people of the congregation are considered members of this society, and are ex- pected to be co-workers. The next meeting will be on Mon- day evening nt^xt after Bible clasj, in the basement, when a large attendance is requested. BtMOS BY BBV The members of Dufferin Liodge I. 0, 0. F. of this village celebrated the sixtj-seventh anmyereary of Oddfel- lowship in America by attending divme service in the Methodist church here on Sabbath evening last. The breth- ren assembled m their Hall about 6 p.m. After clothing in regalia march- ed to the church. Rev. Bro. W. Ayers conducted the service, reading for scripture lesson the 20th chap, of tbe First Book of Samuel, and seiectmg for his text tire il, 12 13 verses of 31st chap, of First Samuel. "And they fottnd an Egyptian in the field and brought bim to David, and gave him bread and he did eat and they made hun drink water. And they gave bim a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins, and when he had eaten his spirit eame again to him for he had eaten no bread nor drank any water, three days and three nights," c., c. The speaker then went forward to prove that the lesson taught in the text was that which was daily and weekly being practiced by true Odd- fellows. The principal planks in Odd- fellowship bemg, Ist, Friendsnip; 2nd, Love, and 8rd, Truth. It afford- ed a broad platform on which all who desired could benefit their fellow be- ings. The order was strictlv religious and highly moral, and ho regarded Oddfellowship as Jthe Handmaid of Re- Union. Closing, he urged every broth- er and member to love his Heavenly Father, and to ever look and pray for the dawning of that better day when one shall not have to say to his neigh- bor "Know je the Lord." During the service the choir ren- dered a very choice anthem. Miss Richardson sang a solo very sweetly and much to the delight of all who beard her* On Monday evening the members with their families, of Dufferin Lodge I. 0. O. F. assembled in their Hall in the capacity of a social gathering to further celebrate the anniversary of the order. Good things were provided by the ladies. Various amusements were entered into during the evening, and at the close a short but interest- ing programme was gone through, when aU separated for their homes well pleased with the evening's en- joyment.

I beUeve it is the first in the township. Fall wheat is looking better sines the late rain it promisei an average crop. James O'Brianhas moved from the bleak and inhospitable shores of Arte- mesia to the more congenial neighbor- hood of Eimberley. John Hnrlbert, one of the early pioneers here, is going to move to the N. W. soon. The Orangemen pre- sentcid him with a medal, hx his bravwy, I suppose, in remioding a few Gacholies here of defeat at the Boyne. However, be that as it may, no matter iiow we may differ in opinion as to the prcdeuee and manlinesss of re- Ireshiog people's memories of thove old strifes, one thing is certam Mr. Hnrlbert, as a neighbor, is highly re- spected, and-^ewisfa him snccess and happiness in his new N.

Fall wheat is looking well, but there is a smaller acreage sown than usual. Mr. Walter Perry, son of ths Bev. D. Perry, is home on a visit. Mr. Mclntyre, Presbyterian minis* t«r, and family have moved here, being stationed here for six months in place of Mr. Mann as announced som« time since. There was joy at the house of Mr. Gso. Crowther the other day when a daughter came to town â€" the first in ten years of married life.â€" In honor of the event Mayor Crowther proclaimed a civic holiday. The flag on the "Queen's Hotel" could be seen bU over town. We were first under th«. impression that Irelaad has 8«ear«d Home Bule, but soon learned ths ti ne cause of th« rejoicing. Oar sidewalks are in need of re- pair; hope onr Mayor will attead, •Ise there will b« a change in onr ballot next election.
