A coHMuncATioN cune this week to hand for pnbUcation in reference to something which appeared recently in a neighboring paper. We find enough to do to keep clear of such entanglements without interfereing with that which does not concers us, and therefore decline publishing it. At a meeting of the Synod of Huron held at London last week a resolution was introduced to give women a vote at the church vestry meetings Uvely discussion the motion was with- drawn owing to the time at their disposal being to limited to fully discuss the merits of the question. The hot weather seems to have had the effect of softening of the brain on the part of our Council. The jobs let on Main Street appears to have been let for the sole purpose of opening a clear view from the vicinity of the post office to the railway. That will be very desirable, no doubt, but then it is no practical benefit, and costs considerable money. Next Tuesday will be Dominion Day, and a great throng is expected in town from the country and villages surround- ing. Let every citizen show his loyalty to his country and respect for Markdale by taking some part in the celebration. Adorn your business place or private residence with flags and bunting.

Miss Fanning will be missed by her many friends at Holland Centre, especially by the Presbyterian church where she has for some time presided at the organ, which position she has ably and successfully filled. She has had under her training a juvinile choir, the progress of which reflects much credit on both leader and the members. They regret very much her removal from among them. She carries with her the best wishes of her many friends. â€" Com. Lovers of Ron, Gun and Canoe, should not fail to secure copies of the book "Fishing and shooting," issued by the General Passenger Department of the Canadian Pacific Railway, for the season of 1890. It is bound in conyenient pocket form and contains a vast amount of reliable information concerning the best locaUties for game and fish in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Assinaboia, Alberta and British Colum- bia, and the states of Maine, Michigan and Wisconsin; the whole embellished with numerous handsome illustrations. Covering as it does, the haunts of game and fish from the Atlantic to the Pacific, it should prove invaluable to the followers of Ninrod and Walton. Copies .furnished free upon application to W. K.

A couple of young men driving a horse and buggy ran into a cow which was lying on the road near Inistioge last Sunday night. The cow was thrown into the ditch, the buggy capsized, the horse and gallant youths throvni into a heap, while confusion and consternation was only equalled by the dense fog and impenetrable darkness of the night. With the aid of a lantern, procured from I a neighboring farmer, the fragments were put together and Markdale reached in good time for work Monday morning, no serious damage being done â€" that is, if the cow recovered. Carlow at »«. y i' m^»*«»iff On Thursday night last a large New- foundland dog accompanied his mistress to prayermeeting in Markdale. This species of canine are proverbial for their intelligence, and Carlow appeared anxious to take some part in the service on.this occasion, so during the opening prayer, which was being led by the pastor, the dog walked up softly and unnoticed and standing in front reached up his head and touched the minister on the nose with his tongue. Opening his eyes in surprise the parson beheld the large black animal in froiit of him waging his tail good naturedly. The deyotions were however proceeded with without interruption, and none. but the minister knew what had occurred. FIRST JULY! FIRST JULY!

The editor of the Flesherton Advance appears deeply concerned about the course pursued by his neighbors of the press. As for the Standabd, we have always had enough to do in attending to our bvm business, and can attribute largely the degree of success which the Standard has attained, to this practice. We are not selfish, how- ever, and will offer no serious objections to the Flesherton man taking a "leaf from our book" in this respect. PoUti- cally, our patrons know just where we are, hence there is no need of bearing testimony through the press from week to week. The Advance man tells his readers that he supported Major Rorke in the late cunpaign, and that in this election he followed his own convictionB. Who would have doubting his sincerity Those loud professions, however, appear significant, but we will delegate the question of his true poUtical hearings to ue popular ZVtbMiaf furthermore, it is truly refreshing, after learning that the editor had taken so mnch pains to show the extreme smallneas ol the recent vote pcdied in Coitre Gxey.tobeaasoDedthat all the Advance sahscribera voted.
