The proBpects for baddmg the coming summer in Markdale are good, considering the financial depression. The Methodist chnrch will be a very fine stmctore, to be 42 feet loug by 72 wide, built of soUd brick with stone basement, seating capacity 600, and will cost about $7,000. Mr. Wm. Douglass will build a fiue brick residence almost opposite the iletbodist church. Haskett Bro's expect to build a large brick block adjoining their hardware premises. John McKenna is preparing to eretit a large addition to his shop for a carriage making establishment. Mr. Irvine proposes removing the oooper shop now occupied by J. H. Hull, and put up a large building on that corner. W. J. McFarland expects to im- prove and perhaps enlarge his mercantile premises. Moffat Bro's will likely enlarge their foundry to at least double its present size. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. "By cap. 86, Revised Statutes of Ontario, all Births, Marriages and Deaths which take place throughout the Province of Ontario are required to be registered with the Clerk of the Municipality in which the occurrence takes place. Refusal or neglect to make these re- ports or any of them within the spacifi- ed time, will subject the persen or persous so neglacting or refusing, to pay a peualty of $20 and costs." The specified time is, after the occurence, for births 80 days, marriages, 90 days and for deaths 10 days. Each Post OflSce is supplied with blants for this purpose where they can be procured without cost, and are carried through the mail free of postage. The clerks o^the surround- ing municipalities, who are tlie registrars for their several townships with their address are, for Glenelg, J. S. Black, Pomona P. 0.; Artpmesia, W. J. Bellamy, Flesherton Osprey, Wm. Milne, Maxwell Holland, C. Price, Williamsford Euphrasia, R. Dunlop, Griersville. MARKDALE CHEESE FACTORY. The result oi the last year's op- erations of the above factory were on the whole satisfactory, and we are Teiy much pleased to see a much grater interest taken in it the coming season. A number of new patrons bavebeen added, and old ones are increasing their patronage, so that already the number of cows promised is double that of last year. This is iudced encouraging alike to manu- facturer and patrons, as the great expense of the past season was the cost of hauling a comparative small quantity of milk from a i;iven territory. This difficulty will in a great measure be overcome as the expense of getting the milk will not be increased while the quantity will be doubled thereby decreasing the cost of hauling fifty per cent. ^e patrons are well awire of this, »ud are therefore very hopeful of the results of the coming, summer. We only wish their most sanguine expectations may be realized. THE QUESTION OF THE DAY. "What is good for a cold " is a ques- tion often asked, bat seldom satufao tory answered. We can answer to the satisfaction of all, if they will fol^ low our advise and try Hagyard'e Pectoral Balsam, a safe, pleasant and certain throat and long healer. Bold by all Druggists. â-  â- â€¢â-  « MintM for letter- WritiUK* Letters should always be written in a neat and distinct chirograpliy. The sentences phould be constructed with such thoughtful care, that the meaning intended will be readily undei stood. Gummed envelopes are now in almost universal use nevertheless, a neat httle seal of red wax for a gentleman, and of gold or other fancy colour for a lady, are elegant and appropriate, and give an appearance of refinement to a note. Letters of introduction or recom mendation should never be sealed. In letters of business or ceremony, do not write on both sides of the leaf. Letters of compliment should be written in the third person. Avoid all erasures and blots, even though you should have to "^re- write. Neyer write letters of frendship on a half sheet, and always write /with ink. Monograms should always be in black or white â€" never in coloars. In commuuicatins; bad news, take care not to do so abruptly. In sending letters, don't enlarge much on your own misfortunes. Make your letters cheerful and never ill-tempered. All letters should be civil in tone, otherwise they injure the writer more than the receiver. No gentleman will send an anonymous letter. Only cowards and knaves do this. Your paper may be either ruled or plain, but the latter is the idore elegant. Letters in regard to one's own affairs should always contain a stamp for re- turu postage. A still better plan is to enclose a stamped and addiessed envelope. Every letter should be dated care- fully and distinctly, and should always bear the address of the writer, and the name signed in full. Should the writer be a married lady, she should iovariably, except in the most familiar missives, prefix "Mrs." to lier name. Persons in mournmg usually write letters on mourning stationery, but this should not be used in writing letters of congratulation. Your letter-paper and envelopes should correspond in colour and quality. White should be preferred, and especially wlien addressmg a lady. Ladies use no other. Good black ink is always to be pre- ferred. Coloured inks are in bad taste. Take care to affix the proper stamp. Don't depend on others to do this. Nc!ver fend money or other articles of value in an unregistered letter. When dropping a letter or paper into a street letter box, see that it don't stick fast. Never eudose any writing m printed matter. When it is desired to have letters returned in case of non-deUyery, the name and address of sender should be printed on upper left-hand eomer,^ with request to the effect.

To the Editor of the Standard DisB Sm,â€" As promised I embrace the first opportunity of noting for your valuable paper a few of the interesting features of the town of Gravenhurst, which is situated m Simcoe County, Muskoka District, where 1 have been working for the past two weeks. After leaving you at Cardwell Junction on the 3rd inst. 1 took the Hamilton Northwestern to Allandale » suburb of Barrie. This section is a first class farming district and thickly settled with (to all appearence) well-to-do farmers. Barrie has a population of some 5,000 inhabitants and is situ- ated as most of your readers know, on lake bimcoe, Then we tooK the Northern Railway for Gravenhurst, passing Orillia, and having lake Simcoe on my right for over 80 miles up to the narrows, the country between those two towns is mostly good for agricultural purposes aitho' there is low swampy lands where the "Canad- ian Band' warbles their music to the great amusment (or shall we say annoyance) of the inhabitants, of a summers evening About 6 miles from Orillia I came to Liongford where are situated the lumber mills of Me'ssrs. Thompson, (pome of the largest in the district) at which many million ftet ot lumber are to be seen tastefully i piled. A few miles further on I got a sif^ht, the rocks of which the Muskoka farmers have such an aversion. There was nothing further to break Ihe monotony but rock Rock !! Rock W. until I arrived at Gravenhurst, after a journey of 155 miles occupying 7 horses certainly not a veiy ex- peditions rate of travelling. This town has a population of 2,000 On arrival I soon made my way to one of the Hotels, of which there are five and, as it were to cuntpract their infiaence there are^r« places of worship, if I may include the Salvation Army Barracks as one. The latter iiaving been here about seven weeks, and one of the chief amnsements of the place is to watch the soldiers on their evening war path. Gravenhurst, tho "Sawdust city ot the North" is, so to speak, in the midst of waters, (that is where their is'nt rock). On the I West is Muskoka Bay on the North- east Gull Lake on the South, Spar- row Lake, aud on the North a chain of lakes unknown to fame. There are some 17 saw- mills giving employ* ment to about 500 hands the usual proportion of Stores a carriage works, foundjy c. The town depends chiefly on the lumbering business, and aJPter the lumber has been culled out, (which will probably not \h many years hence) except tne iron minmg develops, of which there is a good supply, tne place will sink baek into eibUvion. The Northern B. Co. are extending their line fixm this I^aoe ap to the Nippissmg, 112 miles North, the opening of whieh is expect- ed to take place early in August, when no doubt tliere will be an ihflax of immigrants, as the land is said to lie prolific in thtit direotiun. The winter has hem, and isettll, very aavere here^ it's no woodw, if the wmteis mere like thb, that oil tlie m6rawaUe occasion two yeniB noce the whidMy froaeap^herei of e^arse 1^ needs no ex{^ation to a Gatupdmn.
