Mr. Thos. Euddel of Wellington Co., has recently patented further improvements which are now, (with the consent of Sargent the patentee of the former) part and parcel of Sargent's Load Lifter. These new improvements consists of a cou- pling, which can be attached to lifters now in use at a small cost, 60 tbat different portions of a large barn can be filled without shifting the rack lifter, or for double thresh floors. It has also an attachment for letting down the rack, which can hjs done with ease by the person on the load. These are valuable improvements to Sargent's Patent Load Lifter which are worthy the attention of all who contemplate purchasing. igJarraspand^Bca; Notice. â€" We wisli it distinctl'V utiderstood that w'H ilo not liold ourselves responsiWe for â-  thu opinions expressed by our. correspondents llBfair Tactics. To lite Editor of the Stand aed. There are peraons in this world who are ditficult to deal with, whose love of self so far over-rides their better qualities as to render their actions un- intelligible to their fellowmen. A case in point Last season one of the patrons oi Markdale cheese fajctoiy took umbrage iit a fancied loss be sus- tained m not being paid for a slight service he performed, which is always a gratuitous one when performed by others hence he withdrev,' his patron age this season A short time since the market repoit of the Toronto Mai7 contained an item which sho"ared that cheese bad fallen 80 per cent, ia price, but added tbat this was caused by eiicculators entering iato a "ring,- or boycotting clique, and tbat cheese would soon go up in value, as the same thing had happened six years ago, and that the foreign market was as steady as eyec The individual re- ferred to clipped out tbat portion of the article in question, which announc- ed the depression, but omitted the explanation, and exhibited this to .every one he met, both in town- and country. Now, it is a recognized principle in the ethics of truth, that to withold a portion of a subject with a view to producing a false impression, is a delibdrate falsehood on the part ot the garbler. There .^re one of tw^o â€" or both^ â€" reasons for tb^s geutk- man's conduct. He either wishes to injure the cheese factory, or else to depreciate the value of cows ia the estimation of those who had them to dispose of. The depression of six years ago only lasted a aiomh or six weeks, and already the cheese market is steadily advancmg, and there are the best of reasons for believing that it will reach its former maxiniam figure in less than thirty dayp. Yours trnly, Patbon. G]en«Ig, Jaoe 17, '80. Gbst Dhrisiott GrMiga No, 2 will meet 1^ Jq^os kin m Ui« 8rd July. 'H'rom our own eorresvondent. We noticed a few of our citizens took advantage of the cheap trip to Toronto last week. Mr. Taylor, merchant of Dromore, paid our town a flying visit last week. Mr, Minettee of the firm of William ThompsoH Co., Toronto, paid a brief visit to our town this week. Miss Emma Damude is at present absent from here on an extended holi- day tour vi siting friends in Hamilton, Welland, Thorold and other towns be- fore she returns. I am sure the residents of our vil- lage are all pleased and delighted to hear the charming and inspiring music of our band wbile we are writing, the grand old air of "The girl I left behind me," which is now being made to ring out by the boys on the horns, almost takes us from our seat. Business appears quite brisk in this village now. Mr. iS.. Damude has ad- ded another branch to his extensive business, being that of handling wool, as will be seen by his advertisement, he invites all those having wool to dispose of to take it to kim as he is prepared to pay the highest cash price. This is a step m the right direction for Mr. Damude as it is quite in line with the other branches of his busi- ness. Dr. Chnstoe's new premises is now completed and being stocked, with a largtf stock of new goods, drugs, c. Rev. Mr. McDowell will preach his farewell sermon here next Sabbath. In the absence of the pastor, the Eev. Mr. Dobbons of Berkeley occupied the pulpit in the Presbyterian church here on Sabbath last. Dominion Day is to be celebiated m our village in light royal style, various games and amusements tLrough the day. The looked for event of the day is the sham battle to take place between 11 and 12 o'cloqk.. If as good, and no doubt it will' be, or better than that of the 25th of May,. it will be worth driving miles to witness it then in the afternoon a lawn party on the magnificent grounds at J. AV. Armstrong's, residence to bid a- fare- well to Rev. Mr. McDowell then later in the evening the tea and speeches in the Presbyterian church in connection, with the anniversary services, of that church, ©bme one, come all and en- joy a good holiday in a romantic, quiet and peacefuljittlje country town. maxwell. vwen Sound. (From' an occagional correspondent.) Weather mdd and warm- Several cases were heard at the po- lice court last week. Steamer Athabasca left Saturday at 4:20 p. m. with 40 first, 145 secnnd- ciass passengers, including a number of Mounted Police for the North-West and 450 ton of freight. The excursion to Colliugwood on tli9 ist July by the twin scirew steam- er Camvana is thought will prove a success Steamer Albei-ta arrived Sunday at 12:40 p. m. with 40 first, 17 second- class passengers, 20,G00 bushels wheat and 15 ton deck freight.

On Thursday last a base- ball match was played between Maxwell and Singhampton clubs on the latter grounds, but when they had played 5 innings each they ordered our boj s off the grounds, the match to be settled here on Saturday next. Feversbam boys are full of grit wo hope they may remain so. Achallcnge was received from Dundalk club but as the day set was not suitable for our boys it was not accepted. Our highly respected citizen John Miller leaves here this week for Alpe- ana; the menagerie of mules and jack- asses go with him. Mr. Harry Guy is seriously ill eyresipelas is the cause oi his illness. Mb. Albert Beownridge is building a large farme barn. Mr. Jos. Allison and wife have for the past week been visiting friends in AUiston. Eev. Mr. D' Argent has filled the pulpit in the Presbyterian church since Mr. Chisolm's absence. He is an able speaker and has the attendance of large congregations, bis wife and family arrived here on Friday last. As the name "Mary" is so often seen in different papers, as the brilliant correspondent of the Dundalk Herald from this place, the young men have been wondering for a long time who she is. 1 wonder if she is in love with any one cr whether she would like to be by her writing Phiz, has taken a great notion for her and would like to correspond with her. Please do bo, Mary, and oblige. A couple of weeks ago a quarrel occurred between Mr. D. H. Holman of the Big Boot and John McKecbnio of the 4th line of Osprer. It appears the latter had ordered boots from Mr. H. to be done on a certain day on that day he called for them and seenv ed to fit well bat he began to find fault with stock in them and, Mr. H. ordered him out of hjs shop this he did not like and used very insulting, language but no attention was paid to him by Mr. H. He went aw.ay in a short time and they happened to meet in another place in the evening, where there was a large crowd and as Mr. H. was going out the door McKechnia caught him by the throat and struck him several times Mr. 1^., was forced to defend himself by fighting and sucQeeded in making cry out enough, Mr. H up and walked away, was settled before a J. and the result was, it Qost McKechnie one dollar and costs probably he wiJU act decent in our towns in future.
