Fifteen years appears sliort when past; yet, what important changes takes place in a comparatively new country in that length of time. Fif- teea years ago there was no Markdale; true, there was a few houses in the place, then called Cornabms now it is one of the most thrilty and staunch villages m the' Dominion. Fifteen years ago we had no railway now we have through our midst, a railway which is second to none on the continent. Fifteen years ago all the prodnoa of this district was hanled to CollinRWOOd a distance of nearly forty miles now we have large storehouses and an ex- cellent market at home, from which place the products of the surrounding country is conveyed by steam power to foreign market*. Fifteen years ago, in order to reach Toronto, it was necessary to leave home about 3 o'clock in the morning, take stage from Flesherton to CoUing- wood thence by rail, reaching the city at 10 at night, and another day full as long lo return now we step into a first class coach about half past six a. m., arriving in Toront© in about four hours, have six fuU hours to do business in the best business portion of the day, say from 11 to 5, and re- turn same evening at about 9 o'clock. Fifteen years ago we were almost completely isolated from the outside world now we have all the means of communication of the fast age in which we live Postal, Telegraphic, Eailway, c., c. Fifteen years ago ye editor was t iventy years of age, and if he liyes fifteen more he will be fifty, and if not, the world will move along just the same. patrol judge, did not trot three heais. The StANDABD again aaya, Trimble, as we understand, purchased 'Joe Gale' for stock purposes and not for trotting." M such is the case, why did Mr. Trimble enter for tue station race at the Industrial Exhibition, To- ronto, and also for the stalhon races at CoUmgwood and Walkerton. In our opinion his purpose was qmte obvious. With refeience to the waggons used at Walkerton, we would say, that our waggon was 15 lbs. lighter ^an the Johnston waggon, used by TnmbJe, but that our driver, Mr.Thos. Middle- ton, weighed 183 lbs., and that Mr. J. Jeakms, Trimble's driver, only weigh- ed 128 lbs., thus givinff Trimble s horse an advantage of 40 lbs. in weight The Standakd further says, that "Goldfinder" was in good condition. This is not correct, as "Goldfinder lamed himself on the back tenants of the fore leg at the Industrial Exhibi- tion, Toronto, and was not out of the stable from Sept. 29th (date ot Flesh- erton fan:) until we started him for Walkerton, on Tuesday, Oct.^ 6th he was 'then by no means m good con- dition. However, if Mr. Trimble is not satisfied with the result of the race at Walkerton, we will match "Goldfind- er" to trot "Joe Gale," mile heats, best three in five, National Association Bules to govern, for $100 a side, on any of the following tracks, viz Owen Sound, Meaford, Woodbine or Barrie. within three weeks from date. We will meet Mr. Trimble at any con- venient place he may name, to put up if he wants to match us. Hoping you will insert the above in your valuable paper.

Notwithstanding the exceedingly had state of the weather as well as the roads on Thursday evening last, the concert given by Mrs. Irvine was very well attended. Had the evening been fine the house would have been crowd- ed, Mrs. Irvine's class consists of thirty- one pupils of various ages from 7 or 8 years up, and we understand it ig her intention to give an entertain- ment every three months for the en- coHnigement of her pupils. The chair was occupied by Dr. Spronle, M. P., who presided in his customary digni- iied and happy manner. The program was lengthy, varied and well rendeied, many of the pupils showing marJted advancement in that motit d^eirable art. The love of music, and the cul- ture and development of the musical talents or propensities of the youth oannot receive too much encourage- ment on the part of parents; its in- fluences are truly refining, elevating and cheering. "We are gratified to se« so much interest taken in this most desirable accomplishment, if it may bj 80 called, there being several large classes in our prosperous httle village. "Ciit Up and Git. From a correspondent. In the Berkeley items last week in regard to the attempted incendiary it should have read Dring'« house in- stead ef Davis. Hallowe'en passed off without any serious damage being "done to our citizens or their property as far as known not, however, without raising the ire of certain parties. It appears a family in our town foolishly left their clothes out on the line, and to their £;reat disgust found next morning part of the wearing apparel missing, having been made into a yery artistic- ally and fashionably dressed efiSgy and erected in front ©f Sargent's black- smith shop. The joke was enjoyed by the majority. Our teacher. Miss VanDasen, re- turned on Monday from visiting friends in Owen Sound.

Sib, â€" We notice an- item in the Stindabd of last week regarding the stallion race at the Northern Exhibi- tion, Walkerton, which would seem to too inspired by Mr. J. R. Trimble, the unhappy owner of "Joe Gale." The Standard sfcvs "Groldfinder" had to do considerable running in order to win this race. Such was net the cas^, as we are prepared to prove, on the testimony of the judges' that "Goldfinder" won the race iu firsfr^ class honest style, trotting ttom wire to wire without a skip. Thff first heat was won by "Crown Imperial" by half a lecfOh; "Goldfinder." 2nd; "Joe Gale,"8r«l; ninning753nixds behiud.

S A correspondent of the Globe re- bukes another correspondent who had been a'Svocating Canadian independ- ence in that paper, and concludes by asking the advocate of independence why, if he doe« not like living in a colony, he does not "git up and git." This IS a question frequently asked by bigoted loyalists, and it has been answered by thousands i Canadians, who, sc to speak, have got up and got. Because this style of argument has been used, New York, Chicago, and all of the most important Ameri- can cities have large Canadian colonies. From Michigan to Dakota, from Ohio to California, enterprising Canadian farmers and puohing young business men are living under the American flag, because when they wanted demo- cratic institutions the bigots hare al- ways said "git up and git." W^-want to keep our young men in Canada. We want to give them institutions and possibilities which will encourugo them to remain here. But wiiUe fanatics tell them if they don't like our inetitutions to depart for the United States the exodus will go on, and Canada will lose the best bloud and the best brains from amonng her people. â€" Toronto N«wm.
