A Mute Singer.

Mr.. Editor.-Although cannot startle
the readers of the TIMES with horrible ac-
cident or new discovery, yet if the publica-
ton of the incident l am going to relate,
does not interest your many readers, it may
be the means of improving the future con-
duct Of those who gave rise to this story.
"A teacher of music in Carroll twp, appoint
ed singing on the evening of certain day
last week. His son had recently been dis
charged from school by the school teacher
for some misconduct, which so nettled the
dignity of the music teacher, that he sped
his way to the school house, and, of course
an alteration ensued, whereupon the mu-
sic teacher and the school master came into
close quarters, but still not close enough
to shed much blood. That evening there
was no music in the soul of the Teacher
All the coaxing and wheedling could not
bring him out from his retreat behind the
stove. Those assembled, had either to
sing without a leader, or disperse without
singing, they chose the former and had
good time of it, while their teacher re.
mained crouched down in his corner, mute
as a mouse. W.

XDOn't Try It.-A health journal says that
by burning an ounce of sulphur in the Gel
lar house may be disinfected entirely of
smallpox malaria. The receipt is simple
and cheap enough to justify trial of it in
every household where the disease prevails,
and even where 1t does not.
A friend of ours who saw this receipt ef-
fectually tried it, and few hours later
his wife buried her pet canary, and spent
the next day cleaning up the tin and plated
ware which had turned black by the oper-
alton.

\ DuncannOn Items.-On Monday morn
ing of last week we were visited by another
fire, and it occurred where one has been
expected for some time. Along the rail
road are wooden out-buildings with shingle
roofs, and numerous stables with hay and
straw scattered around ready to catch from
a spark of a locomotive, many Of which are
said to have defective screens. The fire
originated in the stable of Mr.. Stevenson,
and is said to have been caused by pass
ing locomotive. The stable, and Hoods
ice-house were consumed and only prompt
and efficient action prevented an extended
conhagration.
On Friday Mr. George Moore farmer
