AALITTLE TOO FAST.—`A marble agent,
. not very far from Kincardine, heardthat
a certain lady had lost two daughters,and
thinking . that there was a good chance
to get a job, went wit, great speed to the
lady's residence, and expressed great spm-
pithy for her in her a filiction,,,dropped a
few tears, and used' his' white handker-
chief. She listened to him for a while,

RETuB Uln..-1�Ir.Thos.Bielby; formerly
of Hullett, but who has been in the -north
west all summer; has , returned; and pur-
poses taking.up his residence once more'.
in Ontario. He bas not altogether lost
faith in the north-west;. but he states that
the drouth has this year left settlers in. a
bad state; and he corroborates what others:
have said about the 'exceedingly unpleas-
ant lookout, ler. those who have no crops.
MS.Bielbytbinks the northwest may yet be
, a good grazing country,but ,the.chaaces of
it ever becoming; successful for grain-rais=
ing, are doubtful. In douthern Manitoba,
however,. he says, crops are locking splen-
did, bu.t.Ontario`people are so.apt'.to con-
found the north-west territory and Mani-
toba, as one and the same place, that care
should be exercised 'in • noting''that• they
are two separate and distinct localities.
THE DOTIIERTY BAND-�On•Saturday
evening' last this -popular band, favored
--- our• towmme.ople with an hour=and-a-half s
free music on the'market square, and they
'purpose coming, cut again to -morrow eve-
ning. They;go to: London to play at the
Exhibition Grounds, a portion • of the
time .the Western Fail .is in progress; we
are sure they *ill Win golden opinions
While there, for they- have in every.place
they have yet played. On the evening of
Friday next, the band will 'give a' vocal
' and instrgmpntal concert in the townhall,
the admission being placed • at the very:
moderate-fi15-es-of 15 and 2u cenfi las'
reputation of the band should be sufficient
to insure:theta a good house. • We believe
that, if the public. patronage warrants it,,
the and purposes. giving a ,concert once
a monthduring•the-winter months. This
.is an -opportunity for our townspeople to
'show the band that their labors are ap-
preciated. •
MAGISTRATE'S OASES.—Michael' Dunn'
appeared before H. Steep, -'J. P., last Fri-
day, , to answer to the charge of being.
drunlr: ani dtsorderlp. Michael plead
Me guilty; but excused himself on the ground
that, `•` I had an awful bad attack of colic
your worship, and the only remedy was to
fill up with whiskey." 'His worship gave
him some strong_a. vice,_ and also: fined.
him $1 and conte. Before Mr: Steep,Mrs.
Grelis.was.also charged by john:Neil,with.
striking his Wife with a bottle and cutting
' her face.. (This was;'•the case referred 'to
last Week.) , Mrs Neil, whe 'appeared in
court, certainly•had a terrible' face, it be-
ing bandaged in every way.. Mrs. Grelis'
admitted her'guilt, butplead justification.
The magistrate told .her that she carne

imposing a fine.of sa and costs, he was
.lettingher 011' very easily.: She, said she
Would sooner go to. jail than pay it, and

a clarionet"solo by Mr. Pilcher, and ttvo�
recitations by Mis 'Truman, ofGodcrich;
the latter were particularly well-given,'but.
were'too' long --a ' fault . many recitors un-
consciously fall into. The part of the
entree sustained by Idealtalent, was
vt+ell rendered, Mies Campbell and AI
Jackson adding freshdaurels to their Ill
ors as musicians. M'r. Sibley's selection.
was one in which be hardly did himself
.justice. The singing of the Whyte Bros.,.
