The Couneil'1hen adjourned to moot again on Oct. 24th. in the Mem- in the Some rowdyism was indulged in between Saturday night and Sab- bath morning by some strangers supposed to have come from Ilan - over which was the means of dis- turbing several of our citizens from their sweet slumbers. It is about time such conduct was put a stop to. A sudden gloom was cast over this village on Saturday evening whou it was reported that Mr. Wm. Shane had received a telegram from Brandon eafking that his sun -in-law \lr. A. Nation had died of typhoid fever. Deceased was well known iu this village having several years ago carried on the dry goods busi- ness in Kelly's briek block where by his honesty and obliging manner he made a host. of friends. He had boon in Lucatu nearly over since he left here. It is only a short time ago ho left there to go iuto•the dry goods business iu Brandon whale everything looked bright and a prosperous future before ' them. The deceased's wife and relatives have the sytnpathy'of the commun- ity in their bereavement: On Saturday Will Etitigh met with an accident in T. Bawdon's factory, while ripping some lumber. Itis left thumb carne iu contact with the saw which will require hire to lay off work for several days.. Will has reason to be thaukful he got off so safe. °' On the last train up on Satur- day night a stranger dropped off -hero for the purpose of hiring a rig to go to the base line on some im- portant business.

Not getting what be desired are wandered up town where ho tried other parties without success. In the meantime leo had got in com- pany Witlr one of our citizens and they proceeded to Mr. John Morgan's, merchant. After having told him his troubles and having understood from the citizen that accompanied •him that -the stranger was all right and that it was, im- possible for him to got a rig from the livery as they were all out, Mr. Morgan decided to let him have his rig and at once locked the store and went to the ::table and bit.ehe al thee animal up and gave him his buffalo robe and overcoat to keep him warm. On Sabbath morning, close ou church time, lar. Waite of the 10 con., Hullett, drove over tb toll :tar. Morgan that his horse was in his field and that a colt had boon taken in exchange for it although it was not the ono tho scoundrel meant to take. Mr. Morgan at once got a rig and with constable Davies went to tho field and there found his horse and returned hotue with it in the afteruoon. It is hardly likely he will hear of his buggy, harness and robe again. Everyone feels sorry that Mr. Morgan should have been victi- inized by the scoundrel in such a \VM.
