We suppose it is of little use
to talk aboltt it, but If the hun-
dreds ofreaders (all good) who
owe us little amounts, would
remit either in stamps, money
or `anything reseal ming rtto-
ney,tbey will relieve our book -
,keeper from a good deal of
anxiety and mental worry.'We
are uotbegging; we only want
you to convince us that you
have a little regard for your
honor, It is not ri .lit to allow
subscriptions to fall behind,
and then compell us to spend
valuable time and hard cash
in sending accounts for a year
or so before you pay the bill.
We want all who are indebted
to us to take this hone to
themselves. It has no appli-
cation and is not intended for
those who are paid.: up.
Iowa uZopt(S.
LEFT.—Mr 0. Carter, for a long
time foreman on the Ransford farm
lett last Friday for Port Findlay, Al-
goma, where be has purchased 160
acres of partially improved land. He
took enough stock with him to start
„comfortably.
FINED.—Mr Chas. Milne appeared
before Messrs McGarva and Steep, J.
P.'s, on Monday, on a charge prefer-
red by Inspector Paisley, of selling
liquor in a larger quantity than al-
lowed by license. The charge being
sustained, he was fined $20 and costs.
TOO MI?CH OF THE SAME.—A new
paper, called the Evening Times, has
made its appearance in London. It
is fairly well edited and will make a
big push to secure a foothold. Before
it will succeed in doing so, however,
a lot of money will be sunk, because
there is nothing that will run away
with money faster than a new daily
paper. However, if the publishers
can make it a success, well and good,
but our opinion is that it will be very
difficult to do so, the field already
being well occupied by the Free Press
and Advertiser. The plain truth is
that there are too many newspapers
in the country—it is just like every
other business, badly overdone.
WHITE BRONZE MONCMENT.--'1he

A. ROUGH PASSAGE. --Messrs W.
Swell and R. McMillan returned
from the old country last week, and
had an exceedingly rough passage,
which resulted in quite a loss to them.
M r Snell landed nine fine thorough-
bred sheep, a yearling and antwo-year-
old filly, but lost two sheep, which
were drowned on the upper deck of
the vessel. It was so rough that for
two days all the passengers had to be
kept below, and as there were 86
horses on board, in the lower decks,
the sheep had to be kept above, and
it being impossible to save the twbl
which were uninsured. Mr McMillan
started with two fillies, but one died
OD the voyage, and had to be cast
overboard.
LECTURE.-1tTere was a good at-
tendance at the lecture and dissolving
views entertainment, held in the
town hall, on Thursday evening of
last week, under the auspices of the
Mission Band of the Presbyterian
church. The lecturer, Mr Campbell,
who has travelled all over the world,
increased the interest in the views by
explaining and relating incidents
concerning them. He also said, all
things considered, climate, social and
religious liberty and customs, that the
Dominion of Canada was as good as
any country he had seen. The en-
tertainment vita exceedingly interest-
ing and all present were well repaid
for their attendance.
