A runaway horse belonging to Mr.

Happily but little damage was done.
CRUELTY To ANINALs.—Chalmereays:
"Man is a direct agent of a wide and
continual distress to the lower animals."
And a certain individual driving cattle
through here one dar last week fully
verified it as a fact. The way he treat-
ed the little animal was to my the tenet
—shameful. Our villagers were deeply
indignant at such an unfeeling exhibi-
tion of savageness. The man must be
ai-andond even to all manner of hu-
manity, tor there could not be anything
snout h.ie or inhuman ow serve to sink a
man own low, as treating a helpless ami-
nal with such cruelty, and against which
it maid offer no rineonstrance--an un-
told and unknown amount of suffering
of which no animists ,Dios gave utter-
ance.
Staler" on.—Mr. Drew, of Exeter,
will he selling off for 30 days, tM bank -
rut t stock of 8. Reid's in Cknden-
ming'a old stand.
Hr COT w 'r Tris tr.--While a
pr minent citizen of oars was sitting on
his front ).ouch, use evening last week,
s man came along with a carpet bag, and
entering the yard said.
"Is your piano out of tans i"
'N.: f don't think if is.'aid our (titi-
.u.
"Ain't you sure about it 1"
"No I never tried it to see." •
"How long .Ince it has been tuned.-
"It
uned.•'"It never has been."
"Then, of course, it ought' to be tun-
ed at onus, you'll ruin it if you don't
have it attended to."
"I don't believe I will"
•"0 yes you will though, nothing
worse for a piano than remaining un -
tuned."
"Do you think you can tune it
"Certainly I can."
"I don'tbelieveyou can, weld our citi-
zen
"I'd like to know why not, I never
saw a piano yet I couldn't tackle."
"There is one mighty good reason
why you can't in this case.
"I'd like to know what it is. -
"1 ou
s.""1.'ou want me t., tell you do you 1"
"Well its because I haven't got any
piano. ••
Then the man put his carpet -ha,, un-
der itis arm, wiped his nose thuu4htiul-
ly, and left.
Norm -.--A fernier, was in the village
un Saturday evening last, and having a
little too much of the "cater" aboard,
beccme rather noisy. There being nu
constable around at the,tirne, the lockup
was consequently cheated again, out of
an occupant. Where is that constable?
