Tough Travelling
A journey from Toronto to Godericb,
a distance of about 135 [nibs, may be a
pleasant outing in the summer but at
this time of tbe year, especial) in
rainy and wet weather, it is anything
but pleasant. Such wits the exper
ience of the proprietor of a local
garage and another local gentleman
last week. Although the rain came
down in torrents and making the
muddy roads lite • quagmire, their
machine, which had recently been
turned out by tbe Hudson Automo-
bile Co.. ploughed through with very
little difficulty and the journey was
a made in good time.

Marine Notes
The damage which the steamer A. J.
McKee was reported to have suffered
in entering the harbor last Thursday
was not eo serious as was at Hot
thought, and after being unloaded she
managed to proceed on her way to
Fort William without any extensive
repairs being made. She brought •
cargo of wheat for the Goderich Ele-
vator and Transit Co.
The steamer Turret Cape arrived
this morning from Fort William with
a load of grain for the same Him.
The steamer Ionic is being unloaded
at the elevator.
Last Recital
The last of the Saturday afterncon
recitals given by Mr. J. B. Hunter in
Kuoz church vas enjoyed by quite a
large number who gathered in that
church last Saturday afternoon. These
recitals have proved most entertain-
ing to the music -loving people of
Goderich, and now that the recitals
are over they will be greatly missed.
During the recital Miss Hildred Mc -
Cull sang in a sweet voice, "I Know
that My Redeemer Liveth." Miss Mc-
Coll is a young lady of exceptionally
musical ability and is fast coming to
the foreground in the rank of Canadian
singers.

It appears that a 1050 fined in the
police court a .butt time ago for
stealing a goose gave his name as

may oe taken against him by the
authorities here.
Besieged by a Drunk
A Costly Sleep
,Reclining in the doorway of Brown's
dry goods stere, a well-known charac-
ter aro and town attracted tbe notice
of Policeman Moore as be was doing
his nightly vigils. Afraid that he
might catch cold the constable invited
him to try the bed clothing at the
police station. The drunk objected
and growled out that it was healthier
to sleep out in the open. The con-
stable insisted and after s tussle be

The trials and tribulations of Andro-
meda chained to the rock were nothing
compared to the anguish of a pretty
young lady besieged in adoctor's office
by a drunken man lying at the foot of
the stairs on Saturday- afternoon last.
The doctor was out on Madness and
the stenographer was lett in charge.
Now it had. been arranged that one of
her girl friends should call for ber when
she got through with her work. Closing

Seal -fishing in the ice fields of the
cold North was one of the chief points
of interest in • fine lecture given by
Adjutant Smith, of London, in the
Salvation Army ball here on Wednes-
day evening. Owing to the incle-
ment weather there was a small
audience, but thost who were there
thoroughly enjoyed the lecture, as
it was most interesting to learn
of that once great Canadian industry,
seal fishing. In the course of the
address the speaker said that the
killing of Seals waw a most pathetic
task, as the Seal stied like a child
when It was being slaughtered and
men were otttimes loth to commit the
deed. The sealskins meant $150 to
each man and the captain of the ship
realised from' each voyag^ which some
times lasted from five to six weeks,
about $3100

lears and other neighbors in the
ocality have been similarly botherd,
will you answer in your paper what
we can do with them?"
The best way to deal with matters
of this nature is to see the owners of
the chickens and get them to shut
them up. You could, howeverlegally
kill the chickens and throw them into
the owner's yard. Do not eat or dis-
pose of them in any other manner or
you can be prosecuted for stealing.
The best method is to impound and
charge poundage fees if owner will
not abate the nuisance.
