Zurich can boast of a tol,ogan .slide

!lours each evening to have a slide and
so far none has been seriously hurt,

bottom of the slide, and in an attempt
to pick it up his sleigh tiped over, and
he was obliged to snake another start.

A sensation was created here Satur-
day when the report of a shortage of
$4,000 in the books of the Guelph
Branch of the Central Bank was made
known. Mr, Thos. P. Webster, who is
accused of appropriating funds to his
own use, was very popular with all
classes in the city, and much sympathy
is expressed for his mother and family:
It is said he was in Hamilton on Thurs-
day, on his slay to Buffalo. Mr. Sandi -
lands, the late manager of this branch
of the bank, was not aware of any ir-
regularities in the books until he read
of it in the papers to -day.

Is Well to Remember,
That slander, like mud, dries
falls o1i'
That to wait and be patient Soo
many it pang:
That all aro notprinces who
with the etuperor.
That correction is good wite
administered in season.
That it takes a great deal of grace to
be able to bear praise,
That you will never have a friend if
you must have one without failings.
What to have what you want is riches,
but to bo able to do without is power,
That there is no limit to the ago at
which a tuan way make it foot of him-
self,
That the rages of pleasure seldom
last lcutg enough to adorn the brow of.
those who pluck them.
That a man who cannot mind his
own dusiness is not to be trusted with
the business of others.

Mr. Keefer, of Clinton, the other day,
and before she left the dental chair had
twenty-three teeth extracted taking no-

for her was the fact that several were
very bad roots, that had literally to be

Mr. Chas. Wheelor,of the 4th line of
Morris, met with a heavy loss last week
by the death of his short -horn buil,.
which he purchased about a year ago
from Mr. Milne, of Ethel, for $160
cash. He was rising two years old and
was one of the best stock animals in
this section. The lose to Mr. Wheeler

said:

you?"

Then the man he shuke his hed, and
said a other time:
" Thats a mighty bad place for to

comodatious as he can git, an not be a
hog about it."

returning home drove his horse into
Stewart's shed, Bel ;rave, and left it
untied while he went into the hotel to
warm. While inside Mr. Johnson's, of
Morris, team was passing, several small
boys were hanging on to the sleigh, Mr.
McGowan's horse ran out and jumped
iti the sleigh, which caused the horse to
fall over on top of John, 2nd son of
Alex. Stewart, injuring him internally
and paralyzing his spine. Ido' is still
unable to turn in bed and his recovery
is very doubtful.
A libel suit was tried before Police
Magistrate O'Loan between Mr. Davis,
of the Mitchel Advocate, and Mr.
Race, of the Recorder. These two
papers has been from immemorial at
war with each other, and a couple of
weeks ago, The Advocate published a
very strong article concerning the op-
position sheet. It was responded to in
the Recorder of the following week in a
very scathing article, in which Mr.
Davis was characterised as a thief, lier,
scoundrel and almost everything else
that was vile. An action for label was
immediately brought by Mr. Davis.
Mr. Race was bound over to the as-
sizes, bail being taken for his reappear-
ance.

—The freezing up of the pumps is :t
great annoyance to the household. Some
expert says that when a pamp tube
freezes solid, do not pour in hot water
in the common way with the hope of
thawing. The hot water will lie at tho
top and that will be the end of it. But
procure a lend tube, or any kind of pipe,
place the lower ,end of it directly on
the ice i:: the pump and with a fuiuitll
pour hot water in at the top. The
weight of the water in pipe will drive
it hot against the ice, the pipe settling
as fast as the ice melts and t:ie whole
will be cleaned out in au incredibly
time.

nights ago with the object of devising
some scheme by which they could offer
mutual protection to each other against

sent year It was decided to form a
Bachelors' Association, and a commit-
tee was appointed to draft a constitut-
ion and bylaws, to be submitted to an
adjourned meeting on Friday evening,
when officers will be elected and the
society regularly inaugurated. The
girls should boycott any young man
whome they l•avr reason to believe has
joined this infamious league. We will
endeavor to give furtoer particulars of
these arch -conspirators in a future
