Mb. Harry ulucas, the artist, of
Goderlyb, was in town Tuesday,
with a staff of hands, en route to

We have received the first num
ber of the Gorrie VideCte, a 24

creditable appearance, end we hope
it will - find a* sphere of usefulness
and profit.
European—Apples, — The fol
lowing extract is from a.lengthy cir
cular we have received :—“The ap
ple crop of Europe, taking it as a
whole, will he in excess of that of
last year. The fall shipments of
American and Canadian apples to
Glasgow and Liverpool should meet
with fair demand at values ruled by
supply. The shipments to London
orwinter fruit will, as in similar
seasons, compare favorably in net
proceeds with other markets on this
side.”
■ Scandalous.—-The Grits'and the
fanatics, synonomous terms almost,
are finding fault with the Dominion
Government “for making concessions'
«3 d&tftters and giving them the
privilege of disposing of liquors in
Scott. Act counties..” Those who
tS.lk in this way either dp npt know
what they are saying or else are very
illogical. Tlie Scott Act permits
distillers to sell in Scott Act Couns
ties by the barrel; an Order in Coun
cil allows them to sell in ten gallon
i parcels. These moralists approve of
the law which allows “distilled .lam-,
nation" tp he supplied io forty gal
lon parcels, but condemns a law
. which permits the lesser quantity,
ten gallon lots, to be sold in the same

be a Band Tbjiriianient, in which.if*

On Thursday as the noon train was
about, starting a linan' apparently
about'4().-accompanied by a young
woman whom, irt'os.t ‘.people would
think;was b.is daughter, purchased
tickets lor Clinton, and were about
to take their seats in theecars when a
-womanywhose age we cojuld iiot’guess
oh account, of her fierce expression,
came up behind Them and, grabbed
Thein both arid while'hdmtniafcei'ino a
most - excellent tongue thrashing,
yanked thbm down town. A large
crowd that had collecteil-at the stiiA
tion followed theJpeculiar1 trioj and
soon learned, from the. elder woman’s
harangue the:cause of.the commotion.
It appeared that the*gay ftnd lestive
Lothario;whom she collared, though'
a married man with a family, was
running aWay-with her daughter, and
the mother learning of the affair had'
driven, rapidly, to town where as
above stated she had arrived in time
to baulk the schemes of the scoundrel.
The mother took her daughter home
arid wks.followed shortly after by the
sickly looking wo.uld be-eloper, whom
we have no doubt' was
his boots, in anticipation or tfi^Te-
ception be would receive at his wife’s
bands. If she had-a good horsewlj'p
and. used it strikingly we would say
more-power to’her elbow. The par
ties concerned In this disreputable
affair live ,ih the neighborhood of
Sheppardton, ' ;

On Thursday evening the concert
for the benefit of the Masonic, local
benevolent fund took place in Vic
toria Hall, A large attendance show
ed that appeals for benevolent pur*
poses will always attract the lavge>
hearted of our fair town,_The only
occurrence to mar the entertainment
was the conduct of a gentleman a
non resident; and lady in the centre,
ol the parquette who kept up a con*
tinual chatter, not even stopping
When the lady singers were dwelling
on the low notes., (t mattered little
to tlio sifigers as the probabilities are
that they did not hear the clever con
versationalists, but to those Who were
Unfortunateenough to. sit in the
neighborhood of the chatterers it was
most unpleasant, It is a crying
shame,.that people attending public
entertainments should -have their
enjoyment destroyed by p'eople who
go to such places to show off their
good breeding The opening piece
on the programme, a piano duet by
Misi Cooke and M. de Pettd-ry, bril
