Some time- between last Thursday night and Friday morning, Mr. Wes Snell,who residessouth of Exeter about two miles, was-roti.aed from his slumber by the usual putheh in the ribs from his wife, who had been awakened by the savage barking of the dog. Mr. Snell hastily dressed, and before going out slipped a revolver in his pocket. He made his way towards the barn and before getting there he saw a man to whom he called out. "What are you doing there" and with- out replying the man came towards him. Mr. Snell again called out "who are you and what do you want ?" Still the man came towards , him without uttering a word. Mr. Snell then said, "I am armed and if you come any nearer I'll shoot" and with this he dis- charged his revolver. This had the ef- fect of scaring the bold thief, who ran to the road, accompanied by another who Was stationed in the orchard just opposite the house. These two jumped into a rig and were rapidly driven away by the third who was holding the team. In the morning Mr. Snell found that one hog had been taken from the slaughter house, and had been carried to a Cross fence, .'Mr. Snell had been slaughtering and dressing quite a number of pigs for the London mar- ket. The thieves were evidently af- ter thiel pork. = %ern,e ;l Jolillton's.

R., which is due to arrive here at 9.42, was within one mile of here one of the shafts which connect the two large drive wheels on the engine broke while the train was under full speed, The driver at once reversed the engine and applied the air brakes but before the train was brought to a stop the flying shaft was playing havoc with the cab, and in some mysterious way the driver named West, was struck and knocked through the window of the cab, and landed upon his face on the embank- ment. At first it was thought he was seriously injured, but Dr. Pentland was called, and after an examination, found that the knee of the right leg was dis- located and the bone fractured. After Dr. Pentland had done all that could be done for the unfortunate man he was sent back to his home in Stratford on the return train, accompanied by the doctor. The last report was that he was doing as well as could be ex peetod. Rheumatism Cured in a Day. South American Rheumatic Cure, for Rheumatism and Neuralgia, radieally cures in 1 to 3 days.

COME INTO 1YIY PARLOR," SAID THE SPIDER TO THE FLY:y Is very appropriate to some of the advertisements we read. We may tell you straight and just here that we have no cobwebs. If we wanted to lie, we would tell you that we were selling goods at half price, fifty per cent off for cash. Oceassionally this is done with a special article,—as a job lot of sam- ples, or remnants; but, generally when you see such statements, you can set it down as a strain- ing of the conscienceorjugglingwith thetruth. We don't wonder at the Patrons of Industry boycotting the storekeepers, after reading such trash. You may depend when a merchant sells an article at or below cost, he is bound to make it up on another. They are not there to do business for nothing. OUR L PRICES„..k Are like the Sun,—an every day affair and for ev- erybody. "The Sun and the Wind had a controversy" says the old fable, and the Sun proved the victor.
