He has made Leices tars a specialty, and he has been re markably successful with them. That he has a very superior flock is evinced by the fact that his sheep carried off numerous prizes this year at every show where they were on exhibition, and in several cases they had to con- tend with the keenest competition. A few days ago Mr. Wm. Scott, of the North road, McKillop, visited Mr. Pen- hale's farm, and purchased from him two of his best rams, paying a liberal figure for them.

The case of Stephens vs, township of Moore, decided at Toronto last week, is of general interest as hearing on drain age disputes. PUN. moved summarily to quash a bylaw of the township, pas- sed 14th of October, 1893, to provide for draining a portion of the township by the repairing of an outlet drain and for levying on the lands and roads to be benefitted the sum of $17 for com- pleting the same. Tho principal ground of the motion was that the original drain, being a general town- ship work, only the lands benefitted thereby were liable to be assessed for repairs. The Original construction was paid for out of the general funds of the township, but the bylaw in ques- tion charged the repair on the lots benefitted. Held, upon the true con- struction of see. 586 sub -see. 2, of the Municipal Act, that the council had power to maintain or repair the drain at the expense of the local territory benefitted, and therefore the couneil had power to pass the bylaw. The other Objections also failed. Motion dismissed with costs, A Masonic Temple costing upwards of $250,000 is to be erected in Toronto, most probably on it down -town site.

De teasel( bole her long illness with patience, and in the calm security of perfect faith in her Savior's merits passed away to her etern- al rest. She leaves to morn her demise one daughter, who of all .others, will miss her most. The funeral took place Satunlay to the Exeter cemetry and was largelyattend- ed.

They were driving along with a horse and buggy when the young man, evidently think- ing his horse quite reliable, fastened the lines to the buggy dash and per- mitted Dobbin to jog along at his pleas- ure.

Trustee Harding combatted the motion on the ground that the teaching done in the schools was moral and there was no evidence before the board that there was any need of mak- ing a special effort to get the clergy- men of the town to take up a portion of the few hours to be devoted by the scholars to their lessons, An amend mens to this effect was submitted and both motion and amendment was. de- clared lost, the vote in each standing 3 to 3. Goderich. Truly, all fools are not yet dead. On Tuesday evening a slippery, siiverey-tongued fakir, class A, drove up in a hack to the corner of North st. and the Square and serenely proceeded to abstract all the coin he possibly could from any greeny who came with- in his reach. At tirst the crowd didn't catch on, but when a boy gave aquar- ter for a match and got back . 35c, tie ball was set rolling.The humbug then went on until dollars were paid for worthless watch chains, the greenies all the time expecting to get back their dollar plus compound interest. But they didn't The fakir then proceded to close tip shoe, stowed away the nick- les in his capacious pockets, hauled down his gaslight, bade his audience adieu, and ordered his drivers to drive. Me was hooted and jeered, but a liberal volty of bricks and bad eggs would have suited him better.

Seaforth: A fakir opened up busi- ness on Main street Monday evening last, selling trashy jewellery. It 'was. the same old "gum game" that has been played over and over again, but with a fresh crowd of victims. Great Scott! how they bit. H,is method of "roping them in" was by selling a ring for a quarter, then giving the purchas• er back fifty cents, during which time the fakir kept a continuous flow of language extolling the excellence of the watches he was about to sell at $5 each. After selling the rings, sets of cuff buttons were offered for sale at the. same price -a gnartcr, - the purchaser receiving fifty cents hack, The fakir's next move was to sell chains for the watches at $1.00, the purchasers, of course expecting their money bath and to be beaten on his next move the watches, not intending to "play with the fakir" any more and keep his money. At this juncture the fakir adjourned the sale until some othertime and pocketed the receipts on the watch chain deal, the $5 watches being only a bait to entice his vlcttms ou, they thinking that they could "do him up" when he began selling the watches. It was a clear case of swindle all round and Mr. Fakir got the best' of it. The "rope act" was cleverly executed. The victims mobbed the fakir, but after a lively scrimmage, he succeeded in get- ting into an hotel. Next morning .a reporter interviewed the fakir, and he complained of business being poor, but stated, 'I did the smart heads better than twenty-five. They thought they had me but they all got left, 1 am not Selling jewellery for the good bf my health." The same fakir did. the God - A Filliui IUea!
