<rolanson—sanity Entertainment.
The Johnson-Smily entertainment
under the auspices of the Trivitt Mem-
orial church Guild held on Thursday.
evening last was a success, a.nd al-
thoughthe audience was large the en-
tertainment was deserving of a much
bigger house. Miss 'Johnson, the emi-
nent poet reciter,'and Owen A. Smily.
the society entertainer, have made the
most pronounced success both in Europe
and the United States, and in their
performance on Thursday night they.
fully sustained their former reputation.
Miss Johnson was well received and
her renditions were indeed highly in-
teresting. Fier originality, versatility
and magnetic power of delineation, as
well as other taking qualities, makes
her a heroine of her protfession. Smily
was equally good in his various under
takings, and the combination matte it
one of the best and most high classed
entertainments ever produced to an
Exeter audience.
Rewarding Iisox rye „etealang.
Strange slips are sometimes made in
the framing of laws as well as in other
matters which are .the products of the
human intellect. While looking oyer
an old 1,y-1ave of the County of Huron,
which was passed by the County Coun
in 1874, it was noticed, probably for
the first time, that instead of rewarding.
the person who detected the thief and
securing his conviction, the by-law
actually proposed to reward the thief,
and this oy•law has been in orperation
in this county for over twenty vears,
It was repealed by- an amending by law
at the _recent session of the Council.
The preambleof the by-law reads as
follows; "Whereas by the Aot 87 Vic-
toria, Chapter 9:8, Section 896 of the
Province of Ontario, it is enacted that
the Conned of every County shall pro-
vide, by by-law, that a sum not less
than twenty dollars shall be paid as a
reward' to any person or. persons guilty
of stealing any horse or metre within
the said ebunty,"
