Particulars. later, The Skating rink is about finished and all that is needed now is the cold weather and ice to make it a scene of pleasure. Beware of the draft, Many a prom- ising business has beta frozen stiff through exposure to a cold, merciless eight draft. Messrs. A. J. Snell and Thos. Oke succeeded in bagging twenty squirrels and one partride on Tuesday. Who says game is scarce ? Advocate's that are paid for are as blankets these cold nights, but the due on the others gives one the shivers, particularly the proprietor. Mrs, Wm, Dunsford, of Stephen, en tertained a number of her friends to a aoeial hop on Tuesday evening. Sev- eral from here were in attendance. The funeral sermon of the late Sid- ney Sanders was preached by the Rev. Dr. Willoughby in the James Street Methodist Church on Sunday morning last, Mr. David Gilbert, who has been working Mr R.

Harrison lost a purse on Thursday last containing -a two.dollar bill and several pieces of silver- It was afterwards picked up by Mr. William Southcott but the contents was missing, A Chicago man had to give bonds to keep the peace, after referring to a girl of twenty as "an old maid" It seems to us however, that the girl should have been the one from whom danger was to be feared. The illustrated flash light lecture given in the James-st. Methodist church on. Monday night last by the Rev. Mr. Butt, of Centralia, and under the aus- pices of the Junior Epworth League was well attended,the proceeds amount- ing to $18.

While Mr. John Spackman was re- turning home from Grand Bend one day last week his horse shied at some parties working on the side of the road, upsetting the buggy and throwing Mr• Spackman out on the road with con- siderable force. He escaped with a few slight injuries. Messrs. T W. Hawkshaw, Wm. White and Alex. Dow have made the purchase of the latest designed horse cliPeeng ma- chine. It works on the princil.:il of a dentist's drilling machine and is indeed an ingenious device, doing the work with wonderful rapidity and perfection. A horse can be clipped in less than 40 minutes with this machine. The Canadian Medical Review cau- tions young men against taking up medicine as a profession. It will no doubt surprise the average reader to learn that in Ontario we have one doctor to every 500 of population, men women and children included. Ac- cording to the editor of the Review one third of the medical men now in Ontario couldnot be over burdened with pro fessional care, Saturday night passed off without a great deal of gate removing, sign changing, and other innovations such as is usual on Hallowe'en. We look for a certain amount of harmless amusement from the small boy on these occasions but taken altogether the night passed off very quietly and but little was done. Whether this is due to fear of the law or improved moral perception is not evident. A social event given by the teachers and officers of the Trivitt Memorial Sunday School was a decided success in every particular, in fact a large number could not gain admission to the hall.

Anoth- er party had a horse and rig, taken out of the stable one night when he was away from home and driven, no one but those who has it. know where. Others have had draining tile smashed to pieces and plows carried away and hidden, and such like work.
