The Captain and Lieutenant of the Salvation Army spent nearly whole of last Wednesday at the house, ou the invitation of Mr. Freuch, and with a couple of stringed instruments entertained the inmates, thus relieving the monotony, ,Mayor Holmes held religious services on Sun. day. Among theinmates is a trfan who claims to have put in nearly 30 years good faithful service as a hired man on one farm in the comity; all that hs received in return was his board and clothing, and now when pts years of activity are gone, he was turned atlrift' and time became a ward of the county. The latest arrivals are Elizabeth Banneemau, of ,Stanley; Jno Kaigbt on, from Stephen; and Amanda Cham pine, of Hay making 74 inmates, The inmates are quite busy grading and gravelling a diad in from the 'side - road and, building sidewalks around the House and otherwise improving the premises The latest thing in a chairiless bicy- cle is the invention of Win. t'hotnpson. acid his sen, E S.

Thompson say their gear will run half as easy as a chain, and ap- roaches a ball bearing as near as pos- sible. After an interview with sever- al prominent bicycle manufacturers, they have"decided to put the gear on the market for 1898. The G. T. its has taken another step in their "retrograde -forward" move- ment and dropped off oue man presuma- ble froth each section.

We don't see why a station agent should not have the care of the 4 or 5 miles of the road added to his other duties. All he has to do now is act as ticket agent, operator, baggage -man, freight agent We and station master, �� a are afraid the new management will run the G. T. R. like the Dutchman did his cow. After months of hard training he got bossy to live on nothing, but she no sooner accomplished the feat than she died. A tramp umbrella repairer entered the residence of Mr. John Snell, Huron street, on Friday last and white the in mates were upstairs be walked off with an umbrella and parasol belonging to Mrs. Hooper. Mrs. Hooper was prepar- ing to go up town at the time and on coming down stairs discovered the ar- ticles missing.Constable Moore was at once put on his track and ran him down, but he had disposed of both; one he sold to T.

Mrs. Hooper is anxious to get the para sol back and says she will willingly give the price paid the tramp if the buyer will return it. The Mount Sterling (1l1.) Democrat Message has the following concerning' a former well known resident of Exet- er; We congratulate Dr. Henry M. Cowan on his appointment to the regu lar staff of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Keokuk, Iowa. The doctor assumes the duties of the chair of rec- tal diseases and the digestive system generally in the college and the hold ing of a surgical clinic associated with these diseases at the Mercy Hospital, The college with September lst com- menees its 57th session, has educated during its existence over 6,000 students and has now an alumni of over 2,500. The honor conferred upon our ,citizen is a matter of congratulation. He is both a scholar and a gentlemen and if ability brains eoant for anything -the. Physicians and Surgens have se- cured a good mac. Poor Annie crop. The apple crop of Ontario may be pronounced a failure. There is no big yield anywhere; and in very few dis- tricts is there enough to supply the lo- cal demand. There will he very little business in the export apple trade from Ontario this year. Clinton New Era: We doubt if there is a mall it) Canada who can put up the record that Mr. James Scott, of Clinton, can, as a public servant. For thirteen. years he was librarian of a public .li- brary in the old land, near Belfast; then for nine years librarian at Kemptville,. and he has just closed 26 years service in the same capacity at Clinton. In addition to this he taught school for 40 yetars and is yet hale and hearty in his S9th year. A case was tried at Clinton the other day by his honor Judge Doyle, which should help to put a stop to a practice tbat has become too common: It was brought by Arthur Cook, of that town, to recover 5100 froth John Murdock, of Brucefiield, for ;rafting 34 apple trees. The agreement was to put ' on the grafts at 2 cents each, and when Cook billed Murdock for 5102, claiming to to have put on some 2,400 grafts, it gather staggered the latter. He called in some experts who denounced a port- ion of the work as a, swindle, .and the l -crabs shown in evidence looked so much that tray that his honor was emphatic in condemning the whole game. Some of the limbs g': rafted ivere more than half decavecl,,so that there was no possibility of the grafts being worth anything,. Murdock had paid in $25 to court, as whet; he, considered a fair price for the reasonable grafts, and this the judge decided was sufficient, and the complainant wad ordered to pay all costa.
