Hus ton, to wish two of their number God- speed, Miss Eoxie and Libbie Eacrett, who left yesterday (Wed.) morning for their home in Brantford. Some of the young men present on that occasion, to a casual observer would seem to par- ticapate in the fun and pleasantries of the evening, yet deep down, no doubt, were painful forebodings. Other fair damsels of our beautiful town left us similarly and their affections were quickly transferred to denizens of that city. Beware of the Mohawk or other gay deceiver!

One thousand six hundred and fifty- six divorces were granted in Michigan. in 2897--453 on the application of the 'husband, and 1,233 on that of the wife. This does not indicate a very high re- gard for the marriage vow across the lines. As a rule, when divorces are thus granted almost for the asking, the state of morals is correspondingly low.

Flossie, the five-year old daughter of Mr, John Hunter, of the 4th concession of Usborne, narrowly escaped being eaten alive by au old sow an Friday afternoon last. It seems the little girl went out into the barn yard when the sow, which was followed by a litter of pigs, started in pursuit of her and fear- ing it would catch her started to scream and run for aroller which was stand- ing in the yard. She reached the roll. er in safety and was in the act of climbing onto it when the brute caught her and pulling her down on the ground commenced chewing her arm and shoulder. Her little brother, who was hard by, hearing her pitiful cry at once repaired to the spot and was just in time to save her life, The vicious brute had torn her clothing, dislocated her shoulder and inflicted several painful wounds in her arm and when picked up she was unconscious. A physician was summoned and on ex- amination it was discovered that the arm was badly mangled and one of the old sow's tusks had gone clean through the arm. We are pleased to say that the little patient is now doing nicely. Council Proceedings. Council met pursuant to adjourn ment at the Town Hall. All present.
