We would advise this gentleman to continueiu the turn ber business, but to open out on a. new departure with a buck saw and a cord of wood," Late on the night of Wednesday, 20th inst,.an Oxford constable started with a 1,llsoner named Thomrs Pearson ; from Brownsville, with the view of Waite him to Woodetock gaol, where he ball been committed on a charge of ideating scme $45 from a hotel keeper is Browiasviilo. The ooustable liad stupidly neglected to hats cuff leis prisoner, wh.o, when at a solitary hart of the roeld, lumped from the buggy, and ma le through the woods. The officer pursued the prisoner for some time, but failed to overtake hien, nor lies ho ,yet been recaptured. j This is the way they do with tramps in Brantford. During the previous winters the Chief of .cairn was instruct - t t1 to give shelter and meals to all r p. plicents, amt the umber quickly uaulti- plied as the sinter really set in. The plan now is that all receiving meals must Flo two hours' work at breaking atoll° before they are allowed to depart in the wonting. Of course, whether willing to work or not, shelter is not denied to any. The City Council laid in four hundred cords of stone, to be broken during the winter in this man ner, but up to the present time not a singlo tramp has been willing to work, and what few there are coining and going; dec:are they gill give the city a wide berth henceforth. liomo of our contemporaries in other lo3ali:iss would like to see the same plan triers elsewhere. Ono day last week some parties in Courtright got into conversation res- pectieg some feats of jumpin g they had witnessed, the conversation leading to the taking of a number of bets as to whether a I1r. Jecelyn, a bridge con- tractor on the Canada Southern rail. way, whi was at work at. Gonririglit rrt the tulle, could or could not jump one hundred feat iu ten successive jumpa. After allnwiug the betting to go on for L Homo tithe . Mr.. ,Jocelyn consented to exhibit he could :lo, and picking up the weights he let out, and cleared one huudred end ten feet in nine jutnps with. ;seat ease, greatly to the astonish- ment of those who had bet that he could not clear a hundred feet iu ten jumps. In fact, Mr. Jocelyn could have done a good deal better than that had ho bion put to it, for ho cleared about fifteen feet at the last j tune. The London Adrertiser of the 24th inst.., says :—" Within a short time two deaths have been caused in Lon- don by the pranks of a lot of boys whe make a habit of shouting and throwing- stones hrowingstones at .horses. We d0 not suppose that ttte boys are actuated in the first place by any criminal intent, but that does not alter the sad result. If the authorities were to summon before the Palice Magistrate such boys as are seen at the dangerous practice, it would tend to lessen the evil complained of. These remarks are suggested by the sad death of Master Harry, a sou of Mr. George Robinson, of the firm of Robinson, Little, & Co. On Saturday afternoon he had gone out riding on horseback from his father's residence, coiner of Richmond and James streets, and had not gone far when some I'oys began yelling and pelting the horse. The effect of this was to startle the animal, r and it ran away, throwing the boy off and breaking his neck. A few minutes afterwards the little lad's sister was startled to see the horse return without a rider, and ran out to learn the cause. The sad truth was soon told her. In falling the boy had not only had his neck broken, but received from the horse a kick that fractured his skull, so that death must have occurred instant- ly. The news, as may be imagined, created a profound feeling of sorrow in in the neighbourhood, and in their deep affliction the family will have the sympathy of all. The deceased child was somewhat sicl'ly, and was a great favourite with his playmates." A RICH .MAN SENT TO PRISO N At the petty sessions, Margate, Robert John W. France, said to be a young man of immense property, was brought up in custody of the Head Constable on .a warraut charging him with torturing a cat by setting his dogs to worry the fame. The ease excited the greatest possible interest, in con- sequence of the offender having recent- ly been commited to prison by the Kingston magistrates for two months for having driven two horses to death besween Worthing and Sarbiton. , It proved that the defendant was walking with three ferocious dogs and that these animals were set to worry a cat, dogs off, which ho refused to do. Early next en ruing he left Margate in ordor to elude the vigilance of the police who were in pursuit, and who communicated at once with the Secretary to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and after much difficulty the officer of the society succeeded in ar- resting the defendant at the Star and Garter Hotel, Putney. In consequence of twoprevious convictions being proved against Mtn for cruelty to ani- mals the Court ordered the defendant to pay the costs, and seuteneed him to one mouths imprisonment, this time with ha.d labor. EUROP_4 GROWING ,1OLDEIt. A Swedish paper publishes an inter. eating article under the heading, "Why is, the Climate of Europe grow- ing Calder ?" The article stated that in the Bay of I%orueneck, near Kotna, in Greenland. fossil and very chara:;- teristie renntins of p,tlrp and other trees have been discovered lately, which tend to show that in these parts formerly a rich vegetation :rust have existed. But the ice period of goolo- diets arrived, and, as a consequence of the decreasing temperature, this fine vegetatfan was coveted with the ice and, snow. This sinking in the tem- perature, which moved in a sor,ther;y direction, as can be proved by a. geolo- gical data,: that is, the discovery of fossil plants of certain species, seems to be going on in our days also. During the last few years the ice has increased towards the south ; time be- tween Greenland and the Arctic Sea c,atassel massae of ice have amino. ated, Un European coasts r avigators now frequently dud ice in latitudes where it never exirted before drying ;he summer months, and the coldreign ing upon the Scaudivavian peniui uta this summer results from the ntaeses of tee whioh aro floating in the region where the Gulf Stream bends towards our coasts. This is a repetition of the observations made in the cold sumtiuer of 1875, The unaccustomed vicinity of thebe masses of ice has =dared the climate of Iceland so cold that corn no longer ripens there, and the Iceland- ers, in fear ofa coining famine and icy climate begin to find a new house in America. ENCOUNTER WITH A 33E11E. Mr. George Robertson, of the 12th concessieu of Elm, brought a large bear to the Mitchell market the other day, which he killed the day provious. He was working in the bush on his own lot, and the barking of a neigh- bor's dog attraoted his attention. Proceeding to the spot he found that the dog was attacking a boar, which was lying in a hole under a large pine. kir. R. left and went for heavy ammunition. After procuring it, he re- turned, accompanied by his brother Alexander. Te'sey tenni the bear in the SAMS place and salted trim with the contents of their duns, which had the effect of making bim bolt through the bush on the double quick, lerving the brothers to follow. Finding it useless to pursue him without the aid of a dr,g, Alexander went to procure ore, and George followed on. Soon two dogs were on the trail, and brought old bruin .eo bay. When George came up, the bear was driving tae dogs before him, and without any hesitation, George shot at him and beat tattoo on his bead with the gun, which to all t,ppearance the tear took in part, for he made a retreat, follow- ed by the dogs. George seized his ase, witch he had brought with him, anti carne face to face again with hie bear - ship and buried the weapon into the bead of the brute a little above the eyes, which laid him Hors de combat. Tne carcass weighs about 300 lbs. The famous mare "Flora Temple," known for many years as 'The Qnaen of the Turf," receives from the press such obituary attentions as few public men would get at their death. Her age was thirty-two years. She was reared. iu Oneida county, and was of the Ken- tucky Hun.er breed. When four years oid she was sold to a Chewing° county man for $13, because she roar wilful and unservioable. Later she was s ld for $68 and after several ex- changes brought $350. She was de- veloped at the racecourse by the Per- rin brothers. Hiram Woodruff had charge of her until she had trotted in 2.24. He thinks she could have gone a mile in 2.21 at that time. "Flora Temple" wan eleven years on the track and trotted innumerable races, with varying success, but with great profit to her owners. She was sold to Mr. McDonough, of Baltimore, in 1861, for $8,000, who kept her for breeding. The last, six years • she has gradually wasted away, and to the lust received almost royal attention.
