Lw. • 1 -requiring' g' The former school law r q children between the ages of Sand 14 years to attend school 100 days in the year has been repealed.

McTavish, merchant, who has been conducting a general store here for the past two. years,has decided to retire from business and has dis posed of his entire.stock, During his stay here, by his obliging manner, menial disposition; coupled with many other estimable qualities, he has made many warm friends who will be sorry to hear of his retirement We under• stand he will leave town but has not as yet decided what occupation he will follow. May his future be crowd- ed with success is our wish. A Shoe's d oft titnenits. In a pair of fine shoes there are two sewed pieces, two inner soles, two stif fenings, two pieces of steel Co give a spring to the instep, two rands, twelve heel pieces, two sole linings; twenty up- per pieces, thirty tacks, twelve nails,in the heels and twenty buttons, to say nothing of thread, both silk and flax ; but the wonder is found in the rapidity with which these multitudinous pieces are combined in a single completed work, for, as an experiment, some of our shoe factories have from the Leath• er completed a pair of shoes in less than an hour and a half, and as a test, a single pair of men's shoes have been finished in twenty minutes. The Franchise Aet, The Secretary of State has intro- duced a bill to amend the Franchise ;A:.et. The object is to simplify and cheapen the work by doing away with the printing of the preliminary lists, which will now cousist of the last printed list, with the names to be drop. p''d struck off and the names to be added written on. This Will then be. posted up for general inspection. The bill also makes provision that one per son cannot make declaration for a number of persons, unless it can be Shown that sueb;persons are unavoid- ably absent from the , constituency fWally in the cases of certain • dis triets where the time for adding to the lists was extended to August 15, the change ft: made of returning to the old date of August 1. The bill is a good one. It simplifies and cheapens the work and does it easily and without :touchieg the general principle of the E3osninion hanebise, Twoboys wanted, a Exeter Wellen Mills• epee, .et the The best 25c Tea in town maty be had et 1 ,Pickard & Son's.

He makes a contract with each farmer: for his wheat, agree- ing to pay $1 a bushel delivered at the nearest station whenever• he desires it.
