.A. cheeky tbeft, requiring consider-
able unadulterated gall, was perpetra-
ted in the Commercial Hoouse stable
on. Monday evg., when a light-fingered
filcher, thinking winter was close at
hand carried off a good buffalo robe
from a visitor's rig. The thief is known
and will be dealt with by the proper
authorities of the law if the robe is not
returned immediately.
It is a lamentable fact, but true.
nevertheless. that there are some .very
destructive boys in the town. No soon
is a house vacated than the window
panes are broken. The windows in that
large two story residence, opposite. E.
J. Spackman'e residence recently 'va.
Gated by S. C. Hearsey and family, are
conspicuous targets for the small boy.
Boys who do such mischief should be
severely dealt with.
Every little while we hear of • some
one who has stuck a rusty nail into
his foot, knee or some other portion of
his person and lockjaw has resulted
therefrom, of which tho ' patient died.
Yet all such wounds, it is said, can be
healed without such fatal consegnen
ces as often follow them. Smoke such
wounds or any wound or bruise, that
is inflamed, with burning wood or
woollen cloth, Twenty minutes in the
smoke of wool will take the pain out of
the worst case of inflammation' arisiugc.
from these wounds.
A most Office Notice.
The Post Office Department has is
sued a notice to post -masters calling
attention to the factthat requests ou,.
the covers, of newspapers and book
packages for direct return, if` not de
livered, cannot be complied; with, but..
that only letters can be thus treated.
Postmasters have been directed to ex-
ercise care to exclude from, the mails
all correspondence postedby collecting
agencies on which the dunning char-
acter of their business is prominently
indicated
Delinquent Subscribers.
The Arthur Enterprise has issued the
following notice: Those long suffering
persons, the delinquent subscribers,
have not been troubled much of late,
The campaign is now ` reopening. It
has been established by two recent
cases in court that it is legal to adver-
tise and sella book account or debt by
public auction vve have the neees
sary material to do the advertising and
auctioneer Heiferman has placed his
services at our disposal, so we intend
to publish a list of all the de inquents,
with the amount of their arrears, Gild
sell them by auction from the band
stand on Hefferman's corner. This is.
right, Wo cannot wait any longer, as
our creditors will not allow it. Lots of
people like to see their names in print,
but we do not think they will enjoy
seeing their name in this fashion.
Those who do not pay inside of thirty
days will see it whether they like it or
not."

While Master Eddie Pickard, son of
Richard Pickard, was playing football
on Friday, with a number of playmates
he had the misfortune to break his leg
just above the ankle, Like' all other'
accidents of this nature with boys, it
is hard to ascertain exactly how they
happen. In this case it is supposed
that while Eddie was about to give the
footbalha "lifter" with the side of his
foot one of the other boys in the act of
jumping to stopthe ball jumped on
Eddie's leg. The accident :is an un-
fortunate one, but the game to. saythe.
best of it is a rough one. Boys should
be more careful while iu the field.
The Seaforth_Expositor • says: -"Mr.
Wm. Ba.wden, of Exeter, has purchased
from Mr, F. Holmested, acting for Mr.
W. C. Meyer, the Meyer property in.
Harphurhey. This property consists
of twenty-eight acres, and was pur
chased for $1,425. It is beautifully
situated for park lots or building pur-
poses and it seems to us that Mr, Baw-°
Sen, with his usual good luck, has
struck a bargain In, years past this
property has been held at a much high-
er figure than this and we fancy that
had it been known it could be purch-
ased for any such figure it would not
have remained long inthe market."
Owner Wanted.
We have been handed a gentleman's
walking stick which was picked up on
the street. The stick is evidently ,a
valuable one and looks like a Chicago
souvenir. The owner may have same
by proving property and paying ex-
penses.
One Million Almanacd.
Since the first issue of the CANADIAN
ALMANAC more than one million copies
have been circulated. The issue for
1894 will be ready in about a month,
and will be the finest Almanac ever

NAhrAN ALMANAC is the standard Year
of Canada, and will be greatly enlarged
and improved for 1894.

Geo. Blatchford are shipping large.
