Christie has signified his intention of seehi'ng no further honors by representin,g`theratepayers of the Village of Exeter at the Connell .Board after the completion of the present term. This we feel.quite sure will be learned with regret by the•town in general, as Mr. Christie is recognized as a faithful. and ardent worker and one who de votes the utmost care and attention hi. the administration of the town .affairs. We trust he may change his mind be- fore nomination day and .concede to the wishes of the 'people for at least another term, Some,days ago a school girl in this county, we sha'nt say where, found a package of loge letters written to her mother by her father before they were married The daughter saw where she could have h, little sport, read them to her mother, pretending they were of recent date aria substituting her o,vn name for that of her mother, and that of a fine young, . man who was well known to both of them, for that of her father. The mother' jumped up and down in her chair, shifted her feet rap- idly and seemed terribly disgusted, and she forbade her daughter having any- thing to do with a young man.. who would write such sickening, nonsensic al stuff to.a girl. When the • young. lady handed the letters to her n• other to read, the house became so. still that. one could hear the grass growing in the back yard,. , eisew Ads." G. G.

Mr. Thomas Ticknor, jeweller, of Parkhill, Ont., manufactured not long ago in his own shop (Parkhill) a steam engine which 3s believed to be the smallest perfect steam engine in ':the, world. This mecanicai marvel he has christened "The Little Jumbo." Its mechanism•c litainly reflects the high. est credit on' the perseverance and ability of Nji Ticknor. "The Little Jumbo" is .made almost entirely of •steel, highly polished, and is a perfect model in every respect. It works with perfect accuracy and ease.. When in motion it makes a musical hum similar fettle noise made by a small fly. The dimensions and capacity are as fol lows:—Outside diameter of cylinder, 1-48 of an inch; bore of cylinder, about 1.60 of an inch; weight of entire engine 1-2 a grain; revolutions per minute, 1,760. "The Jumbo's" piston, slide valve, eccentric and steam ports are so small that a .m•lcroszope is re- quired to examine them. The balance wheel is 3.32' of an inch in. diame- ter. The diameter of,the driving shaft is about that of•a'human hair, 1-16 ` of an inch in length. The length of the entire engine, including the balance wheel, is but. 5-32 of an inch; or one- half the length of a grain of wheat, Personal Mentiion-' lir. aild Mis John; J1.

He was working at a cut- ting machine which was propelled by steam. Although the young man is. deaf and dumb, he is above the aver- age in intelligence. ' In fact we believe he learned the printing trade and, was a good compositor: While performing some work at the cutting machine his left' hand was drawn in. The knives were set for a half inch stroke or cut. As the sharp steel blades revolved the fingers and hand to "the base of the thumb were gradually severed, six or seven half inch strokes takingoff as many pieces. The belt:at tis time was thrown off and, the machine stop- ped, else the whale arm might have been chopped off in half inch ,pieces. The injured member is doing, as well as can be expected, reasonably ted.
