Last spring an egg packer at B11.1S-
sels wrote a note something like the
following on one of the eggs he was
handling: "Will the party who gets
this egg kindly correspond with Wm.
.Grewar, Brussels, as he is looking for
a partner. She must be goocnooking."
Months rolled by and the incident was
almost,forgotten, but the other day` a
lettertearin,g the postmark of Glasgow,
Scotland, was receiyed by Grewer reed-
ing in substance thus:, "Pwrite to tell
you that the egg came into my posses-
sion, and being taken with the urdque
way of adyertising for a partner I
'write to let you know that I received
it. As to my good looks it would not
do for me to easy, but if you will' send
me your photo I will send mine in re-
turn and you can judge for yourself.

future may bring forth, the reporter
of the'incident can only surmise.

had just cleared the track when the en-
gine struck the wagon, freeing the
horses and turning the wagon box,

A Bigiusilkt at Newcastle.
Newcastle, Ont.,, Dec. 71. -- Some
eight or ten -months ago a man named
Robert Hill came, down to town and
started busiuess. As he came well re-
commended he was soou honored as
one of the most -prominent members
of the best society here. Shortly after
his arrival he married Mrs. Bird, a
widow, who OWned considei.able prop
erty here, and who also was of high
social standing. They lived happily
until about two weeks ago, when an .
other woman appeared and claimed
him as her husband. Last Saturday
wife No. 2 swore out a warrant for
bigamy, and Hill catne up for trial to-
day. Whey the accused was called
and the charge read to him, and being
asked to plead, he said guilty, but add-
ed that the reason he did it was be-
cause his first wife ran away with an-
other man, and he thought he had as

Windsor, Ont., Dee12.---Government
Detective Greer, of Toronto, is in the
city looking up:evidence in the Roger
Allen murder case at St. Thomas. AL
len was murdered on the night of No-
vember 29th, and the murder has been
a mystery which has puzzled the offi-
cers. Allen deserted his wife and fam-
ily nearly ten years ago in St Thomas
and, came to Detroit, and obtained em-
ployment in the barns of Henry & Co.
He worked in the barns until eighteen
months ago, and was transferred to
RoyalOalt Farm, still in the employ of
the company. In August last he re-
turned to St. 'Thotnas, where he made
up with the family, It seems some
one had a grudge against the old man
and in Not he was asea,ulted and
robbed near Ms home. Allen claimed
to have grave suspicions as to the
identity 01 11,18 assailant, but would not
say anything to the officers. He had
previously taken out $5,000 in life in
surance, to be divided among members
of hisefamily, but after his assault he
had the policy changed, and made his
wife the beneficiary. It has been
claitned tho murdered mat, had ac-
cumulated considerable money while
in Detroit, and had it on deposit in a
Windsor bank.

when near the crossing the engineer
notieed a team of horses step onto the
traek just ahead of the rushing train.
The horses were attached to a sleigh,
in which sat a man and woman. The
man who was driving saw the danger
when too late, and his efforts to get
clear a the track were in vain. Al-
most in a twitileling the tragedy had
been enacted. The locomotive struck
the sleigh fairly, and it was instently
