however, he borrowed the .younglady's
father's best dog for a body guard,

To the ',Altar Exeter Tones.
In my experience of the township of
Stephen feequently see things mir-
aculous. For instance last year the
assessment roll did not contain the
name of a:certain person assessed for a
dog. Of course the man had no dog
(so he said) when the assessor was
around, but after a, while he said he
might spare 5 or at something like
$5 each. Of coarse they were extra
good ones. This year there are only
two persons in the township paying
$2 for a dog. There initials; are H, E. and
F. H. NO miracle in this, but what
puzzles.me is there are quite a number
in the township who are not assessed
for any dog or only a $1 dog, who
have pups for sale. Generally every
May we have a Court Revision of
the assessnient roll. A few days ago
we had a Court of Revision of the list.
Should we not have a Court of Revi-
sion on the dog assessment. OBSER-
