One of the number, becoming so -enamoured with the af- fections of one of the belles of the vil- lage, tarried longer than the patience of his comrades would endure, andthey drove home and left him. Imagine his surprise when he discovered his predicament. Nothing daunted him, however, he borrowed the .younglady's father's best dog for a body guard, and set out on foot for his native vil- lage, which he reached as old sol was climbing upon the eastern 'horizon. The dog was labeled and despatched home. Whether or not the youngman has recoverel, we have not seen him since. -E.

Berry has reached the Old Coun- try safely and sold his horses at good. profit. -A. Weseloh, of Berlin, former - Stephen. 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.
