the result. Apples will be very scarce,
pears rather plentiful, and plums will
keep in touch with the apple yield.

JUBILEE STAMPS -An Ottawa des-
patch on Friday last said: The post-

plied with partial sets from a half cent
up to 50 cents and from a half cent up
to $1, the distribution amongst the
offices being macre in proportion to
the volume of business of each office.
Thisallotment will practically exhaust
the rarer jubilee stamps, butthere will
probably be about 80,000 partial sets,
so that every one who desires to spend
50 cents or $1 for such an interesting
souvenir will have an opportunity.
The issue. of these partial sets are now
ready.
Cashmere and Brocades with the prices cut down very low. Come
and secure a great bargain this month.

$1,000 DurA.oi s.- Mr..: Heideman
has issued a writ against Constable
Creech, for false arrest, claiming $1,-
000 damages. Recently a neighbor of
Heideman's went for Creech, stating
that he (Heideman) was drunk and
abusing the family. The constable
arrested Heiclemen and took hhn to
Goderieh jail without first tak4ng him
before a magistrate. The Judge
woulcl not hear the case on• the above
grounds, and told Heideman and the
Constable, to go home. Constable
Creech claims, that on previous occas-
ion, when Heideman was bound over
to keep the peace, the Judge told hint'
before witnesses that if the prisoner
repeated the offence, he was to be
brought before him. without the pre-.
Iiininaary trial before a magistrate.
This Mr. Creech did hence the writ for
damages for false arrest.
