Here on a rich, sunny, rolling slope, its front lining the historic) township for pot lambs (Wal- 1000) is situated the bum of this aged non- plo, Mr; Loper being interviewed as to this mysterious puzzle about the baby, related tho following:—Tho evening before, just about 11 o'oloolt, a knook was heard about tbo back kitchen. On going thorn ho 'open- ed the door, when a muffled porion laid on the It0or a basket and eniakly retreated. Patting his band in tbo basket, he naught Hold of a baby's head, and in a moment was hard on the heels of the hard-hearted yil., lain, but owing to weight of years and a heavy basket, ho was obliged to return, 0e the young prattler had waked up, with the jolting, and est up hie music, Mr. Loper dealt the impostor out some 8o1 very eom- plimeutary ejaculations, and retired to tho house, The baby was left in good flannels, with a $10 bill and 110100 very ulne00ssary iustruatlona an to her mono and training, wilieh, by the way, could not fall into bet- tor hands.

Leper, Peter, we are sorry to hoar, has Won very indisposed of late, A lulppiel', kinder, or more upright family is not easily found. Although years have passed since 1 looked ou their cast' home, nestled among the trees and the beehives, still in memory 1 often ponder over their hospitality, which every oalier must have felt, and my thoughts often wander to that spot as ono of the brightest, happiest homes on earth. In those days, when the temper- anu0 wave is spreading over the land, when I loots bank 20 years 1 ee0 Peter standing atone, almost single handed, battling in hie own broad, honest way for this groat meas- ure. And on that little hill -top, in sight of his hones, stands that little temperauoo house as a laetiug monument to his great perseverance. Truly may it be said,"Ho cast his broad on the waters, and ho has found 11 after many days." Many jokos went the rounds about Peter's straight -laded temperance principles. One said "Peter would not grow barley, only it was a naoes- sary Drop in his basis of rotation." Another 00131, "Peter would not use the cows' milk when fed on (shopped barley," Still an- other, that "Peter walked the whole way to Mitchell, 30 miles, on 0110 000asioi, his load being barley, he would not ride on it." Theso aro true, as far as Peter's genuine temperance line was hewed. Long may he and his happy partner, IlIr. and gra.

A correspondent of tho Tilsonburg Observer writes :—A farmer in Bay - ham has a sturdy son who is about 25 years of age. IIe also has one horse and an ox. As a rulo for general farming purposes, he harnesses the horse and the ox tugether, but the other day the sun made up his mind to take the plane of tho ox; so ha carried one end of the neck yoke and walked alougeide of the horse, draw- ing rails on a lumber wagon.

MacOoomb, of Welland, jumped over the river bauk near the now Suspen- sion Bridge falling a distance of about. 50 feet, striking with his face on a fallen tree, rolling down some 20 foot. When he was reached about 20 mili- tates after the fatal leap he was dying, and only lived a few minutes, He came hero from Welland Monday of last week to give au entertainment iu the Town Hall, and has been drinking heavily ever shied, and the freak is at- tributed to that cause. He ie well- known throughout the frontier coun- ties, having always taken a deep in- terest in amateur dramatics, of late years given dramatic plays in differ- ent towns with his little troupe, known ae Mo0oomb's Merry "Musicians." Ilie friends have on several ocoasions noticed him not strangely at limos, especially when under the influence of liquor. This morning after break- fast, he and one of his companions, Allan Morningstar, toots a walk to the Falls on the Amerieall aide. On their return to the Canadian side, and about 400 yards north of the new bridge, he climbed over the iron fence followed by his Mud. Looking over the preolpie° ho turned around, and remarked that it would be a terrible place for a man to go over, to which his friend said, "Yes; come, let its go home.,' When Mao0oomb, lifting both his arms, said, "All, hero goes,' and fell backwards over the precipice, much to the astonishment ofhis com- panion, An inquest will behold.
