A lady living near Minnedosa, Man., was walking over the prairie lately, when on turning a small bluff she was suddenly confronted by a pack of wolves not more than a dozen yards off. She did not scream, but cooly counted them, and then pick- ing up a club advanced toward them. This astonished the wolves, and Bett- ing up blood -curdling howls they turned tail and fled, leavinglthe woman master of the situation. Charles E. K. Gregson, an officer of the Allan Line, bas applied for a Dominion patent for a heatable mail bag. The beg ie 0, .double one, the inner lining being of corrugated rub- ber. It is entirely impervious of water, and can be used as a pillow orkven as a life buoy. The invention is intended to obviate, as far se poss- ible, any such catastrophe as that which happened to the Oregon mail bags, A. strong effort will be made to secure its general adoption by the chief Powers, and besides patents be- ing taken out in Great Britain, Canada and the United States, applications have also been made in France, Italy, Germany, Austria and Belgium. James Kirk, of the township of Moore, had a delicate operation per- formed on himself about two weeks ago. He was taken sick last winter and was told he had an attack of pneumonia. His condition did not seem to change and ho kept gradually sinking until he was thought to be going into coneumption, and was ad- vised to go to California and see what a change of climate would do toward restoring his health. He consulted Dr. Vail, of Sarnia, and after exam- ination the doctor concluded his chest was filled with pus and its remove]. - would be necessary. The sick man stayed at Sarnia for about a week, when an operation wee performed on him and about two quarts of matter was taken from his breast. The pa- tient was relieved at, once, and short- ly afterwards was removed to his home, and by last accounts is fast re• gaining his strength, and bide fair to recover oompletely. Recently several merchants of IBrooklin, at the instance of a detect ive, sent out by the Druggists' Assoc- iation of Toronto, were summoned. to Port Perry to answer a charge of soil- ing Paris Green contrary to law, and were each fined $15 and costs. The ground of conviction was the failure to observe the provision of the law, which requree that none of the poison shall he eold to a stranger until he has been properly introduoed by some person known to the seller. The same detective at Whitby was not treated with gushing hospital- ity. It became known who he was and he was promptly ejected from every store he entered. kor some time he found it impossible to hire a conveyance to get out of town and he was followed around the streets by a crowd of men and boys, who booted and jeered him with the utmost en- tbueiasm. AtPickeriug his reception was almost equally unsatisfactory. to be which is the most. practicable route, via the Aleutian or the Sand- wich Islands. It seems to be an un- derstood fact that the cable is to he laid and connected with the Canad- ian Pacific telegraph system, which is being rapidly completed, and will be opened very soon. NOTICE!

SPARKS, Commissioner. Whatever necessity may have existed at the time of its promulgation has ceased to be sufficient to longer continue an order suspending all potions, and involving in e common condemnation the innocent and the guilty, the honest and the dishonest. While I earnestly urge the exercise of the etrictest vigilance to prevent by all the agencies within our power, the consumma- tion of fraudulent or wrongful land claims, yet, when the vigilance of all these agonies shows no substantial evidence of fraud or wrong, honest claims should not bo delayed or their consideration refused on general reports or rumors. The above order as is- sued by you is therefore revoked, and you will proceed in the regular orderly and law- ful consideration and disposal of the claims suspended by it. Very respectfully, [Signed] L. Q. C. Leann, Secretary. AGENTS WANTED ! Steady'Employmcfnt to Good Bien None need be idle. Previous experience not essential.

Those who bought them at 60e. must soe they wore grossly imposed upon and should by good right have the difference in price refunded. Spot cash or no oth- er excuse can possibly make the matter right. The Corsets were bought from Crompton tt Co., of Toronto, a most respectable firm, and they cannot be bought now one cent cheaper than two weeks ago. Had we not reduced them to a fair living profit the same Corsets would still have been sold at 00c.a pair.
