RoBEEnY.—Last Friday night some
person, or persons, broke into the
station house and helped themselves
largely. A. pane of glass, 12x14 in-
°hes, in a narrow window, was smash-
ed and someone squeezed through it
wlio unfastened the door. Boxes of
goods were opened and among other
things missing are one dozen lathes'
jerseys, two boxes of gold braid, and
two gross of dress buttons. All of
these goods were taken from boxes
belonging to Wm. Neal, merchant, of
Walton. After satisfying themselves
in this department a pane of glees
was broken in the waiting room so
that the window fastener could be
turned and the window raised. They
then opened drawers, with an axe,
bat got no booty. The case with
tioirete was not meddled with. A
valise was taken from the waiting
room, the contents emptied on a
bench on the platform, when it was
used, it is supposed, for carrying
the dein geode away. Londesboro'
station house was mainly treated a
few nights afterwards, Detective
McCarthy has both cases in hand.
Dien.—On Thursday of last week
James Ferguson, only eon of Rev.
John Ferguson, formerly of Brussels,
died at Central City, Colorado, (about
40 miles from Denver) aged 28 years,
2 months, and 18 days, The body

in the Bruosele cemetery. His

OBIT.—With a feeling of very deep
regret we are called upon this week
to report the decease of Mrs. Har.
groaves, who died, after a brief ill-
ness, on Wednesday morning, aged
27 years. She was married to her
now sorrowing partner in Paisley 10
December, 1884, and although almost
a perfect stranger in Brussels her
pleasant, kindly manner, coupled
with her lvilliugness to lend a helping
hand in every good word and work
speedily drew a very large circle of
warm friends. On Sept. let a batty
daughter was born and although the
mother appeared to be recovering
nicely from her illness, and congrat-
ulations were freely offered, but the
spode of that fell disease, ooneump-
ton, had been deeply sown and the
patient took a bad turn and altos a
few days sleknese the messenger
death came and hissed her spirit to
her Maker. The net nova could
hardly bo credited by a great lnauy,
at first, but it turned out only too
true. The funeral took place on
Thursday, the corpus being taken to
Paisley for interment, per noon train.
Mr. Hargreava0 has the sympathy of

nouncement the Fall opening of the
Boot & Shoe store of S. Ostrander was
held on Saturday. There was a
largo number of visitors who admired
the largo and well arranged stook.
lir. Ostrander evidently understands
his business and has mado a very
favorable impression upon the public.
He expressed himself well pleased
with the business clone ou Saturday
and looks forward to a large trade.
See his advt. this week.—Last Sat-
urday Adam Good Held hisFall open-
ing of boots & shoes. During the
evening we visited his store and were
convinced that it well deserved the
name of the Great Boot & Shoe
House, the pine being literally pack-
ed with shoes from floor to ceiling.
How so many boots can be disposed
of is only explained by the large num-
ber of people which were purchasing.
We were informed that nearly 100
pairs of boots were sold that day.

duees to longevity is proven by the

Moore, with whom Shaver had been
acquainted for some time, represent-
ed to Shaver that he owned property
iu ltlooretown valued at $600. Shav-
er, without making a search in the
registry office, took Moore's word,
end advanced him $800. Recently
he has made discoveries which led
him to believe that Moore did not
own anything, and that ho hail no
means of collecting the $800.

"NOT LOST BUT 0014E BEFORE."—
The poet has said "Friend after
friend departs who heth not lost a
friend ?" Orators, in speaking of
the mutability of everything earthly,
ask the question where are the worth-
ies of the past ? Where is Moses,
Daniel, Samuel and Jacob ? Of the
first three, we suppose they are safe-
ly landed in heaven but about Jacob,
if reports are true he is safely landed
in Uncle Sam'a territory. Jacob ie
only the front name of the person re-
ferred to, his last name being Welsh.
He leased the north -halt of lot 19,
eon. 6, eometime ago and since that
has distributed his custom among ileo
bueinese men of Brussels and Wing -
ham, not showing favor to one more
than another. Monday Mr. Welsh,

said, and now is enjoying the pure
air of Michigan. A. large number of
of his former "friends" visited his

ious to see Jacob their wishes could
not be gratified. Rumor, well found-
ed, plaoo his liabilities up in the
hundreds of dollars, ono Brussels

cated to the Borrowing creditors

A remarkable story comas from the
township of Cashel. A daughter of
Hiram Grunter was taken suddenly
with cramps in her body and limbs,
attended by excruciating pains, wbicb
lasted for a number of days. She
was declared to bo the victim of
witchcraft, and as a proof, and at the
coma time as a care, her friends were
told to secretly place a Bible in her
bad, and if she was a victim it would
be impossible to keep her in the bed
while the Bible remained there. Ac-
cordingly the Bible was placed in the
bed as directed, and it is alleged that
the girl arose at once, that she could
not be forced to remain longer in the
bed, and that her complete recovery
immediately followed.
