Dein Sm,—In my last communication 3 endeavored to place before the public information by which they would be guided in buying shoos. Of course it is utterly impossible for me +•o give informa- tion sufficient to unable a person to tell the difference between good leather and bad, a poor shoo and a good one ho every case. It requires years of experience for a person to become a thorough judge of leather, so, after all, the best plan for every one is to get their shoes from some reliable dealer, who understands his busi- ness, as ovary one will admit that they have got shoes which looked very well but turned out to be very rubbish. There is a kind of leather that deceives a great many, Ws mice, smooth and pliable to the touch and certainly feels like first-olass loather, but the trouble is that in tanning this leather the toughness is entirely taken out of it in giving it the Moe appearm re and the result fe boots made of it break at the sole as though out by a knife, break at the top of the stiffner and the eyelets come out very soon and when the boots get thoroughly wet they are a mere rag. Now, every person who has had the experience that X refer to I would respectfully invite them to try our solid leather substantial shoes that will keep your feet dry and warm all winter. We sell them remark- ably cheap. We sell a oblides boot of this class at 90o ; girl's at $1.16, and woman's for only $1.35, and almost every pair etauds good until next spriug so that many people get six and seven months wear for the trifle we mention. We have Loon selling the shoes referred to for several years so that they aro thoroughly tested. Yours 'artily, Brussels, Oat. 5th. ADAai 000n. Brussels Council Meeting. The usual monthly Council meeting was held last Monday evening, all the members of the Board present, Reeve McCracken in the chair. Minutes of last regular and 'special meetings road and passed.

The Red River Road. Mr. Norquay returned to Winnipeg on Monday night and was met at the station by a largo crowd of curious citizens. He was cheered by about twenty of his friends. In an interview he said he had not boon able to negotiate the bonds. Not a single offer hacl been refused, but the offers had never culminated 'so that he could get the money. Many parties had offered to investigate the loon, but about the time they should have had it all right the banners told them that they did not want to go against the iufiuenoos of the Dominion Government or the C. P. R, These influences counteracted every effort of his wherever he wont. Would -bo in. vestors had been led to believe that bho bonds wore illegal. Ho had offered to take the money as low as 94, and he do. ided that Duncan McArthur had made a bona fido offer of 100a for the bonds.. Ho would disunite the question of calling the Legislature together with his col- leagues. If the Winnipeg people would buy the Government bonds, as he had been led to understand they would, he be- lieved the road coed bo completed yet. If tho city would issue its own debentur- es and take those of the Provincial Gov. eminent in sxohange, there would be no trouble in completing the road. Until this was done there was libtle ehanoe of their being able to build the road on the basis on which they started. It is not probable that any of those statements will remove the fooling of distrust in his sincerity, whioh has become almost versal, Tho Proo Press came out 00oently with a strong editorial, stat- ing that tho present state of affairs provos either that Mr. No quay is incompetent or that he is a traitor. Tho Saskatchewan Herald said in _a recent isnot—The tarriblo havoc which tho gopher is able to commit wee shown a few days ago fu Balgonio, whore Jamas Wilson discovered no less than 810 grains of barley in the paunch of a gopher that lie had killed, and 266 kernels of wheat, some still with the chaff on, were found inthe paunalr of another, which had boon trapped before it had brought lbs opora- tions so noar completion, BRUSSELS, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, OCT. 7, 1887, Bel grave Show.

A strange lawsuit has been taken against the corporation of Wiartou by Louisa Smith, who claims damages from the village for the Council allowing a young man to be buried in a lot adjoining her property, on which there is a tenement house, and she contends that during the time the remains were allowed to stop there tho house was empty on that ac- count. No demand for any set amount has been made, but simply an indefinite sum is required. The corporation will defend the suit. About 3 a.m. on Sunday, the inhabit. ants of Burlington, Ont., were awakened by a cry of fire, when it was dieoovered that some dastardly inoendiary had broken two or three panes of glass in the front window of the paint shop of Mr. Hall, on Brant street, and started a fire there. Mr. Magee, with his mother and sister, occupied rooms in the rear of the shop. Ho was awakened by smoke in his room, which nearly stifled him. Hs gave the alarm, and with the help of a few neighbors succeeded in quenching the flames before the building was great- ly insured, although a considerable quant- ity of the stock was badly damaged. About thirty-five gallons of turpentine was in the shop, whioh was with 6.101. oulty removed just as the flames reached it. Had it ignited a numer of buildings must have burned, and probably several lives lost. The only explanation of the fiendish deed is found in the foot that Mr. Hall is a strong Scott Aot man and openly denounced the late Zimmerman outrage, since which he has been several times warned of the threats of his adver- saries. On Friday evening two youths named Mervin, of Strathroy, drove a flock of sheep past the farm of C. Baker, nursery man, Westminster, and it so happened that eight of Mr. Baker's flock had brok- en out of a field and were pasturing on the roadside. Baker's sheep naturally drjoined with the others, and the youths ove them on in the direction of Dela- ware. Mr. Baker later on was unable to find his live stook, and on being inform- ed of the occurrence mentioned started in pursuit, but did not make up with the animals or their drivers until Saturday morning, which he did in Caradoo town- ship, near Strathroy. He identified his sheep and demanded to know why the boys drove them off. They replied that no law could compel theun to separate tho animals, and that Baker oould not do anything to them for driving thsnt with the others. Mr. Baker, however, threatened to take legal proceedings against the bays, and they Bang quite a different song. and they offered to buy the Dight sheep, and Mr. Baker con- sented to their offer in preference to driving them home. Tho father of the boys refused to reimburse Mr. Baker for his trouble.
