Mr. Mildew's wife is in society, and is bound as if with' steel to follow all the nioeties in such matters. She instructed Mr. Mildew as to this WA hitch, as she prepared to go to church last Sunday. Itlildew is a pretty cunning rascal, but be said nothing, as he did not care to risk his reputation by any verbal con- duct with his other half. But when they arrived at church he followed his old style of open- ing the pew door and then standing to one side and allowing Mrs. M. to pass in. We shall pass over the scene that oc- curred on the arrivalhome from church. There are doraestio doings that are too sacred for the public gaze. As he walked off fot his afternoon nap Mr. Mildew remarked.: _ - This 'ere etiquette biz is all right. But I don't let no woman sit on the outside of the pew when I•ewant a place to rest my own arra on. As long as I am going to church I'll sit where I can put my arm on the top of the pew." —A boy engaged in painting the roof of a house in Montreal, slipped and fell to the pavement, breaking his col- lar bone and fracturing his ribs in such a manner as to allow the air from the lungs to escape beneath the skin, so that he was iddanger of suffocation from the swelling about his neck. This was, however, prevented by the doctor's puncturing the skin of the neck and chest so as to allow the air to escape. He Was taken to the hospital, and hopes are now entertained of his ulti- mate recovery. Auction Sales. Friday, Oct. 10, 1879. on Lot 18, Con. 7, Morris, Farm Stock and Implements.
