DISTRICT MATTERS. A CURInSITY.—Mr. Thomas Govenlock has shown us what is is real curiosity. It is a sheet of what looks very much like brown kid leather, such as is usually in gloves. It is smooth and so tough that a person can hardly tear it with the fingers. It is much tougher than ordinary leather of the same thickness. Mr.Govenlook skimmed it from the top of a barrel of cider vinegar, that being the akin that accumulated during the winter. No doubt it could be put to practical use, and if any person can turn this hint to advantsge, neither the Etatoseron nor Mr. Govenlook will'charge them a cent for the patent right.

Dopp,butcher, bilike away from Welper's hotel, where she was fastened with a chain, and ran up Main Street. She turned in in front of the butcher shop and slowed deign, but the wheel striking a telegraph post frightened her and she started again, gathering speed as ahe went. At the corner of Goderich street, however, she was stopped by some young men and taken back to her owner. No damage was done except the knocking off of the outside ring of one of the hubs of the buckboard, but had she got past the corner there would, in all probability, have been a lively smash-up. A HURON BOY.—The followiug, which we take from the Globe of Monday, refers to an old Huron boy, Dr. MoCasey having spent his youth in the township of Morris, near Belgra,ve : Dr. J. L.
