when the lake got calmer a row boat

A DASTARDLY ACTION. —The meanest
theft on record was committed a short
time ago when the money box of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Soeietyl of
the Presbyterian Church, was robbed 4
its contents, amounting to some dollars.
It is thought that petty abstraotins
have been niade at intervals for s me
time past, but the thief proving bolder,
a week ago confiscated the entire s'um in
the box. The money reached the
heathen, no doubt, but not those it as
intended for.

ker, of this place, on Thursday morni • g

temperance sentiment of the place, and
organize a council of the body they re-
present. Their meetings, including one
on Sunday evening, have been well at-
tended, and as a number have expressed
their willingness to join the order, it
probable that a branch will be organ z-
ed before Mr. Beman's departure. Tie
hne singing of Mr. and Mrs. Beman is
much appreciated.

GOOD STOCK.—WO are pleased to re-
port that our enterprising and progres-
sive neighbor, Mr. J. T. MeNamera,has
introduced a very fine and highly -bred
Holstein Friesian bull which he pur-
chased from the noted herd of the
Messrs. Bollert Bros., of Cassel, Ontario,
This is a valuable acquiisition for theim-
provement of our cattle. This breed is
deservedly becoming very popular
throughout this country and' is making
rapid strides to the front. As milk and
butter producers they are unequalled,
and with these are combined beefing
qualities of a very high order. We
trust that our friends will make the best
use of this opportunity to improve their
stock and encourage Mr. McNamara in
his enterprise.

Maple Creek, North West Territory, arrived last

during the most severe weather. Calves were in
demand at from $3 th $9, according to size and
condition. Mutton critters were in better de-
mand and brought higher prices than on Thurs-

flects some improvement, and prices have ad-
vanced about ic per lb. all round, beat steers be-
ing quoted at 12 to 121c. The better state of

small. The demand, which last week was very
dull, is now steady, and with this there are fair
receipts of Canadian and United States cattle
and fair general supplies. The following were
to -day's quotations, being calculated at $4.80 to

12c; good to choice, 111 to 120; poor to
