It was made at Oen- etantinople, in the reign of Constantine the Great, who was made emperor in A. D. 32:3, and died A. D. 337. So , it must at least be 1,564 years old. There is good room for it between Mr. Quifilan's and Mr. Fotheringham's. 1 Tuievreio.—On Friday last, while Mr. Ed. Dawson was away from his liquor store, at dinner, the store Was entered and $4.50 taken from the till. Immediately on his re- turn Mr. Darnell missed the money and no- tified Constable Gillespie. Constable Gil- leepie had his suspicions, and after epieing around for a while cornered a boy named Butler, and, after some questioning, the boy owned up and returned the money. He was afterwards arrested and was committed to Goderich to stand his trial, by Police Magistrate Beattie. Young Butler has had a bad reputation, and has been implicated in other thieving escapadeis, while 'he has been under suspicion in several other oases. A term in jail will have a tendency to straighten him out. BOWLING IN SCOTLAND.—We take the following frorn the Moffatt Express, of July 25. Moffatt is a town in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. It keys : " One of the most in• teresting gamea of bowling, if not the best exhibition ever seen at Beechgrove greens, took place on Thursday last, between Messrs. H. aMeron, of Winnipeg, Canada, and George Hay, of Dimon, to whom were opposed two prominent exponents of the game, both residents of the ' WeljeVillage.' The match was watched with kohl interest by a large number of ladies and gentlemen. The visitors had. an easy run over, boating the natives by 13 shots. The scores stood —Visitors, 25 ; Natives, 13." Mr. Caineron is an old Huronite, and will be remembered by many of our readers as an expert crick. eter and checker player. . ° • TRAYDLLERS, —The following were ticket- ed to dietant points this week, by Mr. Wm.

Mr. Pringle ie an old Seaforth boy, and his numerous old friends here will congratulate him on his good for- tune. Mr. Pringle has been a member of the Chicago Board of Trade for a good many years, and this, although perh,aps the larg- eat, is not the first geed haul that he has made. . —We also learn with very much pleasure of the good fortune of another Seaforth boy. Mr. Nelson Hays, son of Mr. T.- E. Hays, of this town, who has been employed in a large book establishneent in Chicago, for Borne years, has been appointed chief mana- ger of the huffiness -at a salary of $2,500 a year. This is a very important and respon- sible position for so young a man, and Mr. Hays' promotion speaks volumes for his private character as well as his business ability. Tt will be the earnest wislr of • his many friends here, while congratulating him on his promotiou, that his health,- which has ot been too robust for a year or more, a ill ermit hie continuing in his upward career. hese young"FIuronites will climb upwards herever they go. ,., -• FOR M ANITOBA.—The second harvesters' xcursion to Manitoba left on Tuesday, here were 50 passengers left Seaforth sta. en. If the rush at this rate continues for ny length of time, this county runs the 8k of being cleaned out, as many of -the ther leeding stations send an equal quota. f many of them clo not return by next une, there will scarcely be a quorum large nough to elect the membere to the Legis- ture. However, perhaps most of them ill come back 4 efore the blasts of winter t in, and have pockets full of money, ained in the Olden land, to spend among heir old frieade here, and that will do ore than oompeniata for their temporal- beence.

Mayor Clegg'e large grain warehouse, at the 0. T. R. station, was discovered to be a mass of' flames, which had already epread to the adjoining building owned by Mr. John Clegg. All hope of saving these two build- ings being futile, the firemen directed' their efforts towards saving the other warehouses and the Button_ & Fesaant chair factory, and by hard and well directed effort they were happily successful, although for some time the chair factory appeared to be doomed. Much sympathy is felt for Mayor Clegg, as his loss will be heavy, his building beii 4 uninsured, and the contents only partialiy covered. Mr. John Clegg will also loss conaiderable, but, fortunately, he had b. policy for $400, in the Anglo-American, on his building. The indirect lees to both gentlemen will be great, as the grain season is just beginning.
