ties in.a way that is encouraging, at least
to the supporters of the act. For the approaching season's trade, and

houses in town, and urged the erection o. 1 to attract their .notice. We claim to

property. The town at present tans great
need of more houses. Webave been ask-
ed by differeet people to try., and secure a
house for them, but at prcg'eT t ft -is liiYpok'
sible. People who would .like to move
here ars deterred from so doing, because
houses cannot be had. It is a good sign
for the town, that houses are so scarce,but

BaITioE INSPECTOR. — Mr. Ainsley,.

done to it. He found _that. -one -sof -til:

strengthened, so that•it would be Secure
until such time as it will be replaced by
an iron superstrtfcture,which will be some

Coats put in new safe last week. It is a
combination one, of Taylor's manufac-
ture; Toronto, weighs nearly two tons,
with all'the latest .improvements, and is
a highly finished piece of workmanship.
�Mr. Coats say's he does not intend to keep
' money init,butprobably this isonly a,little
b ruse of Ilia lest our cupidity might be
tempted to test the safe's resistance.
While bringinghis old one from the back
of the store to the front, it got the better
of those moving it, -and came part of the
way down a short stairway itself, dropping
on the floor witjt .u• force that sho6i the
bricks in the whole block. •

many other mortals, he has never hitherto

last smiled Upon, and he is the possessor
now of a moderate fortune,received at one
stroke, He bas been occasionally invest-
ing a spare dollar in the Louisana State
Lottery, but was not fortunate enough to
make a lueky-atroke until the other day,
when a ticket he held drew one-tenth of
the first capital prize of$150,000,,which,of
course, -amounted to $15,000, and another
ticket drew a tenth of a $300 prize,tnaking
in all $15,030. The money, we believe,
has been forwarded to him., costing him
only th o express charges on it, something
