Mr. Samuel Crich, formerly of Tuckersmith, and Mr. .John Tay- lor, formerly of Hullett. They were both estimable citizens.

Museo, the popular post- master of Manchester, gave usa call the other day, and although rather "dark devised" his appearance in our sanctum was like a ray of sun- shine to the !oil worn editor. INTERESTING BUT Totty.—An interesting case came up before the Division Court, held recently in Brantford, which invol- ved a question of forgery. A titan giving his name as \Vin. Barley was selling harrow clips iu the county some time ago and he dis- posed of $30 worth to M r. J. Reid, blacksmith at Caiusville, for which amount he received.a note, Mr. .Reid after writing the word "thirty" omitted to draw -a line t,) fill in the blank and this fact was taken. advantage of, presumably, by Barley, whe filled in the word "eight." In writing the figures'30 Mr. Reid also made the nought a good deal smaller than the 3 so that it was an easy matter to curl it into an eight without making any noticeable alteration in the size. The, note was presented to the firm of G. H. "Vilkes. & Co. who cashed it, bringing action. for the full amount, upon Mr. Reid refusing to pay more than the $30.

'Tedford said that lumps had been lit on all nights when needful since they had been repaired by order of the Mayor,— McMurchie reported sickness of overseer of streets Rentgen, flu(' engagement, pro ten), of Thomas Cottle in his place. Asked if he should retain him or appoint llaecker or Grununett to the posi- tion pending llentgen's recovery. Johnston favored Beecher as an old time employe. Couch favored allow. ing things to remain as they were until it was known whether Rentgen would be able to resume his posi- tion. Foster said if llaecker took eltentgon's place some one would slave to take Ilaeckor•'s place, and thought the arrangement of MOT tir• chie was hest in tho inoautime. Cantelon held that the Inspector should assume some of the duties of Rentgen pending the latter's illness; if not then Mr. Cottle should take the place for .the present. Searle agreed and that, McMurchie and Street Committee he allowed to use their own judgment in the matter. Searle also thought that Inspector Tedford ehould perform to a greater extent than he had been doing su- pervisory functions in the matter of streets, even if Rentgen was at work. —Finance minister Manning read treasurer Robson's statement for month of ,Juno, showing receipts $2,034.64 , expenditures, $1,448.40 —balance on hand, $586.28.

RUNG THE WRONG BELL.—Owing to the lack of amusement in town on Dominion Day, and the presence of an unseen but felt dreary void in our at•eets, some young men were tempted to play hall on her majesty's highway. The ever - watchful constable Tedford con- sidered this sport in such places contrary to the peace and dignity of the aforesaid her majesty and rung up seine host Bell of the "Vales hotel hefore the Mayor as one of the dignity defiers. The case %vas dismissed as against "..line host" it being a clear case of trying to toll the wrong Pell. Dear-MCTEs.—Mr. R. Mathison, superintendent of tho Instituto for the deaf and dumb at Ilolleville, calls attention to the advantages there offered. Even deaf children aro taught to read and write. They aro admitted between the ages of seven and twenty, and educated and boarded at the expense of the Province. It is only required that the child be of sound mind and that the parents or the municipality pay railroad faro and provide neces- sary clothing. Parents or others having or knowing of children afflict- ed in this way are guilty of offending against nature and society if they do not have the unfortunates sent to the A't3ylum. Application papers and all other information may be oh - Wined by writing to Mr. Mathison at Belleville. e .T,YR.a�fitile7P.'XFL.-M.-•.^f.V.•rewir."ivlFr•,Yih101rhli:t FIIFlllShfflg Goods.
