PIG KILLING.—A few days ago a couple of men in town proceeded to kill a fat pig. They arrested the pig and held him down while ono knifed him in the orthodox manner, and he was supposed to be dead. In the meantime a barrel of boiling wator had been -secured and the pig was soused therein for the pur pose of loosening his bristly coat. But the pig didn't believe he was dead and commenced such a lively kicking and splashing of hot water that his would-be slayers could not get near enough to extricate the animal from the torture that was unwittingly inflicted upon him. In a few minutes he was found to be "killed dead" and the finishing up process was completed. A FRAUDULENT PEDLAR —Says the Acton Free Press : The frequ- ency with which people are gulled by strangers peddling ono com- modity and another is surprising. One day last week a woman came to town with an assortment of silver- ware and of course she found pur- chasers who would patronize her in preference to a responsible mer- chant in town. One lady purchaser who invested a considerable amount iu "beet quadruple plated" silver knives, forks and spoons, became uneasy as to tho genuine character of her goods, concluded to teat tho matter, and took them to a local dealer for examination. They prov- ed to be trash of the tvotst close and instead of quadruple plate, were only brass dipped in a silver solu- tion. The lady's husband looked up the swindling pedlar, charged her with fraud and the money was quickly refunded. Other pur- chasers wore not so fortunate. THE LATE JOHN COOK.- Mention was made last week of the death of John Cook, at Silverwater, Manitou- lin. Last spring he visited relatives in Clinton on his return from the Toronto hospital, where he under- went an operation for cancer on his lower hp. Later on the knife was again applied by the Doctors at Gore Bay, and still later he again visited the hospital and bravely stood a fourth operation. But alt was with• out success. The deceased was well known in many sections of Ontario. He with his parents tame to this country from Ireland many years ago and first settled near Kingston, afterwards in Bentick township, Grey county. About 20 years ago he and his family removed to Manitou- lin, where hu made a comfortable home. IIe was a member of the Orange Order 36 years.

There were about 60 persons sat down to a table well laden with delicious viands not least of which was the orthodox haggis. A piper from Fantail set the guests on the qui viva by the inspiriting strains of the time honored bag- pipes. Chief T. L. Fortune graced the head of the table and chieftain John McMurray faced him at the other end. 'Twere too long to do - scribe the appetizing manner inwhich the Haggis and other goods disap• peered.
