PECULIAR HORSE BUYING.—A cer- tain young man of tin's -township came ever to a farm house here one day res eently for the ostensible purpose of buying horses; of course it was purely eeeidental that the owner of the farm was away, and that 'nobody but a eouple of daughters were home; and nothing was ,easier or more pleasant than that the young man should stay all afternoon, it was a noble thing to do, but we are afraid that when the farmer eame home the young man's mind was so filled up that he forgot all about the horses. • Ohiselhurst.

Legislative Jottings (RePSIAL) The past week has been one of harcr work in the committee rooms rather than of speech -making on the floor of • the House. Mr -Meredith is in his place again, looking 'a little fagged after the big fight in London. He seems to be greatly agitated over the ' manner in wised' the House was open- ed this session, but we don't think it is • a matter in which the public will take' very much interest. The Atteney General's bill in regard to the regulation of the sale and use of tobacco ie one that everybody ca,n heartily endorse. It provides a penal- ty of a fine or imprisonment for every person under the age of eighteen,who is tound using tobacco on the streets orin anylpublic place. A heavy penalty more- over will be inflicted on any person convicted of selling the weed to minors. The evil of cigarette smoking among boys of tender steers has grownto such an extent in the cities and towns that it is felt by those who have the moral, intellectual and physical welfare of the community at heart, that something should be done to stop this degrading health -destroying practice.
