S. Cooper has it in hand.–.. Mr. Jamea Twitchell recently purchas- ed a • new safe to replace the one that went through the fire, and has fitted up a neat office at the rear of his store. HOUSE CLEANING}.—This is the time of year when the average member of the fair sex suffers from a speciesof fev- er known as "house-cleaning." The symptoms usually consist of the doing up of the hair in a linen duster, and the introduction of a plan whereby the head of the house is made to eat canned salmon off an upturned biscuit box for Ins dinner. Coupled with this the bedroom curtains are allowed to fly out of the u -stairs windows, and there is a wild desire to waltz all the furniture on to the front lawn. At such a period, the average lord of creation is made to feel that he is one of the biggest mistakes that nature ever perpetrated, and he is looked on with scorn unless he is prepared to carry the piano under one arm, and a stove under the other, while he play- fully balances one or two other arti- cles on his head. When he fails to ac- complish a few little feats of that de- scription, he usually gets the hint that he is only in the way, and that he had better go into the back yard and make a bonfire of the rubbish. NOTES. --.The regular sitting of the Division Court was held here yester- day, and a number of minor cases dis- posed of. One night last week a livery team belonging to Heneall became un- manageable right in front of Jackson Bros'. store and jumped on the side- walk—rig and all; for a minute it look- ed as if they would go through the window, ..but,Q,they..,_were . fortunately quieted.

' Something New Stewart's Duplex Safety Pins We have just received from the makers in New York a ship- ment of these pins. They are a great improvement over the ordinary safety pin, lock as freely in the dark as in the light, and from either side, cannot miss fastening by passing through, the point is completely hidden and pro- tected when fastened, and also have the additional ad- vantage of the "guard attachment" over the coil, so that the fabric cannot catch therein, as is so often the case with the common safety pin. \% e have them in three sizes, small, medium and large. They cost a cent or two a dozen more than the common kinds, but then the're far better. Estate J.Hodgeos Among the articles you may need there is possibly a HAT wanted. o's Your attor?
