THREE WATCHES FOUND. -On Sat- urday last two Wingham boys, ,John ;� , Park and'John Leading, took a stroll out into Morris, and as boys will, in 4 vesthrated as _they journeyed. Out Hear the junction they went into an l old log barn on an unoccupied farm. ' While up in the hay mow,they notiuced a small bundle, and the nrolling of a towel. and red handkerchief revealed 11 ," three watches, one with a gold filled case and two silver ones. Two of them at least appeared to be now. Of course the boys brought the unexpected find home with them. How the watches came there is the question now to be solved, and to whom do they really I. ll : � belong? It looks as though some tramp had left them there while mak- -ing a visit to town for provisions, and yet it seems strange that they were j not bidden. In AIL probability the watches have been stolen from some -person, and the tramp would be likely 4 I to leave them there while coining to town, knowing that if searched and 41 the watches found in his possession, ` .'' solitary confinement during the tramp's i summer vacation would be his portion. The watches have since been claimed by Mr Fry, of Kurtzville. . `A balloon ascension arid parachute crop will ( tonne of the 24th of May eolebrations in Clin- ', 711 �` t.�,,�,:!,, . -,' '' u ean � , O j. - l afford to. take of janoes of contracting a Old during this chhngeable weather, when `the spending of a very small sum of money +- -vnil provide you with a dressy and\eomfort- '' irble-Spring Overopat.
