BITTEN. — The other day a little daughter of James Finch was patting a dog on the head when the animal sprang at her face,throwing her down, and putting its teeth through her cheek. The timely assistance of a gentleman passing hy, no doubt,' prevented her from being seriously injured. The an - in -al is one that the child has frequent- ly played with, which makes the action of the dog all the more unexpected. ENTERTAINED HIS FRIENDS. — The Galt Reporter, of a few days since,thus alludes to a well-known Clrntonian :— Mr Thos. JacksonL_ot Jackson Bros,., lasf`rvening entertained a few of his friends to a social evening and oyster supper at the Imperial Hotel. Singing, speeches, pedro, etc„ whiled away a jolly evening. Although but a few weeks a resident of this place Mr Jack- son has made many warm friends who are all sorry to see him leaving Galt. A CLOSE CALL.—That chloroform is one of the greatest blessings to surgery, etc., is readily admitted, and yet that it is exceedingly dangerous to some persons was clearly illustrated in a cer- tain office in town recently. A young lady watt undergoing an operation, and desired to take chloroform to alleviate the pain, which was carefully adminis- tered by her own physician. While under its infldence,life seemed to leave her, and it required prompt and e Jer- getic measures to save her. DID No'r KNOW HIM.—That the re- moval of a beard or moustache entire- ly changes the appearance of some people is well known, and an amusing instance of even friends failing to re- cognize some of their best acquaint- ances. occurred during a meeting in the Oddfellow's Hail the other day. Fred Allcock walked up to a gentleman in the room, and in entire ignorance of the fact that it was a person he is perfectly familiar with, extended his hand and welcomed hirn as a visitor from outside. After the laugh bad sub- sided he found "the stranger"was Hors ace Foster. A SmA.TEa TEs'r.—The underwrite s wrote to the clerk saying that if the heater used to keep the water in the fire engine warm, was.sufcient to en- able the engine to make 100 pounds of steam in five minutes, from the time the engine was ion out, that the heat- er would be satisfactory to the require- ments. On Monday night a test was made. One person tinning it found a, record of 75 pounds of steam in five rninuted,whileanotherfound 105 pounds in 5i} minutes. The chief engineer,how- ever, thinks the test was not a fair one. Ile contends that *if the engine ,had started to throw water when it had 25 pound of sten.m on that the additional draft Would have run the $'eats up tleliokiy. 1 TENNIS.—There will be a meeting in Doherty's office, Perrin Block, on Sat- urday morning at 9 o'clock, for the purpose of re-orgonizing the Tennis Club.
