THE WRONG MEDICINE. --One day last week a lady in town had an un- pleasant and dangerous experience.

MING — LEAVING •— Mr. Thomas White, o '.iladelphia. is •',;;;,,,,g ,,is old Gunton friend and says it does hien good to get away front the pricks and mortar of a large city; he looks well, and is pleasantly remembered by many of our townspeople. He has sold his ho mess in the east and intends to locate at Winnipeg, where his. brother Will is living, in the hope that the cli- mate will be better for hire. His sister, _Miss Louie White, wno has si I .s been re, id• ing het e, also puposes leaving town, having rented her house. to Mr Dinsley; she wilt spend the summer at Ocean Grove. An active and faithful worls'er in church aed social circles, her depart- ure will he regretted by a wide circle of yarin friends. JrST AS A WARNING.—Last week a" couple of boys appeared before. the Mayor on a charge of wilfully breaking windows in 'the Public School, They admitted their guilt., and were ordered to repair damage done, and were also to pay a fine of $1, or spend three hours in the lock-up. The parents of the tongs were informed that it was more in the public interest that the fine be not paid, to which they gave their consent, and the boys spent the three hours in the lock-up as a punish- ment. Should it he necessary to take similar action in the future against boys, they will not be let off, if found guilty, as easy as these were. MORE THAN ANNOYING.—A circum- stance happened at the station on Monday morning that was certainly more than annoying. A gentleman and his wife were going to visit the latter's parents in Eastern Ontario, and went on board the east bound train to secure a seat, leaving their two year old baby in its grandmother's arms on the platform, the father sup- posing that the train would move down,the yard—as it used to do—and back in again, when the father intend- ed to take the baby on hoard. But the train did not come back, and they pro- ceeded to make their visit without the baby's presence. Fortunately the child is about as much at home with its grandmother as its parents, and no- thing more serious than the annoyance of the circumstance was the result.
