F there is anything that tortures an' N.ditor mote then anything else it is td puhlisit a $15 or h20 obituary notice about some old, prominent citizen, who never had the manhood to take his own town paper.

This is the bast announcement so remember the date and don't frill to etiteed, East Wawanosh. We learn by last week's issue that the worthy gentlemen who lost a 'set" of harness from a horse that was tied in some stable witnessed someone returning it. The corres- pondent omitted to tell us whether the horse was eating or not at the time it,was molested. It is best in to serious affair like this to go into all the detains. Now we do not think any man, even the greatest of cowards, would stay tip a tree or behind a stump end witness anyone eat'ryiug his property around with• cut itterforing, especially as he and his gentle assistant had hunted in vain for it for two weeks. if he did, he was certainly living up to the character he bears. If anyone really took this set (not set) of hiu'- tress he simply did it as at joke and tie doubt thought when the unfur- tttuate owner had conte to the vergo of tears aver it, that it was time to return tt, if it semi returned at all which we very much doubt. Ile also makes the assertion that it was a thief who took it. Now, we think this than is rather hasty in calling people thieves, as the offender did not sell it and afterwards buy It back again and return it to tine own - or, its we heard of a man doing with a hound not long ago. If this very much interested person that has taken it on themselves to defend this reprobate character Intends to defend him in all his dirty little affairs they will have a job for a life time, and it certainly won't add to their popu- larity. We are given to believe by the paper that he used threats to induce the offenders to return the missing property. Wo have heard that he is a dangerous man brit not in this. line, But it he intends to come to the front as as a pugitdat he will' certainly treed to start soon ; we must add, however, that when he was hiding up tt tree or behind a stump he didn't look very pugilistic, NOTE.—Knowing the writers, but not the parties interested, we must close these articles off and no more will be published in this piper.
