The Oddfellows have found out one more that their hall, which is a mo popular place of entertainment, is fa too small to accommodate such larg crowds as attended on the evening 0 Thursday, 1Sch inst., the bazaar an tea given by the Woman's Guild o St. George's Church.

Tommy Treleaven has comtnenced work toward rebuilding his dant re- cently destroyed by the flood, Joseph Agnew, town clerk, has been for severaal days at death's door, suf., fering from pneumonia, His condi- tion is at present somewhet improved, In consequence of the terrible in- jury received last week when kicked by one of his father's horses, little Johnny Forster died on Saturday. All that medical science and skill could do was done for him, but to no avail, He was only 3 years, 11 xnonths and 28 days old. The funeral was held from the residence of his patents in West Wawanosh on Monday to Kin- loss cemetery. Deep sympathy goes out to the bereaved ones in the loss of their bright little boy. On Saturday morning the house belonging to Mrs. A. Smith of Kin- loss, was discovered to be on fire Mrs. Smith was absent at the time, and only the children were there, It. is supposed that the fire originated from a defective pipe or chimney, and that it got worked into the roof under the steel shingles, or into a partition. Considerable of the furniture was saved, but the loss on the house and qn the contents that were destroyed will be heavy. The insurance carried was comparatively light. Horseshoe Superstition. It is not difficult to understand why lovers of horses came to adopt the horseshoe as a talisman against mis- fortune, says the London Globe, Horses were considered to be especial- ly liable to the machinations of witches. This fact stands out in all the records of the Lancashire witches and other evil hags. If precautions were not taken these mischievous witches would ride the horses at dead of night over the hilts, and when the owner came to the stables in the morning he would find his animals in a lather and utterly exhausted. A horseshoe fastened over the stable door was believed to ward off such evil. There is no superstition more deeply ingrained in all classes of society than that which is attached to the horse- shoe. As an emblem of good fortune it holds pride of place. Nelson did not disdain to nail a horseshoe to the mast of the Victory. In the early part of the nineteenth century, the horseshoe was very highly prized, and there were few London mansions where it was not displayed, while humbler folks were at great pains to fasten it over their doors. Horses were not shod either by tha Greeks or Romans. The ancients were content with wrapping fiber cloth round the feet of their horses in cold weather, or when it was neces- sary to pass through miry districts Instead of troubling about horseshoes they devoted their attention to hard- ening the hoofs of their mounts. Nero, who ever strove to outdistance his contemporaries, caused his horses to be shod with silver, while his wife's were resplendent with gold, but in no case were nails driven into the hoofs The practice of shoeing horses by driving nails into the hoofs was in- troduced into Eogland by William the Conqueror, but such a practice did not make any headway for centuries. The Indians, who had no superior as horsemen, never thought of shoe - ng their mounts in any way, and yet hey were capable of performing re- markable journeys over most difficult ountry. The Sandown Derby was won by a horse running in a natural state. The race was run twice owing to the fact that three horses made a dead heat on the first occasion. Prior to the second attempt the owner of Marden gave orders for the light plates to be removed from the hoof. of his nominee, with the result that Marden gained a comfortable victory. Even at the present day in Japan the modern horseshoe finds a strong com- petitor in the old fashioned sandals made of straw which are fastened to the horse's hoofs after the manner of equine "cricket shoes."
