1 PROTECTION FROM LIGHTNING.—The
guests who . favor the Grand Union with-.
their patronage •need . not fear the worst
possible case of lightning. The building
has been protected to the fullest possible
'extent, and as one gazes; upon the scene
presented' on the roof of that building, he,
does not hesitate. to crib:Joe Rymal's pun;-
,and declare that there quid be no harm:
in falling down and worshipping it, for
there :is, nothing like it in the heavens
above ,•'. in :theseartlr beneath, in::sea, . •or.
any where else. '
SHOULD 1.G STor 1 I3D —Certain parties
go to the cemetery -fm•'�no�other�-pt<rpose
than mischief: A certain party had afine
rose bush, which was fetched a long dis-
tance, just to plant pn her child's. grave:
About two weeks ago she. went out to see
how it was getting on, when it was in fall
bloom and handsoine. - She went again
about a week following when she found it

taken the flowers, hitt destroying the tree
was -a shame and should be stopped. •
' lloav TO Figi i A TREE; - fzladstone's
soul would have waxcd.'wroth' •with •in-
dignation at the tree felling attempt on,
exhibition in our town, on Saturdayy''. night`:
Some axeman, who we should`. -judge
knows a good deal more about -bread and
butter thin an . axe, cut' down the. tree
standing in the corner of Mr. Wm. Coats'
lot, and did it in such a way that it fell
over the fence on -to the street,. smashing.
the fence and nearly demolishing the tele-
graph wires. The ;tree was not removed'
lornearly two whole days, much to the;
disgust of Councillor Searle. '
,Trrixcs TO BE MENTIONED, -We have
been specially asked. to mention two
thing this: week. The first is the' con
dition of the cemetery, and the second
is the congregating of boys and ,others
zit two or three points 'on the main street,,
on Sunday, ,.As.to the first, we have not
been to the cemetery lately; and cannot
speak . authoritatively, but most visitors
declare that itis not at all creditable: to
the town. that it should, be allowed to re-
main in the state it is'at present. As to
the second we think that a word. to the
Chief' Constable is sufficient.
