The Wingham Times, 1888-03-23, Page 7THE WEEK'S NEWS. CAlrA1aIAN, Rev. John Stenche4use, Methodist minis•. ter of Adelaide, village, wee arrested �n Strathroy, on Saturday, on 0 charge of at- tempting to blackmail hotel -keepers. Sarnia Observer .—"There will be a Pro - sincere' and Consumers' Combine Some ,O these days that will shake the sugar barons) and their Colleagues out, of their shoes." Many ci igranta. are preparing to 'leave Eugland for Canada during the next Aix weeks, in order to take advantage of the as• silted passages, which cease on April 27. Governor Blake, of Newfoundland, has been requested by the Dominion Govern- ' meat to arrangefor Rending it deputation to is - Ottawa to discuss the question of thea dm cion :of the colony into the Canadian Lion' federation, A week or two ago Mr. Thomas Boyd, of Longford, County Nlmcoe, broke a tooth, rupturing a small blood vessel in the gum while doing so. Tho tooth was extraetod, but the bleeding continued for ten days, re. duoing Mr. Boyd to a very weak state until the flow was :stopped by the application of a spider web. The stormy weather recently was severest In the Northern. States, nipped with frost 'some districts in Ontario and Quebec, but passed our North-west completely by. They b ' had Mild weather with ram up there. We shall soon see the Canadian North-western going down to Now York to enjoy a good pld-fashioned winter. Sir George Stephen emphatically denies the statement that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company had deoided not to build any of its branches on the new short; line in Nova :Scotia, and states that connection with Nova goods, and New Brunswick will • be completed this summer, ,a year in ad- vance of the contract stipulation. Halifax papers tell of the narrow escape a passenger train had last Saturday night en the Codedufd Mountains, It was thrown from the track, and, as the passengers very soon discovered, within six feet of a preci- pice 200 feet high. The whole train, with the exception of the rear truck of the ten- der, had left the rails, and it was only this circumstance which prevented the ears from leaping into the chasm. The reports are to. the effect that 'within, thirty miles of the Soo, in Canadian terri-: tory, there are vast deposits of iron, copper, lead, silver and gold. This may be true ; also it may not be true; and the latter is the most probable. But whether true or false the report will have its influence in attract- ing people to the locality, and a great rush maybe, confidently expected in the.00urse of another month or six weeks. Our advice is very,simpie--don't go. Stay at •home with your Sue, and if you haven't one, get one at once. The Peel Banner'sdescription shows a very disgraceful state of affairs at lots 14 and 15, Centre road east, Toronto Town- ship. Nearly thirty head of cattle, horses, etc., arestarving to death. Already.,'eight animals have died and the rest are likely soon to follow. The explanation is said, to be that ono Green, tho owner, is in; dif cul. ties. A. bank holds a chattel mortgage and other parties are trying to get the Sheriff into the premises, so that !weedy has con- trol of the place. There is no feed on the farm and thee poor brutes are wandering about in this diatressing state of. starvation.,. A number of farmers in the vicinity, of Hamilton have been swindled by a man, who gave Ms name as Fred Meyers, of Philadelphia. Meyers professed to be buy- ing horses for the. Philadelphia street' rail,. way, and made a number of purchases from various farmers, always giving them a cheque on the Batik of 'Montreal, and suc.' ceeded in a iety cases in getting small loans of $10 or $15, The horses were to bedeliv- ered yesterday, and in came the farmers, but failed to find Mr. Meyers. The cheques were presented at the bank, but, of course, Meyers had no account ,there. It is not known.how many have been swindled. No borset were taken,, however, as it was money the man was after. • " f UNITED STATES. Mr. Henry Bergh, of New York, founder of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to^Animals, died recently, A Nebraska sheriff who went out to stop a prize fight became so intereeted''that he be $10 On the result of the eenteet`and waved his hat over the finish.

New York retail merchants find the dogs which are led by chains by fashionable wo- men such a nuisanoe id :their stores that many ;have put up a gilt sign reading :— 'Doge are not admitted ^here unless in arms." Assistant city editor John B.

Placed upon either side and spun in one direction, it runs as nicely and amootbly as an oiled top, but turned the other; way, it ° , stutters " andruns, but'a short time.

Its membership is ever 300 and the aggregate wealth runs high in the millions. Its treasury represents be- tween $2,500,000 and $3,000,000. All furn- iture used in the lodge is covered with mor- occo. One of the aged members recently died, bequeathing the lodge; $300,000, and his widow, who did;notlong sur{,ive: him, willed the lodge $100,000. : ' The ingenuity andenterprise of the Ameri- can reporter are universally conceded, but these qualities never had a more striking illustration than was furnished by the late John J. Flanagan of the Utica Observer. He actually induced Earl, the convicted murderer, to allow himself to be hanged two' hour earlier than the appointed time, in order that the newspaper man might get his report to the office in time for the next issue of his paper 1 After such a feat who can fix limits to the power of the preps?, reamoN.

The movement for disestablishment in Walee ha secured a noblethough unwilling convert fn Lord Aberdare. It is, he says; with deep regret that he has become con- vinced that he can no longer support the eXiotence of" the establishment in Wales.
