♦ Rui s or Jovalummlt. —The follow-
ing from the Watford Aksosak-Adviser
is to the pout and should be taken to
heart by those who are interested in
social and other meetings: "We accept
complimentary tickets, simply as a re-
quest for our reporter's presence; when
tickets are not sent we Dome to the con-
clusion that the management do not
wish a report of their meetiag. While
we cheerfully give these none's, we find
it necessary to plainly state that we do
not intend it to be license for imposition.
When s society gets three or four dollars
worth of posters printed at a one-horse
job office, and sends us for gratuitous in-
sertion, a notice worth more in every re-
spect, and repeated' the dose, it is time to
have an understanding."

"TEs Twa Dose." — When Burns
wrote about the doings of "the twa
dogs," he little dreamt that in the tor
of Goderich a episode would oetur to two
canines that would bear recordigg. Our
genial old friend, Capt. Cox, of the
British Exchange, is the possessor of a
a well -regulated black-and-tan, called
"Scamp," and "Scamp" ha a chum dog-
ey, of the Skye terrier persuasion, yolopt
(Bob." The Captain says "Scatsp" is
an eioeedingly well-bred, orthodox dog,
but that "Bob" is an immoral, law-
breaking, reckless fellow, and is eternal-
ly leading "Scamp" into mischief. Tues-
day eight "Scamp" was enticed o
snore from the path of rectitude by •
i"Way ward eirdner," and brought
to a hennery ut the suburb, where
gory victims testified that a "fowl"

List of the nettleaeata FJ5lesed to Yate.
The offoots of the loss incurred by the
"Albion Block" fire are more observer
ble at the time of writing than when we
issued last week. An ugly gap has been
created among the business blocks, and
some well-known firms are missed from
the "Square." At present we are sot
in a position to state whether the burnt
block will be rebuilt or not, but we un-
derstand that tenders have been received
by the agents of tho Bedford estate, for
the cleaning of the backs and clearing
tho cellars, so that the indications point
to a speedy commencement of work in
the burnt district. The hotel proper
has been badly shattered, and some time
will elapee before it will be fit for Occu-
pation.
So far as we have been able to learn,
the following are the
Your committee begtotorecommmendof din

there has been some misunderstanding
regarding who should pay for the fire

upon their furnishing an approved bond,
as per agreement.
In relation to the Treasurers bond, we
