used him in a cock fight. The bird he
fought against was• fitted with steel
spurs, as he killed Mr. Duffield's bird.
To add insult to injury, the miscreant
or miscreants who took the bird,
brought the dead bird back and left it
in Mr. Duffield's yard, The strong

against anyone guilty of such conduct..
'The Woodstock Times sags: --Tho
passengers on the Tuesday morning
train were lather diverted by the mis-
fortunes of a man who looked like a
farmer and is supposed to live in the
vicinity of Hamilton, as he got off
there. On the arrival of the train on
the Canadian side of the falls, the cus-
toms officer noticed that this individual
carried a card -board box with him,
and the officer asked kim what was in
it. " Candy, " said the man, looking
very uncomfortable. "Well open it,"
said the officer, "if there is only candy
in it we won't charge you anything. "
But the, farmer began to make excuses
and finally said there was money in it.
The customs officer decided that it
would have to be investigated, and so
took the 'man and the box into the
search room. When the box was open-
ed there was only a brick in it, and
when the farmer saw the brick he
nearly fainted. He had gone down to
New York to interview with some
green goods vendors and had paid them
$400 for a box of warranted undect-
able greenbacks, which he supposed
they had put up in the box for him
Not content with that they sold him a
scalped railway ticket to Hamilton
that turned out to be bogus. All the
way up from the Falls the farmer man
sat with a far away look in his eye. He
refused to give his name.

ages, though it is altogether likely
that the case 'will be appealed,
