Siayen was alone in the house a daring fellow stepped up to the door and asked for something to eat. The lady good na- turgidly stepped into another room to get him something but durnig her ab• sence the fellow stepped inside the door and helped himself to some warm pies that she had just removed from the oven, which he concealed under his coat. On Mrs. Slayen's return she dis- covered the pies missing and politely stepped back to a bureau drawer, and procured a revolver, when the rogue who noticed her movements e'seaped but was glad to dropt he pies before going far.

ELIMviLLE. Many of our citizens have been entertained of late by the chimes of the Trivitt Memorial Church bells in - Exeter. It may appear strange, bidet the distance of five miles the "music of the bells" is distinctly heard. The most notable instance was on Tuesday evening the 20th inst. The sky was thickly overcast with clouds which hung very low and threatning, and this may account for the peculiar phenomenon of hearing the chimes in nearly every direction, and at times the sound seemed to drop from the zenith Whatever the cause may be the effect was very pleasing at this dis- tance and must have been more than doubly so near by. -A public examin- ation will be held in the Winchelsea public school on Friday, Dec. 21st to which everybody is invited.

Fenton Arrested. John R. Fenton, the betrayer of Jessie Mutch, was arrested by Chief Davis Saturday morning at his boarding house in Londesboro'. He was brought to Blyth and placed in the cooler. The charge upon which he was arrested was for seducing Miss Bertha Young- blutt, of Auburn, a young girl under 16 yearsof age and daughter of Dae of the most respectable business men of the village. His trial took glace Saturday morning before Samuel Uaid- well, J. P., at Auburn. There was very little made out of the evidence given, the girl herself admitted that he had. been criminally intimate with her but not with the past twelve months. He could not be convicted on this evidence and was discharged, The father of the girl then told Fenton that he did not want to see him around his premises again, as he had ruined his daughter and brought disgrace on his family. At this Fenton grew augry and at- tempted to strike Youngblutt but was prevented from doing so by Chief Davis, who received the blow himself. For this act Fenton was fined $10 and costa. It does seem strange that a wretch like this young man can cause the death of one girl aed ruin another and then escape without proper punish- ment. There is something wrong with our Canadian law that this scoundrel has been able to escape.

The first being' the marriage of Mrs. Ann Oliver, daughter of Mr. Robt. Pol look, of Grand Bend, daughter of Mr. Robe. Ridley, of Granton. The core niony was performed at the residence of the brides' father by Rev. S. A. Carriere, who is always willing to as- sist on such happy occasions. Mr. Carriere had scarcely titue to eat a piece of turkey as another couple were wait- ing on him at the manse, in the persons of Mr. Noah Stefiitis and Maggie Dis- jardfne to be joined together in :wed- lock; this being easily performed, the young couple started off for their beautiful homes on the fiats. We all join In wishing both couple long life and happiness. -Wo are sorry to hear Mrs. Robinson is not well at present. British Grain Trade.
