Attention is called to this for several reasons. The practice is a cruel one to the birds, and has a tend- ency to destroy the human feelings of, those who indulge in it. For iustagce, the other day a small boy was observed ea Queen street to have shot and wounded a bird which came fluttering to the ground, The poor thing was put auh. of pain by being stamped on, La - die who observed it shuddered and ehildren told of the act with tears stand- ing in their eyes. Such acts deaden the sympathies There is also the dan „ger' of such practice to persons who may be in the neighborhood, There is an old saying we used to hear repeated oftentimes when at school "Whatever goes up shall surely come down, ler everyone near look ottt for his crown," Thebegs seem to forget that the shot they send up shall surely come down, tall they seem to be careless as to where It will come down. Let this use - tette and cruel pri ctiee be eheeked ho- fereeeme serious result follows.

Very little honey will be gathered in many localities this year as a direct re- sult of the unusually long drought. Flowers were comparatively searce,and the bees seem to get little hooey from what flowers there. were. In several parts it is said, there is danger of the bees starving to death during the wiu- ter. In many districts there is no honey to gather for market, the little collected being needed by the bees for their own use. The Ridgetown Plaindealer says:— "Monday morning the lodgers above Mr. P. Bawden's drug store heard a noise below just after midnight. In the morning' the cause was apparent: A burglar had broken open the back door of the cellar from the gangway with a cordwood stick, and rifled the till of $2 in silver, took a few cigars from the show case and opened the safe which was not locked. Here he found the small wooden drawers locked. These he broke open and got $10 in change." The Main Street Methodist Church is almost ready for the opening services. The principal feature now unfinished is the electric Lighting, and this is un- der way. Provision has been .made for the dedieatibn services on Sunday next by the Rev.

The worst rain storm experienced in this section for some time commmenced here on Monday; and lasted until Tues- day morning about 3 o'clock when it develnped into a terrific wind storm. Buildings shook, fences were leveled with the ground, barns were unroofed and a general commotion was the re- sult, The fence north of Wood's block was blown down the, front part of the Metropolitan Hotel stables, the smoke stack of the electric power house, a fence in front of Mr. Terry 's property, and acar' standing on the G. T. R, track was carried a considerable dis tanco and derailed; also considerable damage was done in the immediate dis-' trictr: Mr, Geo. Howe has bought the Brus- sels woollen mill for $1,500. Messrs. Hoe & Co. have undertaken to build for the New York Herald, the fastest press in the world.

All of these papers will be delivered from the machine complete—printed, cut, pasted and folded. Twenty years ago Mrs. C. S. Warner, of Windsor, Vt., broke off about a third of a fine cambric needle in one of her fingers. The needle was not extracted and after a while ceased to trouble her. A few days ago she felt a pricking sen- sation in the bottom of her foot, and on - trying to discover the cause she felt a sharp point sticking out of her foot. A doctor was called. and he drew from her foot the piece of needle that had entered her finger a score of years ago. The steel was as bright as though new. Au amusing incident occurred last Sunday morning in a city church re- cently taken charge of by a new pastor. As the congregation were dispersing after the service, a leading official of the church, who is very favorably known for his polite attention to strang- ers, and his endeavors to make them welcome, noticed a strange lady among the departing worshippers, and with his usual courtesy, after a respectful hand- shake and word or two of welcome, very naturally enquired of her :—" How do you like the new preacher P" With- out acy hesitation the reply came:— " If everyone likes him as well as I do, I think all will be well pleased." The humor of the situation and the aptness of the reply dawned upon the courteous official, and a merry laugh went around when, a few moments later he had the pleasure of an introduction to the lady in question. and ascertained for the first time that he had been inviting the criticism of the new pastor's wife upon the new pastor. The following story although credit- ed to some half dozen or more editors of New York papers at different times, has such good poiuts that no excuse is needed for copying it :—An acquaint- ance met Horace Greely one day and said : "Mr. Greely, I've stopped your paper." "Have you ?" said Horace. "Well, that's too bad, and the old, white hat went its way. The next morning Greeley met his subscriber again, and said: "l thought you had stopped The Tribuue." "So I did." "Then there must be some mistake," said Horace "for I just came from the office, and the presses were running, the clerks were as busy as ever; the compositors were hard at work, and the business was going on the same as yesterday and the day _before." "Oh!" ejaculated the subscriber. "I didn't mean that I had stopped the paper. I stopped only my copy of it because 'didn't like your editorials. "Pshaw!" retorted Greeley, " it wasn't worth taking up • my time to tell me such a trifle as that. My dear sir, if you expect' to control the the ut- terances of The Tribune by pure chase of one copy a day, or if you think to find any newspaper worth reacting that will never express convictions at right angels with your own you are doomed. to (ltSi ppeintrgent, T LOOKS LIKE WINTER When men go rushing along shivering', but you can for- get the cold by dropping into Carling Bros.' cheerful store, IT FEELS LIKE WINTER!
