Highwaymen,
"As Mr. Douphe and his wife and sis-
ter were driving along the road east of

by a gang of four young men who at-
tempted to rob them. Their horse took
fright and upset them into the ditch
where one of the ladies nearly died of
fright. The scamps were arrested on
Wednesday and tried before a mag-
istrate at Exeter and fined $2.50 each,
and costs. Their names are Melville,
Oaks, Smith and Scott.—Hensall Ob•

Scarcity of Horses.
Veterinary Surgeon Massie, " A"
Battery, Kingston, is deploring the
scarcity of suitable horses for military
purposes. He has been at many of the
fairs in Eastern Ontario, and can find
none up to requirements. Scores of
scrubby stock are offered at $50 to $60,
but 16 and 17 hand horses are out of
the market altogether. It is this class
of browns or bays that is needed, and
for such horses as high as $150 is paid;
The farmers are so engrossed in d airy -
lug and land improvement that the
raising of high grade horses has been
neglected. The demand for military
horses is constantly widening.
