Bond Lawrason entered the House of
Refuge as an inmate last week. It
certainly cannot be said that his mis-
fortune is due to liquor, for he has been
a total abstainer for years and a most
respectable member of society, but hav-

work he wisely avails himself of a home
that offers every comfort to all who
have the misfortune to be poor.

How to Spend. Rallowe,en.
Removing gates, signs, and various
other pranks of an unbecoming nature
are usually indulged 18 as a hallowe'en
pastime, much to the annoyance of our
citizens, hence we think a change such
as the timely suggestions from the Ayl
mer Express, who spent hallowe'en in
Kingston a few years ago, is worthy of
note to the small boy, who is bound to
celebrate this old time custom. In
stead of such work as mentioned above,
the children formed themselves into
little bands of from two to five or six,
sometimes all boys, sometimes all girls,
and sometimes part of each, In most
cases they disguised themselves, but
not always. Some blackened their
faces, dressed in rags, others put on
the best they had, or had fancy dresses
made up for the occasion. Then they
visited the homes of all their friends,
who were expecting them in most
eases, and serenaded them with songs,
music, dancing and sometimes little
charades. In return they were treated
by the lady of the house with cake and
coffee, fruit, candy, etc., which had
been prepared beforehand. In this
way the young people spent a very
pleasant evening, and the older ones
had a good time also. Why not try it
here for one year? It beats the old
Varna: Mr. Ralph Stevenson, of the
Parr line, Stanley, sold a pair of two-
year-old steers last week for 890. One
of the steers weighed 1,300 pounds, not
bad for a two year-old.
Mooreville: Mr. David East, who
has been seriously ill, suffering from
inflammation of the lungs is now some-
what better. His many friends will be
pleased to learn that his speedy recoy-
ery is assured.
Mitchell: A very sudden death took
place in Logan on Wednesday. Chas.
Burroughs, who has always been a
very healthy man, died from blood poi-
soning. He was in town on Monday
and looked as well as usual. He leaves
a wife and family.
Wingham : The death of James
MeLauchlin, at his residence, on Sat-
urday, removes one of the older resi-
dents of the town. Deceased was in
his 57th year. About a year ago he
was taken ill, and had been confined to
his bed for some time past.
Clinton: Miss Scanlon sustained a
fracture of the right arm on Monday
evening. It happened quite simply.
She was standing upon the doorstep
when a strong gust of wind blew the
door to and threw her down the steps
when she sustained the injury alluded
to.
Tuckersmith: The trustees of school
section No, 1, have issued notices ca.11
ing a special meeting of the supporters
of said section to consider the question
of erecting a new school house. Tho
present one, having been built a great
many years ago, is not up to the stan-
dard.
Goderich : The residence of Mrs.
Gundry, Britannia Road, was the scene
on Wednesday of the wedchng of Miss
Sidney E. Rose to Frank Stephens, a
resident of Cleveland, Ohio. The bride
wore a very stylish gown of white
organdie, with corsage of Valenciennes
insertion and lace, a wreath of orange
blossoms and boquet of the same bridal
favor, The bridesmaid, Miss Gundry,
was tastefully dressscd in cream mulle
with haudsome trimmings of mauve
velvet, orange blossoms in her hair

Clinton; A little son of Albert Mor-

shows how easily one can get hurt-
Duriug the day Mr. Morrell had been
getting an iron bolt made at Trowhill's
blacksmith shop, and as he was coming
home in the (miming, accompanied by
his son,he was walking on the side of the
street opposite to the blacksmith shop,
when Trowhill shouted across that the
bolt was ready for him, and stepping
back into the shop be got the bolt. In
the meantime Morrell had walked. half
way Across the street, his sou following
bim, and Trowlull gave the bolt a vige
trans toss, expecting, as Morrell also
did himself that he would emelt it. But
he missed it, and it struck the child
right over the eye, making a nasty
flesh wound, which necessitated a doe
tor's services to sew it up. It was pure-
ly an accident, hut had it struck the
child higher up on his head it might
have been serious,
