"TenarnLE LAUGIITER."—We often hear of
funny mistakes made by typograpbioal errors,
but the most absurd that we remember to have
seen, occurred in the London Free Press of
' Monday last. A short telegram from Canda-
har, announcing that 2,000 families had been
exterminated, was headed "Awful ,Laughter"
People who are ignoxant of -the mysteries of
the "art preservative." wonder where thelangh
comes in. No doubt the the heading had
originally been "Awful Slaughter, bot the "S"
having been mashed by the press, or pulled
out by the roller, left a couple of words which
Were ludicrously out of place.
PURCHASED.—The joint stock company who
had commenced the erection• of a planing mill
on property opposite the market square, hav-
ing encountered eome:diflicnities have been
obliged to ubandon the en terpriee and dispose
of their property, consisting of two lots and

CLEAR HEADED.—The Council of Stephen
are a clever lot of business men. When in-
viting
wanders for printing, they gave each of
two onions list of articles that might to re-
quired, and each item was to haveT,a price
placed opposite it. We did so, but the other
office thinking to play a sharp game, ignored
the list, and offered to do the work for a Lump
sum. And would it be believed, the Council
permitted such a "catch" tender to be placed
in competition with ours, and professed to be.
unable to see anything unfair in the proceed -
lug. We will explain how it was. All the
printing specified might not have been re-
quire& Fer instance, there may be no elec-
tion next January. Had the " catch " tender
been lowest and accepted, the ballots and other
election printing would have to be paid for, id,
though not needed. According to our tender,
they pay only for what they get printed.
Therein lies the difference.
WE direct attention to Mr. John Speak -
man's card in another column. He loans
money for the Huron & Erie Company, one of
the very bust institutions of the kind.
