It is a worthless cur and has been a source of annoyance to Malcolm ,for some trine. Malcom. concluded to despatch him, and accordingly, one morning borrows a rifle, and employs a young man to hold the dog. The trio repairs to an adjoining field, and soon positions are assumed, Malcolm standing at It range of 3?r feet. ' The rifle is dis- charged and the dog scampers to the other end of the field. Malcolm returns to town and avers he shot the dog through the head, and that the cur lay dead somewhere. In the evening the canine "turns up" and is still enjoying the pleasures of life, notwithstanding that Malcolm assures us that the cartridge went in at one ear and out of the other; hence the reason of the dog not being killed. We would advise Malcolm not to shoot the dog, but place it on exhibi- tion as the only brainless canine on record. Groceries choice and fresh at the Big Bankrupt Store.

February was also as mild as spring time, with the exception of one or two cold days. March was cold and boisterous the first half, then mold to the middle of April, when winter sot in with ice and deep snows, which continued until June.. June was bitter cold, the coldest ever known; frost, ice or snow,,.;.fiost every night, destroying almost everything that frost could kill. Snow fell 10 inches deep in 'Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, three inches in the interior of Now York State, and in a part of Penn- sylvania and Massachusetts, July was cold and frosty. Ice formed as thick as window glass throughout New England. August was worse still. Ice formed half an inch thick and killed almost every green thing in this country and in Europe.

The epidemic whioh was so prevalent in this neighborhood during the winter, and known as "la grippe," is reaping its harvest just now. Within a few weeks a great many of our citizens, particularly the older ones have been removed by its effects. The latest victims are in the persons of Mr. Wm. Whitlock, and Mrs, Wm. Balkwill, of the London road south, the former of whom died on Saturday,. the latter on Monday. Mr. Whitlock was affected with "la grippe" some weeks ago, and it was thought he bad almost recovered when he was seized by paraly • sis, one side becoming helpless, from which he never recovered. He was aged 77 year,,s and was one of the oldest resi- dents in this section, having been one of the pioneer settlers. Mrs. Balkwell also had apparently recovered from a serious attack of the grip and had been about the house for some days. On Sunday evg. she ate her supper and appeared to be quite well. At nine, o'clock however, she became very ill, and died at three o'clock Monday morning. Mrs. Balk - will was aged 50 years. She leaves a husband and several grown up children to mourn her loss. She was a sister to Mr. John, Gill and the other brothersin this place. The friends have the sym- pathy of the community in theiraf iction. Both funerals took place on Tuesday and were largely attended, the former taking place under Maeonic order. RIC =`A ;ICKARDS No Lady should fail to see our New Dress Goods.
