BniEFs.-Mr Chas. Hardy, of the 3rd,
intends moving to his fa+m in Niesonri
shortly. -Mr Abram Johnson, of the Base
line, purposes building a stone foundation
under his barn during the ensuing summer.
-Considerable complaining has been beard
during tee past few months throughout
Blanshard and Nissouri concerning tho
stealing of sheep and poultry of all kinds,
in consequence of which not only a few
farmers have been the losers. Although no
person bad been actively engaged in hunt-
ing the guilty parties yet strong evidence
created the suspicion that the thieves were
located iu St. Marys. And this suspicion
was fully confirmed Sunday morning, 18th
ult., when Mr. J. T. Brine, of Shoebottom's
Corners, while looking after his stock
nuticed that four of his largest ewes were
missiug, and on further observation die-
coyered`dood stains ou the snow, which
showed'that the sheep had been stabbed in
the yard. Mr. Brine traced the blood
marks along the Base Line to Qneen Street
and to the residence of Mike Handrihan and
thence to the house of Geo, Crandon.
Crandon was immediately placed ander
arrest but when the officer called at
Handrihan's he had find leaving his choice
pieoe of mutton cooking on the stove. After
a short search it was found that 2 carcasses
were in Crandon's cellar. The prisoner
was arrainged befor Squire Box and Mayor
Poole who after the examination of a few
witnesses decided to send him to Stratford
to await the Spring Assizes. Handrihan is
still where hope and mercy may never reach
him. -The concert given in the Preebyterian
Church, Kirkton, Wednesday evening, 4th
lust., by the choir of the "Presbyterian'
Church of the towuline beteeeen Biddulph
