Tr will be seers From our advertising
.columns that Mr. Edward Harris, of Lon-
don, but well-known throughout this
county, has opened an office in Toronto,
23 Toronto St. west, as Real Estate and
Fhancial Agent. With this view he
spent several months in Crest Britain
arranging with correspondents there. Ho
intends to devote special attention to the
sale of farms and residences—upon com-
mis.sion—in these western counties and
towns. No other part of Ontario offers
equal advantages to those seeking farms
and residences. Intending purchasers
from Europe and the east have largely
been intercepted at Toronto where maim.
ally* their first eniluirles are ted and
have been induced to invest and locate in
that neighborhood. 'There has been no
representative at Toronto of western land
(except Winnipeg and the Northwest)
interests, and while property thereabouts
is fast advancing, values Here aro low
mainly front want of healthy, influx of ant -
side capital and 'new hien and fathilies. i
With purely local buyers the tendency is
to run down prices ; enquiries from out-
side buyers invariably raise them. Tho
advent of a stranger spurs the neighbor to
hasten and raise iris offer, sales aro thus
expedited, property made more active and
prices better. Mr. Harris' land and loan
transactions have for years extended
throughout this county. No one can
represent this district tit Toronto better
than Mr. Harris : his wide experience is
well known and renders him a sate guide
in all real estate matters. Intending
sellers cannot do bettot than communicate
promptly anil take advantage of his lend
Iist, which we understand will soon be
issued and widely circulated. Mr. I -Terris
can be written to at the alcove address,

sale can he left with Mr. I[ale as mention-
ed in the advertisement.

majority.

A DISROBED BANK
CLERK
One of the clerks in the Bank
of Commerce, London, had a pecul-
iar experience about eleven o'clock
one night, which will not soon be
effaced from his memory. It ap•
pears that tine clerks take turn
about in sleeping on the premises
and one of them, — —, had
disrobed and was about retiring for
the night, when it occurred to him
that he had not turned out the gas
•light in the hallway, loading to the
offices and Foresters' hall above.
He ventured forth in his night shirt
to "douse the glimmer" in the hall-
way, when, unfortunately for him
the door through which he had
emerged almost instantly closed,
leaving him alone in the dark ou the
stairway. He was in a terrible pre-
dicament, and for some time rumin-
ated over the steps to be taken to
secure his return to bed without
causing any unnecessary alarm or
disturbance. He suffered consider-
ably from the cold air, and finally
began to call out lustily for help.
His cries attracted the attention of
two young men who were passing
up Richmond street, and ono of
thein stealthily partly opened the
door and observed on the first land-
ing a white -robed statue, but did
not venture further. The pedes•
trians acquainted Sergt. Jebkins
of the fact, and 1'. C. Boyd was de-
tailed to unravel the mystery. fie
proceeded. up -stairs and found the
young man as described, and sub-
sequently conducted hien a flight
higher, after which ho visited the
residence of another of the clerks
and obtained a Ivey to the door.
'l'he change from a hallway through
which a cold draught was surging
to the tyarnr apartments in the bank
proper, proved very agreeable, as
may bo imagined, to the great lock•
ed out.
