CIVIC NOLIDAY.—The mayor has
issued his proclamation appointing
Thursday, the 6th of August, a Civic
Holiday. There will be the usual
excursion rates to different points.
A VALUABLE MATL.—One day last
week W Doherty & Co received on
the two o'clock mail, orders for 60
organs; also on the same mail in cash
and notes on outstanding accounts
$2115.50. Pretty good for one day.
CHANGE OP TIME.—A new time
table went into effect last week, by
which a few slight changes are made
in the running of trains on the G T
R branch. Here are the corrected
figures:—
Going East.
7.43 a. m.
2.33 p.m.
4.55 p.m.
Going West.
10 a. m,
1,28 p.m,
6.55 p. m.
9.32 p. m.
ABOUT A HOG rax.—Mr Henry
Street was up before the mayor and
reeve, on Monday, on a charge of
contempt of court. He had been
notified td remove a hog -pen, which,
it was claimed, was located contrary
to by-law; he neglected to move it,
• and Mr Wheatley did so by force.
Defendant was fined $8.06 this being
the amount of the expenses incurred
by his neglect to comply with the
by-law.
CHERRIES AND BERRIES.—Hun•
dreds of baskets of cherries have been
shipped from this station during the
past week, and a like quantity of
'berries have gone with them. The
berry crop, especially in ,the south-
ern portion of the county, must be
,enormous, and large quantities are
'daily brought up here by the L H & B
trains, and transhipped to eastern
points. Unless people see the stuff
ehipped they have little idea of the
extent that the , fruit business has
reached.
CRUELTY. — On Friday night a
man named Lang, who resides at
Brumfield, started for home, but
when he got near Granton, he tum-
bled out of the rig; being in a some-
what "indifferent" condition, he
made his; way home the remainder of
the distance on foot. Next morning
rte9-who found the horse, tied it
ts
s; fcfuce corner, where it remained
l day; until constable Wheatley,
b h$g ,infbrmed, brought it to town,
where it was kept until its owner
sent after it.
LIQuoa CASE.—On Thursday last,
Mr Crews of Benmiller was summoned
by Inspector,Faieley, to appear before
Reeere McGarva and Steep, charged
tt,violation of the Crooke Aet. Af-
terpartiallyr hearing the case Mr Crews
asked an adjournment, claiming that
be could prove his innocence, but at
a late hour of the same night he went
to Mr Steep's residence and wanted
to plead guilty. Mr Steep refused to
accept it unless made in open court,
and the matter therefore came be-
fore them again on Saturday, when a
fine of $25 and costs was imposed,
this being $5 more than they had at
first intended to impose, owing to
the extra trouble all parties were put
to.
TIMELY W.►RN1No.—At the recent
q Methodist Conference, Rev G F Sal-
ton was appointed pastor of Brussels
Methodist church. Our readers re-
quire no introduction to Mr Salton,
tor he is well-known here, having
supplied Rattenbury street pulpit for
some time. As a matter of fact Mr
Salton was pretty popular here, and
it is hinted that hie popularity is
what brought him west. Unfortun-
ately, Brussels church has a heavy
debt, and Mr Salton has the name of
being a capital fellow to raise a debt.
This is given as one reason for his
appointment to that charge, and he
fi►aeranted full permission to can-
- bas for help anywhere in the district.
Our townspeople of the Methodist
persuasion may expect a visit from
Mr Salton one of theee fine days, for
3f he undertakes to wipe off that debt
"off she goes," and we want to give
them timely warning. So if he
conies into a place of business smil-
ing in his blandest manner, rest as-
sured it is not about the weather or
the Drops he is going to talk. As for
ourselves, we are "away from home"
from thio time henceforth, or at least
until after he melee his visit.

purpose holding a lawn social on the

Besides a large number of Orange-
men, a goodly congregation assem-
bled in Rattenbury street church, on
Sunday afternoon last, when a ser-
mon was preached by Rev J W Shil-
ton. The sermon was in the nature
of a memorial one, alluding to
events that occupy a prominent place
in history, and was evidently much
appreciated. After service the Or-
angemen marched in a body to their
rooms, when a vote of thanks was
passed to Mr Shilton, and the sum
of $7 was donated towards the widows
and orphans' fund of the chdreb.
While teachers, lawyers and busi-
ness men and others are away en-
joying themselves, editors are com-
pelled to remain at their post, and
lie awake at night trying to devise
ways of collecting outetanding ac-
counts. The devising is quite easy,

other :natter.

Barge, W Harland, R Coats and H
Shepherd. The Asylum Club is one
of the strongest in Canada, and sup-
plied two players for the International

be nothing to be ashamed of.

anliners,cannot allow this opportunity
to pass without expressing our un-
feigned regret at the long -continued
and severe illness of our respected, ef-
ficient and genial secretary, P. Adam-
son, Esq. Our sincere desire is that he
may yet through Divine Providence,
be raised' up to enjoy health and to sit.
at our council boards, that we may
reap as for the past twenty years the
benefits to be derived from the counsel
tlf one possessing such mature judg-
ment, clear insight and legal ability
in matters pertaining to the educa-
tional interests of the county. We
oleo desire to express our profound
sympathy for his amiable partner in
life in the trying circumstances in
which she is now placed, and pray
that the may be divinely sustained in
the heavy trial she is now undergoing
and that a copy of this resointion be
forwarded to ?lire Adamson.
