• STOLE THE JIGGER. -7- The Grand
!'"`Trunk jigger, used by Jacob Sloman
in.passing to and from the diamond,
wkstolen one night last week. A
.couple of tramps were seen hanging
Rtiont during the day, and it is sup-
, posed that they found out where it
was keppt acid determined to rake use
of`it. Vhen not in use the jigger was
keptin a place built for it beneath the
"freight platform. This had been brok-
en_open. The agent at Kippen heard

A
TOUGH LUT. -A lot of foreigners
pressed tht ough town this week, having
Wth'them two rigs, several bears and
.t,a`eougle of monkeys; they would give
!,...exhibitions and take up a collection.
They were a tough looking lot, their
;conversation was vile and they were
grossly insulting They were ordered
Plitrof town by Constable Wheatley.—
hile u•couple of ladies were out driv-
ingi their horse got frightened at the
• bears, and nearly upset them in the
,.,road, and it was necessary to let down
r afence and drive through a field be-
lore they could get past. If it were
.,possible to keep such people out of the
cowttry all the time, it would be all
tl better.

PROPOSED JOINT EXHIBITION. --The
directors of the Tuckersmith Agricul-
tural Society have decided not to hold
a fall show this year and the directors
of the Huron Central have proposed
to unite their forces and hold a joint
fair here. Nothing definite has yet
been decided upon, but it is probable a
Onion meeting of the directors of both
societies will be held to complete ar-
i augetnents.
PROSPECTIVE REMOVAL. — Thomas
Rumball, the efficient freight clerk at
the G. T R. station is; we understand,
slated for promotion at an early day,
which will necessitate his removal from
town. Tom has been with the railroad
for over eight years,
and ha
gtven
gen-
eral satisfaction, i.o both the public and
the R. R. Company. His Iernuval will
make a vacancy in the S. A, Band, and
a wide circle of friends wish hint pros-
perity wherever he may go.
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. — During
-Wednesday night's storm, lightning
st ruck a chimney on the house of ,T, W.
Irwin, and sent the pricks Hying in
every direction. Mrs It win was sleep-
ing in the room through which t he!chun-
ueypassed, and when the bricks fell in
the room, she naturally was very much
alarmed. The paper on the chimney
was stripped clean off, but no particu-
lar• damage done. A large tree on the
farm of Mr Ferran, below the railroad,
was also struck and slivered to pieces.
IMPROVEMENTS.—Bowers Bros. are
making a good job in painting the
house of Mrs Andrews. Dr Shaw has
improved his property by removing
his fence. John Ledford and a McRae
are laying down new sidewalks. Mr
Searle has built a conservatory; Miss
Bay is improving her property, and
the house of Mrs Townsend, Queen St.,
is undergoing change. Several fences
have been removed, and more ought
to be. Several of the streets have been
graded by the machine, that to the
freight shed being particularly well
done; Jt.e Wheatley knows how to
handle the grader, ar d deserves com-
mendation foe his work; the Organ
Factory Streetwas graded yesterday.
If the Uouncil and citizens could but
work together we would nave an or-
derly town; see how well it worked on
the 23rd of May, when the business
men lent a hand to clean up.', " If the
Council had bad the trees pruned up
years ago by one person—say by Mr
Searle—one system would have been
,universal; as it is now, the few who
do any pruning do so on different, plans,
some send the tops to the skins, others
do tho opposite and cut the tops off,
and keep the electric light off the side-
walk; hence we have poor lawns and
boulevards, and badly lighted streets;
the Council should take into considera-
tion some plan of keeping the boule-
vards in order

Thomas journal of Wednesday, refers as
follows to the death of J. R. Smillie, father

years connected with the customs service
here and was a deservedly popular official.

THE USES OF
eatherbone
emonstrated
You may ask what is Featherbone? Featllerbonejjis
made from turkeys' quills, and is admittedly the ideal
thing for boning waists and stiffening collars, reveres,
etc. It won't break, it won't curl up, it won't rust
and is far ahead of steels and canvas for stiffening'
purposes. A waist boned, a revere or collar stiffened
with Featherbone never does and never can lose its
shape, and it is used to -day by the leading modistes
in the chief cities of the U. S.
Featherbone in a crude form has been on the Cana-
dian market for some time, but now the improved
article, that which has become so popular on the
other side, is being introduced here.
whioh may be bought for a few Dente, becomes worth
when made into hair springs for watches. The sa
is there, but the quality makes the value. 0l11•amooke,
