John Waters, aStratford blacksmith, tried to commit suicide early last Wednesday 'morning by hacking at his throat with a rusty knife- For the last few weeks he has been acting queerly, and for the past few days has been watched by two men.

He was disarmed and taken to gaol. Officers of Malloch Chapter, R. A. M.

O. L. No. 710 held its annual At Home at the lodge room Tuesday even- ing. The attendance was good though the very unfavorable weather had the effect of keeping away a number who had expressed their attention of being present. Several inembers of the Sea- fbrth and McKillop lodges braved the elements and drove through the blind- ing snow storm to spend the 'evening with the brethern of 710, their wives, sisters and sweethearts. An entertaining programme was furnish- ed consisting of addresses, recitations and music. Among those who spoke were W. G. Welsh ,and W. Trott, Sea - forth, P. Cantelon, A. M. Todd, W. G. Smith and D. Cantelon. Mr. Smith's address was an eloquent one as with a blending of to glc, wit and. humor he spoke ' of the Order as cultivating fraternity and fostering good ciitizen- The Dairymen's Convention A Success. Last Friday the dairymen of West- ern Ontario closed the most successful convention that has been held in many years. Although not distinguished by the presence of any of the Ministers of the Crown, the sessions were interest- ing ones and showed in a practical manner how the butter and cheese makers of Ontario are seeking after new ideas and trying in every way to- improve oimprove the standard of their product' Prof. Robertson again emphasized the necessity of sending anly the highest (plelity of goods to England, where a good price could be procured for a first- class article. Mr. Jas. Connolly, the popular Reeve of Goderich township, was elected 3rd vice-president of the Association. The Warden of Perth Held Up. When William Low, a . Stratford milkman living about two and one- half miles from the city, was return- ing home Sunday night he was stopp- ed about half a mile froin his house by three men, and a the point of a re- volver commanded to hand over his cash. Before he had time to do so the sound of an approaching rig scared the rnen and they ordered him io move on. They then stepped back under cover of some trees, and when the rig came up they stopped it, and commanded • the driver, Mr. Nelson Monteith, war- den -of the county, to hand •dyer his money. He gave them thirty-five cents, and telling them it was all he had, drove off. The work semis to have been that of amateurs, as they did not Search Mr. Monteith, and thus missed quite ari amount in bills which he did not give them. Angel- Ushers Increase the'Collections. The latest fad in city churches is Angle -ushers. One Reverend already has them. They are charming. They glide around with the plates and stare that man out of countenance who pre- sents them with petty coins. They have killed the waistcoat button. That, no longer finds its way religiously into the church coffers. The most stalwart become weak and flurried into great offerings when the plate is presented by a dear little gloved hand, and eyes brighter than diamonds are cast upon manly, bearded faces. Even pater- familias grows flushed and flnrried as he fumbles in his vest-pocket for a larger coin than the one he laid there for church offering in the morning. And materfamilias does not like it. She is not to be wheedled out of quart- ers by saucy young things in bewitch- ing fur toques and dainty sables. ship.

Constable Johrt McRicbie, of Ripley, was in town Saturday afternoon hav- ing in custody a Home boy, who some- times goes under the name of Armi- tage but has many another alias whom he had arrested at Berlin and was taking back to Bruce for trial. The charge against the boy was burg- lary and horse stealing. On Saturday, December 18th last, he is said to have burglarised a store at Locklash, in company with a companion who also has the habit of changing his natite with his place of residence. After emptying the till, this precious 'pair stole a horse, harness and cutter from R, McCharles, of the same place, and levanted. They were traced to Ber- lin where Armitage was arrested, but his mate is still at. large. When searched a. knife was found on his parson With it; blade broken which: Will be incriminating evidence, as the the bur lar a. blade morning after tl burglary , gg in. the store which fitted was inked up p pe- to the. break. exactly, Constable 1M Ritchie came tip by the one. m; train and having to wait here until the rBe80 L. R., & B. express,he had his prison- er put behind the lock-up bars for the afternoon. There will be no change in the pro- prietorship of the Commercial, Hotel vet awhile though reports have been busy to that effect. Mr. Shrank states that he has no immediate inten- tion of renting the hostelry but proposes instead to make several more improvements in and about the house. In the three months that have elapsed since he took posses- sion he has certainly made a decided alteration for the better and when he gets through with the carpenters, masons and painters the old Commer- cial will scarcely be recognizable. Meeting of Iluron County Council. The January Session of the County Council opened at 8.80 p. m. on Tuesday, with the members all present. At the usual time County Clerk Lane called for • nominations for Warden, when Coun- cillorsDr. Rollins and Cook were nomin- ated. The last mentioned withdrew his name and proposed Geo. McEwen. Atter the usual lime had elapsed the ballot was taken, the scrutineers being the County Clerk and the County Treasurer. Mr. McEwen was de- clared elected by a vote of 9 to 7. The Warden elect was sworn in by His Honor Judge Masson after which he assumed the chair and thanked the members for his election. The minutes of last meeting were read and confirmed. The next order of business was the election pf striking commitee, for which two ballots were necessary. On the first Messrs. Cook,, Holt, and Miller obtained 8 votes each and Messrs. Hays, Robt. McLean and Torrance 7 each. The first three having been de- clared elected, on the second ballot Messrs. Torrance 11 votes and McLean 9 votes, were also duly chosen.

There will be an entire change of programme each evening. This Cinernatographe is the first, original, and only Lumiere's French invention which appeared here last winter and gave such good satis- faction. This year Manager Hill has received the services of; an array off talented artists who give a refined concert programme each evening pre- ceding the views. Miss Bessie Gilbert the world's greatest lady cornet vir- tuoso, who has been with Sousa and Gilmore Bands; is with this Company.
