WM. HENDERSON Coanty and District In the coiyae of a week or ho Clarks- burg will have its residence and business places lii;hted by electricity. The Ohesley sensation, which we copiad from a daily paper last week, appears to have been much orerdrawn. The coroner's jury decided that the girl Catharine Koch came to her death by iuflammation of the lungs brought on by exposure, and no blanie was attached to any one in the 6ndin:;. A report from Quebec tells of a fariuer in thu whiskey smu^'glint; buiiieas who had a tin can made in imitation of the fi>;uio of astout lady. This he 6lled and mufUed up with ahawU and carried in the Heat beside him in trips from the laland of Urleans to Quet>ec. An upset the other day revealed the fraud. (Dr.) Billy Falls has returned from his winter's snjourn as the cuest of the county at Owen Soui.d. As an old man, unable to work he bitterly deplored hav- iu'j to associate with hardened criminaU ill the county gaol. â€" Thornbury Stand- ard. A Nebraska man who had a car or two of horses to sell wrote a friend in Wash- ington, a«kiii){ whether it would be ad visable to try to sell tliein thert. The friend replied : â€" " The people of Wash- ing ride bicycles ; the street cars are run by electricity, and the government is run by JHck-aRses. No demand for horse- flesh. " â€" Exchange. David Cathcart ig one of the oldest Urnngemeti in Canda. Ha hss attained hia 01st year and has resided in St. Marys ^illcu 1842. At the age of oifjhteen Mr. Cat I. curt joined an Orange Lidt;e and has been a member in gnod sianding for the past seventy three years. Uu has few of the infirmities of old age and can read the sinallest print without spectacles. Alexander Jamiesun, a fellow townsman, is the same age as Mr. Cathcart and join- ed the Oiaiige body at the same tiiv.e. A Sunday school teacher was telling the class about the devil ijoing around like a roaring lion seeking whom he might devour. "How fast can the devil run ? " asked one of tlm pupils. "Huijh, •lohiinie." aaid the teacher, such questions are veiy profane," "Well, I don't care," replied .lohniiie, "he can't outrun pa, anyhow, because I heard pa tell a man on the street the other day that he eH:ii<lit the devil the night he came home from the lodge." Ridgoway will have a bicycle electric railway. The Ilridgeburg Ueview de- Hcribcs it oa follows : Polls 5x5 are pl.'iccd deep in tho ground u;uch tho samo JUS fence ]Ki.stH. The posts aro 6 feet from centre to centre, and on these aro placed ,-k timber, which is tho bed for a single rail on which the cars run. Uenco the name "bicycle track." The roiul in nb- Kolutely luifu ; tho inventor claims that it is Kifer that a tnilley or a Ktuaiii road. No trolley or overhead wires are used. I'^ich car is independent nnd run by a Kluiago buttery. Stiturday being a holiday from school, IViey Bieckoii and Mack Doddii, agt d respeitively 12 and 13 yoais, got npeaily in the inoining detormind to have a good day's fun. They burrowed a trap and set It in Mrs. Ureckon's bush, i.i tho sand baiik. They viviled the trap in two hours time and tu their delight found a fox ill the trap. On looking around they found two young foxes about as largo an la'H and secured both and put tlioin with the old fox in a large cii;:;o lilted up for t e purpiite. Thu boys Ret the trap again and about ei'^ht o''.;lock an un- earthly Niiund was hoard in that direction.

The people had turned out in such force to welcome him that ihe station yaid was completely packed with a ni.tss of humanity. The Dr. was escorted to a carriage in waiting, and headed by Flesh- erlon band and an immense torchlight procession a start was made for up town. Rousing cheers greeted the Dr. on every band, and the procession was the rinest ever seen in Maikdalo. When the Maish house was reached Dr. Sproule mounted to the balcony and gave a short speech to the large crowd, after whieh by personal invitation the members of the Fleshorton band and torchbearers adjourned t<i the Dr's spacious residence, where lunch was served. It was a happy home coming, and everybody, irrespective of politics, vied in doiiit; honor to the now ex member but shortly to-be again member for E^st and Centre Grey. The whole nlfair was nerfecily spontaneous, the people of Mtrkdalenot even know- ing that the Flesherton band was to tike puit in the welcome until it arrived there. The Markdale b.md is just at present in an unfortunate position, being wiiliont a leader, ami was consequently Miiabli! tu taku part in the OTation. At Duiidalk the tiain waited twenty minutes, when a hearty reception was uiveii the Dr., who made a short spceck, nnd the Dnndalk band rendered three or ftmr p eces in spendid stylo.
