Say, why is it that a community always delights ic scandal I Why, the woman in her simple white uniform is a credit ; her sex, but behind the noble pro'ession she adopted lies a broken heart wrapped in a life's tragedy. Even so, every dark cloud has its silver lining, and may joy and good luck attend her in her futme career. Walkerton Roy Van llorre has laid an informa- tion against two farmev boys residing east of Walkerton, charging '.hem with the theft of seven of hi* minlc (nipt*. A search warrant was sworn out and Chief Ferguson weut to the boys' hoine on Friday and discovered the missing traps. Of the five cases on the docket at the ! iifi-al session, which are beinn held he- fore Judge Barrett here this week, that of McArlhur vs. McArthur has been settled. This wa an action brought by Mrs. Duncan McArthur of Lovat, against her neighbor and nephew, John Mc- Arthur, who she alleges, assaulted her on the highway near her hoiae ou Oct. 8th, aud for which she asked $500.00 dam- ages. The case was settled here out of court by the accused paying her $273 damsges and signing papers not to mo- lest her again. Not since the pardoned thief weut to Paradise has a robber been living in greater bliss than the culprit who broke in^o the heu-roost of Mrs. Thos. Coats of Bract and annexed one hundred and twenty-five of her spring chickens. For a one-night haul and a successful get-a- way this probably takes the caku even in in these days of big tilings. Chicken dinners aud foul suppers on such a scale, especially in this period of bard times and tight money, is enough to tempt the honesty of the travelling public who drive by and smell the broth, aud who have themselves probably dined on nothing healthier than fried crumbs and liver. The party who "lifted" her chicken 8 wanted also to sample her turkeys, as two young gobblers mysteriously dis. appeared a night or two later, and the fact that one cf them has since come back lends her to believe that the thief doesn't live over a thousand miles away.- Her- ald and Times. time and K'Ui 9?lil 1C Win. Dwinnoll, of the Penetang Koad, two miles f'om D'lston, was convicted of Stealing turkeys from I, is!mrn Currie of Oro.

A Big Cheque The Provincial Treasury is something r two million dollars richer to-day than it was at the beuiuniut; of last week. The cheering difference is due. to the receipt by Hon. I. B.
