Again this week we have been without mail from Monday noon until Wedneaeay morning. This thing isgcttin<4 monotonous hut there is redress. Mr. Jerry Thimipson of near Eugi^nia h.ia purchased Mr. Edward LeGard's farm just east of the village on the Col- lingivood gravel. Mr LeGard purposes removina to the Northwest this spring. Ho will hold a aide as announced else- where in this issue. The shorthorn cattle sale at Markdale next Wednesday, 24th, will doubtless at- tract our local stock breeders. If they are not fortunate enough to buy they will at lenst get some pointers on good breed- ing. Mr. Mercer's 200 acre farm will also be auctioriiid off ;it the s.ilo. As the time is nearly over for selling f(.iotwear, ond in ordur to make ro(mi for spring goods, Clayton's ai-o offering tlie remainder of their stock of heavy, rubbers, overshoes, Ladies' felt boots, Lidies felt slippers and all. kinds of winter wear at a big rebuction in -piices. This is a genuine redu'tion. I«o sham. Call and get big bnrg:\ins. We aro requested to mention the fact that in the last year's report of Flesherton brunch of the Bible Society an omission which has just come to lit,ht was made ni mentioning the collections. The names of Misses McKee and Speers,witli the amount of §4.50 credited to them, should have appeared in the report. The tliermometor touched 21 below zero on Tuead.iy morning. It has only registered two degrees more at any time this winter. On one occasion it got as low as 23 here and another time 22. From zpro to ton below has been a common thing. Last week was a week of sunsln-ie but cold. Sunday and Monday gave us one of the worst storms of the season, with piercing cold and high wind. \V<3 are certainly deserving of commiseration this winter. A slrange coincidence occurred at the farm of Mr. Erskine ^of Euphrasia one day last weok when that gentleman lost a span of hor.ses under pi-ouliar circumstan- ces. The animals were a pair he had raised and cured for all their lives, and both were 22 years of ago. On this oc- casion while driving from Mr. Erskine's house to the road./ir.d net through deep snow, one horse fell over to the right and the other to the left and both immediate- ly expired. Both together united through life, and in death not separated. It was a str.inge incident, to say the least. Game Warden John Weber has laid scleral informations with Magistrate Van- Du.scn for the killing of deer out of sea- .son. Two or three Kiinbcrley young men aro interested in one case and several young men of the third line, Euphrasia, in another. The Kimberley boys say the deer in their case was out of its usual haunt, and while driving along the road dogs took after it. The animal ran into several wire fences,the ix^;%s cauiiht it and killed it. Under the circumstances ap- peal was made to a local magistrate who advised them to bring it home. This they did and gave the whole carcas away as charity. This is the story for the defense. The other case is idlcged to be one of del beiate deer hunting out of season. The cases, which aro atttaotiug consider- able interest, will be tried before A. S. ViuiDusen, J. P., on Kridiiy next. Warden Weber thinks what few deer we have left should be i)rotocted, and as persistent rumors of illegal hunting in the eastern part of Euphrasia have been floating around for several years he is determine.! to see if something cannot be dene to put a stop to it and save the little remainder of our noble game for legitimate sport. Do Poxes Reason ? Foxes certainly do reason, but, like human beings, their deductions are not always correct. For instance, they know well enough that there is immunity from pursBit on the Sabbath day, and con- SBijuently they allow themaolvcs more freedom of action on that day for the sc»n:h after food. Ueynard is frequfntly seen on Sunday scouring the fields after mice, birds, or anythinf{ that may fall in his Way. On oniumry week days m)»m gunsare apt to t>o acound Renyard does Dot exhibit, himself. One of the** MaaunitiK foxea â€" a big falhiwâ€" Tialted a ^%tpa.j%ti not tkr^a milw fcoiQ. ^wi oa^. Sunday Ia8t,of course thinking that a run by a dog would be the limited penalty if he were seen. The farmer saw him, however, and about the same time it appeared to enter Sir Renyard'shead that he had made a mistake and had entered the premises of a sport, who had a sworn enmity against foxes,.Sunday or any other day, and whose couscienoe would allow him to aneiik up behind a woodpile and shoot, regardless of tl)e day. When this idea took possession of the fox ho proceed- ed to make a swift trail for Deacon Dodriok's henroost, whore observance of the Sabbath day was more strict. As he mounted a seven-rail fence on the safe side of a ten-acre Held an explosion came from the Wfiodpile but the charge fell short. , Had the farmer not fallen over the stove in his mad haste to get outside with his. gun that fox's reasoning powers would have led him into a moss. It WHS a narrow escape. After this event the farmer was in no fit mood to enjoy his Sabbath rest. His mind was a turmoil and the stove, no matter what heat it radiated, could not pacify him. - » ><» > 4 <- For Sale â€" t)ne pair light bobsleighs, cheap. W, Barnhoiise.
