Tba ram-iins wvre bruiiyht to this stitiun on Monday and the inter- losiil took place at Maxwell cemetery. Maator Uuy Orr brought in a fairly gui.'d sized bird on Monday, having found it dead in the bush. It was a nice specimen of the bruwn eagle and measured 7 ft. 2^ inches from lip to tip. It bad not been dead long aad baa beaa placed in a taxidermist's hinds for laount- in;:. The spirit of destruction is Dtirriag our Incal niinrod.i these days.

Tlia Grey Review puts this conundrnro : "Why is Durham and vicinity not like heeven r' lea answer is, ''Because they neither marry or are given in Marriage there."

FiftRUB, Rector. Squire Stewart of Euphrasia dropped ill Monday sftern«on and had a social ehat. Mr. Stewart kssps himself well posted on municipal matters, althsugh he has not beea in the couacil for the past faar, and has aow his e;a apon the uounty couDcillorabip. Mraford, St. Vincent end Euphrasia are in a group, and there are numereat aspiintnts for the rspresentatireahip, including, wa believe, the proaent Reeve, Mr. T. Gil- ray, and Mr. C. B. Slug of Meaford. The townshipa should not allow tno many mea to b* biuaght into the field or they may come out minus a represent- ative. We believe Mr. Stewart would make » good representative and wish him suecess in the event af his becoming a candidate. All baehelors and prodigal sons know jiuti how difficult it is to sew on a button, and how many times the finx«rs are speared in blind attempts to touch the spot. This has all been obviated now. W.
