Four well known young men of Holland Centre, faced the magiatrate on chargea of a more or lens serious nature, but were allowed to settle by paying the costs, amounting in all to 937.66. Two of them were cluirged with highway robbery and the others with "mischief," It appears that on Friday evening, November 26th, Mr. William Freebum, of Holland Centre, was driving home from Owen Sound. When near the village he fitoji- jiod to conTerse with a neighbor, when a gang of jroung men swooped down on him, unhitched his horses, took the har- woss.to pieces, scattered it over the road and ujjset the rig. Freeburn.'reraonstrat- ad,, but at last gave up and proceeded to walk home. After he liad gone, the boys hitched up again and drove after him. Tbey caught up to him, and after install- ing him in the rig again, proceeded to "hold up" their victim. They procured several things from his pocket, including eleven centa in money. After fooling with him they returned his belongings and shook hands with him, Freebum a- greeing to take it all as a good joke. But evidently after thinking it over, he did not seeit that way, and remembering the faces of four of the fun-makers, he laid information against thoiii. They pleaded not guilty, although they admitt- ed they were "out for a time." After the hearing of Freebum's evidence, a conference took place Ijetwcv • cho soli- citora, and it was agreed that the charge be withdrawn on the boys paying the costs. Hamlcd a Lemon A ^oung gentleoMQ in town on the occasion of his birthday, recently, re- received a parcel through the poatoffice, which, upon inveatigktion, was found to contain a lemon. Accompanying the lemon were the following original verses: Prologue â€" Hark! what the future brings ual Voices from afar. Tell ua there's something coming. Is it peace or war! Hello! dear, this parcel I fear Wont reach you ere it is too late, I ne'er wish to offend a foe nor a friend But I'll have to, as sure as fate. Now when I remember the fourth of November In the year nineteen hundred and nuie Is your twentieth birthday, and therefore a niirthday I send you this gift. Don't decline. When temptations ensnare you, and enemies scars you This lemon, just take and apply it. You will find, I am sure, an immediate cure; So take my advice and just try it! Epilogue â€" Ah, woe is me! I'll write no more A song nor yet a sonnet â€" But when you read this, if you're Just rub some lemon on it! [sore THERE IS BUT ONE^ Every farmer should know that the price offered by the dealers for cattle, hogs, etc., is a fair one. How can he know thid if he does not take a farm biisiocss paper? What doctor or law- yer or busineas man would be without his hujiuess paper? There is but one farmers' business and market paper, that is riie Weekly Suu. Start 1910 right by jubocrlbing. Because he had a row with his wife and decided thai he could not live peaceably at home, a well-known and rei>pectablo farmer, owner of one of the best farms in Oxford county, has gone to the House of Refuge at Woodstock, where ho proposes to spend the winter as an inmate. The man ownij n hundred aud 6fty acre farm, well stocked and with good buildings on it, and the properly is reco;!nized as one of tho most valuable in the district. He has been living with his second wife and a family of grown-up sons. Ha is seven- ty three years of ago, and a raembar of one of the best known families in the district. Beconiini; discontented at home, he applied to the Reeve of the township for the necessary order of admittance, and, with this order, applied to tiansger Murray and was admitted, no other course being open to the refuge authorities. He Uft his wife undsons in charye of^the farm. He appears to be contented with his surroundings. He is given exactly the same privileges and acconimod.ition ai the other inmates In the list of Canadian patents issued lately, we notice that A. Drawley of Priceville has been granted a patent for a now design of a snow plow to be used on railways. The invention was planned by the patentee and Donald McLean, of the south line, Artemesia, and the editor of this paper was shown the blue prints of the machine ionic months ago. The whole invention was etpliiinod to us by Mr. McLean, and from what wo could judge seemed to be ahead of the ordinary plow n.iw in use. We oontfratulate the younjj men on their successâ€" Shelbunie Free Press, John Rolston of Amaranth had his big too and part of his foot blown off recently as the result of a shooting accident. He, alonR with eight other young men, were out hunting foxes. When evening came they went in for tea and while sitting around one young man was seeing which gun had the strongest lock and picked up a gun which was thought to be unloaded. But there was a charge in one barrel and it went off', with the above result. Tne affair might have, proved more serious had the gun been raised a little higherâ€" Shelburne Free Press. John A. Best, ex-Reove of Mulmu r Township and a well known farmer, was decided on by the Conservatives of Duf- f erin as candidate to succeed the late Dr. Dari-, There were 21 names before the gathering, and it was on the thirteenth ballot, after four hours votinfr, that Mr, Best was given the choice. His nomina- tion was then made unanimous. A sed and painful accident occurred at the homo of James Clark, Peepabun, last Thursday by which his little sot', Elgin, lost the fingers on the left hand. During a moment's absence of his father from a straw-cutter driven by a wind mill, the little fellow ventured to lift the covering of the gearing and by some moans became entani;led. All the fingers were taken off up to the palm, except a very small part of the index finger.â€"Grand Valley Star, Aoooriing to "The Enterprise two yonng CollinBwooii men wore treed by a pack of wolves up near Sellwood and were kept in the upper branches of the tall timbers all night. In the morning the pack de- parted. The young men tobogganed to the ground and made for Sudbury, where they arrived all right but sleopy, Oeo, Tapping of Grand Valley was ar- rented for stealing an overcoat. He is out on $200 bail awaiting trial. By a clever piece of detective work the identity of the fair poetess was discover- ed, and the young lady received ^the fol- lowing reply: Owed to Now dear, I sadly fear My anger high is r,ii8ed. Your awful verse grows worse and worse As though thy pen were crazed! Now look you here, O dear. You sure should quit your rhyme; For friend or foe would surely know Your verse is out of time. You cannot joke with me at will Unless my ire you'd raise; 8o drop thy pen and leave it till Thy older wiser days. At such a slam my spirits qualm And also sink like lead. So now at what thy pen has said I stormily revile. I strtiin a strangely aching head To jjoetize a while. I'd sure get back at what you've said In verse of quality the best â€" • But hang it all the words wont rhyme; The things mix up and slant And fall But wont get rjgijt in ij^o! So pardon this, my awful verse. I'm sure you willâ€" for yours is worse. And then we'll put our heads together And poetry will spring like flowers In brightest sumn<er weather â€" iJ'rom thtise wise intellects of ours. Mistaken Indentity. A yout.g lady a couple of weeks ago, standing in front of the station in one of our prominent towns, waiting for the incoming train, chanced to meet an old school boy who was waiting for the same Irain, and declaring he was tired of wait- ins around asked her to take a walk. He took the parasol from her hand and fastened it to the suit case beside her, and put them both in the waiting room. When they ruturned from their walk the train was nearly in. Alas! the suitcase was ifono but the umbrella was left. Kxcicenient reigned, the while they both rushed over the depot in siiarch of the missiiiK suitcase. A lady standing near described the gentleman who took it. The train drew nearer Viut the thief could not be found. The train was in nnd the conductor -fihouting his last "All aboard," when the (rentleinan inquired : Well Nora, did you have anything important in it. Sheâ€" "In it ? Why it was not mine ; w hen you put it inside I thought it yours." Heâ€" "Well, it was not mine, but • hen you were standing beside it I thought it yours." They boarded thf. train and iho gentleman got safely away with his suitcase. â€" A Reader. An Oianseville despatch of Dec. Ist lays: William Coak, S'm of John R. Cook, Caledon township, met with a very serious accident yesterday afternoon while clearing up a rocky Held on his father's farm, about two miles from here. He had placed a lilaitiiig charge in a rook and was packing it in when there was a premature explosion. The rod was thrown fifty yards, and the hammer hurled twice that distance. Cook had his head turned aside and escaped the flying missies. A portion of the powder, however, stiuck him in the face, inflicting some nasty lacerations and injuring the sight. It WHS first thought his eyes were destroyed, but Dr. T. H. Henry states that Cook can distinguish dayhght, aud permanent injuries aire not anticipated. Walkerton evidently has some champion sleepy heads. A young lady of that town fell asleep in church and was locked in tfter service. She attempted to crawl through a window, when her dress caught and sho was hung up like a dressed lamb. Her screams br-jught assistance. It would be safe guessing that that particular young lady will keep her eyes open and follow the sermon hereafter. Two children of Richard Day of Da- mascus played with matches and set the bed clothes on fire. Neighbors came in and extiaguished the blaze. Christmas Stock.
