No paper will be discontinued unless all arrears aro paid. Some people make a practice of allowing a month or so to elapse after their subscription has expired, and then send.notice to the publisher to discontinue their paper, but rarely, if ever, enclose with the ordei^ payment for the over time. Wo wish to be under stood in saying that we will not pay-any uttention to an. order for stopping a paper, until all arrears are paid. i Welland has been visited by one Martella Wando, or as some Call him, the man] with the iron jaw. His feats of strength were really marvellous, one of which was lift ing a coal oil;.(barrel filled with water to the chime with his teeth, and a man, weighing 150 pounds, sitting'on tliej end, and himself holding out a pail of water in each hand. fHe also took a .table by one corjner in his teeth and; raised it up to a level with his powerful jaws. This modern Samson isc of Welsh decent, and is only nineteen years :of age. A man's temper is most valuable to himself, and he should keep it. 'Industry is tho gift of tongues, and makes a nisn understood and valued in all countries and by all nations.
