The steamer Hamilton arvived at Swift's wharf about 1.30 o'clock this afternoon. She was very late as her schedule time for reaching Kingston was Tuesday last. The cause of the delay was the accidént to the Canada Atlantic bridge at Cornwall, A large freighter collided with' the abutments tumbling the bridge into a total wrk, The railway company held the propeller for a $10,000 seizure. The steamer Hamilton was about three lengths behind the freighter at the time, but had slowed down at the ap- proach to the bridge, and thus escap- cd injury, ------ Rending The Garment. A unique custom among the ortho- dox Jews is responsible for the angu- lar slit in the lapel of the modern coat. The Jew, when death visits his household, takes a knife and, cutting the lapel, murmurs in Yiddish, "0 3od, 1 accept thy judgment." This custom, came down antiquity and known as "krea" (ronding the garm- ent), is associated with such solemn and religious obligations that a stern Hebrew father, as a punishment for a son or daughter who marries out of the faith, will rend his garment in token of the death of such a child. The act is emblematic 'of the profound. est grief. A Popular Appointment. The appointment of W.

Where the rich argosies that made The majesty and might of Spain ? Brilliant but brief As sickled sheaf, When Autumn frosts and Winter wind Leaves not one pompons leaf hehind.

Joseph Fawcett, when pastor of Ossipee, had many curious experiences with the "mountaineers," who are just now attracting attention. One of them was suddenly consumed of love, and' his impatience would not | wait proper preparation for a wed- ding, so he levied upon relktions for an outfit. From one he got a shirt, [' from another a coat, from a third ao pair of trousers, and so on, until his wardrobe was complete, if unique. A license procured, he and his soon-to- be-Mrs., whose wardrobe had been furnished in like manner, started for the parsonage. The knot being firmly tied, the bride and groom held a whis- pered : consultation, resulting in the turning over of her purse to the future master, who then asked Mr. Fawcett : "How muck do yer git for this job, elder : "The law allows me'$1," was the answer, Emptying the contents of the purse into bis hand, the generous groom Upon the lucky parson as he said : "Well. there's fifty dents to add to it ; that'll make ye $1.50, which is earning a lot o' money in a mighty short time," ------ At The Fruit Store, For Saturday we will have : 540 baskets Crawford peachos, 160 baskets Bartlett pears, 150 baskets blue and green grapes. 75 buskots plums and 3 And 1,000 melons, one of which we give free with every hasket of fruit. arnovsky, "On the Corner."
