Then he appears | ing, that an officer from the Bur- |p, Copeland a8 the well groomed. habitue 'of Broadway's gilded palaces.

Greenfield was sentenced on Aug- ust 1st, 1923, to a term of three years, in the penitentiary, having been found guilty of the charge of escaping and breaking prison, with intent.

Three stages from outside point to Kingston, were unable to reach their destinations on Thursday night, due to huge snow drifts, into which they plunged, and were un- able to ga: through. The drivers re- port that in places the snow had drifted to the height of five feet, while in other localities there was barely any snow, The driver of the Sydenham stage reported that on the way in on Thursday morning, he had no dif- ficulty but on the return journey he had as different tale to tell. The huge stage rising on the hard orust of a snow drift was supported for a while, but breaking through was unable to proceed on its way. The driver back- ed his bus out and réturned to the city, after making arrangements for the mail to reach Sydenham. Much 'the same experience was told by the other two' stage drivers, who could not make their destinations. The Odessa, Perth Road, and Seeley's Bay drivers will continue to use trucks. The Bath stage was unable to reach Kingston on Thursday, and #t is though that the driver will re. sort to horses. Late Mrs. Thomas Sweetman. Mrs. Thomas Sweetman, formerly Mary Jane Collins, dled at the Gen- eral Hospital on Thursday night af- ter a long illness, Deceased was well known in the city and had many friends who learned with deep regret of her passing.

Post- master Stewart informs The Whig that this is against all post office regulations, and the letters were im- mediately forwarded to the dead let- ter office. Many of these letters are for charitable purposes, but occa- sionally they are of a personal nature and solicit money. : Family Needs Help.
