On Tuesday evening a farmer paid us a dollar in two halves, one of which we suspected at a glance to be bogus and returned to him ; but upon his saying that: he had no other money, and that he had got it from a villager of established reputation for honesty, we accepted, and next morning took it to the villager mentioned. As we expect- ed, he said he had accepted and paid it away without noticing its peculiar ap- pearance, and promptly handed us two good quarters; whereupon we put a stop to the bogus coio’s career of decep- tion by laying it upon a weight and giving it a couple of taps with another. which caused it to curl up and crack in a manner that showed the. utter base- ness cfits nature. As a person to whom we showed it remarked. ,it was probably “ Murphy ” moneyâ€"meaning that it was made by the family of that name who got their deserts at the last Lind- say assizcs, and it behooves all our read. are to “ watch out " for similar coins, a great many of which of various denomi- nations are no doubt in simulation. No one. we suppose, need be told that it is a serious crime to coin and pass spurious money; but We are afraid that a very great many persons are regardless, if not Unaware. of the fact that it is a punishable offence to knowingly pass bad money upon others, even though they may themselves have carelessly or ignorantly accepted it as good. The- natural impulse of a man of lax moral- ity who finds himself in possession ofa bogus coin is to pass it off upon some- body else; but a downright honest man would no more do so than he would pick another person’s pocket because his own had been picked Leaving consid- eration of law and morality aside, it is an inhuman offence to suffer a bogus coin to remain in circulation, as it is not. at all unlikely to pass from one cun- ning hand to another until its basencss is detected after it becomes the property of some p worry-stricken man or woman who can ill afford to bear the loss. and who may possihlv be suspected of’know ing that it is bad. Cheap iiiiii Last Saturday morning Mr. Harry Austin, our longest established butcher, rejoiced the hearts ofhis customers and the public generally by announcing in print. that henceforthâ€"for Some time if not foreverâ€"he would sell fresh. meats of various kinds at about two cents a pound less than the prices hitherto charged; and later in the same day Messrs. Ouelette 8r. Sovn, who com- menced butchering at the Falls about eighteen months ago. issued a proclamaâ€" tion to the effect that they would sell first-class meat as cheap as anybody in town. The general satisfaction caused by this unexpected drop in prices was dampened at night. when it became known that Mr. Austin and Messrs. O. 8'. S. had been seen having a confab in the latter‘s shop, as it was feared that they were forming an alliance offensive and defensive against the gen- eral public. and that the prices of meats might change their minds and decide to rise again. But the fear thus engen- dered proved to be groundless, for on Monday morning Mr. Austin’s figures â€"which are the kind that "cannot lie” â€"werc still at zero, where they have since remained, and where, he assures us, they will have to stay, at any rate until warm Weather sets in. Mr. Austin says that his reduction of prions was not aimed at his legitimate rivals, of whom he speaks very kindly. but in the hope of putting a I-top to the peddling of meat through the village and of its sale in the grocery stores. both of which 6. charged nearly the same price: the year round for meat at. retail, and. as there is mighty little sentiment about buying and selling. it was only natural that at the approach of winter a considerable percentage of their customers should desert them for the groceries, where the prices have been about 20 per cent. lower. Whether it is more profitable to sell a small quantity of meat at. a high price or a large quantity at a low price is a question that Mr. Austin and Messrs. Oulctte «S; Suva will be able. to answer three or four months from now. The New Church. The new Presbyterian church in Fenclon Falls. the interior of which is now being painted, and which will be dedicated to Divine. Service on Sunday. ~ Nov. 10th, isadecided ornament to the main street of the village and a credit to all concerned in its erection. How long it is since a feeling of dissatisfac. tion with the old wooden church on Francis street first arose- we do not know. but it gradually grew and gained strength until it resulted in action, and in May last the contract for the build- ing now nearly finished was awarded to Mr. Alexander McLeod, who set to work at the earliest. possible moment thereafter; and the cornerstone was laid. with imposing ceremonies on the 19th of June. The new church. which may be said to be of a modified Gothic order of architehture. is 36 x 50 feet, with an addition 12x 16‘ feet to accommodate the pulpit and choir. The stone walls of the basement, which is the same size as the main part of the church, and is ten feet? to the ceilingâ€"are two feet thick, and the white brick walls of tho superstructure are nine inches thick. with a sufficient number of buttresses to give solidity and sustain the weight of juying a wepk's ,. the roof, which is so steep that the height to the centre of the ceiling inside is 235- fcct. There are three double windows at each side and one double and two single windows in the front of the church, and a single window at each side of the chancel, all of them fitted with lead lights of different patterns and tints of cathedral glass. The cops, keystones, window sills and Hotels are of Credit Valley stone. The tower at the lowar front corner, which is 60 foot high from the ground. contains the main entrances to church and basement. and will be furnished with an 800* pound bell. three fleet in diameter. which has been ordered The church has a sloping floor, and will contain 45 pews, which will be cushioned, and wil great about 400 people. A lurnace made by Buck. of Brantford, has been put in by Mr. Joseph Heard, who also did' all the“ other work in his line. The ventilating arrangements are perfect. both in effhct- ivencss and ease of operaticm. Messrs. Seott dz Riley of Toronto did the brick and stone work. and Mr. R. Charles of Toronto the plastering. The carpenter work was done by Mr. McLeod and local men with the exception of one. 7 M essrs. Avery St Chambers are doing the painting. all but the roof. which is sur- mounted with nn ornamental metal creating, running the whole length, and is shingled in part with fancy shingles. It was painted by Mr. S. Nevison. The principal doors of the church are titted with t'chrsiblc hinges, so- that they open both outwards and inwards. Ilcctric light will shortly be put in. The structure is a very handsome one, both internally and externally. It ' will be finished at the contract price, $3.650, with no extras worth mcu~ tioniug. A Snow Plough. There is in course of construction in Mr. David Chambers's blacksmith shop, and nearly finished, a rather novel~looking snow-plough, to be oper- ated this wintcron the roads over which logs are drawn in Howry (it Sens’ limits near Goodorham. It consists of a front and a bind " bob." each about 5 feet long and 5 feet wide, and connected by two three-inch pine planks 18 inches wide and 18 feet long set on edge on the bobs. To the outside ofthc planks, near the centre, is attached, one on each side, a pair of iron mould-boards, with 18inch cutting surfaces or blades on the lower edge, sloping from front to rear, and capable of being raised and lowered by means of screws so as to simply clean the road or to cut grooves in it from one-quarter of an inch to 3 inches deep and about 6 feet apart at their outside edges, these grooves to contain water sprinkled from a tank for the purpose of making a hard, icy track. A V-shaped “comb” fastened to the. front bob keeps the centre of the track clear, and at the rear of the machine are two laterally movable “ wings,” for the purpme of clearing away the snow lot the. sides of the road to allow the practices matertnily affect his business‘ bunks of the slcinhs free assanewa ‘. n '1 ". weighs nearly a ton.
