Those who make a hero of“Billy" Ponton are showing very bad taste, especially as he has not yet been acquitted of complicity in the Napanee bank robbery. He was used for money making purposes at a hockey match at Kingston a few days ago, and was the greatest attraction on the ice. We shall soon be as bad as the Yankees.

A \VARNING To FARMERSâ€"Mr. Alexander Ellis ut' Vcrulam has had bad luck, having recently lost two valu- able horses. One of them died on the road to the Falls after slipping and fall- ing three times, and the other, a more worth $100, bled to death in his barn- yard‘in consequence of stepping upon one end of a piece of board, the Other end of which flew up and penetrated her bowels. These casualties ought to be a warning to farmers to keep their horses sharp-shod and their premises tree from anything likely to injure the live stock. CuuLEtts’ CONCERTâ€"There was a large and appreciative audience at the curlers‘ concert on Munday evening last. The actors in “ the Modern Cinderella" and “ Dandelion's Dodges" acquitted themselvos very oreditably, and the “ make-ups" were good. The singing of Mics Fannie Brandon and Miss Benin McDougall was well received, and Mr. Charles Podger’s comic songs and Messrs. I’odgcr and Cullen's instru- mental ducts were loudly applauded, although Mr. Podger was suii'ering from a severe cold. The proceeds amounted to about $50. PERSONALSâ€"Mr. John Holtorf, who left for Edmonton, N. W. T., about ten menths ago. returned last week. He says that Edmonton is a nice, lively, pleasant place. with the cost 01' living not much higher than in Ontario, and that he intends to return in about a fortnight with the intention of making it his future home ...... Mr. William Barber, a former resident. of the Falls, returned a few «lays ago, after an ab- sence of about ‘22 years, and his old he. quaiutances were of course glad to see him, though he had been away so long that. a great many of them failed to rec~ ognize hitu.......\lr. and Mrs. Hutchison left on Tuesday lor Spokane, Wash.

No words could be strong enough to express his behavior, and his language would shock the decency ~01 any community, none excepted. It is said, though it seems really too much to believe, that this man is the secretary-treasurer of our bible society. If this is the case, though who could imagine why he should want to be there, no wonder that. our bible society receives so little support, and no wonder that the young men of our village regard such a noble institution with so little re- spect, when men of that stamp can hold an office. which should be held up before the eyes of our boys and girls as a position to be coveted, and only to be attained as the reward of good conduct The natural trend of this age of civiliza- tion is to elevate rather than to lower the moral tone of our public institutions and our public men. Charity, the greatest of all virtues, eom- minds that we should hear each otheth infirmities. Public decency demands that our public men in such positions, who are the criteri- one of our youth. should be the best amongst us. And the only conclusion to which these three thoughts can lead us is, that there must take place either a. change of heart or a change of man, and that soon.
