N 0 license has been granted and the chattels were being sold at auction on Wednesday of last week, when some Toronto creditors through their solicitor here obtained an injunction, and put an end to the salt. On Saturday these creditors learned that a quarter’s rent came due on Monday and fearing the chattels would be seized for that, they kept men busy Saturday night getting the stuff moved out. Some fiery passes occurred between the representa- tive of the rent and his solicitors on the one hand and their active antagonists who were obtaining possession of the chattels on the other. When morning broke peace prevailed, but- the goods were gone. â€"A few days ago Messrs. Horn Bros. received an imposing document from the Minister of the Interior, Hon.

This order will mean about m blankets and many huudred yards of woollen tweeds. Farmers will remember the immense quantities of wool a. similar contract required last year and will be glad to hear that Horn Bros. will need even more this ‘year. A new and novel machine for removing burrs from the wool has just been installed. â€"-On Tuesday the results of the Theolog' lcal examinations at Victoria University were made public.
