Uur worthy reeve, Mr. John Chambers, was for the second time returned by acclamation. This is as it should be, and is certainly a merited acknowledgement by the people of their full appreciation of the Valuable services rendered in their behalf by our chief. magistrate. Mr. Chambers’ career has been somewhat phenomenal. In 1889 he was first elected as a councillor; in 1891 __ - --_v-v.~.. .â€"-v 'v vvuL‘VLLLUL, L11 .LUUJ- he was elected reeve over that veteran municipal legislator, Mr. J. Daniel; the following year, 1892, he was returned by acclamation, and the result of Monday’s nominations once more furnishes ample evidence of his continued popularity and shows how heartily Mr. Chambers is in “touch” with the electorate. It would prove very satisfactory to .the people of this locality if at the next meeting of the c( unty enuncil that august body should see fit to place our popular reeve in the warden’s chair for the ensuing year.

The school concert held here on the evening of Thursday, Dec. 22nd, was a decided success in every particular, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attend- ed. The programme was a lengthy one and credit is due to Miss Maloney for preparing the dialogue and conducting the. programme. Miss Oryell also deserves praise for her pains in preparing the musical part of the programme. The; chorouses were well rendered and showed 1 careful training. The banjo and guitar1 duet, given by Messrs. Podger and Rob- inson was good. Mr. Faulkner did very well in his Irish and Negro comic songs. ‘ Mr. Foley showed that he had a powerful 3 voice, and took down the house with his ‘song, Mrs. Murphy’s boy Dennis. Mr. Piguott gave some selections on the violin and was heartily encoured. Mr Blackwell gave a reading which pleased everybody immensely. Mr. Burns took down the house with comic songs. Mr. J. J. Smith brought the tears to a good many eyes by singing In Old Madrid. and changed the long faces to laughing ones in his comic song, He Never Came Back. Mr. David Walker took ofi‘ the Irish servant with great effect and he is the makings of a good actor. The Misses Holmes, Hicks, Fox and Whalen took their parts in the dialogues like born actresses.

As hold a highway robbery as ever oc-; curred in the city was committed on Euclijgi avenue early last evening. It is doubt if the annals of the police can show a case. parallel to it. A party of four ladies were walking on Euclid avenue on the way home, from a shoppin expedition. They wereC Mrs. H. A. Gri n, Mrs. F. A. Arter, Miss Grimn, and Miss .5. ‘cer. At 5 30 o’clock. they were in front of the residence of Col. John Hay, on Euclid avenue opposite Huron street. It was dark; but many per- sons were passing on their way home. The ladies were interested in conversation and gave no attention to the stealthy approach- behind them of a tall, spare young man at- tired in a light-colored overcoat. He step- ped behind Mrs. Arter and placed one hand on each side of her head. He pressed them against either cheek and then turned and fled. His action was so unexpected and the ladies so startled that they failedE for a moment to understand it. Then‘ Mrs. Arter raised her hands to her head and learned that she had been robbed of her diamond earrings. “Oh, dear, my earrings are gone 1” she exclaimed. A cry of assistance was at once raised by all of the ladies. Calls were made for the police. A large crowd athered in a few moments, but too late to of service. The thief, after securing his plunder, started at a rapid gait along the driveway between the residences of Col Hay and Gen. James J. Tracy. A man left his buggy to chase, him, but the fugitive eluded him in the, darkness. He had probably ascertaine the lay of the land in advance and knew ex« actly the best course to pursue. ,fLL- The highwayman gainEd possession of the earrings by opening the Clasps and slipping them out of the ears, Mrs. Arter escapeda injury and only learned the absence of the earrings when she instinctively reached for them and found them gone. Each of them Contained a large solitaire diamond, and she prized them highly. The value of the gems is about $400. “It is the only case of the kind of which I have ever heard,” said Capt. Humphrey of the detectives. “There are a few cases in which earrings have been torn from the ears, but I do not believe that any other highwayman has had the nerve to open the clasps and remove the earrings just as the owner would have done. Everything con- spired in favor of the thief. When Mrs. Arter felt the man’s hands pressed a ainst her cheeks from behind, she suppo that it was her husband, and that he had over- taken her and proposed to give her a. sur- prise. The first thought of the other ladies of the party was that Mrs. Arter was re- ceiving a singular reeting from some rela- tive whom they di not know. Of course it was all over in a moment, and then they discovered their mistake. Another lady who witnessed the robbery said that the footpad had followed Mrs. Arter and her friends for a. long distance, and she had wondered what his motive could be. When he once had possession of the diamonds it was a simple matter for him to escape. The man was clearly a professional, and we have as yet found no clue to his identity." â€"Cleveland Leader. Browning's Love of Society. One of the first times I met him was in the company of a few young men of no name and position whatever, and I never remem- ber him more brilliant. He seemed en- chanted to talk to us, and told us of his youthful life when he was writing “Para- celsus,” of all the men he then met, and 0‘ what kind they were, and of all his do‘ with the actors and the stage when be bringing out “Strafiord.” As I listened I seemed to look within and to see in his wonderful memory a. multitude subjects and compositions, as it were. o§ the scenery of human nature ; nor was I less struck with his capacity for bringâ€" om â€"__ w-.â€" ing forth out of his treasures t ' 7 new and old, when on a day of later life, leaning over the balcony of the Hotel Universo at Venice, he was moved to speak to me of his life in Italy. All that he met he remembered, and what he re- membered he naturally composed, like an artist, into drama, or lyric, or narrative in his heart. He had hundreds of unwritten poems within, and could use them when ana how he pleased ; and if such multitudi'ng oneness would have been troublsome, for example, to Tennyson as an artist, it wal not a trouble but a stimulant to Bro . He was master of the many “studies h ' possessed. He gained them in his social existence. and if he had not lived in this continual to-and-fro of human life, we should have lost not a large number of those poems which touch an! fix lyric moments of passion or, conscience or spiritual feeling, but an}: that incessant by-play of human nature which, carried on by a. number of minor characters. There is no need to git ex? amples of this coruscating by-play. Their name is legion, but the putting of them in, the incessant parentheses in which they are inserted, the side-steps he runs out of his main subject to make, the incursions 03 the road into the wild country, account for a great deal of the obscurity with which slothful persons have charged him, and if they are not quite good art, are at least oi extraordinary interest.â€"Stopford Brooke Every pontoon usedm the French army weighs 1.658 pounds and has a bouyancy of 17,675 poxlnds2 - . - .-. vv q in the Censui'y. iv'yl‘lie V‘walis of Babylon are said by Herodo- tus to have been 350 feet high and 100 feet. thick at, the base.
