Last Friday morning upon young Beard, the boy in Benton’s watch,clock and jewellery repairing shop on Kent St., coming to open the premises he found the back door wide open and about a dozen watches missing from the window. The watches were not of much 'value and. were the property of people who had left them with Renton to be repaired. 'Bhe police were at once in.. formed of the- robbery but have not succeeded in getting any clue. A num- ber of people complain that having given Benton watches and other N'fifl else to be repaired they eannotget them back again, Renton's answer to their enquiries aIWays being: that he had sent them. to Teronto as he could not make the impairs required In conse- quence of this and the disreputable as~ sociations Kenton has gatliwed around him, there-sue doubts in the minds. of l3,“ $04110 minute. and waleoon lead. mimy as to.the "°l’l"5r.Y-â€"P08‘- Elli, Prolmioml Single Scull Race the.

The judges at the finish, after consultutton, decided the race a tie for tint money. It meme that at the time of the finish they were sitting side by side on a box which stood on the scow provided for their occupation, and one held that Iinnlan finished tirst, while the other held a contrary opinion. Flam the position they occupied it is not at all likely that either ol them sighted the flags properly. Under the circumstant- ces the decision they came to was the only rational one at which they could arrive, and it seems to give general satisfaction, though Hanlan himselt professes to think that he won the race by half a length. The oflicial time of the race was 27:12. John A Kenedy finished a fair third, and Elliott was announced as the win- ner of fourth-money , but this is now disputed by Frank Gaudaur, who it is said claims, that Elliot turned near- ly 100 yards short of the turning buoy.

The Norseman brought over a couple of hundred excumiouieta. on Saturday, from Onk Orchard; arriving here about one o’clock. The steamer left most of the party here while she went to Co~ bourg and back, and started on her reo- turn trip about 4 o'clock The [message was u little rough coming over, but as it was calmer in the afternoon it would be more pleasant returning. The Oak Orchaxdere appreciated our town very much. A most extraordinary case of childo birth occurred on Friday at the village of Canton,whero a woman was delivers ed of a child in the public road, with-o out an attendant of any kind. The incident occurred nearly opposite the residence of Mr. Salter about 9 o’clock, and the woman had passed the hotel a few rods away not many minutes before She afterwards carried the child to the house of Mr. Salter’s farmer, where both were taken care of. The child died during the day. On Thursday morning last about one o’clock an alarm of fire Was sounded and s bright light WM seen in the din reaction of the Base line. Upon pro~ ceeding to the scene of conflugmtion it was found that the stable belonging to a house owned by M.- Geo. Williams, and occupied by Mr. Collins, a «brick- layer, was on fire. In a very short time it was in ruins, and efforts were made to save the house, by (lint. Doebler's Chemiml'Eugine, which was on hand, and which proved successful, but not before considerable damage had been dour. The furniture of the house was. very much damaged, and a gold watch, belonging to Mrs.()ollins has been miss- ing, and it is supposed was stolen. dis- 'ring- the excitementâ€"Times. On Saturday, 2nd, as Mr. Ed. Mc- Cullum, near Bletcher’s corners, was unloading barley, during the thunder- storm that passed over the town on that day, the lightning struck a large oak tree about twenty rods from the barn where he was at work, shivering it to pieces, and throwing a portion of it that weighed a ten or two, more than tWenty rods. At the same time the lightning was seen to strike the tines of the barley fork that he was using, producing an electric shock that brought him to his knees. The home attached to the waggon also fell, by the force of the shock. No severe injury was done to either Mr. McCallum or his team, except the fright occasioned thereby. â€"Guide. The “economy” of our city fathers is allowing the sidewalks and streets to get into such a wretched and even dan. gerous condition, that if they get through their term of office without a suit for damages they will do well. We fail to see the economy that is only rolling extra work and expense forward to another year. It is like a man wear- ing out all his clothing one year with- out getting anything new, and having to get a complete outfit the next, while a little judicious addition to his stock now and again at a small cost would make them last three times as long. Ono of our constables has been at a lose to know how he was only allowed milege for 75 miles when he took a prisoner to \Vhithy, while the Reeves were allowed 120 miles.
