I A little gossip, like a little learning, is a. dangerous thing. If a thing with a hat and coat on con5t-itutes a. man, an ordinary scare- crow will fill the bill. “ I’m considerable of a liar myself” said a citizen when he was told about a hail stone three inches in diameter. We’ll take his word for it. The Hanover Post speaking about last week’s hail storm says “ One was picked up that measured 33; inches in diameter.” Wasn’t the quarter inch allowed for melting that occurred during the act of measuring Brer Mitchell. It’s all right and close enough for a newspaper. A Grit farmer tells us we are fool- ish for publishing the article on “Noxious Weeds.” Likely we are, but if so the Grit government must be foolish for issuing the bulletin from which we.c0pied the article. Isn’t that so Mr. Grit farmer? Two of our wheelsmen went. four miles in an hour and a half one day last week. When we say the high record is attributable to the fact that they walked half the distance the story wont be so hard to Swallow. The long journey bicycle craze seems to be nearly petered out. Some prefer walking when they’re in ahurry. When a fellow’s collar is too'high its hard to get down to work. A citizen boasts of being a self- made man. That’s the reason he worships his maker. If a minister pays two dollars for a livery, and three dollars for a wed- ding present he can’t afl'ord to pay much for a notice, if the groom‘ pays him off with a, bushel of turnips, or its cash equivalent. On Saturday afternoon last, while a number of little girls were playing in Victoria Park. a serious attempt to outrage one of them was made by a fiend in human form. Little Jennie Cheeseman wandered a short distance i from her companions and was seized by a rufiian, who threatened to take her life if she made any outcry. She screamed, however, and her friends rushing to the spot, screamed also, and the brute becoming frightened ran away. The little girl when res- cued was almost stripped of her clothing. \Ve hepe every eflort will be made by the authorities to discover the monster, and give him his deserts â€"the lash and penitentiary. A little of Southern lynch‘léfw might have a deterrent efect on these human reptiles.~â€"Coilingwood Messenger. A shocking incident was brought to the notice of our reporter this week and one that would be well for the authorities to look into. Last Satur- day morning Mr Neil McMillan pro- :ceeded to tether his. cows on the icattle fair grounds as usual when he 'came across quantities of salt and ‘Paris green laid around on pieces of newspaper, with what he believes was the evident intention of poison- ing his cows. Fortunately it was discovered in time to prevent any damage being done. That some one wishes to Spite or injure Mr. McMil- lan is further evidence in the fact that not long ago two dots and some hens of his were poisoned to death.â€" Mt. Forest Representative. Gertie Nixon, of Orangeville, who was shon by young Ottawa Hunter on July 2nd, has not. undergone much change in condition, and there is a hope for her life. An X-ray ap- gparatus has been brought up for the :purpose of making a search for the bullet, v. hich is believed to be in the lung. An injury to her Spine has caused paralysis below the waist. Whether or not this will be perman- ent or fatal depends considerably on the extent of the injury. If the spinal cord is seve’red or too severely ‘ damaged, the worst is to be feared. If, however, the cord is only all‘ected by concussion, the damage may be gradually overcome and the patient’s life saved. â€" Shelburne Economist. up in the thousands.
