JaMES LAVEL .23. for nineteen years conductor on the Grand Trunk running from here to Palmerston, left Tuesday morning to take charge of a train running out of Toronto. We are pleased to note his promo- tion, but he has formed such an attachment for Durhamites and re- grets so much to leave his comfort- able home here, that we have also to sympathise with him. “Jimmy” thinks that Durham is the dearest place on earth, and were he able to control matters lie-wouldn’t go. The family will move to Toronto in the course of a couple of months, and the population of the Queen City will, by his removal, be increased by a straight dozen. IT was told of a certain crazy man in Kansas city, that in order to save himself any inconvenience, when he had his house remodeled. he included an automatic bath tub. The tub was so arranged that he could be in bed and upon pushing the button the door opened and the tub glided in from the next room to the side of his bed, then all he haul to do was to roll over into the tub and take his morn- ing bath. The other day he was showing aparty of gentlemen over the house when he came to his room and said: “ Let me show you my automatic bath tub.” lie pushed the button. There was a scream and the tub came sailing into the room with his wife in it. She now takes her bath in the wash pan.

As we passed up street one evening last week we heard the 1ema1k that it would be esentially necessary to establish, at least, an eme1 gencv hOSpitaI. On makixw enquilv as to the cause for such 19111111 Ls we learn- ed that several had been injured the previous dav. \Ve had not gone far when we met; Bob Cameron limping around and on enquiry he told us that he had received a kick while playing foot-ball the previous even- ng. The injury was so severe that he was compelled to stop work in the factory and return to his home in Corbeton. Next we saw W. M. Brown trying to move on crutches and learned that he also had been injured in the same game and was suffering from a dislocated ankle. Others were more or less injured and we have to conclude that foot-ball when played roughly is not a pleas- ant game. However, the disabled are prOgrcssing favorably and no serious complications are looked for. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Mickleboro’ and family are at present Spending a few days at the former’s parental home.
