We had the pleasure last week of looking over a collection of books in the possession of Mr. Fred White of town. The collection is not large, nor is it particularly valuable, ex- cept to Mr. White. The collection consisted of a certificate. from an English school, dated 1892, which read as follows : “This is to certify that Fred White was presented for examination to Her Majesty’s Inspector and was pro- moted to the ,1th Standard on Januâ€" ary 27. 1892. (Signed) H. Lloyd, C.M. Mr. White also has in his posses- sion a Book ot Common Prayer and Hymnal of the Anglican church, ‘also brought with him to Canada, as well as an oldâ€"time Public school arithmetic. writing book, and even the Scribbler used by him when he first went to school in this country. The collection is an interesting one to Mr. White, recalliig, as it does the days of over thirty years ago, and will get more interesting as the years pass by.

Hastie of the Veteran Billiard Parlor request- ing that the license fee of $50.00 per year for selling cigarettes be reduc- ed. As there was no one to speak to the petition, nothing was done with the matter. - Mr. Currey’s letter, laid before the Council by the Mayor, defined the te1ms upon which Mr. Young is al- lowed to pull his p10pe1ty out of the to“ n and hax c it assessed in Glenelg. Mr. Young will pay his sha1e in all town debentures. according to the letter, and will, if necessary, have to pay his share of any of the “guar- ‘a.11teed" debentures should they fall [back on the town. The Finance Committee. passed acâ€" counts amounting to $423.45. As a member of the Special Com- milieu appointed to interview Mr. H. J.

He was going to enlarge the ‘hasin on the West hill and was pre- paring to put in extra piping from‘ the East hill. This would give plen- ty of water. and would also increase [the pressure so that this. too, would 'he satisfactory.

WAS POSTPONED Big Crowd of Fans In Durham and Surrounding Country Disappointed At Last Minute. The Listowel-Durham league hockey game scheduled for last night was postponed by the N. H. L. Executive yesterday and very little satisfaction given the locals as to when the game will be ordered played. This Northern Hockey League should be rechristenmi and called the Nutty Hickey League, for if what has been going on during the past week is any criterion to go by. it is about the nuttiest bunch of hicks that ever assembled tOgether l in the name of sport. The game was first ordered played Monday night of this week. The game would have to he played thou or not at all. Then sonmono else had a pipeâ€"droam and the game was called for Wednesday night. of this week. This game, too, would have to be played then or not at all. Yes- terday some-thing 0180 went wrong and the game was postponml indef- inite-1y, no one. up in this country, at least, knowing when it will ho. ordered. To cap the climax. it. has now been discovered that Section A‘ of this district, composed of Listowel and Palmerston. teams. has never been finished. Listowel owes Palmerston one game at home, Can you heat it? The schedule of Section "."\ as it appeared in the London Free. Press called for one game at Listuwel and one at Palmerston, with. we believe. but are not sure, the prmiso that, goals were. to count. on' the round. i As the Secretary of the Northern League lives in Palmerston. we can not. understand Why he eould not keep track of two home and home games in which his team was interâ€" ested. and not ("all for a play-oil be- tween Sections “A" and “B" liefore the schedule in one Of them was tin- ishetl.
