There were no lights: Had thieves entered the house and were about to “clean up” on the valuables? Despite the fact that he had made quite a racket coming up the steps, the voices still continued. Mustering up all his courage the man entered the house and shouted: “Who’s there?” A brief silence then a voice said: “This is stationâ€"3’ The mystery was solved The man had neglected to turn of! his radio!â€"Dundalk Herald. Removing House From Flood Zone The house of Mr. Harvey Miller, near the West End bridge, which was so undermined by the recent flood that one end of the structure dropped three feet, breaking off large patches of the brick veneer as well as the coli: psing of one of the chimneys, and from which domicile the marooned occupants had to be removed in boats. has been taken over by Mr. Edmond Hopkins, who had a monetary interest in the building, and who is having the balance of thel brick work torn off and the frame work moved further north to higher ground on the opposite side“ of the street, alongside the home of the Misses Holm. Mr. Miller will continue to occupy the structure in its new location, which will be well out of the. reach of the usual spring freshets.-â€"Walkerton Her- Nenstadt Resident Passes The death occurred at Neustadt on Sunday last of Mrs. Charles Widmeyer, wife of the reeve of Neustadt, at the age of 58 years and 6 months.

Garrick Lost Many Bridges L'ast Friday’s freshet will cost thel township 0f Garrick about $12,000. Some fourteen bridges were washed away, several of them being expensive structures. Stroeder’s arch bridge over the Meaux creek on the 8th concession, together with about sixty feet of ap-' proaches, were washed away, and it is estimated that its replacement will entail an expenditure of at least $5,000. The bridge on the 12th concession, commonly known as Brown’s bridge, 'was undermined, and will have to be rebuilt.

Brant Votes for Power Company The electors of Brant township, in a special poll last Monday, voted 297 to 44 to allow the Foshay Company of Minneapolis to erect poles and power lines along the roads of the township, and to supply power to all who apply for it.

OTHER PAPERS’ OPINIONS Ban Sunday Funerals Recently the Brampton Ministerial Association waited upon the Bramp- ton Counc1l and petitioned that body to - 'LL.‘ ha‘Aififl Lou UUUUUJL “u“ rv â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" pass a by-law forbidding ‘the holding of funerals on Sunday. There is a strong feeling in opposition to Sunday funerals, except probably in cases of extreme necessity, in many other sec- tions besides Brampton. They inter- fere with Sunday as a , day of rest; they create a serious problem for all clergyâ€" men on that day when their church work needs them most. It is pointed out that in most large centres Sunday funerals have been adandoned.â€"â€"Kin- cardine Review-Reporter.
