The deceased young lady had been in delicate health for over a year past, she hav- ing about that time contracted a severe cold. which settled on. her lungs.

Great distress came to the home of ‘ Dr. Gun on Monday'last 'on seeing ‘ an account ofa boy, Cecil Gun, 19 . years of age, having been drowned in Boston harbor. Telegrams were immediately sent- to chief of police in Boston to ascertain particulars, but no new light could be obtained in the case more than that Cecil Gun a stowaway from Liverpool was be- ing deported and to escape jumped into the bay and was drowned while attempting to swim to shore.

When a woman say's she wouldn’t marry the best man in boots. it. may generally be noticed she’ 23 not. wor- ried with applications. Women are not the only kind of individuals given‘ to gossip. Some men have the business reduced to a science. and can Knock the women cold in any kind of small talk. “Local Happenings.’gathered by Monitor Reporters; Fresh Butter- milk, etc.” This is a new phase and we must congratulate the Meaford Monitor. as the pioneer paper in starting the side show. When a boy is impervious to any- thingthing in the shape of an idea, it’s a hard thing to do much with him. Some may spend years at a business and not know any more about it than the man in the moon does about making soft soap. The Owen Sound Times says. “Paisley, which has been all but flead and buried for years, is having established a pork factory.” How exceedingly dead the olefactory nerves of the Paisleyiues must be, if ‘they can get. pleasure within three lmiles of a pork factory. A gentleman near Palmerston ownsE abird dog which is especially good at fetching things out of the water. In order to show a friend what the dog could do, he threw a 50 cent piece into the water, and told the dog to fetch it back. The dog dived and brought back a. two-pound cat- fish and 35') cents in change. This is no fish story. The Hanover Posttells of a glib tongued fakir selling gold spectacles, and warns the people against deal- ing with such chaps. No doubt the Post advises In good faith, but if peOple will stand round with their mouths Open waiting for some one to gull them, why should the news- papers feel concerned. If there is an institution to-day, on top of the earth that does its duty in warning ithe unwary against such diabolical tramps that institution is the local press, and yet theiakir feeds on the folly of those who will be fooled. 'l‘he Clarksburg Reflector has a correspondent who aSpires to pen his thoughts in poetry. at least we imagine he thinks it’s poetry.

We imagine the subline in- dignation Editor Marshall must feel as he looks over the. manuscript of such outrageous balderdash. One would imagine the poetical contri- butor had Strayed away from the rest of the long- eared animals to which he seems to belong. - On Saturday last we . received at this office a very strange letter. The post mark and stamp were such as we never saw before. and the address on the envlope was a beautifully il- luminated production. On tearing open the envelope and reading the contents of the enclosed epistle we were astonished to find it was a letter from the men In the moon. who claim- ed he had established a weekly mail service with our planet, and that he wanted to be regularly informed; from the most reliable sOurce of the 'way things were going on down here, and, moreover. that he had examined all the_ weekly newspapers on earth and found the Chronicle the most readable and most reliable.
