WE HAD a pleasant call last week from Mr. '1‘. G. Oliver, travelling rep- resentative for the Monetary Times, published in Toronto. Mr. Oliver was formerly a school teacher in England, later in Toronto, but not for the last thirty-seven years has he been teaching the young idea. Since he gave up teaching he has been engaged in work similar to that in which he is now occupied. RUBBER goods in endless variety at Peel’s.

Ixrmmariox has just reached this otiice that while John Redford, form- erly of Muloch, but now of Emo, Rainy River. in company with his son William. a boy about sixteen years of age, was embarking in a small boat to go on a hunting ex- pedition, the gun carried by the boy accidentally discharged and the “hole contents entered the lad’s arm between the elbow and wrist fracturing it to such an extent that amputation will be necessary. He is now in the hospital at Rat Port- age. under medical treatment. The blow is a very severe one on Mr. Redford as he had the misfortune only a few months ago to lose his partner in life.

SUGAR.--2O lbs. granulated sugar for 81.00 at Parker’s. WE HAVE a. few on our mailing list presumably correspondents who never contribute anything either in the shape of news or money. We seldom mention this matter, and we hole it will not be necessary to re- peat it. Some of our correspondents are quite valuable to us, and these we highly appreciate. Let us have Wizttgm St:.\t.t~:s.â€"()tir reference last week to the question of large and unall seals and the accuracy of large ones for weighing small articles has hrought forth a few opinions, some of which we must confess have given us light on the subject. A gentle- man from Ulenelg told us on Monday last that he believes the scale here is all right, even in the weighing of a sheep or lamb. As a basis of his be- lief he referred to the sensative na- ture of the scales at Edge Hill which responded to the weight of a large nail when they were placed in posi- tion. He believes them to be accur- ate in weighing even a few pounds, and the same gentleman told us that recently ten lambs were weighed at Edge Hill and then jolted to Durham in a lumber waggon and again weigh- ed on the town scales losing only five pounds. This was suficient guaran- tee to him of the correctness of our scales. Some time ago we made en- quiry of the inspector of Weights and Measures regarding the accuracy of the scales in Question and were informed that they were perfectly correct. Information from another source goes to show that large plat- form scales may be materially afiect- ml by the direction and condition of the wind For instance :â€"‘A scale exposed to a heavy wind from beneath will cause it to Weigh light while a similar wmd lorced in from above will increase the weight. In_ View of this the weigher under such con- tlitions here will always have the ad- vantage, as the scales are so placed that no wind can aflect them from beneath. Our opinion was. and still is. that a properly adjusted platform scale should weigh euficiently ac- curately all weights, great or small. and as our scales are under the eup- ervision ol the Inapector of Weights and Measures, we believe they are all right, and for the past two or three years we. have heard only the one complaint, which #300. to eho' ‘theeatielaetiea'el thepaenl panic.

A Kansas minister who has an ex- traordinary amount of good sense in his makeup, while soliciting sub- scriptions for the church said: "I do not want any to contribute who have not paid their subscription to the home paper, for the local paper needs money a great deal more than the heathen.” THAT Dainty Widow, a particular- ly clever musical comedy, will be rendered in the Town Hall here, on Tuesday night, Nov, 19th. On Thursday evening of last week an interesting address was delivered in the Baptist church by Rev. Mr. Bennet‘t, of Herckimer street church in the City of Hamilton. The ad- dress was descriptive of a trip down the St. Lawrence from Montreal to Ste. Anne de Beaupre, and was given in a very entertaining man- ner clothed in much imagery and some highly artistic flights of rhe- toric. especially in his description of the Montmorencie Falls, and the natural beauty of the ancient Capital. To those who had ever the pleasure of going over the ground described the address must have been refreshing and personally on this account we enjoyed it very much. His descriptive touches of Nova Scotia, and theland of Evange- line were quite interesting and to relieve the montony incident to an ordinary lecture, Mr. Bennett had the wisdom to interSperse it largely with apprOpriate stories and witty sayings. The attendance was fair and appreciative. Mr. J. L. Brown was in the chair. A Mount Forest lady called at the Rep. office the week before the “ Dook’s ” visit to Toron’to, and gave an order for some “ dawnse cawds.” After hearing the “Book” and learn- ing that he spoke like common peo- ple, she called after her return to see FIGs.-â€"-6 lbs. new figs for 250 at Parker’s. it her " dance cards ” were ready. It isn’t good taste to put it on too thick, even if you do know how. How many boys are starting out in life with the ambition to be men when they get big enough? Some are certainly not, and little things, they may regard as manliness, are taken stock of by those who know something of human nature. A per- son seldom rises above his ideals, and the boy who mopes about with- out any fixed purpose will never rise high enough to be worth taking notice of. This may be a homespun statement, but it’s true, nevertheless and more than that, we regret to be- lieve it’s a local hit. Two doz. new caperines, just ar- rived, at The Big Store. Rev.

We presume that most of our readers have good intentions to pay up at some time, but good in- tentions go a short way towards meeting drafts and settling our bills Most of those who are in arrears on subscription or owe us for'job work, know without being told, and how much more agreeable it would be on both sides 'if payments were made Without putting us to the painful necessity of writing to each one per- sonally.

Nine carloads of machinery and material were delivered during the past week. Little Johnny returned from Col- lege, and was asked by his mother to bring in an armful of wood. For this he criticised the mother for lack of education, and requested that. in future, she word her wishes after this fashion :--“ Johnny, my amiable cherub, will you be so condescending as to tranSport to this edifice, some of the curtailed excrescences of a defunct log.” The father. who was a. practical man, suggested the wis- dom of giving the calf a dose of b‘uttermilk.

Thursday of last week was a noted day in the history of the Cement Works, not because of any special progress. but because the first train passed over the new track to the works and delivered {our car loads of machinery and plant equipment. The road is a short one and the scenic attractions are not of any particular interest and consequently need not be elaborated. The cars were simply pulled down to the switch and backed in on the new road to the building site, That’s all. W.
