Hill were at church a malicious and determined attempt 'was made to set fire to their resi- '- dence on Toronto street which happio ly did not terminate Successfully. Entry was made by way of the cellar window, and after the villain had cut the screen, which was across the window, and entered, he reached the kitchen by way of the stairs. He had taken a good supply of kerosene oil along with him, and after building a small pile of shavings against the wall opposite the stove. and saturat- ing both with coal oil, it was ignited. 1' The floor was covered with oilcloth, ; which fortunately would not burn. l l IKUCTCVW" but evidently the fire-bug did not take time to see whether his nefar- . ious work was carried to a successful ’ issue or not before making all haste from the premises, but not, however, 3 before saturating the floor and walls from the kitchen to the front door _ with the coal oil. No smoke was 3 visible from the street, but when Mr. y and Mrs. Hill Opened the door after , arriving from church, their conster- nation can be better imagined than i described on seeing the smoke pour- , ing out in dense volumes from the kitchen. After making their way to . that part of the house they discover- ed that the coal oil had been all burned, but that the hardwood wain- scotting and oilcloth on the floor had .failed to catch fire, and thus the efiorts of the incendiary lad been defeated The wall was badly scorch-. ed. but beyond that the damage to the building was nil. Mr. and Mrs. Hill feel very much aflected over the matter to think that any person would make such a bold and deter- mined attempt to do them such a serious injury, and have not the slightest idea as to who the perpetra- tor of the deed could have been.

That story of the gold nugget found in the interior of the Madoc porker was rather on the hog. At least the animal seems to have been considerably cut up when its wealth ' was discovered. Yet itdemonstrates that there is money in live stock in that section. Still the sad fate of this particular animal would Bilggest to others the propriety of coughing ‘up or they should n0t squeal when they get stuck for their wealth. In future th1s will be one of the perils before swine. But, seriously, the question of how that nugget got there should be considered by the Baconian theorists. It may account for the richness of Madoc pork as an 1 article of diet. Little did that pork» er know when it rooted it up that it, was the root of all evil. But not be-l ing able to make a silk pu1se out of a sow ’s ear it did the next best thing; and made a savings bank out of its' tummy. Perhaps it had ambitions to be a guinea pig, and now, alas! it feels like thirty cents’ worth of; sausage meat. The trouble beganl when it put its are in. and now it is getting roasted. To be sure, it will pan out better than expected.
