THE house in which Dr. Hutton has lived for the past two or three years is now being prepared for moving and the citizens are anxiously waiting to see how the contractor, Mr. Reuben Rogers.- is going to handle the job. The house is a. scantiing frame. m ick vaneered and built on a. stone t’mmda- tion. This is the first moving of the kinfi ever trivd in Durham or \‘ii'iuity, so far as we know. and we hope that Mr. Rogers will retain hi~ good repu- tation as a. house mover. The frame structures so far have been yanked along nicely and without muob dam- age. but the one he is at now is :1 mm)- bination of frame and brick which makes the moving of it seem almost impossible to the uniniated. Mr. Smith bought the house and let the contract of moving. VOL. 40â€"N0. 2m. q: NEWS AROU N D TOWN lrxlity and quantity ask yum‘ . .

SAM. the I rish hostler at the Mid- dmxgh House went to Joe Miehlhausen. the proprietor. a few days ago to en- quire about what kind of wood he got a day or two previous, when Joe in turn enquired if it wasn’t all right. “ It may be all right” returned Sam, “but bejabers it must have legs for it walked away during the night.” The wood was stolen but Sam had his own way of breaking the sad net/vs to poor Joe. IT'S painful for citizens with any pride in them to see the unsightly shacks that are being moved from the line of the railway and placed on good eligible sites in other parts of the town. They would need to be got very cheap to pay for the moving and necessary fixing up. \Vonder if the fire hy-law is being violated in any (#:LSP? THE Railroaders are making a big push just now, but the sound of the C. P. R. Whistle is not yet within ear- shot of the town. Various opinions are expressed as to when the rolling stock will be in town. Some say inside of thee months, but we are not 80 hopeful and do not expect to see the train run till some time next summer. \Ve may be off the mark but there is certainly a lot of work to do yet. It was reported here a couple of weeks ago that the rails would soon be laid to Price ville, but a Priceville caller the other day told us it would be months yet. Mechanics are now at work on the bridge. across the Saugeen here and from the pi ogress they are making it will not be long till they get throgh with the work. We do not feel like predicting the arrival even of. a con- struction train for some time yet. GIANT Triplets “Currency” “Bobs” and “Stag” Chewing Tobaccos, in big plugs. Quality always the same. MR. J AMES DAVIDSON has sold a piece of his property to the C. P. B, and George Yiirs will be placed so high and dry when the street and road are completed, that he will need an eleva- tor to get up to his residence. We understand he is after the C. P. R. to make good the damages they will do to his property. Elevated as he is he will always have a good dry yard. MR. WHELAN bought the double house belonging to Mr. Wm. Laidlaw on College avenue. IT is very commendable to see peo- ple take an interest in the graves of their depated relatives. A lady in town tries to keep in order the sacred spot in our cemetery here and goes out every week to perform some little act of kindness in honor of the dead. Among other things she had a few vases ccmtalning flowers as a sweet reminder of her affection, but would you believe it, dear reader, that some miserable miscreant emptied out the flowers and carried off the vases? Any person who will do a trick like that is not fit to live in civilized society, and we think there is not a person who lays claim to any degree or respectihility who would not like to see. him well punished. SOMETIME this, \Veduesday, morn- ing early the Men‘s furnishing store of Mr. John Rose was entered by a thief or thieves and a few articles of cloth- ing stolen. In addition to the stock carried by Mr. Rose, Mr. Nichol has a stock of tweeds and carries on a tailor- ing business In the. rear ot‘ the store. Mr. Nichol lives upstairs and locks up the store at night. Like many others he. simply turns the key and leaves it in the lock. The key can he seen from the outside through the. gla~s in the door. \Vith a large stone found on the door step the thief evidently broke in the glass and unlocked the door which gave him free access. A pair of trousers, a coat and a pair of boots were the. only articles missed. The thief left the tickets that were attach- ed to the stolen clothing and also his pipe, jack-knife and a few pieces of tobacco, which he evidently took from the pockets of his old clothes intend- ing to put them into the new ones, but forgot. It seems as if only one person was engaged m the work, or more goods might have been taken. The poor thief may have wanted a suit of clothes to go to the exhibition and as Mr. Rose doesn’t advertise, he may have thought the notices in the local newspapers would repay him for the loss of a few articles of clothing. Later.â€"-The old clothes consisting of shirt, trousers, boots and coat which were stowed away on the shelving and found a little latter revealed the thief’s identity. Search is being made for him, and we hope to see him caught. BORN LEDINGH AMâ€"At Weyburn, Sash, on Sunday July 28th to Mr, and Mrs, Walter Ledingham, a. son.
