A HoT sUPPER.â€"â€"Mr. John Chisholm, who has been rusticating near Hepâ€" worth station for the past month, was in town on Saturday. He tells a good story in which the point is made against the boastful Â¥ankee. It is said that a party of Americans were on an excurâ€" sion steamer near Kingston, a week or so ago, and were quite elated over the success of the American arms in the war against Spain. The amonat of work done before breakfast by the American army and navy seemed to them to be \the crowning part of the American side. ‘Turning to an old Scotch Canadian who was on the boat, one of them said : :"When we get done with Cuba and the Philippine Islands, we‘ll come over to ’,Oanad_a some fine morning and capture it and take our breakfastâ€"in Canada." This was more than the Canadian could stand, and the reply was short and to ‘the point when he said : *‘You may _come over and take your breakfast. in Canada, but you‘ll t«ke your supper in Boothville Cheese Factory made a shipment of Cheese this week.

Saunders, Durham, that his brother had been drowned in Owen Sound Bay. He at once made avrange~ ments to go there and in company with Mr. W, Caldwell got there to find the news true and preparations made for interment. . As the remains were in an advanced state of decomposition it was deemed inadvisable to remove them, An inquest was held by Dr. Allan Camâ€" eron, and a verdict of accidental drownâ€" ing was rendered. He had been last seen on Sunday morning about 8 a. m. On the Friday previous, while intoxicatâ€" ed, he had said he was going to return to Durhaim, bu« such was not to be, and much sympathy is felt for the mourners in Durham. The 0. S. Times account account of the finding of the body is as follows. "A mysterious drowning case caused considerable excitement â€" last evening. As Arthur Beshard, a boy of fificen, who works at the chair factory, was paddling around the river on a raft he cameâ€"across the body of a man floatâ€" ing, face downward, under Smith‘s dock, opposite Peele street. He called the atâ€" tention of Exâ€"Mayor Frost, who was boating on the river at the same time, to the fact and the latter notified the coroner, Dr. Allan Camerox. Underâ€" taker Breckenridge was called and the body towed across to Abbey‘s boatâ€" house, where it was tiken from the water and removed to Mr. Breckenâ€" ridge‘s premises, Frost street, No one appeared to recognize the body tor some time. It was badly swollen about the head, though there were no marks to indicate that any violence had been used prior to death. ‘About nine o‘clock Mr. J. D, Stoddart, hackman, identified the remains as>those of Thos. Saunders, who went by the nickname "Birdie," and who the week previous had been in l his employ as stableman and bus driver."
