BREEzY.-Last Saturday was breez
dav. The wind just set up on its hind
leos and howled. 1t blew equal to the
bloviating of street corner politician
And, oh, how the dust flew. 1t was
forced into ones eyes, mouth, nose, hair
and whiskers. The wind gathered up
armsful Of dust and threw it into stores
offices and houses, and all the time
roared and howled and shouted as If 1t
was enjoying the discontinue OF poor
humanity. 1t caught mems hats from
their heads and sent them-the hats
we mean, not the heads-whlrllng
down the street until specially muddy
gutter could be found and popped them
into the filth. 1t caught ladies dresses
in most uugallant manner and tried
to null them over their heads, making
it lively for the danes and demoiselles.
It fairly shouted as it got hold OF a
squeakv sign and shook it and made 1t
rattle again. 1t was rough but jolly
wind, but we prefer our zephyrs less
vigorous. We are fixed in this opinion
after chasing our plug hat half mile.
A fat man and cane chasing fugitive
tile, though a moving, is not an in
structive spectacle, and when old Borax
wishes to blow his horn again, we hope
he will not toot it so strong.

The Great Hunter tonight.

PLAYING WITH FIRB.-A little child
of Mr. Myers, who lives at the head OF
Hampden street, who had seen fires
made BY others for the purpose OF burn
ing up trash, rubbish and weeds, gath
cred lot OF sbavings and other com
bustibles and piled them up against a
shed in Mr.. Myers yard, just in the
rear of the residence OF Joseph Willis
and set fire to it. The wind was blowing
very ficrceIy at the time and but for the
fortunate discovery and prompt extin-
suishmeut Of the bonfire by the neigh
bors, great damage would have been
the result. The most unfortunate part
Of this matter is yet to be told. After
the fire was extinguished, the child, a
little girl, we believe, was scolded &C.
verely for her act, and was told that II
she ever did such a thing again a
policeman would be sent for, and she
sent to the calaboose. This threat so
frightened her that she went into con-
vulsions, and we heard last night that
twas hardly possible that the un'ortu'
nate child can live.

CHARGED WITH LARcENY.-For some
time past the Crescent Iron Works
Company have been missing pieces OF
rope, quantities of iron, tools and other
matters, until about $500 worth has
been missed. The property disappeared
in some mysterious and uuaccountable
way, and finally watch was set and
resulted, as the manager thinks, in the
CAPTURE Of the offender. At any rate a
warrant ives placed in the hands Of
Constable Charles Exley, who, on
Friday night, arrested man named
Frank Heidi on charge of the larceny
He was taken before Squire Launder'
who required him to give bond in the
sum of 800 for his appearance for q
hearing to-day. The only property
found in Eeldts possession belonging to
the company, We believe. is sledge
hammer.

that the entire village would be CEN
