the Baptist church.
One of the owners of the fOun.

as much business as two years ago.
Dry goods and groceries are doing
pretty we'll. All are looking for
better times, and indeed the skies
are brightning n little.
Within a few days there has
passed through here daily about 80
carloads of eXcurslonists, mostly
French from he sea board and in.
land cities, going to Montreal to
celebrate st. Johns Day. TO day
the Barnum O'Brien Worlds Fair
is exhibiting to much smaller
crowd than last year. The show of
animals is good and the circus per-
fOrmances are said to he excellent,
by those who are supposed to know.
But the poor horses and mules, es,

merciful to his beast,' but would
rather like to have him show where
in Holy Writ that passage is found.

against this abuse of dumb beasts,
and for the credit OF humanity hope
never to see such spectacles again
