Yesterday closed the season for
killing deer, and those who follow it
up after this may make deer work for
themselves. However, be believe the
law allows honters five days, or such
a matter, TO get their venison out of
the woods, and in doing this it fre-
quently happens that the live deer are
very ferocious, and inclined to bite, in
which case the hunters lives are very
much in danger, the bite Of the deer
being very..f ppisenous-consequently
they are some times obliged to kill the
deer in self-defense. We hope none Of
our hunters will allow themselves TO
be bitten.

-vertismeut Of Geo. w. Dithridge in

Last Thursday gentleman in the
employ Of the Hall Safe Co., of Gin
cnnati, arrived and opened the safe of
May, Park & Co., finding everything
all right, with the exception of g very
slight scorching to the inside. None
of the books or papers were destroyed
in the least. On Monday another
attache Of the Cincinnati firm arrived
and attached time lock to the safe.
These locks are made to run with
clock work land when once set and
the door locked the safe cannot be
opened until the time is up, not even
by the cashier himself AS to the
burglars there is yet no clue, but the
matter will be sifted out if such a
thing is possible.
"A hundred. thousand.dollar fire
swept the town of Red Rock, Bradford
district, nearly out Of existence, on
Friday morning last. 1t is thought
that ten acres were burnt over, and
over two hundred families were rem.
dered homeless, many barely escaping
with their lives. Among the losers
we notice that Or. Egbert, formerly of
this place, sustained a loss Of 1915.
The fire originated in the old fashion
way: A $4,000 barrel tank situated
on hill above the town caught fire,
exploded and the burning oil poured
into the village, sweeping everything
Oh its way. 1t seems people ought to
learn after while that building oil
tanks over town, or a town under
oil tanks, is not the correct thing to
do. Less of that kind of work would
be great saving to life and property,
