Tronto, Canada, Mail.
A resident of st. Thomas is the DOS
SCISSOR of dog which has some re-
markable instincts. On Sunday his
peculiarities and seotarian sentiments
come out. Unlike the crow, he can
count. He knows when Sunday comes
He is not the same dog as on other
days. He INDUCES in no pastimes, en-
courages no company, and says, in ac-
tions louder than words: "Six days
Shalt thou play and do all thy sports
The family are Presbyterians, but the
dog is Methodist. On Sunday he at
tends the family to the Presbyterian
house of worship, and then wends his
solitary and unbroken way to his own
church. He has a particular place
upstairs, when he can manage to
elude the vigilance of the ushers and
obtain ingress, and he pays dogmatical
attention TO the word of doctrine while
at service.

Yesterdays Record.
The subscriptions to the fund of
500, 900 to be raised by Philadel-
phians for General Grant are all in,
and the transmission Of the check
awaits the word from the ex-President
that he is ready to receive it.
"This is entirely private affair,
and has nothing to do with the raising
of the fund started by the New York
ers," said q gentleman yesterday,
whose name for large amount is
among the subscribers. "The names
of the gentlemen who have contnbut-
ed the money will never be announced
They are prompted byno other motive
than that of admiration and friendship
for the General. No man in the coun-
Try has greater personal following
than he has. and there is not one
among those who have subscribed fol-
this 500 900 who would, under any
consideration whatever, accept a pub

Philadelphia are desirous of giving
General Grant testimonial of their

800, 900 would be the most acceptable
thing they could OFFER"
''Of course there was no time re-
quired to secure the subscriptions af-
ter the thought was conceived 2" was
asked.
"Why, no." was the reply. "One
gentleman, a Philadelphian of large

than all, IL Is a sure, safe and certain cure.
1t is no quack medicine, but stands upon
its own merits, as any trial will amply
demonstrate. since 1896, this remedy has
always been sold for a much larger price
than that for which IL is now sold; but
owing TO the fact that the time for the
payment of an enormous royalty upon Its
manufacture has expired. IL Is offered to
the suffering OF both sexes at one dollar
per box, SO as to be within the reach of
all; at which price IL will be sent to any
address free OF further charge.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 80, 1880

THE Presidential contest will be
decided on Tuesday next. The cam
paign has been a long and active
one, and the people are beginning to
tire of it. What the result of Tues
days election will be it is impossi-
BILE to predict with any degree of
certainty. The Republican leaders
and organs claim the election of
Garfield beyond a doubt, and the
Democratic leaders and organs are
equally ar confident that Hancock
will sweep the field. The fact is,
these leaders and organs really know
no more about what the result will
be than any intelligent man who has
closely watched current events and
kept himself posted on the progress
of the campaign. The result of pop
ular elections is at best very uncer-
tain, and not unfrequently carries
with it astonishing surprises. We
know who will be elected President
on next Tuesday, but are too modest
to parade our knowledge until after
the election is over, and then our
friends, who migth be tempted to
bet on our say so, and probably lose
their money, will have no cause for
complaint against US. "You pays
your money and you takes your
choice"

ENFORCE ELECTION LAWS.

We notice the political associations
of Philadt lphia are announcing that
persons intimidating voters, by dis
charge or otherwise, will be prose-
cuted, and under the law, imprison-
ed. This is right, and it would be
well if the laws of West Virginia
were also enforced, both as to bribe-
ry and intimidation. Our State law
Furnishes intimidation with fine of
not less than one hundred dollars
and imprisonment in the county Jail
not more than three months, and
bribery with the same fine and sixty
days imprisonment in the county Jail.
Let the law be enforced at all future
elections.
