cept Christiansen's and Wuncl's, and while
there. was no evidence obtained sufficient
to cause prosecution, yet enough was
seen to convince him that should there be
a repetition of the offence, steps would be
taken to revoke the licenses. We would
admonish our liquor dealers to be very
careful, as violation of the ordinance
may result in cancellation, or it will in
any event cause the council to refuse to re-
new the licenses of offenders against the
law.
Even the iciCles were blue with cold
Monday, and the chalk index finger of a
hand ON one of Brisbines bulletin boards
was so badly frozen that it is not expected
that it can be saved. "Was it as cold as
that ?" we hear somebody ask, well we
should remark, why if it were not for fear
of giving the impression that we exagger
ated, we would tell how people were put
ting up ice for next summers use, simply
by gathering up the SOLID Jumps of frozen
exhaust steam which fall from the pass
ing locomotives and from the engines at
our elevators. 1t isn't as cold it might be
either, and we may also remark that it is
not even the very best time of the year to
tell yarns.
A man in this town, we won't mention
his name, but Prof. Randall can point him
out, is so fond of vigorous exercise, that
he actually IN not content with the fun of
saving wood in the usual style, but in or
der to set the very last drop of comfort as
it were, and the fullest possible amount of
exhilirating and invigorating exertion
out of the task, he turns his bucksaw
blade end for end and crowds it through
the tough wood on the back edge
of the teeth How different some people
are; now we know of lots of men who
grumble like fury if they have to build a
fire, to say nothing of saving the wood
with the saw in its proper position, and
sharp also.
| NARROW EscApE.-A Mr.. Buck, who
lives west of town, made fOolhardy at
tempt TO go to his home last Saturday
night, and came very near losing his life.
He had not gone far on his journey ere he
got lost, and becoming wet, cold and
about exhausted from trying to face and
| fight his way against the furiously raging
storm, he turned and went with the wind,
fortunately coming to house where he
obtained shelter. He was severely frost
bitten, numb from exposure, and his es.
cape from death was almost miraculous.
He had about concluded TO seek shelter
and very probably death-~in drift, when
he dscerued the glimmer of light in Mr..
S. p. Schofeld's house.
No CoAL.-Many anxious mortals,
we'uns among the rest, are now
cussing ourselves for parting with
our wood stoves and buying coal
| burners, as here we are, at the commence
ment of long and apperantly severe win
| ter, wlthouta pound Of stove coal to burn
in our stoves. We were repeatedly urged
to use coal, as an abundant supply could
always be obtained, as wood was
scarce, acting upon this advice from the
company, our dealers sold customers Goa
stoves, relying upon the promises and as
surances of Mr. Hill, that it would be bet
ter for both people and company if Goa
instead of wood was used, and that an am
pie supply could always be kept on hand
We do not know that the company or Mr.
Hill is to blame for the delays, but certain
it is that our dealers have not nor can not
get their orders filled, and we are left to
suffer There is a great scarcity of fuel
every where, and the question now before
us is, must we discard our coal stoves and
burn wood. Is there any prospect of sup
ply of coal, and when can the fuel com
panies fill orders :? ~-.--,-
DRAMATIcs,--As announced in last issue
meeting of the dramatic club was helG
last Friday evening. Not much bushes!
of importance was transacted, but it was
decided TO ass gn parts and commence thu
rehearsal of play or plays to be given a
an early date. 1t is the intention to con
tinue the entertainments during the winter
season and we hope that the club may re
ceive sufficient liberal patronage from thu
public to encourage them to carry out thu
programme. There is large amount O.
hard study and careful rehersing required
us we'll as considerable amount of tim,
consumed, in preparing a play for produc
ton, and as the members of the club arr
simply striving to provide the public will
an unobjectionable class of entertainments
the public should show, by their presence
their appreciation of the effort made
"My Brothers Keeper" the Two Puddi
foots, 1.-THE Duchess of Dublin" and 9Th
Boston Dip" are among the plays to b.
presented this season. The majority o
these are short, laughable and popula
pieces, and others will be added to the re
pertorie as required:
