 -VARNIsH CHEAP! WILL SELL AT DIs- ooUNT.-On Thursday last our quiet village was considerably rousedby young dealer in pGreish who went from house to house expos ing his unsurpassed varnsh" for sale, and proving the superior quality at the same time On calling at Geo. Hopson's, he made sale of $20; next, Mrs. Els, where he sold a small quantity; so onto Jno Hopson's selling $2O worth more; and thus he called from house to house selling from $2, $3, etc., to $20 in each place. On coming to the residence of W. Watson Sr., however, the young swinder was Mr. o vi1 Standard, and his eye had just rested on notice of the ''Varnish swindle." The ped dler tried to purchase the paper but MT. w. thought best to keep it and soon the trick was exposed. It seems the fellow had bought the bottles of s. c. Smith, druggist, and filled them in the back room of c. Eaton's store The cost of filling bottles that he sold for $2 was less than 20 cents each. As he said he couldn't be around again in less than two | years some thought best to lay in good stock. He said the varnish contained no turpentine, etc.. etc., If reports be true, the varnish was composed of over one third turpentine, his receipt being as follows: 1 qt Japan, qt. | Copal varnish and pts, turpentine. After the game had been exposed, Mir. Jno Segar was so exasperated that he made complaint and soon Constable Elmore was sent in pur- suit. He found tue varnish seller in Canaan, and brought him to town. The fellow said he would pay them back the money rather than spend hls time aud money in lawsuits, but that he could beat them if he did Had the Jew been little keener things would have worked more in his favor. *.~

 It is thought that no death has occurred in the Sunday School of St Peters parish within period of some fifteen years previous to last week, when Burton H. ,son of the late Charles H. Mattoon, departed this life at the age of about sixteen years. The fatal disease ap- peared to be 8 combination of pleurisy and pneumonia. The subject of it had for years been troubled with frequency of nose-bleed- ing; and after an illness of about two weeks blood commenced to flow, and it was found impossible to wholly check it death taking place in little over four days. Impressive funeral services were held at the residence on Friday the 20th, when the Rev. Mr. Gilliland delivered discourse from Rev. 14th chapter, 18th verse; The afflicted family have the sympathy of all in their great sorrow.

We think H. N. is correct about the five Sundays coming in Feb, again in 1920. Ac- cording to the Gregorian calendar the year 1900 is not leap year, although this is not exactly in accordance with what we were taught when child, that every years, or; any year that could be divided by without remainder was leap year. Can he tell us wheth- CT 365 days, 5 hours, AS minutes, 49 7-1O sec onds in year will prove exactly in this calen. dar, in 400 years? or in other words is our present civil year exactly the same as our Solar year?
