VIM. McCallum landed at our port yes
terday, for his lumber camp, twelve
horses and yoke Of oxen. They were

sees,
Shortly after noon to-day double
team started to run away from Near
thur, Smith & Co.'S. dock. They were
getting under good speed, going up
Main street and when opposite the road
from Bakers dock overlook another

A case of cruelty is reported to us that
is almost too cruel to believe. A young
girl, whose parents live about eight
miles out in the country, was employed
by a family in this place to do house

his western life. He imagines himself
pearl among swine; he struts the
streets with a scOrnful walk, his coat
tail swaying to and fro, like an oar in
a sculling match. He mOves-in his

if you please. Perhaps that individual
owes the tailor for his clothes, the jewel
er for his watch and the wash-woman for
the clean shirt that he wares, and came
here to avoid being ANNOYED about the
pay. True manhood never puts on I'M
necessary airs. We admire pride, but
detest the acts OF "spO0ny." In COM
