Il is sand that mechanic who has been
working in this city, but resides in the
country, has been in the habit of delaying
his departure for home until after night,
and then loading up his wagon with lum-
Der that did not belong to him. The gen.
tleman was finally caught in the act and
compelled to return the stolen property to
the owners. 1t will be well to keep an
eye on such individuals and keep your
stable doors locked when they are around.

Last Sabbath was the most delightful
day OF the season, and it was taken ad-
vantage of by the equestrians of Medl-
cine Lodge-every available horse and
saddle beng brought into use. One could
see the ladies and gentlemen by twos and
by threes galloping over the prairies In
every direction-and it was a pleasing
sight. There is no more pleasant and
health-giying exercise than horseback
riding, and If it was more INDUCED in by
the ladies Of Amersca, the race would not
be running out so rapidly as some statisti-
cans claim.

An exchange says that a man may Dor
row money, steal from a widow. discount
his own whisky bill or nip a prhyef-book
from dying heather, and still have some
chance Of pardon; but when he swindles a

the devil has got such a grip on the waist
OF his panteloons that repentance and for
giveness are entirely out Of the question.

Once upon a time, a certain man got
mad at the editor and stopped his paper.
The next week he sold his cattle at a cent
and half below the market price then
his property was sold for taxes, because
he did not read the Sheriff's sale notices.
He was arrested and fined IS. GO for gong
hunting on Sunday, and he paid 1900 for
a lot Of forged notes, which had been ad-
vertised two weeks and the public eau
toned not to negotiate them. He tnen
hired a big Irishman with foot ike a
forge-hammer, to kick him all the way to
the newspaper Cfllce, where he paid four
years subscription in advance. and made
the editor sign an agreement to knock
him down and rob him if he ever ordered
his paper stopped again. Such is life
without a newspaper.

very interesting and instructive enter

Wednesday evenings of this week. The
house was densely packed each night, and
all who attended pronounced themselves
as exceedingly well pleased with the en-
tertainments-which consisted of recita-
tions, impersonations and operaticl airs.
The Professor, as an elocutionist, is hard
to excel. His manner Of delivery is pleas
ing, and his personation of the Dutch
character never fails TO bring down the
house. Mrs. Hattie Price has a sweet,
musical volce, and its power never fails
to khold the attention of the audience.
She is so modest and ladyl.ke, and seems
to so enter into the spirit of the songs.
that the hearts OF the listeners are at once
drawn towards her. Her PRESERVATION OF
the Scotch lassie" was the most effectinQ
Of her renditions, and many a moist eye
was seen in the audience. Taken alto
gether, it was the best entertainment oil
the sseason, and We trust that Mr.. and
Mrs. Price will conclude to visit our little
city again in the near future.
