ExrosIToE, you expose many
things that are both instructing and
entertaining, and although We do
not write often, We like to give
quite list of items when we do.
The health of the town is quite
good. Threshing is through with
and most of the people are ready
for winter. Fall wheat looks well
for the cool weather we have had.
The cold snap last week made many
hug the fire and seek comforts for
domestic animals.
Some of the young folks have
sought more comfortable winter
quarters. On the 18th ult., John A.
Shannon, station master at Goodies,
was married to Louisa NJ. Morris,
by his brother, of Forest, Ont. On
the oath, Isaac Green was married
TO Sarah Myas.
Hubert Fuller's store, at the Cen
tire, was burned on the 25th ult.
Less, about 81, 500; insurance, about
5000.
Margaret b., wife of Hiram Mcr-
rcll, died at the Centre on the 26th
ult., in her saith year.
Chas. Russ died at the County
house on the 23rd ult., aged 20, also
Austin Gates on the 9th, aged ~.
The house Of James McNutt,
south of Riley Centre, was burned
on the 30th ult. Loss, over 81 900;
insured for $3.50. The large. new
barn of Christian Rose, In the west
part of Wales, was burned on the
9Th inst, together with horses, a
jack, Q wagons, l buggy, l reaper
harness, farming tools, and over &C
tons of hay. Loss, about $1,000;
insured for $500.
We believe the County house is
prospecting under the management
of Jas. Kilgour.
Quite a number of young men
have gone to the lumber woods.

Peculiar scenes in Brother Whitcford's
Retreat for the Unfortunate.
Brother Whitefords Snooze house." is the
significant name that perogrinating vags.,
who hustle about Washington in quest of food
and lodgings, have applied to the old church
building corner of Second and streets north
east The lodging house, for such it is, was
established somo time ago by Brother White
ford, a well known character who can be seen
upon the streets almost any day, bearing
large placards on his back and breast. with
such inscriptions on them as Come to Jesus"
and the wicked Flee when no Man Pur-
sucth" During the daytime Whitoford
goes about distributing tracts of his own
origination, and at night he prcsidos over tho
molly gathering Of unfortunates who find
shelter under the roof Of the old church. a
grim old veteran whose infrmitos give him
a tottering gait, and who came here to try
and got pension for injuries resulting from
sunstroke received on the slSrmish limo at
tho battle Of Gettysburg was mot by II RE-
PUBLICAN reporter just after leaving the
"snoose house" last evening. He said he
had lodged with Brother Whitolord for sew
cral nights, but intended to leave, rs he had
been implicated in n quarrel with the former.
The veterans description of nightly scenes
inside the old building were very interesting.
About 10 o'clock every night, he said,
Brother Whitciord assemblies his dodgers in II
semicircle and holds prayer meeting, ending
with series of Moody and Sankey's revival
tunes. just as the last air is ended tho lodg-
ers arrange it that a bcatod vag will enter
and say: Brother Whteiord, let's have an
other hymn" he request is always granted,
and in this manner the singing is kept up
until after midnight. Those dodgers who can
afford it are taxed all the way from 3 to 10 cents
for bed, while for supper II saucer of corn
mush is furnished. Whiteford's manner of
arousing his guests in the morning is both
striking and novel. About daylight he goes
from bed to bed striking the sleepers on tho
soes Of their feet, with the exclamation, "Git
up and put in another day for God!" The
beds furnished consist of small mattresses and
single spreads. The place is odd and peculiar
in the extreme, and peculiar gathering OF
mortals congrcgates there every night.
