Francis Mayott, who lives In the Omnibus,
called at DR. Bruce's office Tuesdayevening and
accused the doctor, in profane and abusive Ian
guage,of circulating the story that there was

people, among them ladies, waiting in the office,
and the doctor, after yanly attempting to get
rid of him peaceably, torcibly elected him from
the room and on to the side walk. Mayott has
long had g.udge against the doctor because
the latter used legal means to collect bill
which Mayott had refused to pay.
Local sportsmen think we are getting some
thing of the marvellous migration of fwestern
squirrels reported elsewhere. A month or even
two weeks ago "grays" were very ascarce, and
was almost impossible to find, and now the
hunters are having famous luck, and tits no.
ticed that they are larger than were ever found
here before, except perhaps years ago when
as one CT the hunters say, western squirrels
were found here flor about fortnight They
are as large as small cat, with yellow bellies,
and very shy perhaps because shot a. SO much,
and intsead Of "treeing up like our grays, they
run for hole.
The Taurus club after several contests over
the subjectfn the past few week voted to disband
Monday evening. The reason was that several
for ore cause or another had got tired
Of tie organization and they circulated pledge
to which they got majority of the members,
Twelve, to promise to vote to disband, and they |
lid so with their vote solid. The other men,
ocrs would not recognize the proceeding or the |
Meeting, and officers pro tenn had to be elected |
o carry it through. But all hands, as it is |
IuutI etOOu nOW, Will buUhlt, ouu SOuSiuCI VIC

way of Bringing high order of entertainments |
O the town, has filled u :eful place in the !
community.
There are no new developments in the post
,ffice canvass this week, though of course the
ongue Of rumor is busy with any quantity Of
bsurd reports. Entire good nature prevails
IN all sides, Or at least would were it not |
or une thing, the paper circulating for Mr. Be- |
mis- asking for signatures to the statement that
he other petitions had been signed under
That is not square or
manly way of putting it; for there was no "wis
pprehension" with regard to the petition for
ither Mr. Chds or Mr. Fenton, and il any body
tho signed these wants to change now, 1t is be-
ause of pad feeling that has grown up over
Their appointments Or other matters OF some
ind, and it is simply ridiculous to state any
ling else. Mr. Bemis is too good a man to
ave his canvass belittled by any such tactics.
While the REFoRMER thinks as II has repeated
said, that Mr. Chids ought to have the post
lice, because of his position and service in the
arty, and his experience in the business, 1t has
ot word to say against any other candidate,
nd it recognizes their full right as American
tizonS to aspire to honorable public employ
ent and to seek public approval of their am
tion. Its effort has been to prevent any bad
cling in the matter as it tried to do last week
pointing out that some OF the charges against
II Bemis, accusing him OF being treacherous in
rst supporting Chids adnd then becoming a
andidate, were not justified, because he had
ut supported Childs, and had frankly express
I to him in the beginning his desire for the Of
ce. These divisions and sore feelings over ap
,intments come from the hasty, ill.adyised
ay in which charges arc made and tales car
ed back and forth, and we object to this "rc-
paper, because 1t is carrying these
Objectionable tactics to their worst extent. We
ope it may be withdrawn.
