j. Bradford Gray, a Nova Scotia la
bOrer in the employ of M. r. Gray,
made misstep when coming out of
the barn with basket of corn on his
shoulder and dislocated the ankle
joint. He was taken to So. Ryegate
and it was found that one bone was
also broken. He has the sympathy of
the entire community.
One of the most demoralizimg inflic-
tons to which community is subject
is the annual squirrel hunt. Every
one engaged in it, if not directed, is at
least encouraged to steal from their
opponents and lie, and as a matter of
course profane language follows. Al
the present time we are undergoing
this infection.

House and Contents Burned.

Fire last Thursday night destroyed
a house in the north part of the town
belonging to John Thornton and Mrs
Doran Niles. Mr.. Niles heard some
noise outside about IL o'clock p. M
and got up, but saw nothing. Between
IL and o'clock he was again awaken
ed to find the fire so far advanced that
no time was left to save the household
stuff. The fire is supposed to have
taken from the chimney. The house
was insured for $500, with 5000 more
on furniture, etc. The loss is much

his old uniform for Il more correct one
Sbould he receive a Prince who has con-
ferred on him the purely honorary com
mand Of a regiment that bears his name
His Majesty always wear the uniform
of that particular regiment. IN TINS

Hence His Majesty has frequently to
change his uniform three or four uileS

the most delicate attentions, He loves

poses of his time during the evenings
without first consulting the Empress
Every evening they take tea together,
and the Emperor is never absent
! without first acquainting the En-
press of his intention, and RECEIVING

his Majesty decides as to how he
shall spend the evening. These dinners
are of the simplest kind, more

lasts more than half an hour.
When the Emperor receives permission
to pass the evening in his W way, ne
may be seen at the opera, not IN the
grand reception box, which occupies all
the center of the hall, but in an avant
scene of the first story, where, near the
actors, he can see better, and catch

with chamberlains in grand tenuc, oill-
GERS in brilliant uniforms and ladies OF
the palace in gorgeous toilet, while the
Emperor himself IN his plain uniform
bows and smiles to the aristocratic la
dies and distinguished danes in the
body of the house. When the play Is
over, which is generally a little after
nine O'Clock, his Majesty returns to the
palace, he takes a cup of tea, and attcn
