An exchange says there is but one
lawyer in heaven. How he got there
is not positively known, but it is con-
jectured that he passed himself off as
an editor and slipped in. When the
dodge was discovered they searched
the realms of felicity in their length
and breadth for another lawyer to
draw up the writ of ejectment, but one
could not be found, and Of course he
held the fort.
Arbor day was not kept in this vicin-
ity in the manner we would like to
have seen it; perhaps this might be
partly accounted for on the ground
that the late cold snap prevented our
citizens from obtaining the trees need
ed for that purpose; but we hope that
will not prevent them from following
out the suggestions of the governor
and others, as soon as it can be done
consistently, for, while it not only
tends to beautify and adorn our homes
we believe that the planting and cult
walton of great number of trees, will
have a tendency to attract moisture.

H. A. Bussieres, Of Winnipeg, who, in
company with Judge Doryal, was tax
Ing in the city. Mr.. Bussierus is a
lawyer by profession, and was looking
up a location. He had no sooner be-
held this city, examined her resources
and the large field for the practice of
his profession than he decided to drive
stakes right here. He returned to
/ Winnipeg Wednesday to pack his
books and household furniture and
will remove his wife and family to this
city as soon as possible. Mr.. Bussieres
is graduate Of the best law school in
New York state and also Of Montreal
in which city he has practised his pro.
|fession for the past five years. The
Commandments bespeaks for the
newcomers a hearty welcome from the
citizens Of Langdon and vicinity.
