cattle on rather an extensive scale, with.

Sampson Platt. OF the Woodstock Coal

is scarcity OF coal cars.
Among the miners who we're made happy
this week was Mr.. John Slattery. who was

present from bis sister who resides in Chi.

Several Of the young miners in the EN-.
ploy of the st. Bernard Coal Company were
laid off, last week. for failing to comply
with the rules and regulations governing
miners while at work. The enforcement
OF strict discipline will doubtless prove a
valuable warning to the boys.
That young miner who was caught ap-
propriating an article of value to his own
use. while the back of the merchant was
turned. had better reform before the habit
grows upon him and leads him into serious
trouble.
