belonging to E. H. Reinhart last week,
killing Is. This makes 40 sheep he
has lost in the last II months by
worthless dogs Assessors should be

helps out, but only partially, as the
sheep are nearly all killed in the

third one had to be amputated by w.

The government has agreed to lease
for the po,tofice the room in the

year, provided the corporation
which owns the building, will make
certain improvements. The council
has decided to accept the terms, and
will spend 81 200 on the necessary

An announcement of a reduction
in toll on the bridge across the 20

This is considerable reduction and
makes the tolls very reasonable. The
public will appreciate it, and the
probability is that the increased trav-
ell will more than make up for the re-
duced rates. The full schedule may
be found in our advertising columns,
