-Hartley's entertainers gave
three very creditable performances
at the opera house last week, but
owing to the inclemency of the
weather but small crowds were in
attendance. They are at Fenni-
more and BOscobel this week.
Pursuant to the order made by

ing saloons, Marshal Budworth in

-Supt. w. J. Dyer of the asylum

a little boquet from the acting

a delegate from this state to the

and corrections to be held at Port
land from the 18th to the 22nd of

If it clears off in the night, look
for rain next day. If smoke from
the chimney settles instead OF rising
there is a storm at hand. When
the sound travels a long distance
there is also storm near. Never ex-

usually heavy dew are alike fore
runners of rain. If these signs don't
work see carpenter and get the
roof fixed.

remains of the delinquent. Bear
this warning in mind.

the plate with fearful velocity,
changes it's mind and coils around
the batter's neck, hitting the catch

about it is that it is bound to hit
