Lou Starr has in the window of
his barber shop a happy family of
three canary birds. One of these
birds is of the wild species. having
been brought to the shop month ago
by farmer living north of town,
who found it, caught on wire fence,
one of the barbs having penetrated
one of its wings The boys in the
shop mended the injured wing as
we'll as possible and put the bird in
the window with two tame canaries
already occupants of the cage. The
bird, male, recovered and strange to
say takes kindly to his new home,
singing beautifully. This Is un-
usual, for a wild canary generally
lives but short time in captivity
and seldom sings if it does live.
The case of Chas H. Speas, of
Millville, vs. John Petty, of Water
loo, was heard before Justice Bur
rows, Monday. Mr.. Petty is charged
with unlawful breaking and entering
, into residence belonging to Speas.
{ The latter owns So acres in the town
ship of Waterloo, 2 acres of which are
i. not rented On these two acres is a
residence of which he claims that
Petty unlawfully took possession.
This case was a peculiar one in that
it did not admit of the usual preli-
mary hearing before justice when
the date is set set for both parties to
appear for the regular hearing. In
this case the law requires that both
parties should appear ready for trial
on the day which is usually given
over to the preliminary hearing.
Atty. Moses appeared for Speas who
had no witnesses present. Petty came
with witnes les and was represeted by
Atty. E. M. Lowry. After two
hours of federation it was agreed to
adjourn to the 18th at ten o'clock.
This case has excited much interest
both from the serious nature of the
charge, the penalty of which is not
! less than 800, and from the peculiar
} points of law involved. 1t is said
that uch a case has not been heard in
} justice court here for 80 years.

days ago with a would-be robber
that he will not soon forget. Mrs.
Bass and her granddaughter had arisen
to milk the COWS leaving Mr.. Bass in
the house and short time after leav-
ing the house had called to him to
come out and help her carry in the
milk. He fastened to comply with
her request but suddenly remembered

He started into an ajoining room to
do this but was surprised to see a tall
