The Presbyterian Sabbath school en- tertainment on the evening of Christmas day goes uu record as another successful event, the proceeds amounting to $65.50.

Whewell's yield of grain out west got all mixed up. They were written from memory and that is not always reliable.

Notice to the Public There has been underhand work done by one of the town blacksmith.s, it being brought to my notice by a friend . Since we raised the price of horseshoeing three years ago 1 have charged every man alike while the other shop has been doipg underhand business, charging some the old price uud charging others the raised Erice. Now, gentlemen, I think thuti,in usiness one man h;is just as good a right to get as much for his dolbvr as anotli^r, not having to pay more than his neigh- bor, 80 to protect those as far as I gan, I will drop the price to the old figure and as before use every man alike. Wishing you all the compliments of the season, I remain your obedient serv>nt, â€" H. WILSON, Blacksmith, Flesherton A Mad Dog Story A mad dog scare that partook of the burlesque was pulled otf south of Flesh- erton on Monday and as a result several people are wearing a sheepish air for the balance of the week. Mr. Geo. Binnie, of Saugeen Junction, liad occasion to drive to town. He is the possessor of a very fine collie dog, and after departing from home the dog decided to follow its its master, so he took up the trail and ran as fast as a collie dog can run in order to catch up. When he struck the gravel road he veered to thoright,inste.ad of the left, and lost the trail. His route then took him into a certain gentleman's premises. As the doggie was pretty well heated up by his exertions, the gentle- man aforesaid jumped to the conclusion that he was mad. The dog left immedi- ately and the gentleman jumped into his cutter and followed the animal, shouting "mad dog." It is said the procession of dog and cutter went down the gravel road at a speed that would do honor to the C.P.R., and the chase was more ex- citing than a fox hunt. The chase led right through Proton Station, and when it arrived there the shout of " mad dog " brought out fourteen men loaded down with muskets, pitchforks and other im- plements of warfare. At the west back line collie started north for home with the regiment after him in hot pursuit. The collie distanced them all, however, and got to his dog house safely after bis six-mile run without havini; been shot, pitchforked or killed in any way â€" and he was a thankful dog. No doubt when he thought it over he was mad all right â€" but it was not a case of rabies. No doubt, too, when the mystery was cleared up there were some men quite as mad as the dog. Division Court Division Court was he'd here before Judge Widdifield on Wednesday of last week when the following cases were up for hearing : Jacobs vs Karstedt â€" A disputed account for some fur garments. The plaintiff was from Montreal and was present to o ok after his interests. The claim was $87.90 Judgment was given plaintiff for $30,00 and cust.s. Wideman vs Wiltonâ€" Claim of $.•«), dispute about timber. Judgment re- served. 3ooper vs Radley â€" Another timber dispute, claim $12.00. Judgment re- served. Waters \s Cann â€" Action on counter claim for $46.05. Jud>;meut fur defend- ant for $11 50. Cooper vs Genoe â€" Claim for bslance due cm contract for building baru. The defence whs that ceitain portions of the Wiirk had not been done iu a workman- like way and this bttlaDce was retained. Judgment was reserved. Wiight vs Symes â€" Wriffht claimed to have engaged to do threshing for Symea, who latt-r secured another machine for the work. Wright sued for $10.00 fnr loss of time. The contract was not proven and the action was dismissed with- out costs. W. Phillips did not appear on a show cause suDunoiia and wa.t cnmmiited t'l Owen Sound jail f>'r twenty days. At Pres(iue Isle last woi>k a wholeasU turkey robbery was frustrated when one of the participants was shot in the knea by a man whose turkey roost had been visited. It seems lliat the wounded man, who was taken to Owen Sound hospital, had quite a reputation in Keppsl mh a law breaker, and when accosted by the man with the gun he firmly declined to give ep the liiolen fiwl. There was quite a wagon load of the Christmas birds, and tLe hau had all the earmarks of being a profitable I'.e until the man with the shot gua uppv'aieu on the scene. The other men iu the escapade made tracks fur fair- er fields when headed off, leaving cheir wounded paitner l«* shift for himself. A police court case is on the tapis xa soon as the injured man is sutficieatly recovered to face the music. It is twliev- ed the wound is quite serious, and there is a p;)ssibility that a surgical operation will have to be performed. â€" Wiarton Cauadian. Eruis Jones, formerly of Rivervi«w, fell fifty feet iu an elevator at Grenfe', Saak., and was killed. His widow, form- erly a Miss Mitchell of Cedarville, and four small children survive.
