Tbamps. â€" On Wednesday night 13th a number of tramps broke into the Orange Hall, Holland Centre, and demanded a nights lodging from the Goat, which was unwillingly granted* The, following morning the goat's boss was informed of the intrusion when a complaint was lodged with the J. P., and a warrant issued for the capture of the guilty ones, Constables, Yogan, Greenaway, Telford and Dunbar were at once dispatched m persuit of the fugitives. Dunbar captured two, but, to his great chagrin they both made, good their escape. The other three were, however, arrested and tried be- fore Justice Price and Hamilton, and sentenced to three days imprisonment in gaol, thereby securing for them- selves,' (the prisoners) board and lod- ging for that length of time, together with a firee ride to Owen Sound,while their mbre unfortunate chun:s who escaped had to fort it or pay for or beg their rations. The Queen of course paid the costs oi the court. Damage to hall a broken lock and chewed drumstick. Thbbb is a big lawsuit on hand between the 0, S. Steamship Com- pany and the C. P. R. When the O. S. Steamship Company was on^nized, an agreement was entered into with the Toronto, Grey and Bruce, by which they were to haye the exclusive right to carry freight to and from the railway at Owen Sound for three years. When the T. G. B. R. became absorbed in the Onterio and Quebec, the latter road assumed the agreement. Meanwhile the C. P. R. constructed their stee steamers, and though it was at first announced diat they would run from Algoma Mills, Owen Sound was found to be the inore convenient place, and they were bro- ught here. While our oitisen« gen- enJly were rejoicing that ^ese magnificent boale wrae making our harbor their headqaarters, the 0. B. Steamship Co. were concerned for their agreement, which was interfered with by the new anangement, and failing to get any satisfaction from the C. P. R. as well as having some other claims unsettled, on Monday they issued a wnt for $40,000 for services rendered, and $160,000 for alleaged breach, of contract, .retuning D. McCarthy, Q. C. and Chas.

And there came a day when the young man with the lead pencil l^s and high water panto bethought hmi of the skating rink. So he went out, and when he came nigh unto his girl he spake, saying "Comet Mary, let us gird ourselves up and go hence to the rink, for behold I have been diligent in my absence acd embezzled two coupons." So they Wentt one with ihe other, for they loved each other with love the great* ness of which was like unto death. And when the youth and maiden were come unto the rink they saw divers other young men and maidens waltzing hither and thither and standing upon their necks, and spreading themselves iipon the floor to the four corners of the place. And Mary wa^ pleased thereat^ for she saw the other maidens sticking ' to their escorts closer than boiler rivets. And bhe longed for some of the same agony. So she prevailed upon her lover to go and do likewise. And he went with a light heart, tor he loved the sport because he had been there be- fore and knew the whichuess thereof. And after a little while he returned and took Mary's feet upon his lap and fastened the skates thereon. And in like manner he did unto his own feet. Then they smiled one upon the other and went upon their slippery way. And when they had got out where the eyes of the multitude were upon them Mary forgot herself and looked back. Now, this was a grievous thing to do, for it was written on the wall 'Thou Shalt not look back when thou skatest lest thy feet forsake the and tread upon thine ear." But Mary was full of joy and chocol- ate caramels and remembered net these things. And when she looked back her feet flew from under her, and went up into the atmosphere and cut a star therein, and descended with a great crash and Mary, sat down on the thud, so that her bustle escaped and came put at the neck of her dress. And her fall was exceedingly hard ea, great was the muchness thereof. So likewise had her lover spilled himself, but he hurt himself not, for he had been like the seven wise skaters who had put co^ soles in the basement of their tsous^s. But in an evil moment he saw Mary's bustle about her neck, and he lifted up his voice and laughed and asked her from whence came the chaff bag. Then was Mary wroth, and she grew red in the countenance, and answered saying: Thon leadest me into slippery paths, and when the floor riseth up and striketh me in a grievous place thou cemest not to my aid ;. yea, thou gurglest at my misfortune. Henceforth we shall remain together a little closer off. And firom that day unto this she paiseth him by on the other side of the avenue. 1 •â- Â» tc PARNEbb."
