A half glass of sweet milk containing a teaspoonful of red pepper, taken in the early stages of the disease, and if- neces- sary, repeat the dose occasionally. We are pleased to be able to say that Mrs. (Dr.) Syroule, who has been for several weeks as it were in the balance bat ween life and death, is now out of danger and making satisfactory progress towards recovery. Hrs. Sproule is a most estimable person and her serious illness caused a general feeling of anxiety. Last Sunday a dog ia one of the Guelph churches, the Mercury says, ac- companied tie choir and congregation in the singing of two verses of a hymn, but on the third he apparently got the hang of the tune and attempted to lead.

Several impoifcant cases were adjourned until next court day. His Honor, Judge Lane, being ill, appointed D.

A letter containing money was mailed without being registered at Markdale post-office some time ago by Miss Whit- by to Miss Maggie Wright, Toronto. The letter failed to reach its intended destinatioo, which caused considerable anxiety and not a little speculation as to where it had gone. Maggie Wright, thinking possibly the envelope address might have been incorrect, wrote to the Dead Letter office, and sure enough her suspicions were correct, and not only so but the letter within was signed Min., so that the authorities could not tell where to send it. After certain form- alities were attended to in reference to proper identification the letter and money were returned all O. K.
