Some time ago iiie sJkatchewan Valley was like a large latcber shop, where the Indians could go sttong the buffalo herds and get all the food ilK needetl and also clothes. When the vthitemen came into the land the old Indian uanie cnst«ms were disregarded, and the kffalo gradually became very scarce. What W the GoTemment given them instead?

Woods, a lumberman, who formerly lived ou the St. Vincent road near the railway track, and twelve or fifteen years ago deserted his wife and family. It now turns out that ha found hib way to Colorado, where he married a^am without the formality of a divorce. In 1880 he was one of the three discoverers of the celebrated Emma Mine. He died in Ootober of that year, and his supposed widow there sold her own-third interest in the mine to Maoijy Co. of New York. The mine was afterwards found to be immensely rich, the profits for some time past, over ail expenses, $100,000 per month. Recently. Mr. Moody of ColoradD, who acted as solicitor for the supposed Mrs. Woods there, discovered that she had noclaim, as Mr. Wood had left a widow in Canada, somewhere iu the vicinity of Collinj[wood or Uwen Sound. He immediately startled for Canada, and when he got to CoHiugwood discovered that he was sliadowed by Piokerton detectives in the interest of Macky Go. From there be telegrapiied to Owen Sound, and discove.ied that the person he wi^nted resided here, gettino ail answer from the former Mrs. Woods, who in 1882 was married again to Mr. Wm. Billings of this town. He took the train for Meaford and stage for Owen Sound but the detectives in some way discovered his telegram, were on the ti^in with him, and takini; a special rig {pom Meaford were here ahead of hiiQ. As soon as he got here, he vcen^ to the telegraph offiice, and paid the «aessage boy to show hi J I where th«» lady lived who sent the telegram to (Jolhngwood. As thej were on the way, when they tiurned a coorner the boy pointed tu a man coming the other way, and said, "There's a man who got me a few minutes ago to show him tlie sam.a place." The wily detective had got abaad, and showing Mrs. Billings hi% badge as a Hnkerton detectiye, wun,Qd. her that there was a man coming to, try and cheat her, but to have nothini^ to do with him Thus perplex^ between the iwo, Mrs. Billings waa pnzaled what to do, but tlie result was that the detective came out^troontpttfu^ for the time, and got a qpit d^iua d«ed made to Macky C^. for SLCompatative • ly trifling amount. However, there is likely to be a big lafw-suit growing out of the affair, and it is to be hoped Mrs. Billings will get the fortune which of right belongs to "'r-^here are several children of Mr./Woods, who have moved awaj from town, and they will be entitled to an equal share with theuTjnother.-^tnwwSoiwrf 2t«sfcf Scotch Highlanders have the habit when talking their Engliah of inter- spersing the pervonal pronoun "he" when n3t required, such as "The king he has come."

Mt. who be^an his discourse thus My friends you will find my text in the first epistle general of Peter, fifth chapter and eight verse. "The devil he goweth about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour." Now, my brethern, for our instruc- tion I havc diided my text into four heads. Firstly, we shall endeavor to ascertain who the devil he was Secondly, we sh°ll enquire into his geographical position, namely, where the devil he was going Thirdly, who the devil he was seeking And fourth- ly, and lastly, we phnll endeavor to solve a question which has never yet been solved, what the devil he was "roaring about."
