Mr. Rose, foreman of the masons, expects to be through with his part of the work in about a month, and a strong force of men will then appear on the scene and the remaining girders will be put in place and the tics'nnd rails laid down, which will not take long.

Last Sunday morning about 7.30 Mr.‘ Neil McGilvray, while going down street, noticed that the front. door of the post- oifi'ee was aju-r; and when he opened it a little farther and. pecpcd in he saw a brace and bi‘tlying behind it on the floor. With his head full of burglars, he hurried to the residence of Mr. E. J. Kerr, our genial postmaster, who felt considerably less genial than usual when, upon going to. the ofiice, he found that a “sure enough " burglary had been committed during the night, which, it. will be remembered, was as dark, wet and windy as if the thieves had ordered it for the occasion. They had forced open the door with a chisel or- some other tool, blown open the safe with . powder poured through a small hole at the top just behind the door, and taken $285 post-cfii‘ce money, $121.90 in stumps, $70 and a silver watch belong- ing to Mr. Kerr, and four registered letters awaiting delivery, the contentslof all of which probably amounted to only a few dollars. The first assault had been made upon the safe door, in which the river, one has been lying for some ‘timc on this (the north) side, another is at the station, and the only. parts of the sections which, joined together, will form the “ swing.” The stonework looks strong enough to stand a thousand years, and the “ pivot-pier,” which is a and smooth enough-on top» to-be used, as a table, is certainly a triumph of the mason’s art.

But, if wood ranging, is a pleasant thing. wood owning must be more so still. particularly when the ownâ€" ership extends to hundreds of square miles. If we are not mistaken, the Boyd firm cleared over half a million dollars on some timber limits a few years ago, and, if they got the timber , down by the Gulf at. anything like a moderate price. it. is almost Certain that they have “ struck ile ” a second time.

A MOVING Smur.â€"The small house located until. a. few days ago On Mr. Thos. and Princess streets, is now in the mid dle oi the main street, .‘vir. Roberts: having determined to add it for a back kitchen to the house he now occupies. I'l‘he progress made so far in moving it has been» slow ;. but, now that it has TO THE Lannieâ€"See Mrs. R‘. Mc- . ,Roberts's lot at the comer of Colborne- _ ,' Nfill like there was a hole hear the handle, where the drill struck a chilled steel plate, and there were two marks of the drill close to the combination lock. The door was blown off with such violence that. the stove, with which it collided, was badly broken, but acanary-bird hanging in a cage from the ceiling, and within three feet of the front of the safe, was uniti- jured by the explosion, although the glass in the windows and over the letter 1 boxes was broken in several places. Two chisel‘s, a brace and a threequarter inch bit taken from Mr. pump factory and a brace from Mr. H. l’uley’s blacksmith shop were found in the post-ofiice. The burglary was prob- ably committed a little after 3 a. m. on Sun-day, as at that time Mr.J.S. Camp- bell, who lives upstairs ou the other side of the street, but a few rods farther north, heard a loud noise, followed by what sounded like the breaking of glass, which he thought was the result of damage of some kind that had been done by the storm. The rooms over the posbofliee and as far north as Twomey’s hotel are unoccupied at night, and on the south tliere’a-rc'only three detached one-story buildings liethen it and the canal.' Before visiting the post-oflice the burglars must'havc spent some hours in tho lowar room of the south ward school-house, the door of which they forced, as all the wood put in the box for Monday was burned, and three seats drawn up to the stove indicated that there were that many men in the party. To provide means of retreat they broke into the railway tool-house north of the station and borrowed a lorry, whichwas found on Sunday be- side the truck at the Lindsay junction, and just the other side ol Cameron the pursuing party picked up the ‘~ vault ” of the safe, which the thieves had taken with them and thrown away after break- ing it open and appropriating its conâ€" tents. Therc is no clew to the burglars, who as likezy as. not live in Lindsay, and some rough looking characters got otl'thc train at Cameron on Saturday ulternoon. An old Midland railway key was found near the tool-shed, on lthe lock of which it had probably been S. Brokenshirc’s- a resident of this village, in which he still owns property, returned on Tuesday last with the intention of remaining ' until Saturday. Thirty-seven- years ago on the lst ult. Mr. Vanuier entered the employment of the Boyd firm of Bob- caygeon, and has never since done a day's work for anyone else. Last fall the firm bought from the Quebec Gov- ernment nine hundred (900-) square miles of spruce timber limits on the shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, this side of Labrador and near the Island of Auticosti ;: and on the 1st. of April Mr. Vanuiet left to explore the limits and see what kind of a bonanza his employ ers had struck. A white man who went with him from here remained a few weeks and was then succeeded by a half-breed, who was with Mr. Vannier until he returned to civilization after an absence of six months, during which period he travelled through and across 600 square miles of the limits, leaving the other 300 square miles fora future visit, and, so far, has found the timber abundant and of good quality. The tract of landâ€"which, if square, would measure thirty miles each wayâ€"is watered by three or four rivers, which empty into the gulf and. are ed by numberless creeks, while here and there a little lake is to be found. All these waters are swarming with fi-sll ol all sizes, from speckled trout up to two or three pounds weight in the creeks to monstrous salmon sometimes as heavy as thirty pounds at the foot. of the rapids. Mr. Vaunier and his companion lived in a tent and travelled chiefly in a canoe, going about once a month to a Hudson Bay Co’s trading post for pro- visions. They saw neither deer nor hours, but caribous, beavers, otters, minks and .fishcrs were very numerous. To a man»â€"cspecially a young manâ€"’ confined to any ordinary business rou~ tino the life ol'a wood ranger appears enviable in the extreme, and In fine weather and under favorable circum- stances must be very plensant;but it makes a big differenceâ€"just the differ- ence between work and playâ€"whether anything is done from choice or neces- sity, and a few mouths’ or even weeks’ commenced to go down bill, it ought soon to reach its destination.

The sacred cdificu had been taSLef’ully decorated for the occasion, and was crowded with persons anxious to witness the solemn and interesting ceremony.

BAPTIST Passoxaen. â€" The new brick kitchen at the rear of the Baptist parsonage is nearly finished as far as the brickwork and carpenter work are concerned, but it still has to be plastered and painted, and will not be ready for occupation until about this time next month. The parsonage now contains a parlor, dining-room. pantry, kitchen, downstairs and upstairs halls, and four bedrooms, one of them the same size as the kitchen, 16 x 24 feet. Under the kite-hen is a cellar, warranted to keep vegetables from freezing in winter and milk from souring in sum- mer; there is a well of splendid water a few feet from the kitchen door, and a commodious woodshed is about to he- ercctcd. There is a large stable on the- lot, which contains a quarter of an acre, and the soil is just the right kind for gardening purposes. - S“ cm.“ 0, . “.2, é . l -,w4' * '“cz-.:J:;:?.~.Z:::<‘f., -‘¥:\G2?5‘£X\, :’ T . ,._ .
