Visit to Culling- Wood last week and while there met with a little experience that will keep green in his memory for some time to come his jaunt to the. lakeside town. The Enterprise of Thursday last re- ported the incident as follows: “ At the police Court yesterday morning David MeKeelmie, J r.. was tried on a very serious charge, that of forcibly robbing a man named Porteous of a purse containing $24.00, to which the prisoner pleaded “not guilty.” The evidence went to show that Porteous, who is an old man of 76 years, arrived by train on Monday on a visit to some friends. Mr. Porteous had not been in Collingwood since the opening of the H. N. \V. Railway and was in- nocent and unacquainted with the evil ways of city life. He went to the Arlington Hotel and enquired as to where he would find one Sherwood. McKechnie volunteered to show him the way and instead of doing so led him to the town park and forcibly relieved him of his pocket book. Por- teous at once reported the matter to Chief “'ild and McKechnie was located. The prisoner testified that he had been drinking hard and did not know that he had taken the money. He withdrew his first plea and pleaded guilty. The Magistrate dismissed the case. on McKechnie paying back the money taken and paying all costs.” A term in the Central Prison would have. been a wholesome lesson for the oflender.-â€"Flesherton Cor.

The costume was the same as they had here, and it was much admired in the sister town. We omitted last week to mention the scenery used in connection with the play. It was home-made and the artistic work of Mr. H. H. Mockler, who, it seems, would do well as a scenic artist. The Company took the scenery with them to Walkerton.

During the evening ice cream and cake were served. Everybody was measured and paid according to their height which netted the treasury ten dollars. Mr. Allan Bell was chairman and everything went off with a ring. THE Russell House, Ottawa, was damaged by fire last \Vednesday morning to the extent of $3500.
