Even men now living can scarcely believe their own senses when they make a comparison of things as they were \vith things as they are now. \Ve are surely living in an age of progress, not because the Grits are in power at Ottawa or the Tories at Toronto. The telegraph. the telephone, wireless telegraphy, steam locomotion. and the various uses of electricity, have all sprung upon us during the past century, and the end is not yet. Had our grandfathers. or even our fathers. been told that human thoughts and human feelings could be instantly transmitted to all parts of . the world they would laugh at the idea and regard the one who entertain- ed such a wildcat theory as a fit sub- ject for the lunatic asylum. The nov- elty of thing to us has well worn away, and it seems no source of won- der as we view the horseless carriage. Remnants and broken lines will be sold without regard to cost, of many patterns we have enough eft to paper one or two rooms.

Town pastures his cow and horse, no doubt with the intention of doing away with one or both of these animals should they partake of the poison. \\'hoever the miscreant is that is so mean as to attempt to do such a dastardly act on one of his fellow citizens should he found out and severely punished. As far as we have heard we were unaware that Mr. Town had any enemies in the. town, as he is always very courteous and obliging to his fellow citizens as well as to the travelling public, and we see no reason why anyone should attempt to poison his poor dumb ani- mals to get even, suppose some un- known person has a epite against him. Our only wish is that Mr. Town may find out the guilty party or parties and punish them to the full extent of the law. Hanging is far too good for anyone in their right mind who would stoop so low as to do a deed of this kind â€"Gorrie Vi- dette.
