W. - Lerri` were arrested last week at Lefroy. 2 'I`hoseMach1neAgents. They had been negotiating the sale of the right for 3` Roulston s patent non-corrosive -washer " with one Joseph Crispin of that village who. seemed anxious. to become an agent. The terms were arranged to the ap- parent satisfaction of all the parties inter- ested, and William Crispin, the father of the newly appointed agent, agreed to become security for the faithful performance of the agency duties of his son. An agreement in writing was at once prepared and executed by Crispin, father and_ son. A. few days later they each received a notice from. a private bank-in Stayner saying that two pro-. missory notes for $126.06 each were dis- counted at the bank and payment at matur- ity was expected. The Crispins immediate- ly` saw how the sharpers had got the start of them, and at once caused an information to be laid and warrants issued` for their arrest under the Larceny Act. Constable Grose, with some diiculty, executed the warrant, but thepair made every effort to escape by the train and were frustrated by the conduct- or stopping the train. They were brought before J ustices Rogerson, Lucas, McKeggie, Allan and Grose, and after an unusually long hearing and examination of witnesses were committed for trial and are `now in jail. .They were brought before His Honor Judge IArdagh yesterday and "elected to be tried without a jury. Their trial is set for to- morrow and will be one of considerable in- terest to farmers and others in the habit of, doing business with agents for the sale of a patent.

M any persons whose names gure in history were_ pointed out as illustrations of the same truth, and no instance said the preacher can be shown that a man who dishonored God was honored evenvby men. The speaker was earnest and the people attentive. Blue Ribbon Beer. An immense quantity of Blue Ribbon beer or something else was consumed on Xmas Eve judging by the crowds of noisy and unsteadv persons on the streets late on that evening and early on Christmas morning. Filthy and blasphemous language made night hideous to the dwellers in many parts of the town and a number of tights are said to have occurred.

Stevens and Mr. Webb, son of the proprietor of the American Hotel, were driving past the Sal- vation `Army near the Points, the animal be- came alarmed at the beating of the drum. It started to run, and Mr. Stevens jumped l out taking the robe and whip with him, Young Webb remained in the cutter, and the horse took a bee line dewn Dunlop Street, the sharp . point of the steel runner striking the horse s fetlook at every jump. He was brought to a stand near the Tannery. During the run the breeching of the harness gave away, and some damage was done to the cutter, the most serious part is the in- jury to the horse. The esh was cut from the fetlock and some of the tendons severed. The animal lost a good deal of blood. A nightor two before, a horse came near,run- ning awav near the Queens Hotel from the same cause. i In view of these serious risks anvl dangex s it becomes an import: 11`. question whether this nonsensical parade should be tolerated on our streets. The following clipping from the Weekly ` Roller, Philadelphia, is very applicable .to young men who frequent our Barrie Roller Rink. We know of one instance and we suppose there are many more such, where a gentleman and his wife have stopped their attendance just from the lthy and disgust- ing habit which the fr: quent r. of -the rink have of spitting nasty tobacco promiscuously around the sides and upon the floor of the ` rink. Boys if you wish to make and keep the rink attractive stop the nasty ungentle- manly habit at the rink anyway. One of the most grevious causes for complaint_by lady patrons of roller rinks is the use of tobacco indulged in to a `svrprising extent by many men and boys. VVe are in receipt of several communications on this subject, two or three of whlch are written by ladies who claim to have sustained damage totheir clothing, while one lady alleges to have re- ceived a fall on account of having slipped on a surface fouled in this way. It is unneces- sary to publish these letters as no arguments are necessary to convince any gentleman that the-use of tobacco in roller rinks is un- questionably the greatest breach of etiquette he could commit, for he not only betrays his own ignorance and ill-breeding, but be inter- feres with the comfort and enjoyment of all respectable patrons. `It is a habit which has done as much to decrease the receipts of roller rinks as any other single cause which we could name. it being an undisputed fact that respectable ladies will not patronize any establishment where this lthy habit is in- dulged in. The absence of ladies from the roller rinks means a rapid decline and ialling off in the receipts, for no matter how general may be the attendance of men and boys it is but a question of a few months when the more desirable among them will cease their visits and transfer their patronage to more respectably conducted establishments. \Ve trust that rink managers will give this matter the'immediate and imperative attention a which it demands." U1 vq. ,new 1? lot d and ndry, play of holiday goods in the various shops ` was very ne and many of the windows were artistically` arranged and presented a beautiful appearance. Bothwell s Py *amid of sweets collected a cluster of boys, remind- ing one of bees round a sugar hogshead.
