THE merchants in Durham have! decided to’ close their stores at 7 p. m., Saturdays excepted, during the summer months.

The peOple of Canada are not sur-l prised that the Jubilee portrait of the Queen gotten out by the Mont- real Star, and the Star Jubilee Medal of solid aluminum, are carrying everything before them.

On June 12th Mrs. W. Benton 're- ceived an unsigned letter accusing her of writing several anonymous letters. Had the letters been signed Mrs. Bent-on would have made a per- sonal denial but as she has no know- ledge of the writer’s name she feels it necessary to deny the ' charge through the press by saying the writer is mistaken as she never] ‘sent an unsigned letter to anyone in 1 her life. LAST week we gave an account of the marriage of a daughter of Mr. Boyce, of Crawford. and this week we regret to learn of the sudden and, unexpected death of a married daughter living' in the vicinity of Mt. Forest. We have not learned the particulars, btt -no matter in what form it may come death is always a sad unwelcome visitor. Our joys and sorrows often meet in g this life. We extend our sympathies He the bereaved friends. ON Saturday evening last about 2 half past seven o’clock, when the 1 streets were lined with teams, the l shOps crowded with purchasers, the 1 sidewalks crowed with pleasure seek- 1 ing pedestrians, the excited cry rose « above the general turmoil, that a ' team was running away. Surel ,enough down the Durham hill a pair {of firey young chargers with wagon i. and hay rack attached were rushing Emadly towards the busy thorough- .fare below. Death or destruction :seemed certain. No visible hand iguided the infuriated animals. A inearer approach however revealed ‘ the figure of the owner, Mr. Thomas ,Wallace, Varney, in the bottom of {the wagon tugging with might and imain, to check their speed. With , s the presence of mind characterestic of ‘l a gritty little Irishman, he gave his ’ E attention to the public safety, man- aged the strings so as to keep the horses in the only clear space to, be , found, and the horses were allowed, tlto go. South of the town they were I‘ brought toa standstill and Tom’s r skill in horsemanship was the tapic 1, on every tongue. No one was hurt, .0 the horsesand wagoncgtneontsafe. LOCAL NEWS.
