—A band of gypsies camped Monday
on the flats west of the iron bridge for a
few hours. They did not stay long, but
sufficiently so to visit most of our villagers
and bother tbem in an attempt to sell lace
at three times its proper. value. Charity
ie a good wide plank in our make up, we
believe, yet we hesitate not in saying that
it is decidedly wrong to extend assistance
un til one is sure that the recipient is
worthy. Some will argue that we should
nothesitate to .become versed on that
point, but if we weretoextend charity to
everyone that"�bears the semblance of
need, the entire universe would assume
that garb, and we would all develop into
a gang of beggars "it thieves.. In small
_places likePickeringwe have very few
families. who are. really..dieing_ofstarva
tion,. but .there. are homes but scantily
provided with the bare -necessities of life;
in every village, and thesebhould demand
our first attention, if we have enough and
to scare:. There are well. to do residents
in every, village and town whe will put
themselves about to contribute funds that
tLey aretold will go to clothe the
heathen, -yet if a poor buthonest man asks
fire a days work cutting wood or digging
:gnrden, he has to do ,the same at depart
it ntal store prices or be denied a. hear.
41 These facts we would respectfully
eu'L n nd tv the attentionig our readers,
—Of all the tough looking, degraded,
dirty, down at tbe•heel looking crowds
tbat ever drifted into the village on any
previous occasion, the Rang that visited
us on Monday afternoon should have no
trouble in obtaining the medal, if per.
chance one were offered. There were
some thirty.five individuals in the party,
mostly females, and children, with just
enough men to lead the beare and do
other light work, the gentler sea being
compelled to bear the burdens, do the
begging and look after the children.
They spoke some kind of a broken French
and were corkers at soliciting alma, and
just as great a success at granting bless-
ings when assistance was extended.
Where "obarity" was refused the lang.
uage was rather the reverse. They had
a baboon, four bears and six horses.
Why such people are allowed to land in
ourcountry we are at a lose to know, as
they.. are neither an ornament or of use,
and of course meet be ted, even if they
are compelled to steal it. For a time we
were fearful lest they turned north on the
Brock road, and attempted to spend the
winter. in some of the swamps in the
township, but we now feel relieved as
they have gone west, and state that that'
will proceed to Toronto. They camped
Monday evening in Peter Auuan's woods
.wept and south of Dunbarton. But their
stay there would be short as the people
of that locality .would not hesitate long
in order'ug them on.
—Thursday afternoon a stranger drove
into town from the west and put up his
horse and buggy at the Gordon House.
He registered as J. Johnston, of Mail R
Empire, Toronto. He claimed to be an
agent for that paper, but was i little short
of cash. Being of good appearance he had
little difficulty in borrowing $2 from
Landlord Gordon until his return from
Port Perry, to which place he took train
that same evening, after getting his sup•
per and ordering the horse cared for over
night. When the evening papers arrived
....table Decker noticed that a fellow
purporting to be an agent for the Mail
& Empire had been doing hotel men and
others in the 'western part of the Pro-
vinoe. He and Landlord Gordon at once
drove to Whitby but could not find out
anything as to the man or his business,
Prom a fellow paaaenger it was found
that "Johnston" had gone to Port Perry,
but all further trace of him was lost. On
Monday liveryman Oamplin, from the
city, drove down and claimed the horse
and buggy. He stated that the mis•
crocus's name was Mitchell and that his
people live in Port Perry, but as be was
worthless concluded not to follow him.
Landlord Gordon is now daily expecting
a registered letter with the 62 enclosed.
Up to time of going to prose he had not
received is, however.
—Great indeed was the consternation
among our villagers on Friday at the an.
nouncement that Abram Ellis had com-
mitted suicide. It was known that he
was at times out of his mind, and when
conscious, exceedingly melancholy, but
such a thing as suicide was not for a mo.
ment thought of. Friday morning he
arose in his usual mood, dressed and
went to the barn, and in a few minutes
was found with his throat severed from
ear to ear. A butcher's knife was the
weapon employed, he having sharpened
it purposely. The unfortunate man was
removed to the house and medical aegis.
tance called, but nothing could be done,
as the head was almost severed from the
shoulders. He lingered until about 9
p.m., when death came -to his assistance.
Deceased has been suffering from some
stomach trouble for the past number of
years, and has tried great many .reme-
dies, and been treated by a number of
doctors, but found no relief, His finan.
eial standing was in no way calculated to
cause the rash act, as he was comfortably
provided for. He leaves a wife and two
grown up eons who are deeply sympathiz.
ed with by all in the neigbborhood. The
interment was made at St. George's ceme-
tery on Monday at 12 o'clock.
