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. Repair Shop !
