DUNNVILLE ITEMS.

Jack frost is again seen on our streets. Mrs. Chas. Miles was crippled Monday, while assisting her husband in loading a wagon. John Shires and his sister, who for some weeks had been confined to their beds with pneumonia, are at this whtiDg slowly improving. Geo. Beleher is still working for the good of his fellow-men. liis latest effort was the bidding in of a township ditch at 4 cents per yard. Thus raising wages to at least 17 cts. a day. Milton Jones was holding the reins, Monday, in the leading dry goods establishment of our town. Henry Ferril had the misfortune Saturday, to over-turn his wagon, which resulted in the breaking of his arm in two places. The big fire west of us is said to have done great • amage Saturday and Sunday. The amount of damage cannot yet be ascertained. Tis ever true that history repeats itself. We find recorded in holy writ, an instance in which a certain King’s servant seized his fellow-ser-vant by the throat, saying “Pay that thou Owest,” a repetition of which we had in our vicinity, recently, when a professed servant of King Immanuel seized his old and feeble brother under the Jaw, almost if not quite dislocating it, because he bad not the wherewitn to pay that which he owed. However he said, “If you don’t pay it I’ll maul ye inf th’ yearth, yes sir.” So ’tis ever thus that history repeats itself. There is nothing new under the sun, but all is vanity of vanities, so saith the wise man.
