•4 Thief Chenled. — The etory of whittling out 

 shoe-pe^fs and sellinj; them for oats, reminds ine of 

 a YankeH pedlar, who slopped for the night at a 

 public house, and, like nil othf-r humane travellers, 

 went to the stable before retiring for the niflit, to 

 see how dobbin fared. On his way to the stall, he 

 came in contact with a country wngon, loaded, as 

 he suppo.sed, from the feeling ot the bags, with 

 oats. Now, a Yankee pedlar is the last man on 

 earth to let his nag go hungry when there la plenty 

 of provender within reach. Quick as thought, his 

 plan was laid, and as quickly executed. A bag 

 was taken from the stranger's wagon, the mouth 

 untied, and dobbin's trough very liberally supplied 

 with its contents. The next morning, the coun- 

 tryman observed that liis bags had been misplaced, 

 and a part of hia cargo missing. Circumstances 

 led him to suspect the pedlar aforesaid, and on ex- 

 amination of the premises, a half bushel of slioe 

 ptgs of which his load was composed, was found 

 under dobbin's nose, unlasted and undamaged. 

 The pedlar sloped before breakfast. — Bangor H hig.

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has beeii quite an improvement made on the shoe,
