While celebrating St. Andrews at Whitby one of our prominent men had the misfortune to sprain his leg. It was the fault of bad sidewalks or bad something. The corporation should look better after the walks as we cannot afford to have our men laid up with broken legs just on the eve of an election.
The Methodist church choir, with a few friends met at T. H. Wilson’s on Thursday evening to bid farewell to Mr. Thos. Courtice. Oysters were inaugurated in no small quantity.
