Mr. John Hazard, collector of township rati-s for this township for the pastirvi-n ti-fii years, mot with an accident on Sat- urday which resulted in his death on Mot iUy. Mr. Hazard, it appears, went into his hay mow on Saturday to read, and full asleep. When ho awakened, be ing Mi.mcwhiit. ilmed, it w .supposed, he fell through a hole in the loft to the a'.v'j.c below, a diarauce of eitfht foot, striking and cutting hia head on some obbtrucliun and Uruiaii'X <** body badly.

The band concert on Wednesday even- ni',' of liw'. week was not the success it should have been oinx to the dilntori- ue of the Dundalk and Markdale twnds iu arriving. It *u 8.30 when Markdale arrived snd S.45 when Dundalk appeared on the scene. This waa a poor return for the promptitude with which the Flesh- rrton boys served their brethern of the other towns. Many citizens were detain- ed at home on this account who would have added their mitua to the funds, but owing to the lateness of the hour of st.irt- ing thought it more prudent to i;o to bed. Th evening was s.nuewhal cool, but the turnout was nevertheless fairly irood con- si'ieiiug all thiogs, the slot machine r-g- Uterini! about $34 Kroaa. R^freshiueuts were served to the muiiicians by the townspeople in the agricultural hall. As io the musical part f the program, tli.it wiui very nice indeed. The Dundalk band is an honor to the place of its birth and to its Denial bandmaster, Mr. Joe. I'.uka, who has placed it on an enviable fo..tiny. While Marktlale and Flevher- ton bands are sightly behind Dundalk in musical power they are *till institutions of which both lnwna have reason to be proud. Markdale has especially been l.iU.nn^ under diiudvantiiget owing to thi removal of several of its members, and adoption of new material. These reunions are very pleasant features for tho summer months, and in our opinion the bandit interested should ifive our peo- ple mora of iheui. But they should make it a point in Bach instance to be on the ground tt 7.30 at the least. PCR50NAL5. Minn Fitchell of Detroit is visiting with her brother-in-law, Mr \V.

Mr. Henderson will resume his duties with the North of Scotland Cana- dian Mortgage Company. His sojourn here has btsnetuted his health quite per- ceptibly. Fattier Sergeant Richard Spicer of the R >yal Canadi.ni Artillery, (jueboc, who is on a mouth's furl-u ,h,put a few days with his brother at Fhwhertou Station. Sergeant Spicer, whom, it may be re- membered, was oil a viMt to hut brother a year a^o, was, shortly after his return to hit battery, promoted to the much vu vied position of' Battery Farrier Serxeant, which is a signal proof of hu former good conduct, as well as the esteem evinced to- ward him by hm superioi officers, as promotion from gunner to sergeant, at one leap, is a rare occurrence in the service, and only attainable by extra good and uieritoiiou* conduct. Sergeant Spicer seems to appreciate a soldicr'a life as he hAM re-engaged to serve his Country for another tern;, and our advice to you, Dick, in, reipajn there a* loug MB you ar doing so wall.

As Mrs. S. said U> herself, what would my friends in Melancthon say could they behold a sight so wonderful, yet such is life in the British navy. The sergeant sud hia wife have yet two weeks to spend with their friends, when they return to Quebec, be to duty under the "Vet," aho to her do- mestic duties in the bai r ack room.
