Wright, of that village. He is now an M, D. in Bellevue Hospital, New York, and Irom the loliowmg clipping, from the New York World of the 23d November, his many acquaintances will learn with pleasure tlie distinguished success which he has gained "Little two-year-old Wilson Shiffer, whose life was despaired of a few weeks ago, yesterday left Bellevue Hospital cured. He is the son of Jules W. Shiffer. a compositor on The World. In September last a pet dog jumped at the little one, catching him by the nose and knocking him over back- wards. Several Staten Island phy- sicians* examined the child. He barked like a dog and had other symptoms of' hydrophobia, but would drink water. The doctors were puzzled, and said they could do nothing. Then the child was taken to Bellevue Hospital. Several prominent physicicns became interest^ m the peculiar case, but 20uld not fathom the trouble. Finally young Dr. Wright, the house surgeon, solved the mystery. He dis- covered that the sections of the child's skull had not properly knitted in the rear whore the bone is softest, and that the edge of one section overlapped the other. The fall had aggrayated the pressure on the brain, and as the barking of the dog was the last thing impressed upon the little fellow's con- sciousness, he imitated in his. de. lirium and so gave raise to the hydro- phobia theory. Dr. Wright, by a system of compresses, forced the sec- tions apart and maintained them in the proper position until the edges united. With the removal of the pressure on the brain the boy's im- provement began, and yesterday after- noon Mr. Shiffer had the extreme pleasure of taking his little one home once more, rosy cheeked, well and ^appy. Miss Chichester, the nurse at fieJlevae who has watched over the :hild in its sofferings, actually cned at parting with her tiny charge. Alex. McLaughlan, of Shelburne, is starting a heueiy with 300 hens. The G. T. K. is about building an elevator at Midland with a capacity for 750,000. $475 was the receipts of Mt. Forest Methodist church anniversary services held last week. CoUingwood is to have either a large addition to the G. T. elevator there or a bran new one. CoUiiigwooQ wants a street railway but the county council has refused to grant assistance. The Dolierty Organ Co., of Clinton have offered to locate in Orillia for $40,000. A Buffalo buyer was in Shelburne last week aud purchased 1500 balsams for Christmas decorations. Bruce's large grain house at Beaver- ton was burned down on Saturday last with some 4,000 bushels of wheat. Wm. llutiedgp, of Mulmur, got his left hand, smashed in a cutting box last week and had to get two lingers amputated. A fire occured in the upper story of Wilson Bros, furniture warerooms in Owen Sound last Thursday morning which did some $2,000 damage before put under control. Frank O'Neighl, the burglar who was captured in Holland Centre last fall, had his trial at Owen Sound last week aud was sentenced to seven years hard labor iu the penitentiary. The Creemore Advertiser says that Plewes Spence, of Creemore Roller Mills, are making an average of 100 barrels of flour a day. Plewes is a brother of A. Plewes of Markdale. It Changing Their Resting Place. â€" Twenty years ago George L. Wright, father of Thorp Wright, and Mrs. Wil- liam Wright, of Flesherton, died and was interred in the burying ground at Markdale. One year ago last summer his wife, and mother of the aforesaid parties, died and was buried in St. ' Louis, it was decided to bring the old couple to Flesherton and place thetia side by side in the cemetery here, which was accomplished on Monday last, under the supervision of Mr. Van- zant. Mr. John Gilchrist, who assist- ed in removing Mr. Wrights' remains from Markdale, dug the grave for de- ceased t^venty years ago. â€" Advance. Bmln Basrg'ed. An army of one thousand men, more or less, congregated at Ormsby's swamp, 9th line. Euphrasia, on Tues- day last, fully resolved to capture the bear whicih has frequently of late been seen in that locality. But they were unsuccessful. On the afternoon of the same day Mr. J. E. Richards, ot Rock- lyn, in company with Messrs. John and Richie Gardiner, quietly wended their way to the woods of the latter gentleman, and iu less than two hours returned with a good sized bruin. Mr. Richie Gardiner chopped him out of his den, while Mr. Richards and Mr. John Gardiner stood sentry and simul- taneously fired the fatal shots. The two "whooped 'er up" in true Indian style when returning to the Capital with their "game," and there was big excitement for a time. Jack has pur- chased the claim of the Messrs, Gard- iner and will ship his bruinship to the Queen City for Xmas, if he does not decide to open up a Zoo at the Capital. FUN FOR SALE.
