Anetta o‘iétdiéiy'itrfictaalt The Peterborough Review-says :. " Bituminous coal has been discover- ed on the farm of Mr. William Crough, I of Ennismore township. It waslocated a low days ago by Mr. T. H. Crowley. of Sault Ste._ Manic, a. former. resident a hill on Mr. Crough’s place. The ,coal is said to be of good bituminous ; variety. It is said. to burn freely, and, it is believed, exists in large quantities on Mr. Crough’s farm. Further in- vestigations will be made, and the re- sult of these will be awaited with con- .siderable‘ interest.

But we will 'jcheerfully take back the word- “alleged,” -ifit can be proved that the scientists are wrong about coal; as they occasion- ally are about other things; in proof. of which we we lately read.

There is no. doubt whatever about a corporation be- ing responsible for accidents. caused by defects in sidewalks al'tcr attention has. been drawn to the existence of these de- fects, and, therefore, if any person get. hurt through the instrumentality of; one of the holes above mentioned, he or she can sue for damages with an almost. absolute certainty that they will be awarded. sidealks would be the placing, of a.
