Four men brought on a hand-car a young lad about 14 years of age. whose hand was badly ripped in a shingle mill. He was very weak through loss of blood, and sufi'ered much pain. Dr. Frost dressed the wounds and had him ready to start back on Sunday after- noon. He looked deathly pale as they laid him gently on the bed of quilts on the car, when be bid the sympathizing people an afiectionate good~bye, and they started up the track for home ...... On Saturday, while Mr. John Train was assisting in laying a track for carrying the lumber from the saw mill, two of the steel rails slid down and pinned the middle finger of his right hand fast to the ground. bursting the finger and smashing the bones.

CAMBRAY. A LAD INSTANTLY KILLED.â€"-A distres- sing occurrence took place in the town- ship of Hamilton on Tuesday morning, about one mile east of Noble Brown’s hotel, where a lad named William Davis, aged 14 years, met his death. The boy was hired at Mr. Jeremiah Lightle’s, about half a mile east of Garden Hill, and on Tuesday morning drove with Mr. Lightle to the place of the latter’s brother, Mr. William Lightle, in the township of Hamilton. Arriving there the boy was left outside to watch the horses. but it seems they became frightened in some manner, and ran down a steep and nar- row road which comes to an abrupt end at forming an angle with a road running in another direction. Here, however, the horses did not turn, but plunged into a rail fence. The boy was thrown out by the shock. and lighted on his head, sus- taining such severe injuries as caused, probably, immediate death. Certain it is when the scene of the disaster was reach- ed shortly afterwards the boy was found to be quite dead, with a deep wound over one eye and another on the top of his head. The horses lay in a mass of broken har- ness and rails. unable to rise.. They. however, were not seriously injured. The wagon, on which was a small load of seed oats, was badly broken up. The young lad was the eldest son of Mr. Wm. Davis. of the township of Hamilton, near Noble Brown’s.â€"Post. ACQUITTED.â€"Mr. G. M. Stephens, chief engineer of the fire brigade, and Arthur Bond, who were recently arrested charged with causing a fire as the Dunham house barns on the night of April lst. have been honorably acquitted. The charges had no foundation, and were simply based on hearsay. l THE PEDLAR NUISANCE.â€"The town has been infested by peddlers of late, who pester the housewife beyond en- durance. One who had a preparation to make hair grow on polished granite called on I. S. Murray. The peddler had been imbibbing a little and his vision was somewhat blurred so that he took the high, intellectual forehead of the tailor for a bald head and began his recitation on how much more re- spectable it would be for a man with afamily to have a roof on his head. Mr. Murray tried to convince the man that he had made a mistake but it only aggravated the pcddler who felt he was being advised contrary to his sense of sight. He refused to let up so Mr. Murray had no alternative than to kick him out into the street. Chief Hoover escorted him to the base line and on the way down the peddler tried to sell him a. bottle of his medi- cine to make his whiskers grow. but from last accounts he was following the sun as It sank to rest, and had made no sales.â€"Chronicle.

Little Lizzie Murray, the six-yearâ€"old child of Mr. M. Murray, Reid-st, township clerk of Ennis- more, but who has been residing in town for over a year, to-day lies cold in death, the rcsul: of the foolish playfulness of children. About five o’clock Thursday afternoon the news spread about the streets tlat a child had been drowned in the river near the bridge works. The child had wandered away from her home on Reid-it. with some companions to the river bank at the C.P.R, bridge. They played abng the shore and soon discover- ed a canoe face downwards, some few feet from the water. They turned it over and succeeded in bringing it to the river’s edge. Liztle Lizzie Murray stepped into the canoe and with childish glee called upon the other children to get on board, for the mnment filling. to her intense delight, the captaincy of the frail craft. While Lizzie was in the canoe, Annie Gordon.lallopted daughter of N ightwatch~ man Gordon, never dreaming of the results, shoved the boat out into the river and it wasnot long before it was gliding down the river. being carried along rapid- ly by the svift current. The little occu- pant became nervous and then terribly excited. an! ro doubt, realizing that she would be carried out into the lake, jumped from the boat, a few feet north of the C.P.R. bridge. The children on the shore were frightened and their screams drew the attention of others. The child floated down the river, the swift current carrying her slmestopposite the Matthew’s Pork Packing factory, when she disap- peared and nevor rose again. As the little girl was beirg carried down the river a young lad, Edd'n Cassid y, made a bold attempt to rescue the child but the cold water benumbed him. He swam bravely on when he was ieized with cramps and had to return to the shore. .Bert Guy also endeavored t3 rescue the child but‘ the cold water ovdrcame him and he was also reluctantly diven back to the wharf. By this time the’child had disappeared but Guy and Cassily, with Johnnie Burns, 1 started out in a pint. in a brave efi'ort to “ rescue her if she arose but they never saw her again. The giant began to fill with water and the loys had difficulty in making land. Th! child’s parents were immediately notifiid of the fatality, and thedistressed fathe- with some friends at once began a seanh for his daughter. The child-play whhh resulted so sadly gives a peculiarly ad and pathetic aspect to the accidentsâ€"Leview across by boat. SomrNo’rEs ABOUT THE COUNTRY.â€" At thiswriting (April 14th) the roads are very bid. with thick heavy anw drifts and also much country bare of snow. There it no possibility of seeding for at least a veek or ten days. Very different from the spring of 1892. When we came about tiis time there was scarcely a sign jof snowTand a lot of wheat stood in stock lfrom he big harvest of ’91. We saw ‘good wheat sold after we came for 25c a bushel, and you could get wheat later ‘for ten cents a bag. There was no measuring or weighing in many cases. Next year (1893) the railroad being able \to carry grainout the price raised some. ‘In 1894 36c was paid for choice wheat. In 1895 the market was more severe as to quality. Ionly got 32c for my best ; ibut prices vere better in the spring. iSwarthy ara'n sold for 180. In 1896 our crops were good, not extra, but the price Went up to 68¢. Now I think that we have done well to hold our own with such low prices to begin with. and many had gone in :lebt toc freely, seeing the heaps of grain on every hand from the 1891 crops. I might say here that a few got discouraged and left, and are now re- turning. Tm families from Dakota are commencing igaiu on their old home- stead, wiser 811d better for their trip, in contentment if not in pocket. A man must have faith in this country to succeed here, not eaa'ly discouraged and not afraid to work My experience has been hard, because I built too high on my chances, but the experience is now worth it all, and I Am now in good shape for the future. The country is filling with the best class of people. We have just had a revival. The Rev. Mr. Christmas, Evangelist, Wis assisted by the Presby- terian and Mezhodist ministers. He said he had been tvice around the world, but such a revival he had never seen tor the population aid one man said he could count all that vas left on his one hand. The schools ire open for the summer now. Very chV have been able to keep open this winta. A new school district can be opened if there is seven children to attend or over that number. The school taxes hardly ever exceed $5 per quarter section on an average. that such laws are a failure if certain parties boldly dng or evade them, or if nobody gets Into jail through the operatioh of the 13W. The same parties always cbject- to. any restriction that is being pltced on the liquor traffic, and [hey invuiably urge in favor of letting h3usvs of prostitution take their course lest drivng them out of one locality wnll scatter them over many. We believe the curfew will have a. good educative tendency. It will suggest a. proper bedtime for all children and young people. It will nightly proclaim against immorality. It will mark the hour when all people should becorne quiet in order that there may be rest.

UBITUARY.â€"Grim death has entered our midst: all unbidden and unexpectedly, 'snatching from us a dear boy whom we all 10ved and whom we sorely miss. John Stacey, Jr.. son of Councillor Stacey. died on Tuesday, April 13th, after a brief illness, lasting hardly a week. The blow has been a sudden and a hard one and though it has left us weak :yet we are trustful also, bowing submis- jsively under the rod. knowing that He who chastens is too wise to err. and too ‘good and loving to do us aught but kind- ; ness and are Comforted to think that what we know not now we shall know here- after. God, in his infinite mercy, having wlSely hidden from us that which we do not now know or understand. John’s unusual abilities, his free and affectionate disposition. his wit and geniality has gained him hosts of acquaintances and all who knew him loved him. Ho was everybody’s favorite and now that he has gone everyone seems heart broken. Seldom. indeed, has grief been more universal. He attended school during the winter and at the school concert was the most popular reciter 0f the evening. Many who then heard him for the last time will treasure as sacred memories the impressions received of him that night. His chcsen occupation was that of a machinist. In this line he was exceptionally talented and had just started on his third summer’s engage- ment with Mr. I. McKee at the foundry at Little Britain, where he was suddenly seized with what proved to be a fatal illness. He looked forward with great pleasure to his summer’s work after which ‘he hoped to further indulge in studying ibis favorite hobby. that of engineering. ‘That his was more than ordinary ability is plainly shown by the fact that although at his death he was not 19 years of age he had successfully acted as a practical engineer for the past three seasons. It makes it seem doubly sad when one is taken who has such unusual talent and the promise of a brilliant future but we can say His will, not ours, be done, know- ing that God's plans are best and that in the great school above the talents of our loved ones will be developed in a manner incomparable to that of any earthly school of science. His sickness was accompanied by intense inflammation attended With the most acute pain all of which the sufferer bore without a murmur. his characteristic courage and pluck keeping him brave and cheerful until the last. All that skill and care could accomplish was done, as a last resort an operation was performed by Drs. Vrooman and Hall, but death was not to be thwarted. John said. when he knew that his illness was to terminate fatally. “I am ready to die anytime.” realizing that through the intercession of a merciful Saviour he had been fully pardoned. The funeral on Wednesday was exceptionally large, the entire community turning out to show their respect for the dead and to sympa- thize with those who were bereaved. Rev. B. F. Stratton preached a conscience-thrilling sermon from the words, “My days are past,” my purposes are cut off. The mortal remains of the loved one were tenderly laid to rest in Zion churchyard, and though he will be greatly missedyet we realize that it will THE ICE.-â€"The $06 on Sturgeon lake go: a. great shaking up on Monday, and the shores weze plied up high with great blacks of ice. ions In wexght.

When the banks are at all sloppiug, it sweeps up the land, cutting 011 trees like pipe stems, and roll~ ing huge rocks like children’s marbles. Tuesday morning the steam yacht Calumet steamed out to see what the waters of the great lake were like. The waters were found 10 be of much the same wetness as usual, and no perceptable change was observed in its floating capacity. The lake was not entirely free from ice, and there was sufficient to prevent a passage to Lindsay. Engineer Graham had his machinery in good trim and the boat seemed to shake itself out, as if eager for a summer’s frolic.

Why is it that in infancy we delight in hiding our shoes and stockings under the sidewalk, and go skipping and pranc- ing among nails, smashed bottles, and and broken stone in our bare feet, while yet the snow and ice lurks in the shaddy nook behind the ash barrel.
