A sad accident ‘occurred on this line of railway, about eight miles north of Flesherton Station, on Wed- nesday evening of last week. Mr. Thomas Brown, who lived on the Toronto and Sydenham Road, 1} miles north 0! Markdale, owns land on both sides of the '1‘. « S. B... and the C. P. R. crosses the western sec- tion of this lot. Mr. Brown for con- venience, had a private crossing over the railway, and on the after- noon in question had driven some cattle over the track to pasture, and was returning home when the ac- cident occurred. It appears while crossing the track something attract- ed his attention and he stood at the side of the track to examine it. At the moment the lightning express bore down upon him and some part of the engine struck him near the hip throwing him a considerable distance. The tram was stepped and the injur- ed man, who was insensible. was picked up and brought to Murkdale, win-re medical aid was procured. but moved unavailing. Death ensued about an hour and shall after the accident. One arm was broken in two places. the head badly injured and the body terribly broken and bruised. Mr Brown was an old man about (5.3 years of age and somewhat crippled. He leaves a widow. one son and two daughters. Dr. Christos coroner of the place. was notified, but did not think an inquest necesâ€" sary. Deceased was an uncle of Mr. Fred Brown, Who lives nea r Flesher- ton. - Flesherton Advance.

A few days ago a rich- ly dressed lady appeared at the lace counter of '1‘. Eaton 8t (30., and selected $40 worth of very eXpensive laces and in payment tendered a $1000 bill or Treasury note. The young lady cashier very prudently dc-clined to send back such alarge balance until the bill was approved by higher authority then herself. The note was taken to Mr. Eaton who submitted it to the banker and was pronounced genuine. By the time the bill was brought back to the lace department the lady was in a towering rage at being suspected and delayed so long, and grabbed the bill threatened to leave without tak- ing her purchases. Mr. Eaton was at once sent for, and tendered apol- Ogies and explanations which im- mediately calmed the lady's fury and taking up her parsel gave 3. $1000 note and waited until she received‘ her balance of $960. The lady had retained the bill which was examined by the bankers and paid for the goods with a counterfeit. The fraud was not discovered for two days and no doubt Mr. Eaton is very anxious to know who and were the lady is.-Ex.- An interment was made in the Hanover cemetery on Tuesday in 1 which the events preceding the act lare clouded with haze of obscurity iand unnaturalness. The following particulars are obtained from a couple ,oi gentlemen who acted as pallbear- l ers on the occasion. A lady named l. Mrs. R. Griffith, of Port Elgin. ar- lrived in town on Tuesday from lWalkerton. A Walkertonliveryman . lhad driven her over. The lady was I in charge of a corpse, the remains of 1 her husband who had died about two lweeks ago. She was desirous of having deceased buried by the Orangemen. At her request Mr. 'l‘elford got together a number of members of that society and the 1n- terment was made, though without “any religious ceremony. It seems the undertaker here had received . intimation from Mrs. Griffith shortly ’lafter deceased’s death of her desire 110 have the corpse interred in Han- E“over cemetery. ' In accordance with the request a grave was dug but :lnothing else transpired until Tues- llday morning. Mrs. Griflith stated lthat her intentions were fruStrated‘ 9 Iby her own illness and it seems the ' lcorpse was interred 1n the Port Elgin «cemetery. The remains were un- earthed and brought here via Walk- ? ertown, the lady mentioned being 11 the sole one in charge. There is ’1 something strange and very singular 5' about the circumstances. ---Post. _-_mH-fl )' TabIOtO.-Medical science by accident dis- covered the potency o! the pineapple as a panacea {or stomach troubles.

Fur \\ huoping-t ough and (Jump 1t's a perfect spvcific. a Principal Merchant, of the London Normol School, formerly of Owen Sound. sees strong evidence that more than ample sutficiency of teach- ers for the Public Schools is rapidly becominga thing of the past. Of the close upon one hundred students now in attendance at the Normal School, almost everyone has an en- gagement upon the end of the term, provided, of course. they are success- ful at the examinations, which begin within a few days. This is remark- able state of aflairs. The Principal has received requests from Public School Boards in different parts of this district and from distant parts of the Province asking for teachers. Mr. Merchant believes the result. will :be to bring a larger number of men into the profession than hitherto. At the school this term, the propor~1 tion of male to female students, is) twenty-four to ninety odd, which is said to be greater than of male teach; ers to female in the country. Salar- ies may be eXpected to go up corres- pondingly. There seems to be urgent need of this. The salaries paid by some school boards in the country districts, among the rich farms. are amazingly small, and acase is re- lated where the competition for even one of these schools. at starvation wages, was so keen a young applic- ant taught three months for one dollar. The annulling of the right of the Third-class certificate holder to teach in the schools of the Provin- ces is credited with the change of affairs.

There was a. man of sound good sense, with a knowlege of the beneficent laws of human; nature, and a lover of beauty. The wearing of mourning is hideous dis- placement of the beautiful; it is a sham and a fraud, as representing a ;grief that. nature only permits in an unbalanced mind or a monomanic; and as the remant of the dark grue- some belief of barbarous heathenism it is repulsive and incongruous to the religious beliefs of to-day.â€"â€" Bobcaygeon Independent.

A curious case was tried at the Sessions in \Valkerton last week. One Atkinson gave a deed of his farm in Brant to his neighbor on consider- ation of $50 per year and his board as long as he might live. The neighbor, Mr. Keough, gave him a mortgage to secure the payment of the $50 and the other part of the agreement. Atkinson says the ,agreement was not to be registered 'ior a year so as to give him a chance to know how he liked it, Mr. Keough says three months wns the limit. The agreement was registered about three months ago. About that time Atkinson grew tired of the arrange- ment and began a suit to recover his property. Judgement was given for the plaintifl with costs, from which is to be deducted $40 to cover plain-. tiE’s board and lodging and also 850 for the first year’s annuity. The transaction was set aside on the grounds that it was provident, that ' the farm was under-valued and that I the parties were not on equal footing by reason of the age and condition of the plaintifi.~Hepworth Journal.
