Mr. Hewitt met with a rather painful injury over a week ago. He is reported to have fallen from a wagon, causing the fracture of a couple of ribs, and injuries about the head and face. The C. P.

Dr. Farquhsrson, Teltord, McCannel and Petty be a com- mittee to wait upon the council and' lay the matter before them.

Kelly and McIlraith, that a new Continuation school be built on a new site at as early 3 date as possible.

Following the marriage, Davis and his bride moved to Cedars, where Davis was appointed “walking boss” on the new electric plant being installed. Shortly afterwards the postmaster in Grenville received a letter from a woman, who said she was Mrs. Davis, asking if the authori- ties would investigate the matter as to the report that Davis had married, and stated that she had been married to Davis on Septem- ber 12, 1888, and upon this re- port Mr. Cummings came to Montreal and placed the matter in the hands of counsel, who com- municated with the authorities at Durham as to the reliability of the woman’s story, and finally placed the facts before Judge Lafontaine, who issued a warrant for Davis’s arrest.
