T ~â€" The passengers in the Hamilton bus, en route from Timmins to Schuâ€" macher on Tuesday evening, had a very exciting experience. At a point about midâ€"way between the towns, the pubâ€" lie conveyance suddenlv swerved and in a moment was in the ditch, but fortunately did not turn over or your correspondent would have had a sadâ€" der tale to relate. Several lady passâ€" engers showed great calmness in the hour of peril. Efforts were made to right the vehicle but without avail, and the passengers were compélled to pursue their little journey on foot to their respective places of abode, conâ€" gratulationg _ themselves. on _ their narrow escape. The rutty condition of the highway was fprobably the chief cause of the accident. ‘‘Don‘t you remember that we stopâ€" ped there, and there was a flood on, so we didn‘t leave the station."‘ On Monday evening a very enjoyâ€" able time was spent at the Newray mine when about: twenty of the young people of the Newray and Schuâ€" macher gathered to give Muriel Olton a surprise party and shower on the eve of her departure for 8t. Catharâ€" ines where she is entering the trainâ€" ing school for nurses. She was the recipient of many beautiful and useâ€" ful gifis as a token of the well wishes of her friends and companions. Mrs. R. Lafferty and Mrs. A. Lee were the hostesses of the evening and gerved a very dainty lunch at midnight, after which the party up with the old songs,‘‘For she‘s a jolly good felâ€" low,"‘‘ and ‘*Auld Lang Syne."! The boys had been asked to write an essay on any animal they liked, and some surprising efforts were reâ€" ceived by the master. One of them, evidently supposed to be a degeripâ€" tion of a mule, read as follows: ‘*The mewl is hardier : than theâ€"~guse or turkie. _ It has two legs to walk with, two to kick with, and wears its wings on the side of its head:"‘ They had been on their muchâ€"taikâ€" edâ€"of trip abroad, and had now returnâ€" ed home. ‘*And what did you think of Venice?""‘ asked a neighbour. _ ‘*‘Venice2‘‘ murmured Mre. Greenâ€" ing. Then she turned to her husband, ‘‘Did we go to Venice, George?"‘ Mr. and Mrs. H. E.
