Albert Tremblay is desâ€" cribed as an industrious, quiet, thoughtâ€" ful lad who did all possible to help his parents, and so no doubt won their special favour. Emilien is said to have frankly admitted killing the brother under revolting conditions, waiting unâ€" til Albert was asleep to finishn him. A coroner‘s jury last week held Emilien Tremblay criminally responsible for the death. The crime has roused much sympathy for the parents in the La Reine district, Mr. and Mrs. Tremolay being very highly respected by all who know them. A new cenctaph and a better location for the new memorial are being urged by the Kirkland Lake branch of the Canadian Legion. Emilien Tremblay, aged 22 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Adelard Tremblay, new settlers at La Reine, Quebec, is in jail at Amos on a charge of murdering his yuunger brother, aged 17 years. The parents were away for the evening and when they returned they asked about the young son, Albert, and Emilien is reported to have suid quite casually that he had killed him. The lifeless body of Albert Tremblay was found in an upstairs rcoom with the lad‘s head crushed in by a blow from a heavy stick.

Three other men were waiting at the cage on the same level when the explosion place. All of them were temporarily deafened by the explosion, but one of the three, Jack Christo, was struck in the back of the hip by a piece of fiying rock. He was taken to the hospital but his injury was not considered as at all serious. The death of the two Theriault brothers was pracâ€" tically instantanecous. The bodies were badly bruised and injured, practically every bone in their bodies being broken by the blast. R. R. Johnston gave an unusually inâ€" teresting address on "Folk Songs.® ‘"Mr. 8. A.

"Now, if that were all Mr. Bush had to tell us it would only be what we have told of many other dogs; but the cutest part of this dog‘s performance is yet to come. There were pastures at each end of the farm, and Mr. Bush‘s father would tell the dog which field to take the cows to, and he never made a misâ€" take. But even this is not all therel is to be placed to the credit of the dog‘s memJry. _A railroad passed through the farm, and if the cows were to ‘be taken to the side where trains came thundering across the road, Mr. Bush would tell the dog to be very careful abSut the train. And the dog never forgot. When the drove of catâ€" tle got about twentyâ€"five yards from the track, the dog would very quicklyi pass around to the front of the herd and stop it. He would then listen for a few seconds. If a train were heard he would remain until it passed. If no train could be heard the dog would hurriedly put the cattle over the track, and put them in the field. A doubter to whom Mr. Bush told this story said: "Mr. Bush, I know ysu are a truthful man, but I would like to see your dog do this thingy." Hi2 was inivited ‘to "come and see," and he did. ‘"‘There are many fool dogs, we know, but there seems to be no limit to the knowledge of some dogs." "Recently, in conversation with our respected townsman, Mr. H. C. Bush, the subject turnedi to The Speaker‘s dog stories. Said Mr. Bush, "I was brought up on a farm which extended from concession to concession, and our house and farm buildings were in about the centre, so that one could see the pasture fields on either side, and our dog always took the cows to the pasture in the morning and brought them home in the evening." There have beon a number of interâ€" esting dog stories in The New Liskeard Speaker from time to time. Indeed, some c¢cf the readers of The Speaker have begun to expect a dog story every week, but that may be expecting tco much, though it must be admitted that the New Liskeard Speaker can give A lot of these stories. Perhaps, the most interesting part of these stories is that they are each and all true, being careâ€" fully verified, and only honest men beâ€" ing trusted. There are good fellows who will stretch things a little when taiking about their dogs, but The Speaker always tries to avoid these. The New Liskeard newspaper seems to be chiefly concerned with two points in the stories:â€"one being that it is interâ€" esting because of its facts, and the other that it proves or upholds the fact that dogs have intelligence of unusual kind. The latter fact is something that should be kept in view these days when so many condemn the dog beâ€" cause he is nSt at his best when kept in city or big town. Last week‘s conâ€" tribution to its dog story lore was as follows:â€" "We into a home on one occasion on the day The Speaker is published, and the lady of ths home said: ‘"There is no dog story in The Speaker this week." Perhaps one of the reasons why people take so much interest in these stories is because they are reminded of their earlier days when the dog, in many cases, meant so much to them. Said a judge when asked to give authority for the destruction of a dog for a specified reason, "I cannot separate the boy from his dog." Another Dog Story from New Liskeard District 1, «30020 030 The first harbinger cof spring is given as a live crow of the bird kind walking arcund on street in North Bay. Citiâ€" zens of North Bay verify the presence of the ‘bird on street and losk upon it as a sign of spring coming. Nothing seems to discourage the weather prophets. Despite the fact that so many of them promissd a very mild winter, ssome of th>m going so far as to call it an open winter, the severe cold snap was scarcely over before these same people were prophesying an early spring. Every person would hope for an early spring and as one exchange suggests would like the prophets to keep quiet so that there might be a chance for the desired early spring. It seems as if the prophets ars always wrong. There is one prophet, however, who has struck in right very often. That is H. A. Preston, oldâ€"timer of the North. He said several months ago that «there. would Bbeâ€"anâ€"early spring. But against even Mr. Preston, there is his suggestion:â€"*"Watch out for 55 beâ€" low in January!"
