Mr. Mark Webb, proprietor, was run- ning thesaw at the time and one of the pieces struck him in the chest knockinghim backwards for eight feet. The flesh on the breast bone from side to side `was laid open and turned down, seventeen stitches being` required to "close the wound. Another piece struck his left thumb and inicted a curve cut from the thumb palmwards to the wrist and seven stitches were required to close that wound. The wrist was also badly cut and the right wrist also in- jured. Other parts of his body were bruised. He was `taken to the house and Dr. Palling summoned by wire. It is thought that Mr; Webb escaped internal in_]uries,y and although he cut fers much pain will likely recover. The accident is attributed to a aw in the saw. One section of `the jointer pierc ed a 2 x 4 rafter and the rest of the roof, and the other pieces ew around the mill nearly striking other workmen. The reman in his excitement dropped a blazing poker in the sawdust or shav- ings, but luckily two men came along in time to extinguish the blaze before any damage was done. itiil young she. had, hiher oharm; -ing. . disposition, won innumerable friend, all of whom wiil be very sorry to. hear of her death.

Sir,-Perhaps one of the manythings deserving the special attention of Town- ship Councils is the enormous amount` and the important character of the work done by clerks and treasurers of township municipalities for a merely nominal salary. Is it any wonder that a lack of method, in tact as half neglect, characterizes the work of both clerks and treasurers in many townships `lo Is it any wonder that in nearly every case in which there -has been a Provincial audit a decit has been found in the tre_asurer s accounts 1 __ that in many of these cases treasurers have suffered by being compelled to pay over money not owing by them, but showing as decits, because of bad book-keeping--`a rather serious and one-sided business when a treasurer, not half} paid, perhaps, for thirty or _forty years, and because of not being half paid, not able to devote suicient time to the work to do it properly, has his books shown up unfavorably, and is thus, perhaps, ruined nancially be cause of the lack of proper knowledge of his work by thewcouncillors or be`- cause of their peuuriousness. 1...
