A horrible story was brought to the city to day from Ossabaw Island. Three da\s ago half a dozen negro bo) s were swimming in linckhead Creek. Marck Jackson, IH yeari* old, swam out beyond the others and was treading water when suddenly he gave a shriek, threw up his arms and dis- appeared. There was commotion in the water and the other boys hurried ashore. A few minutes after a 'gator's nose was seen for a moment sticking up above the water. Johnson's parents did not accept the Vator story. Ibey thought that the boy had the cramps and drowned. They got some of their neighbors to drag the creek. Several hours were spent in search- ing for the body, but it could not be found. Yesterday the boys found a suspicious spot ou the bar, making out ia the creek, and the sand had been terribly disturbed, but the tracks were too lar;,'o for a turtle's- They began digging in the loose sand, and were horriliei at uncovering a human body. When all the sand had been re- movid the trunk of the missing; body was seen. The legs and arms were gone and the body wm horribly mangled. It is the 'gator's habit to bury its food, and it is supposed the negro boy was samian's victitil. â€" Sin\iunah Sin'cial ifi the Miwon Tt'lt'- graph. LIFE IS MMITOBA.

Briintford oorrespondent sends the following: Charles TomliuBon, night watch- man at the riewes mill, in Uolmedale, had an extraordinary experience yesterday. Ue was doiM;; some work at about 5 a.m., and took oil' his coat and vest, the latter con taiiiiiig a roll of bills to the value of S177. When ho proceeded to put ou his things again ho discovered that the money had disappeared, and at ouco came to the con- clusion that the rats, of which there were a number in the vicinity, must bo responsi- ble for the theft. Acting upon this impres- sion, ho searched high and low until 4 o clock ytaterday afternoon, when his dili- geiici> was ro.varded by discovering the iho banemeut near I A Country Withuat Bain From September lUl Sprin«. We have been favored with a perusal of aa interesting letter written b> Mr- James Aikenbead, the well-known Toronto wholesale merchant, who is now visiting in the neigh'oorbood of Brandon. Ic was addressed to his son, Thos. K., and from it the following eitra,cta are made : As every thougbtlul person in Ontario takes an interest more or less in the wheat crop of Manitoba, 1 suppose >oa would like me to say something on that subject. From all I could learn from farmers and storekeepers at Brandon, Gruwold, Oak Lake and Virden, there will not be more than half the crop saved. The frost has not merely damaged the wheal this year, it has utterly destroyed it. The reason of that is that seeding time came two weeks later than usual, and the frost caught the grain in a state of development when it was not able to bear it, and the result was that there was scarcely anything at all in the ear. Other years frozen wheat could be sold for at least half price, or could be kept for seed for the coming season, as it answered just as well for that purpose as if it had not been frozen, or ou a pinch a could make bread of the dour, which could well be used by parlies that could not afford to be too particular. In my journeying to and from the above named places I have passed tbonsauds and lboui<ands cf ajres that the owners will never attempt to make any use whatever of. Many of the farmers have already burned lueir wheat ; one can see tires in e^ery direction ; others, who do not intend to use that land next year, leave the crop standing to be re.moved when they have more leisure. The frost has been very erratic in its operations and no one can account tor this. It has taken the country in sections. One man in Oak Lakj told me be considered himself well oif, be bad only four acres frozen, but bis brother, who OiVned the farm next to his, had uot enough for seed for next year. The same way the party I am stopping with has net been damaged at all. and bis brother, who only lives two miles av7ay, has actually no wheat. Then again, some have had a part cf their crop slightly damaged and the rest good ; but cases of that kind appear to ba Very rare. Some parties tell >ou very pbi.osopbically that as a Province they Will not be worse ciT than they were last \ear ; that if half the crop is lost, still as much more will come in as did last year, tor they are getting nearly or altogether twice as much for their wheat as they did last year. This will be very consoling to those who have lost half and will get us much for the balance as they got last year for double the quantity, but I don't bee where the comfort comes in for the poor fellows who have little or no wheat. I think they at least will be very much worse vlT. -rhatever the Province may do. When I came to this Proviuie I had an idea, which I think is very prevalent in Ontario with parties who have never visited Manitoba, that is, that the prairie is one continual level, which soon becomes very I monotonous. No idea could be more erro- neous. About three miles from h->re jou coma to a chain of hills that extend for a meat many n:ore miles than 1 can tell or ;iud out by luijuirv, but I know by experi euce that a drive among these hills is one of the greatest pleasures that a man could possibly have. Get in a comfortable rig twbind a good span of horsesâ€" if you have the ribbons in >oar own hand so much the better. At drat you get up quite a nice little hill ; as soon as you reach the top >ou see one a little higher and make > our way to it to tlod that you have half a dozen to choose from, and you have to select one to brmg you to a higher plane. At last you see one and ,>ou think that when you reach there you will surely be at the highest point oftheriige, but when )ou j;et there you liud that bill top rises above hill top in every direction till at last you feel ijuite sure that you have got among the everlaat. iug bills in more senses of the word than one. As you go darting alouK from hill to hill you feel the air very invigorating. It IS that in all parts of this couutry, but I think there is an additional tlavor about the air in the hills ; it is delicious â€" you feel that yon want to drink it in. When at last you have reached the top of the ridge ihii prcspojt iu every direction is grand | JiiJ^geQ caiiia frc beyond description. | Auothtr thing that takes very much I away from the monotony is what are here | called blulYs. They are patches of red wil- 1 lows, very stunted ; never grow very high, and sildcm reach three inches iu diameter. ! It IS not thought good to have many of them on a farm, but a few of them are very i convenient near the house. The fowl are | very fond of tbeiti, aud delight to go oA'aud j I'lud a place for themselves to build a nest. | They also supply plenty of firewood, goovl , enough for summer use, but not heavy , enough for winter. If near the house they also afford a great amount of shelter from the stormy winds that blo.v. The.e aie often swales in the centre of the bluifs. A swale is a natural hollow in the land. In the spring, when the snow melts, the swales are all full of water, aud wild duuka on all of them. There are soaio very extensive swales. Aa the summer advances the small September till the following spring. They have no barns here, all the wheat is atacked in the lield when it is cat, four stacks forming a sijuure with a apace in the centre for the threshing machine to pass in. The machine is fed from four stacks. When the threshing is over the grain ia brought to the granary to be winowed and sacked rea<iy tor market, and the straw is all burnt up. No valua is aet on wheat straw. A farmer keeps as much oat straw aa he thinks he will require for bedding the cattle. If bay should run short in the spring the oat straw can be fed to the cat- tle, and it will keep them in Eome kind of condition till the bay comes in. But no use at all is found for wheat straw.

I have met tho railroad hog a great many times, writes M. Quad iu the Detroit Free Prtsi. I never meet him without making a kick. He ia growing scarcer every day, and I sometimes tlattcr myself that 1 have contributed to drive him out. When I left Toledo for Cincinnati the other day the train was crowded and people were stand- iui; up in every coach. In my car was a man occupying two seats. He had a bad !ookin;4 head on him, and he cared so little our rights forihat he did not look up from bis bock. There were live of us standing up. and I said to the group : " Gentlemen, there are three seats for which we have i-aid. Let us take [xjeses- sion. " 'â-  He'll kick and raise a row. " '• But we'll kiuk and raise a bigger one. " " Yes. but what's the use cf iiuarrelling with a hog?" "It is just auch men as you who have made him a hog. You have allowed him to impose on }ou until he has come to think he owns the railroad." Not 01:8 of the four would move. I went to the other ecd of tho car, where three women were crushed into one seat, picked up a ri-yearold boy near by, and walked up to the hog and asked : " Have >ou paid for four seats here?" '• That's my busineaa '. " he promptly replied. â- â-  And mine and the public's.' I cleared the seal of his baggage, seated the woman and the boy, and then crowded iu beside the he:;. He made an awful r"vv but ic was useless. lie was left with what be had paid for. and we fiox, what our tickets called for. Let tvery passenger kick on the railroad bog, aud ho must ^o. One day last spring there were 10 of us at a hotel table in Nashville. The soop was scorched and no one could eat it. Not a potato brought to us was done. The milk for the cciTee had turned. I invited the others to go to the office with me and kick. They were drummers every one, but not one would go. When people speak of drummers as kickers they are way ort. They will put up with more and do less complaining than any other class cf men on earth. In the present case one of them spoke for all when be said : " Yes. things are bad and ought to be righted, but we are here only for the meal aud it won't pay us to kick. " I went out alone. The landlord was in the otlice, ana I asked : " How long since you were in the dining- room ? " " A week, I i;uess." • You don't oversee the meals ?" •• No." " Well, please go to the head table and taste the milk, examine the potatoes and smell of the soup. " He departed al once. When he returned ho waa hopping mad. The head waiter was called out and dressed down, the bead cook got nicely peeled, and the landlord shook my hand and said : â- ' 1 hat kick of yours will benelic this house 95,000. I had no idea things were running thua." The natural inference with him waa that as long as no one kicked everything must be going all right and everybody satisfied. A thousand men had no doubt gone away mad and injured his house. Mr. D. W. Sewcombe, the postmaster of I Impoiiant Deci-iou Keg^rding Liability A THIEK'S F.ATK.
