Old Wrecks Moved The fierceness of the storm which late- ly swept over the lakes can best be judged by the fact thtt many old wrecks that had been given up as lost for good ami no one h 1 1 ever dreamed of ever hearing attain of, have been waihed up. Along the shore of Cape Croker some of the cargo of the Jones is being found, having been wished up by the wavt-p. The wholu lake must have been agitattd from the bottom up for some of the he-ivy barrels of oil would have naturally stayed on the bottom till the wood rotted, but the movement of the wa'ers even on the bottom of the lake washed these ashore, i'art of the hulk of the Jane miller wrecked about thiity years ago hitf also been washed up. The Miller was supposed to have gone in the deepest part of the bay between the short- and Griffiths Island. The water herd isnbeut two hundred and fifty feet deep. This is th 6 rt wreckage tint lias ever been found of the Jane Miller. This would indicate that (hi* was the worst storm that this part of the lakes lias ever been subject to for at least thirty year* and old seamen hay that it is the worst that h occurred in over fifty years.

Finally Approved The Ontario liot eminent has given the tinal approval expressed in an order- iii 1'i.uiKil to the launching by the Pro- vincial Hydro Electric Commission of a half-million dollar power development fccheme for the Owen Sound district. Hon. Adam Beck ?igned a contract on Wednesday last with the Town Council <>f Owen Sound, and the commission's engineers were instructed to go ahead at onca with the preparation of plans and specifications for the development of Kugenia Falls, ami to ask for tenders for the construction of the plant and trans mission lines. The Eugenia Falls will servo Flehher ton, Markdale, Chesley, and the rest of the municipalities within a wide radius. Upon the completion of the system it will be linked up with theColliugwoodftys i -iii.wlni-li takes in Midland, Barrie, Pene taiigand other municipalities served from the Big C:iuta dev elopment.

The Late Mrs. Thompson On Tuesday, November 11, Mrs. James Thomion, sr, paused peacefully away at the home of her son, George, on the 10th line, Osprey, at the ripe oH age of sev- enty nine years.

Distribution of Seed Grain And Potatoes By instiuclions of the Hon. Minister of Agiiculture a distribution nf superior sorts of grain and potatuei will be nuide during the coining winter and spring to Canadian farmers. The samples for general distribution will consist of spring whott (. r > Ibs.), white oats (a Ibs ), barley [a Ibs.), and field peas ( r > Ibs.). These will be sent out fr^m Ottawa. A dis- tribution of potatoes (in ,'J Ib. samples) will be carried on from several of the experimental f.irms, the Central Farm at Ottawa supplying only the provinces of >nlario and Quebec. All samples will i>e sent free by mail. Applicants must give particulars in re.ard to the soil on their farms, and some account ot their experience with such kinds of grain (or potatoes) as they dave grown, so that a promising sort for .lien- conditions may be selected. Each application must be seperate and must be signed by the applicant. Only one sample of grain and one of potatoes can be sent to each farm. Applications of any kind of printed f.-im cannot b*i accepted. If two or more samples are asked for in the sime letter only one will be sent. As the supply of seed is limited) farmers are advised to apply t-arly ; but thu applications will nut necessarily be tilled in the exact order in which they are received. Preference will always be given to the most thoughtful and ex- plicit requests. Applications received after the end of January will probably be, too Jate. All applications for grain (and applica- tions from the provinces of Ontario mid <i>uobeo for potatoes) should lie addressed to the Dominion Cerealist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Such applicat ons require no postaue. If otherwise addressed, delay and dis- appointment may occur. Applications for potatoes, from farmers in any other province should be address- ed (postage prepaid) to the Superinten- dent of the nearest Branch Kxperimental Farm in that province.

Mighton Escapes ' Somewhere in the wilds air) bleak wastes (f Northern Ontario, Tnouiaa Mighton, formerly of Bentinck,is breath- ing the air of liberty oni-e more. He made a remarkable escape from County Constable Cook of Ceylon, as that officer was bringing him from Winnipeg to stand trial for the two brutal ss mil s made on his wife on Feb. lit and Aug. 1 of this yr u . As reported in last week's Review, Constable Cook was expected to arrive shortly with his man. The t-ip from the West had been safely accomplished as far us Dryden, a small town, s'line mile.s distance from the $00 and here it appears that the official went involuntar- ily to sleep, having had no rest for the previous days or nights. The prisoner although handcuffed - 1 his opportunity and immediately prepar- ed to take French leave. The biacelet s must have been a size too large, for these he slipped off and then made his way to the exit. Although it is said tlut the train was speeding HO miles an hour he took a risk and jumped from the plat- form. Whether he received any in- juries from the hazardous leap is proble- matical but the possible existence of snow banks may have saved him. What the constable's feelings were when he awoke from that ill-timed nap on be imagined. However pursuit was futile and home he came. The officer was in town on Satuiday, reporting the result of his mission. Previous to this the three Mighton children who were taken by their father when he < scaped to the West, were brought back to town and are now living with their mother here. This was accomplished through the help of the Children's Aid Society in Owen Sound. When the news of Mii/h'nn's escape reached town, the feeling of chagrin and disappointment did not generally exist, rither the majority of citizens seemed to see a humorous vein in the whole epis- ode and several of the "I told-you-ao" class jokingly declare:! that Mighton de- served his freedem if he had the nerve to make the leap from the train. Dur- ham of I iif IM- been experiencing too many exciting chapters from the book of thrills to let this adventure of Mighton's arouse any especial interest.

A mi us coincidence in connection with the carrying of the by-laws for Hydro-Electric Power in Fergus nd Elora on the 3rd inst appeared in the Globe of tho 4th init.when it was record- ed in i's summnry of news that both places had carried the by-laws and in the same isi>ue one of the items of new> copied from its lesue of the same date in 1873, exactly 50 years before date of golden jubilee, says "The telegraph lias !M-,'II extended to Fergus and Klora, and i.ili,'.- . are now open at both those flour- ishing villages." It must have been within a year or two afterwards that the line was run up the Owen Sound road. The writer remembers the event no 1, for Mr. John Miiir, the teacher at tho time in thn Cumnock school, set it as a subject for composition.
