Casualtt. â€" Dinnie Wright, a yonng man about 92 years old, of the 11th line Euphrasia, met with a serious accident while out shooting on Monday last. He was standing with his hands over the muzzle of the gun which was loaded with shot, talking to other boys who were with him, when the weapon accidentally went off the charge entering at the vnrist of the left hand destroying the joint, and passing on shattered the bones of the pahn of the right hand. Dr. tIcCullough of Walter's Falls assist- ed by Dr. Brodie of this place attended to the injuries. The case is considered critical. A meeting was held last Tuesday evening at Mx. Brown's store to oansider the propriety of forming a Yonng Men's Liberal Club, when about 20 were pre- sent.

Moffatâ€" Secretary, F. Porter â€" Treasurer. Directors â€" A. Plewes, E. S. Mabee, J. Henry, W. Stevens. An invitation is extended to the young men of the vicinity to join.

Mr. WiUiams her husband, received injuries from a fall a number of years ago which so affected his reasoning faculties that he has not been altogether rig^ht since, and at times quite deranged but not danger- ous. The death of his wife was however too much for his weak state of mind, and he became dangerous, so much so that he had to be sent to jail for safe keeping the day previous to the fuqeral. This is indeed a sad affliction for the family, who are highly respected and have the sincere sympathy of the com- munity. blstioi o! FarEaBesL -rrjEiK- ELECTION'S TAKES PLACE NEXT MONTH.
