Arnott was returning home from Markdale on horseback, he fell asleep and the horse (a three-year-old colt) wandered into Thos. Campbell's lane half a mile from town and dropped into a well some 50 rods from the road. There were loose boards over the well, which is 27 feet deep and some three feet of water in it. No body appears to understand how j Arnott ^escaped 0oing down with the hcrse, and it is said he huntedjabout the field for the horse not knowing what happened him when he found lum he hastenedjfor help and secured the service of Jo. Irwin, a well digger, with windlass c., and they soon wound up the animal but when about to land him he shpped through the tackling and fell again to the bottom. The second time however the horse was safely landed and strange to say not much the worse, and is now all right again. BUSINESS LOCALS. Mink Set, regular price 615, only $11 at Anderson's.

FBE£TKADE.: The reduction of internal levenue aud the ' taking off of revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicine, no doubt has largely benefitted the consumers, as well as relieving the burden of home manufactures. Especially is this the case with Green's August FUmer and Bosehee'i GenrMU Syrup' as the reduction of twenty siz cents per dozen, has been added to in- crease the size of the botile containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cent size. The August Ftower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complamt and tho Qerman Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicine in the world. The advantage of increased size of the bottle will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town and of village civilized countries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the siuue sijfe. B. O- W. SALT BHEUM CUBED.
