List week the people of Owen Sound were shocked to bear that Mr. George Amer and his son were in custody on the Manitonlin Island, on a charge of shooting ; a neighbor named Bryant and his son, and thereby causing their death. The cause of the sad; occurence was s quarrel between the parties of .long standing. Their properties adjoin and are separated by a fence. This fence was either; blown down by the wind or thrown down by the Bryants, who then complained of Mr. Aiuer's horses trespassing on their land and doing damage to their crops. It is said, on the one hand that they complained to Mr. Amer of the damage done, and threatened to impound his horses if he did not pay for the damage done by them. This notice Mr. Amer paid no attention to,' and accordingly they (the Bryants) car ried out their threats, and tied" theux up. Upon Amer going for them, he was refused, when both he and his son .fired, killing the father and mortally wounding the son. At the Coroner's inq'iest the jury brought in a verdict of " Wil ful murder" against George A. Amer ami Irabad Airier, arid they have been committed for triat.

They are as little regarded as are the. flies which buzz around one's bead. begradually built up until strongeoough to' resist every tendency to disease.
