Owen Sound An accident that very nearly proved to be a fatality occurred on Saturday when little Jean C^iinlan, daughter of Mrs. Andrew O.uinlan, East Thitd Avenue, was the victim. The little girl was play- ing in her father's yard when a load f firewood was being k.rought into the yard" A l>ng piece of timber caught on a tree and knocked several small pieces from the load. < >ne of these hit the little girl on the forehead, opening the skin to the skull and rendering her un- conscious. The wound was dressed, nd though it was not until next morning that the child recovered her normal con- dition, she is now thought to be on the way to recovery. To be '{uietly sitting reading your paper on your front porch and have a rifle bullet suddenly strike you and lodge in your foot i*, to say the least, a decid- edly unpleasant experience, but this is exactly what happened to Mr. William Whittaker on Friday afternoon about 4 o'clock. Mr. Whillaker came out on the front porch iu the afternoon to have a look at the papers and just got nicely nettled when zip ! a bullet whizzed over his shoulder aud hit his boot, pene- trating his foot. For a moment he hardly realized what had "happened or that he ha<l been shot, but when the blood began to 611 his boot and he saw the hole that the hullet had made, he summoned help and Dr. Brewster was immediately sent for . The bullet was removed and it was found that it had been shot from a 32- calibre rifle. It came from the north, but a strange thing about tbe occurrence IK that no one heard the shot. A little child was sittiug beside Mr. Whittaker when the accident happuned and the bullet whizzed by only a few inches from her. Had it struck either the child or Mr. Whittaker in the head, instant death would have been tbe result. Where the bullet came from or who fired it no one knows, and it in hardly likely the guilty party will make.his foolhardy feat known. It i thought, however, that the shot was fired by someone on the* hill, prob- ably at bird* in the trees, and it vat ilesivnilirK when it struck Mr. Whit- taker. Tl < wouud if a painful one.

The Norwegian Government concedes water- power sites for a limited period, the yearly tax Mag Used on hone power.

G. D. Durham Wednesday afternoon will be obsened as a half holiday by the merchants during July aud August. Hanover is getting a Governmeut drill hall, and we hope it will be useful as wel! as ornamental. Durham has an armory building, but. Early in the season the peach crop was predicted a failure, but recent reports from the Niagara peninsula indicate good prospects. Cherries were so plentiful, and the prices so low that many were left unpicked. The low prices didn t seem to reach as far as Durham, as prices asked here were considered high enough. List week we referred to an offer re- ceived by Principal Allan to take charge of Madoc Model school at $1800 a year Since then the Board here has decided to increase his salary to $1500, ami Mr Allan will re.naiu. tiaviug his property here seems a sufficient tie to caxse an annual sacrifice of $300 a year. Even at the increased salary the Board wuuls have difficulty in tilliug the position by an mtsider. Mr. Allan's former salan was Si**).

Amon^ the successful pleased to notica the Walkerton The I'uderwiiter's Inspector, who re- cently visited Walkerton and Inspectec the fire-lighting apparatus here, has han ded in his report, which was read at tin Town Council meeting on Monday night, and as a dernoustratijn of high kicking and loud howling that document takes the cake. The Inspector, it seems, want more water ui.iti.- put in Walkerton. wants the hydra&ts repaired and new pumps instilled at tbe reservoir. Ha also wants two or three paid tiremau to sleep in the Town Hall, and makes numerous other suggestions all tending to heap more expense on the already burdened tax-payers here. la fact, these Inspectors seem to lie regular bull-frogs for croak- ing, and the exactions they make in their reports would put the taxpayers finan- cially in the hole for many years. While painting the steeple un the Catholic Church here one night last week. Jack Murphy, the steeple- jack, fell asleep mil when discovered wrastak ing a comfort- able snoose on a rope seat about _'(> feet above the ground. As he was re- ported to have been driuklug hr ivy be- fore going up, fears were entertained that the booze would make him top-heavy and that while under the influence of Morpheus he would topple forward and fall ini'i the hands of the cottin trust. Efforts were consequently made to arouse him from his slumber by shaking the rope,but as these were unavailing hf was left to tir.ish his nap, there being some doubt as to which would he would ulti- mately wake up in. He finally issued safely from his dreams aud came duwu, when he was subsequently placed on the Indian List to avoid a similar f jturo re- currence. Herald ai.d Times.
