A rather amusing incident occurred at â-  the Methodi.1t Sabbath acliool "n Sunday afternoon las*, which caused many a smile, and will bear th*- telling about.

After praving for the succesa of the bchool,efcc., ho also implored the divine blessing upon the superintendent and asked that that gentleman mii'ht be prospernl " in t'le business in wMch he was engaged" Tho kernel of tho juke lies in the fact that the , superintendent wa.^ absent and was at â-  Hkstt mnnient burying a mua in his capa- city of undertaker 1 .

Secretary Graham of the Farmers' In- stitute drew our attention the other day to the fact that there is a sort of Idiyht on tho apple trees this year with which he is unfamiliar. Many of the leaves are oiiJy half grown and curlod while a sort of rusty spot appears on them. The showing for fruit in good, but whether this blight will afl'eci it later on is uncer- tain. A son of Rev Mr. Cook got hold of .VIr. Wilson's Winchester riile the other day (the family are boardiui; with Mr. Wilson). The father hj^opeued to see the youngster and took the gun from him, after which he preceded to uxplain a gun's i niechanisra to the buy and iiiipres.s on his mind the daiiaer of liandlini; it. In soinn manner Mr. Cook pulled the trigger, and there was an explosion. The projiictile gunsheil two pictures on the wall and embedded itself. It is needless to say iluit but h father and son were duly iiu pressed with the dangerous chanicter of a t^ inchrster, and it was some timo before- ihtir nerves were reduced to normal tension.

A peculiar and fatal accident occurred on the railway li miles South of Fltsher- ton station, at Waller's crossing, on Fri day last by which Allan McLean (or as ho was best known, Whittaker) a resident of the Station, lost his life instantaucously by being run over. Between IJ and 12 o'clock that (lay the freight from Owen Sound, in charge vf Engineer Bobliu and Cojiduclor Walker, left this station with a crain of 28 cars, intending to pass the noon express at Proton Station. When a short distance south of the lake Engineer Roblin saw what ho thought was a coat lying between the rails, and it was not until within a few rods of the object that he recognized it as a roan. He made every effort to stop his train but was not able to do so until four cars had passed over the unfortunate victim. W.hen tak- en frim under the train McLean was quite dead. Deceased was a member of the section gan^j since la.st April under Foreman Aahdown and went to work that morning as usual but half an hour after bcginiiiiig work complained of feeling un- well and was advised to go and lie down, which he did. This was about 8 a. m. The section men were working in the im- mediate vicinity and half an hour before the accident left McLean ciUiiig against a tree in the field at Mr. Waller's cr<«.4iiig, smoking his pipe, while they went up the track a short distance to do some work. Mr Ashdown says he stood on the fence and looked up and down tbo track after tho train whistled in leaving this station, and that McLean was niX on the track then. Ten minutes later Mr. AshdowAs men were called by the train crew to take charge of the remains. An inquest was called on Saturday by Coroner Bibby with tho following gentle- man as jurymen : Gibson Collinson,Ai'ch. McMuUou, Win. Muir, Thus. Gilchrist, John Stewart, Andrew McAulay, Thomas McArthur, James Hemphill, Geo. Hawke, iVlaloolm Fergnson, Jas. Gardiner, J. B. Egaii, Wilson McMullen,Jas. McMulleii, John Snell. A post aiorteui was held by Dr. Neely of Markdale. After viewing the reiuaiua the ,jury went down to the scene of tho accident, after which tho in- quest was proceeded with in the Orange Hall, li'orenian Ashdown was the first witness called and simply told the facts as we have given thein. Ue was positive de- ceased was not on the track ton minutes before the train came along. Andrew Rutledge and other members of the section gang gave evidence but could net advance anything important to show why deceased was on the track, Angus Whittaker, sworn, said : 1 uoticed that morning that McLean was not as well as usual. Did not want him to go to work. He was a half-bro,'!ier of mine. He was not subjuct tu fits or faiat- inii spells. Could not say what caused him to lie en track. He had been drink- ing the night before, and was at the hotel that morning before breakfast. Did not show any signs of being drunk that morn- ing. Hud a bottle at tool house but did not see him take anything out of it. Do not know whether he took it with him or not. Do not think he could have had it with him or I would have seen it. The reason I thought him unable to pro to work was because I noticed before breakfast that he staggered. Be seemed all right when he went to work. Engineer Roblin then told the story of the accident as follows: I left Fleslierton with engine 610 with freights train con- sisting of 28 loads, about 11,20, on the inoriitne of June 20. When 1^ miles soubh of Flesherton, while running at about 15 miles an hour, I noticed whtt I took to be a garment on the track, about six car lengths ahead of the engine, [ this was as the train rounded a curve â€" ed. ] When about three car lengths from tho object I saw it was a man, lying on the oppoai to side of some crossing planks in betuveen the rails, with his head towards the engine. I at once applied the air brake, shuttiiig off steam at the same time. We stopped and rao back, Fire- iiHUi Hamilton and myself,and found this 'Riaa lyiug'tindar about the ^ih oar (from the engine. 'He was dead. I called to Brakesman Forbes to go back and bring Conductor Walker and tell him to get the section men, who were working Wk of the train, as we had run over a man. Wh«a Conductor Walker eanie owanFire- maa Hamilton and myself want to the engine and slacked bock in order to get the truck of a car clear of his body. It was not possible to distinguish it was a man any sooner. There was no move- ment of the body when I saw it first or afterward. Nbticed only a slight bleeding from hislegs. Was notbleeding luucli when I saw him. Found no move- ment of muscles whatever. Stopped train in about eight car lengths. Believed the man dead before he was struck. It was inside a minute after he was struck that I saw him. Tho fireman, brakesman and conductor each gave evidence to the same effect. Dr. Neely then described the condition in which he found the body, which was not badly mangled. The side of tho head was crushed in, skin torn iu several places, ai'd bo'ii lof.s broken. ISvory bone iu loft side of skull was f rnot ured and riija broken and piojecling into lung oiivity. Tlio hciirt appeared iioimal, and as tiiough it had beon in.tually heating vX lime of aoci- diint. Tho stomach was empty. Tho condition of blood vessels led him to be- lieve that death wap due to shuck. The jury,afti:r heaiing all the evidence, produced the following verdict : "That the deceased came to hia death by beiiiL! lu.i over with a train, no blame bein.g attached to unyouo." Three are three theories lulvancod as the cause of death, viz. : That deceased oamo out on the track and fell in a faint ; that bis brain was dulled willi tho liquor and he fell asleep ; that ho deliberately lay down intonding tocomniib Suicide. If the latter he could not have chosen a a better place,as tneoruBsing partially hid him from the engineer as well as from the section gang, where they wore working. As fur the tiist theory the fact that his dinner pail «as standing beside the track, and Mr. Ashdown's evidence that he was nob there ten minutes before, seems to dispose of this. The funeral took place to Flu.sheiton cemetery on Sunday after- noon. Deceased was 41 years of age and unmiirried. Sir Wilfred Laurier arrived at Liver- pool on Satui'Jay night, and wont direct to Lotidun. Ninety American soldiers dave died of cholera in the Phillippines. The total deaths to date are li,676. Tho Maple Leaf saw works at Gait, owned by Shurly A Diftrieh,were burnod on Saturday. 'The less is §76,000. One of the old landmarks of Mtilauc- thon township was destroyed by fire on Tuesday forenoon. The old building was used for many years as an hotel and was built by the tale James Beaohell, the first warden of Grey county,in the early flftii,s. The farm on which 'he building is situat- ed was owned by the lato William Jelly and Simon Jelly, of Shelburiie, for a number of years and was Sold last fall by Simon Jelly and tho executors <>f tho VVil- liam Jelly estate to Stove Sawdon. Tho house at the timo of the fire wasoceupied by A brain Markle, the tenant, who man- aged to aecuie most of his furnituro. Ti a high wind on Tuesday and defcctxe slovepiprs no doubt, caused the fire. There was no insurance on the building, â€"Free Presi.. The Markets.
