Mary, occurred a few days ago. Miss Brown, with her mother and brother, had been spending a holiday at Kinmount, and on the day of their proposed departure for home, she expressed her intention of having just one more "dip" before leaving. Accompanied by a girl friend, Miss Helen Drinkwalter of 402 Os-sington Ave., Toronto, she went into the Burnt River, but getting beyond her depth she became frightened and suddenly expired of heart failure. Floating on the water and with outstretched arms the body was swept rapidly by the strong current toward High Falls. Miss Drinkwalter made an attempt to catch the body as xt passed her, but failing, she swam to the shore and ran along the river bank, dived into the water in advance of the floating body, and succeeded in bunging it to land. The young girl's heroic act was loudly applauded by those who wit r.ossed her bravery, and but for her presence of mind the body would have been washed «ver the falls, and possibly never recovered. Miss Drinkwalter ;s a granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Shaw, Dundonald. Mrs. Wm. Alley of Wooller is isiting her friend, Mrs. Geo. Teal, Colborne. THE LATE MRS. M. J. DOYLE Mrs. M. J.

The destruction wrouht by forest fires was brought home very closely to the weekly newspaper publishers who recently toured thjoough northern Ontario and in the Province of British Columbia.
