Happening to hear us remark that we wished we could get a good heavy pair, fit for food. A family in town have had an experience which seems to sustain this theory. A friend sent them a nice haunch of venison, which seemed to be fresh and in every way wholesome. but all who ate of the venison were seized with a very distressing colic." SLEIGIIING.â€" We have sleighing again, and it is to be hoped that it will last, as it is good for business and good for pleasure. Last week the roads Were in a horrible state, first with mud and then with frozen ruts, to the great dis- comfort of persons who had to travel over them. The village snow-plough was out on Tuesday for the first time this winter. guided by Mr. Thomas Scott and drawn by his horse, though there was scarcely enough snow on the sidewalks to impede the progress of pedestrians.

SUDDEN Damnâ€"Edith Pearl, sec- ond and youngest daughter of Mr. Sam- uel Keown. of Fenelon, died very end- denly last Saturday morning. Dr. Wil- son had been attending her for a mild attack of scarlatina, from which she ap- . peared to be recovering, and when he visited her on Friday her temperature was normal. On Saturday she ate her breakfast as usual and was quite cheer- ful, but while she was sitting on a chair, and her mother was making her bed, ‘she suddenly exclaimed “ I’m going to faint,” and immediately fell into a swoon. Her mother did all she could for her, but in a very short timeâ€"not more than fifteen minutesâ€"the poor girl was dead. Mr. and Mrs. Keown have the sympathy of the whole community in their sad bereavement. A BRE.A.K-DOWN.â€"-â€" Happening to meet Mr. Joseph Moynes last Saturday evening he gave us the particulars of an accident that happened on the night of the lst inst. to Mr. Daniel Gilchrist and his sister, of Islay, while on their road home late at night from the East Victoria Farmer's Institute meeting at the Falls. When near Mr. EdWard E'nglish’s, about a mile from the village boundary, the front axle of the bugg broke and the occupants of the Vehicle were both thrown out. Miss Gilchrist escaped without injury,.though she was almost covered with mud, but her bro- ther was cut beneath the right eye and his right knee and shoulder were slightly bruised. Mr. Moynes, who was behind in his own “rig,” took them to his house, where they had supper and: were di- vested of some of their mud, after which he drove them to their own home. Mr. Gilchrist’s horse get loose from the buggy almost as soon as the axle broke, and, after running about two miles, fell into a walk and was captured by Mr. John Daniel Jr. FATAL ACCIDENT.â€"- Mr. Richard , Gibbs of Lindsay and one of his sons left home on Tuesday of last week in a cart to look for some strayed cattle, and in the evening, when about two miles this side oi Rosedale, the cross-bar be- tween the shafts broke, the front of the cart fell to the ground, and the horse ran away. The young man got out, he hardly knew how, and escaped with a few slight scratches and bruises; but the old gentleman was dragged nearly forty rods, when the horse broke loose from the cart. Mr. John Cunningham, near whose place the accident happened, got his buggy out and drove M r. Gibbs to the residence of his son,'i\lr. Thomas Gibbs, about a mile north of Cambray, and Mr David Brokenshire came to the Falls for Dr. Wilson. The doctor was such as farmers wear, but small enough , in attendance upon the patient as soon for our hands, she kindly offered to!as possible, andsubsequemly paid him supply our long felt want. and promptly did so. They are a good fit, of a pretty pattern, and will no doubt outwear three or four “ boughth ” pairs. SHE’S DEADâ€"The venerable sorrel more on the late William Ellcry’s farm in Fcnelou departed this life one day lately, but not from old age nor nat- ural causes. Though in her 35th year, she was sound in wind and limb and free from any disease; but, as she had lost so many teeth that she could not eat hay or cats. and was almost past work, Mr. Barber went to the form two or three visits, but he died on the following Friday afternoon. He had received several wounds and bruises, and may have been injured internally; but Dr. Wilson attributed his death to heart failure caused by the shock, from which, owing to his great age, 78 years, he was unable to rally.
