Mr. James Flett of Verulam has for some time past had a number of cattle grazing on a farm adjoining his own, and on Friday morning discovered that one of them, a heifer, was sick. She soon died; another heifer was found dead on Saturday, and on Sunday morn- ing a steer was sick. Mr. Flett then sent to the Falls for Dr. Mason, who, upon examining the steer, which only lived for a short time, said that the disease was anthrax, from which there have been other deaths in this vicinity, although it is by no means common. It is supposed by scientists to be caused by microbes in the soil, and manifests itself in various ways; sometimes by an affection of the lungs; sometimes, as was the case with Mr. Flett’s cattle, by passing what look almost like ropes of blood; and sometimes by lameness and swelling of the joints or by tender- ness across the loins. How the microbes got into the soil we do not know ; but unless there is such a thing as spon- taneous generation, which but very few believe, they must either have lain there, awaiting the proper conditions for their development, for an unknown length of time, or have been carried by the winds from affected cattle possibly hundreds of miles away. Dr. Mason says that the disease is contagious and almost, though not quite, always fatal, generally causing death within twenty- four hours, and sometimes within a few minutes, of the symptoms being noticed. By his orders Mr. Flett took the re- mainder of his cattle on to,his own farm, and, as they appear to be in good health, it is to be hoped that all have escaped the deadly microbes except the three above mentioned. In Luck. A short time ago a paragraph in the Lindsay Post stated that Mr. Jeremiah Stevens, carpenter, of that town, had fallen into a very large fortune by the death of a relative in Cuba. As we suspected, the presumably lucky indi- vidual is our own familiar “Jerry,” who was merely sojourning temporarily in the county town, and is now at his own home in this village, the whole of 'which and a considerable portion of the surrounding country he will probably soon be rich enough to buy, if he should feel disposed to make the purchase. Over twenty years ago Mr. Stevens saw for the first and last time a paternal uncle, who must. have taken a great liking to him, for a short time ago he received a letter from his cousin, Mr. Thomas, a prominent lawyer in New York city, stating that their uncle, who was never married, had recently died in the Island of Cuba, and had willed everything he possessed to his nephew Jeremiah Stevens. The estate consists of 10,000 acres of land, the greater part of which is under cultivation and produces annually an enormous quan- tity of sugar and rum. Mr. Thomas says that the plant alone is estimated at $750,000, and he feels sure that Mr. Stevens" inheritance, including land, money and everything, will amount to at least 81.500.000, which, at five per cent. interest, will give him 8200 a day to live on and leave $2,000 a year to divide amongst his friends. Owing to the war in Cuba, the inhabitants of which are trying to throw off the yoke of Spain, it might not be safe to go at present; but Mr. Thomas. who has several times visited the island, says that as soon as the trouble is over he will go there with Mr. Stevens, paying all the expenses himself, in order to wind up the estate.

WEST, FENELON FALLS. “ .Never Have Poor Shoes A7020,” Said a gentleman in conversation, referring to the trouble he uscddto have in this respect. “ And I do not have to pay big prices for them either, even if leather has gone up fifty per cent. 771.6 Reason Why is because I buy my Shoes from W. L. 130138047.” Accidents. In the corner of the yard in front of the house occupied by Mr. Samuel Cor- bett on Francis. street there is a willow tree, some of the branches of which pro ject over the fence that divides the property from Mr. McIntosh’s, and a little before noon on Saturday. the 7th inst., Mr. Corbett’s fifth son, Walter, a little fellow about ten years old, climbed to the top of the tree, which is over twenty feet high, to watch his elder brother, Nelson, and two or three other lads, play a game at ball. From some cause he missed his hold and fell upon a rough, stony spot, breaking his left thigh, both bones of his left wrist, and cutting completely through his chin into his mouth. Dr. Graham was at Once sent for and soon afterwards Dr. Wilson, Dr. Mason and Mr. W. T. Junkin reached the house, the little patient was put under the influence of chloroform, the broken bones were set and the wound in the chin stitched up, and a day or two ago one of his relatives told us that he was full of fun and doing splendidly. He struck the ground a very few feet from where Dr. Mason's little boy had his leg broken a few weeks ago by the fall of Mr. )IcIntosh’s gate, and his brother Nelson, who was just a second too late to catch him as he fell from the tree, thinks that but for the intervention of the lower branches he would probably have been killed on the spot. About four o’clock yesterday (Thurs- day) morning a terrible accident oc- curred in Howry’s mill, the victim being an unmarried man about 27 years of age named Lawrence Wolsh, who came from Saginaw, Michigan. not long ago. He was the “setter ” on the north carriage, and the accident was caused by a log, which was much thick- er at one end than at the other, turning.r across the carriage when canted by tho “ nigger,” and, coming into contact with the sawycr’s lever, turned on the steam and set the carriage in motion. The log was broken in half, the whole mill shook, and Mr. Welch was thrown so violently against his own lever on the carriage (and probably against some- thing else) that the flesh on the inside of his left thigh, just below the groin, v was frightfully lacerated', his skull was fractured above his right eye. his upper lip was split and his face cut in two or three places. Fortunately the main artery in his thigh was uninjured, but it was stripped of its fleshy COVOI'll'lL' and so exposed to view that the pulsa- tion of the blood in it could be plainly seen. Dr. Graham, who was at once sent fer, had the unfortunate man re- moved as tenderly as possible to the residence of Mr. Edward. Converse, where he boards, and where, assisted by Dr. Wilson, he did everything for him that medical skill could suggest. As the fracture of the skull is “without depression,” it is not considered serious, and as the flesh wound, though very extensive and terrible to look upon, is a not necessarily fatal, both doctors have strong hopes that, with proper care, their patient may recover, though some considerable time must necessarily elapse before they will be able to pronounce him out of danger. A Crimean Veteran. On Tuesday last we had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Sergeant- Fusiliers, who for the past eight years had been a resident of Lindsay and was at the Falls on business connected with the Victoria Laundry, of which he is proprietor. He enlisted when very young in the above named regiment, and was all through the Crimean war. but escaped without a. wound cxocpt at the battle of Enkermann, when he was struck on the chin bya bayonet and got a bullet in his right leg. Ho wears the British medal with four clasps, for Alma, Balaclava, Inkcrman and Sepas- topol, and also the medal given by the Turkish Government to its allies. Ser- geant-Mnjor Martin left the British Army after serving in it for ten years, but for the past quarter of a century has been a member of the volunteers in the old country and Canada. We were sorry when a business call interrupted what would have been a very interest- ing conversation ; but the Sergeant Major kindly promised to renew it at the earliest opportunity. studs. Add." McGee Bros, who have an excellent farm in Fenclon not quite three miles from the Falls. are building a silo, of which, in our opinion, there are by far too few in this vicinity. It is to be 18 feet in diameter and 24 feet deep and will hold about 125 tons of ensilage, enough to feed a large number of cattle all winter. 00 the recommendation of Prof. Smith, of the Ontario Experi- mental b‘arm, who was at the Farmers’ Institute meeting here last year, Messrs. McGee procured 100 lbs. of “ high mixed" corn from somewhere in the county of Essex, for which they paid a dollar besides the freight; and it proved a good investment, for from one bushel, sown upon four acres of land, they will have a yield of about 160 tons. Mr. :Mr. Stewart, That by-law No, Alex. McGee, from whom we obtained the above information, very much rcâ€" urets that he did not sow all the seed he bought, as the corn is so thick and so high that a neighbor whom he asked to go into it and estimate the crop, (iv clincd to do so, as he was afraid he would get lost. The McGee Bros. are progressive go-ahcad young men. and, consequently, they are doing well. They thoroughly understand the value of thoroughbred animals, rotation ofcrops. abundant manuriu;r and clean culture : in a word, they form with brains as well as with hands, and, though they have been in Canada but a very few years. are already talked about by their acquaintances in a highly complimen- tary manner.
