He , gradually improved under the treatment he received in that institution, and as he appeared to have got quite well again he was released early in June at the rrqpest of his mother, who lives in the city of Toronto, and, after remaining with her about. a month, he returned to his wife and children in Somerville. But, we are sorry to say, his recovery soon proved. to be but temporary, and on Friday last Constable Nevrson ur- rested him on awarrant issued by John Fell. J P., lodged him in the Lindsay jail tor the night, and. on Saturday took him back to the asylum at Mimico, from which, as it proved, he had been prematurely liberated. BIG. FtsrLâ€"Thc largest ’lunge that has been seen at the Falls for a long time past was caught last Tuesday morn- ing near the site of Greene St Ellts’s mill by Mr. Charles Hand, who had it pho- tographed, suspended. by a cord, With his nephew, little Teddy Calder, stand- ing alongside of it, and the boy and the fish wore about the same length. The latter measured 3. feet 7 inches, was 18% inches in circumference and Weighed 20% pounds. The fish made a hard tight for liberty, and was not landed in its captor’s canoe without some difllculty and a lot of splashing. The same day Mr. Wm. O'Brien, who makes a living by fishing during the summer, came to the village with three 01‘ four ’lunge, the heaviest of which weighed 153 pounds. The greatest piscatorial feat we have heard of this season was per- formed last Friday by Mr. Arthur Knowlson, formerly of Lindsay but now of New York, who has been camping out not far from Rosedale with a party of relatives and‘ friends. While fishing near the locks with light tackle for'bnss, with a minnow for bait, be hooked a 14‘ pound ’lunge, which by patience and skill hc mnnaucd to land, though his fancy bamboo rod was broken early in the struggle.

Thomson of the Queen’s regiment, Edinburgh. With the same score last year Thomson secured eighth prize in the same new test. The winning score in 1895 was made by liayhurst, 279‘.

In Queensland, Australia, there are sections of land hundreds of miles in extent which have been devastated by rabbits. Lewis Taylor of Cobonrg, charged with attempting to murder his wife, surrendered after'hiding in the woods four days without food. It is said that Justin McCarthy has made £100,000 from the sales of his " History of our own times," and that the entire sum has been devoted to the Irish cause. Before a fire brigade in Berlin starts for a fire the members are drawn up in line and in military fashion salute their captain; then off they run, having lost more than a minute by this foolery. A box of insect powder was discovered to be on fire in the window of W. C. Law & Co.’s drugstore at Beetou. A glass globe was standing in front of the box, and the sun burned a good sized hole through the end of the box and set fire to the powder. The fire was noticed before any damage was done. Some idea of how agriculture-l land in England has fallen in value can be gathered from- the fact that a farm of 247 acres at Dowsby, South Lincoln- shire, which is said to have cost £22,- 000 pounds forty years ago, has just been offered for sale by auction and withdrawn, the highest bid being only $7,800. , The twelve-yca-r-old grandson of M r. James Balfour of Thames Road, near Kit-ton, Ont, was taking a ride around the field on the mower, when he fell. The horses ran away. The lad was caught on the barb wire fence and dragged along, being completely disem- bowclled. He was killed and almost completely cut in two. What is said to be the largest hog cvcr raised in Delaware was killed a few days ago at Felton. It was of the Black Berkshire breed and was about three years old. It weighed 1100, was seven feet four inches in length, six feet two inches around the body, four feet eight inches around the neck, and three feet four inches high at the-shoulder. Stuart Chicago wheelwomcn are now copying the Parisian fashion of provid- ing a collar of silver bells for the handle bars of their machines. Instead of worrying about constantly thinking of warning bells, the motion of the machine- causcs the incessant jangling of the silver chime, and the effect is decidedly pretty. These hell are all of a more or less costly description, the handsomest consisting of a set of six, of pure silver, exquisitely chased, and hung upon a band of white leather, embroidered. with gold and jewels. Florida owes her latest enterprise to a gentleman well known in Montreal. It is an ostrich farm, situated on the Indian River at Courtenay, two hours sail above Titusvillc, and the owner is Major H. J. Tilfin, at one time of the welhknowu firm of Tiffin Bros, of Montreal. The breeding of ostriches for their plumage has been successfully carried on in California, but Major Tifiin is the first man to engage in this peculiar kind of farmingon the Atlantic side of the continent. It may result in adding one more to the many resources of Florida. A dozon and a half of young turkey chicks disappeared from a pen in which they were enclosed most mysteriously. The owner, Mrs. Schultz. of Brant, felt ‘ annoyed over the loss, which did not occur all in a night but at the rate of one at a time. She determined to watch and hid close to the pen. Shortly after concealing herself a calf confined in aunther pen reached over- and caught one of the chickens and shook the life out of it, and before Mrs. Schultz could interfere had devoured it. The mystery was solved and the calf was transferred to other pastures.
