The Ontario Forestry Bureau. .â€" Everyone who is interested in tlic \_ progress and material development of Ontario, and more especially every farm- er, ought to- read the annual report of the Bureau of Forestry for Ontario just issued. Like its predecessors it is full of information on the subject of forest preservation and tree-planting, and con- tains‘an epitome of the latest practical conclusions and observations bearing on the forestry question. The seriousness of the situation in Ontario has been recognized by the Provincial Govern- ment, which have lately appointed a commission to make a tour of the Proâ€" vince and ascertain the feasibility of re» planting some of the waste lands with timber. The figures presented by this report, compiled from the returns of the Bureau of Industries, show the ex- tent to whichithc denudation has been carried on in some of the frontier conn- tics and the urgent need of some active measure to counteract the evils which have resulted. The report deals briefly with the broader and more general as- pects of the question, inasmuch as the commission is now at work. It gives some figures showing the extent to which the lumber supply is drawn from lands belonging to farmers. partial statistics obtained from 1,5001umber mills, indi- eating measure is out every year from land un- der settlement, in addition to other than pine timber. It is urged that farmers should look to the wood-lot as a permanent source of revenue, and carefully guard such remains of the original property as they possess from reckless destruction. In view of the growing scarcity and value of many kinds of timber, they are recommended to plant. their Waste and unproductive lands with such kinds as are likely to be in demand in the future, and some iute eating and convincing facts show- ing the value of plantations on farms are given. The latest scientific experiments as to the value of trees as windbreaks in preserving the moisture of the ad- jacent fields are set forth at some length. Among other features of the report are papershon the study of nature in schools, showing how Arbor Day might be made a much more useful institutiOn than at present; on the manufacture ofcharcoal by Alex. Kirkwood ;' and on insects inâ€" jiirious to forest vegetation, by Dr. Dre- dic, a leading authority on cntoniological science. A postcard addressed to Mr. Thomas Southworth, Bureau of For- cstry.

About 2 o’clock the ma- chinery of the shingle department was stopped in consequence of a “ hot box " up-stairs, and at that time the truck was up near the saw, and a round, straight. smooth, baikless, water-soaked log, sixteen inchcs in diameter at the. butt and nearly the same thickness throughout, was in the trough. Mei- calfc was the only man who remained in that part of the mill after the ma- chinery was stopped, and a few minutes later a boy ran up to a group of the em- ployees and told them that he was lying under the log. A rush to the spot was instantly made and the leg was carefully lifted off the poor young fellow, who was laid upon some boards, where he died a very few minutes after the arrival of Dr. Graham. As no person witness- ed the accident, it is impossible to say exactly how it occurred ; but the prob- ably correct supposition is that lie mov- ed the log out of the trough with the intention of blocking it on the platform while he went down for another, and that, finding it slipping, he hung on to it with his cant-hook and was throwu completely over it to the floor below. He was lying with his face down, but turned somewhat sideways, between the rails, and the leg was resting on one hip, his shoulders, and the back of his head. His front teeth were knocked out of the gums, his nose was split throughout almost its entire length, and there was a out high up on his forehead, under the hair; but the fatal hurt was on the base of his skull, which was com- pletely crushed in. He was carried to the residence of his uncle. Mr. Walter Metcalfe, on Francis street, and his funeral next day would have been very numerously attended but fora heavy rain that set in just before the proces- sion left. the house. Deccascd‘ wasa Very quiet, unassuming young man, well liked by all who knew him, and was 21 on the 2lst day of May last. He was the son of Mr. William Met- calfe. who went to the States long ago, and his mother dying a few days after his birth, he was brought up\ by his grandmother, who is at present living with her son Walter. The following minor accidents hap- pcncd'in the mill since the middle of last week: On Thursday Mr. John Young was struck over the eye by a knot that flew from the edger, inflicting a wound that bled copiously, though it was not serious ....... On Friday Mr. Harry O’Neill, one of the night gang, was struck on the back of his right leg by the drag-saw, which inflicted four or five laccratcd wounds, some of them of considerable depth. He walked up- to Dr. Wilson’s ...... .During the same night Mr. Farrell, one of the hands on No.1 carriage, had his knee severely bruised, in consequence of the lever that controls the steam food being acci- dentally touched, which sent the car- riage crashing against the hunting block. He is still off work from the effects of the accident.........0n Tuesday night Mr. Wm. Alexander had the in- side of all four fingers of his right hand slightly out by the side of the teeth of the edger. Dr.Wilsou dressed thchurts, which are not at all serious, though he will be idle for a few days. Personals.- Miss Bell McFadycn of Woodville is visiting at Mrs. H. N. M-cDougall’s. Mr. Wm.
