There i-sa rumor to the effect that a launcher of the leading Conservatives of :the county, disgusted with the treat- ,ment receivedâ€"or said to have been receivedâ€"by Dr. Vrooman and his sup- 5 {porters at the convention at which Sam iH-ughes was nominated as their candi- date, are taking steps to establish an- other Conservative paper i-n l‘nndsay. That there is a split in the party (not on politics, but on candidates),is. we think, beyond a doubt;_ but whether or not the section Without an “ organ "‘â€" to S.

LastFriday morning, while the driv- er ot’fthenstage from Bobcaygeon was In his team_took,_it into their heads to run away, and came up town at~a lively pace. Fortunately, they met no “ rig ” on either of the bridges, or a serious accident might have been the result. Somewhere on the mainstreet Mr. Wal~ ter McCall caught oncof- the horses by its bridle. and: hung on until therma- ways took the sidewalk-atthc bank cor- ner. where, to avoid injury to himself, he was forced to let go. . Tearing away the wooden step in front of the bank and the one in front.of'.Mr. Ouellct’s Bond street, where they whirled around to the left, upsetting the sleigh and Mr. McCall, who was hanging o'nbchind. He sprang to his feet, the sleigh turned back on to its.runners,_andathe horses continued their career until they got on to Cameron lake, where they sevc.al times galloped around a large opening in the ice, and then headed for the shore. Near the railway. track, upon which a train was approaching, one of them slipped and fell, Mr. McCall, who was waiting for them, grabbed the'other and the runaway was over. The light, open sleigh they were drawing was bad: ly damaged, but, as far. as we know, neither of the horses was hurt.
