Mr. W. T. J unkin, who, as lock and slide master, has charge of the local navigation matters, engaged Alfred Jewell, William Parker and Joseph Tor- rance, and went with them to place a few stop-.logs in the .sluce in the dam, in order to check the current so that the steamer could get out of the river with her tow ; and it was while this work was progressing that the tragedy occurred.

When the log, which was square and was being rolled, went to drop on to one of its flat sides, the cantâ€"hook for some reason failed to let go, as it should have done, and the young man, probably mis- calculating the weight of the log, kept hold of the handle of the hook instead of lettingit go; and the result was that the sudden jerk ,he received threw him bodily oil the narrow platform into the racing water above the sluice. As the dam at that point is only about fifty feet above the falls, in the space of a second or two, and before his companions could make a move to save him, he was swept through the sluiceway and over the cat- aract below. An alarm was immediatel y given, and a number of men ran down to the wharf and along the high bank 0p- posite the falls, to render any assistance possible. Several persons state positiveâ€" ly that they saw the body, a minute or two later, being carried down the slide stream ; but it was impossible to say whether there was any life remaining after the dreadful plunge, and no one was anywhere near enough to reach it. A few young men ran down the river bank h the public are, the stream in case the body appeared in a place where it was possible for a swim- mer to live; but no such opportunity presented itself. Boats were got out and the river patrolled as long as there was a chance of the body appearing; but up to the present it has not been found, though one or more men are constantly on the 'watch.’ Joseph Torrance’s cap was found on Monday in the lower lock, the gate of which had been open for some consid- erable time. The deceased, who was in his 22nd year, was born in this village, and lived here all his life. He was well known, and liked by all who were ac- quainted with him. Extreme regret is expressed on every hand at his untimely end, and unbounded sympathy is ex- tended to his grief-stricken parents, with whom he lived, and to his brothers and sister. At the request of his father, the river is not being dragged, as he thinks it would be apt to cover the body with slabs, with which the bottom of the riv- er is covered in places, rather than to bring it to the surface. As the depth of the water reaches nearly 100 feet in some places, dragging is also very diffi- cult and unsatisfactory; and it is very seldom that the body of a drowned per- son is recovered by that process. It having been stated that the young man’s life might have been saved if some of those who saw him carried down the stream had plunged in after him, his father wishes us to state that he consid- ers such a course would have been sui- cidal, and that everything possible was done that could be done on the occasion. As the body, when seen, (if, indeed, it was seen at all, of which no one appears absolutely certain) was a hundred yards or more from the observers, and in wa- ter in which no swimmer could even save himself, the suggestion that some- one should have jumped in is not taken seriously by anybody. The general opin- ion is that the unfortunate victim was killed or, at least, rendered unconscious by the tons of water whichmust have fallen upon him when he went over the falls.

A case of some interest, especially to newspaper men, was tried in the Divi- sion Court at Toronto Junction, recent- ly, before His Honor Judge Morgan. The publisher of the Richmond Hill Liberal sued W. B. Gram, of Weston, for several years’ subscription. The plaintiff claim- ed that he had sent the paper in good faith, and that he had never been noti- fied to discontinue it. The postmaster at Weston was summoned as a witness to prove that some member of the de- fendant's family had taken the paper from the office regularly, and that he had never been requested to return a copy to the publisher. The defendant claimed that he had verbally told the publisher several years ago to discon- tinue the paper, and that he himself had not taken it from the office. Judgment was given for the plaintiff, the defend- ant having to pay all the costs of the action.â€"â€"E.whange. Personals. Mr. John Bawks, of Longford, was in town this week. ‘ Mr. A.

THE Evsxr on Tue Sn.xsou.â€"_â€" The event of the season will be given by the Literary Society of St. James’ Church and its friends in Dickson's Hall, on Thursday, May 14th. It will consist of an Operetta, in which songs, duets, tries, choruses, marches and a Gypsy dance, will be given. The story sur- rounds the mysterious disappearance of the younger daughter of a countess. The Countess will not allow any one who may seek admission or help to be turned away from her castle, out of regard for lost daughter. After strange and weird happenings, at band of gypsies seek-adâ€" mission to the castle, and the lost child is found. A four-leaved clover figures very prominently as a talisman of good luck and ultimate fortune. The Operetta is to be preceded by a comedy entitled “A Pcrplexing Situation.” The plot hinges on a chance promise made by Mr. Middleton to present the women folks of his house each with a substantial cheque if they can keep quiet all day. The unexpected happens on this to be wished “ quiet day.” Instead of being quiet, it is broken into and disturbed in every way ; but in some truly marvellous way the four women do keep their peace. As to how this is done and the trouble they have, we shall have to refer you to the play, where you can see for yourself.
