A dcspatch from Montreal says: An eighteenâ€"months-old child of M. Grant of St. Lambert was badly bitten on Friday by two English bulldog in a neighbor’s yard. The child wandered into the yard and the dogs flow at his throat and face. The child’s screams brought his mot-her and a couple of men tn his assistance, and the dogs were beaten off, but only with the great- est difficulty. One of the men had to use a hammer before they could be made to loosen their hold. A doctor was summoned and was obliged to put in nineteen stitches in the little chap’s face and neck. His nos-e was almost bitten off, and the other injuries were very pain- ful. His recovery is doubtful. G... snornnnnn 1)." sawnnsr BIN. Peculiar Accident to Sou ol‘. a Lon- don Man.

When Hed- lcy Weavcrly, an employe of Mr. Knowles, returned after dinner and went to the bin of sawdust, which is used as fuel for the engine, to put on more fire he saw the hand of the child sticking out. The boy was covered only about four or five inches and at thc\ place where he was buried thesawdust was only about 18 inches deep. ments there is no misunderstand-I ing or enmity, and the sentlment oi the two peoples toward one an- other is not hostility or bitterness, but a healthy, temperate, goodâ€" natured rivalry. “Germany is very proud of the progress which Count Zeppelin and Iour other aeronauts have made.

Every street was a river while the storm was at its height, and heavy damage was caused in all parts of the town. Cellars in different sections were flooded and much damage caused to private proâ€" perty, particularly to gardens. To the south of the town, where the .full effect of the cloudburst was felt, one lad who was in the field after the cows was compelled to swim. The land was low and the water rose at an alarming rate. Finally, after wading for some dis- tance, the lad, as well as the cowss, were compelled to swim. v _‘, _._1‘.£..__... _...â€" TIIREE MEN DROWNED. Grand Boat Carried Over Little More Falls.

The'cxact date of the meeting will be decided upon later, but. it will probably will be June 17. The Ger- man Emperor will arrive on the Imperial yacht Hohenzollcrn, while Nicholas will be aboard the Standâ€" art, accompanied by M. Iswolsky, the Foreign Minister. and Admiral Voovodsky, the Minister of Marine. The news of the proposed inter~ ing so soon fter the settlement of the Balkan crisis, has aroused oug- er speculation among the diplomats a Deoidedly Peaceful Stage. at St. Pctersburg. It was supposed in some quarters that German medi- ation, which had ended the crisis, had left an inheritance of bitter- ucss which would estrange the two. lll'rmarcus and lead Russia to identi- fy herself more closely with Great Britain’s continental policy. Thomceting, which, according to some reports, has been arranged by the initiative of Empe-ror‘Nicholas, is taken to mean that Russia prefers an amicable arrangement with Ger- many to the doubtful issue of an' antagonistic policy. If Emperor William also meets President Fal- view between the Sovereigns, comâ€" 3 licres, as reported from Berlin, the i European stxuation may be rcgard~ ‘ ed as entering upon a decidedly peaceful phase.
