A desperate attack was made upon Mr. David Fowler, a well-known resident of Emily township, living near Laxraster’s bridge, a few days ago. Mr. Robert ioates, a neighbor, had called over in the evening to visit Mr. Fowler, who resides alone. and after a chat had left for home. ,Mr. Fowler soon after retired for the night, but at a. late hour was aroused from his slumbcrs by a sharp knock at the door. Mr. Fowler demanded to know who was there, and one of the men answered “Robert Boates.” Thinking Mr. Boates had returned for something Mr. Fowler got up and unlocked the door. instantly two men pounced upon him and beat him furiously. ()ne of the assailants carried a large club and with this he straightway belabored thejdefenceless resi- dent, striking him on the side of the nose, making a. horrible gash. Mr. Fowler was also struck on the head with the missle, near the temple, and rendered insensible. The ruflians then made good 1 their escape, leaving their victim alone in the house. Mr. Fowler was found in a weak Condition, suffering from his wounds, which were painful, by some neighbors the next morning. He is now recovered, but has no idea who his assailents were or what motive they had in committing such an aggravated assault upon him. â€"The meeting next Sunday at 4.15 will be for men only as customary.

We have been favored, however, by severe frosts this winter, and it is believed that the potato bugs have been frozen up beyond ressurection. An authority says the farmers can expect an immunity from this plaque for the ensuing year. â€"It was a. Collegiate Institute girl who asked: “Why is it that two souls mated in the impenetrable mystery of their nativity float by each other on the ocean current of existence without being in- stinctivelv drawn together, blended and beautified in the assimilated alembic of eternal love?” The bad boy replied, “It is because potatoes are 50 cents a bushel and a good seal skin suck coat costs as high as $500.” ' “The Ontario Miller says :~r~~}*lvery mill and elevator in the province is filled with wheat. The mills simply cannnt buy wheat beCuuse they cannot sell flour.

This made his wife mad and she demanded double rates for her part in the transaction. The clause in the Pharmacy Act bill before the Ontario Legislature, prohi- biting any persons, except duly qualified druggists. from selling patent medicines. etc., and also prohibiting doctors from compounding prescriptions, has been dropped. The newspapers killed it. â€"Mr. A. E. Dixon, a public spirited and open hearted barrister of Peterboro, has presented to the town a finely wooded block of land for public park purposes. It will doubtless be called Dixon park. Such an act is certainly worthy of imita- tion and commendation. â€"An exchange tells us of a school teacher who has introdeceda novel system of spelling in her school.
