The deceased was a son of the late John O’Connor, who resided in the east ward for many years. His age was about forty years and he was married to a daughter of Mr. Peter Massau. of ‘Lindsay. A sad incident in connection.‘ comes in from the fact that Mrs. O’Connor had been in Lindsay visiting her relatives and could not possibly haVe arrived at her home in Bay City until about mid-day on Friday, and it is not known whether the accident had occured prior to her arrival or whether it was immediately after. It was a sad home coming. eBears are reported very plentiful in the back country and hear stories are beginn- fit ing to crop up. Out in Minden Township C the other day Geo. MKcay discoveredthree a1 young bears in a beech tree gathering at their fall supply of nuts, while at the g bottom of the tree stood Mrs. Bruin on V guard. The young members of the ursus family were busily shaking down the nuts, while the “old lady" gathered ’em up and put them neatly in the bag to take home. Mr. Mckay had his trusty rifle with him and shot the whole family, and also appro- peratcd the bag of nuts ..... In North Orillia bears have also been playing havoc with the swine and sheep. Mr. Calverly succeeded in knocking over with a single barel muzzle-loader a bear that measured over 7' feet from “tip to tip,” and weighed when dressed 270 pounds. The animal é was in fine condition and iucy steaks were in order. From his back alone no less than 47 pounds of fat was taken. -â€"â€"While driving home from Lindsay on ‘ Saturday evening last with a load of ‘ empty egg cases, Mr. E. Woollard of Dunsford. had a very narrow escape from fatal injury. He was riding on top of the boxes, and when about six miles from town, at what is known as Jackson’s hill, a parcel on which he was sitting lurched to one side, throwing him to the ground. In falling his head came in violent contact with one ot the wheels. Fortunately the horses stopped when the accident occurred, or he would have been crushed, as he fell directly between the wheels. Procuring a bufl‘a‘o robe from ofi‘ the wagon he lay down by the road- side, and soon became unconscious. In this condition he was found a short while i after by a passing farmer, and assisted on1 his rig. After driving about a mile 3. he became suddenly faint, and was com- .‘1‘ polled to remain at a farm house until I8 morning, when. he wys removed to his .11 home.

The steamer Crandella will run an excursion from Lindsay, leaving the new wharf about 8.30. Hundreds in this neighborhood would like to see Mr. Boyd’s stock. â€"At an eariy hour Sunday morning fire was discovered in the steamer Columbian, which was lying at the dock at Bobcaygeon.

It is a noticable fact that the cats have all disappeared from that section. â€"For some time past Mr. A. Silver, who is undoubtadly a genius,has been per- fecting what is known as “the Silver Patent Letters.” These consist of several sizes of neat gothic letters specially hard- ened until they will stand the wear and tear of our Canadian climate. This simply means that the letter will stand any climate in the world. A feature poss- essed by these letters that is not by any other letter made is that they can be used on wire screens for banks. offices, etc. A great source of annoyance herefore with window letters has been their liability to drop ofl’ at any time. This is ' entirely overcome in the silver letters, and when once fastened on a window they will remain there until removed with a chisel. Neither heat nor frost affect them. They ca nbe furnished in plain white, or in gold, silver or mottled design, the latter being very attractive. Acompany with Mr. J. H.

My blble says:â€"“The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth to a man, neither shall man put on a woman’s gar- ments, for all that do so are an abomina- tion unto the Lord thy God” I would not deny to a woman any of the rights that belong to her, rights of education, position, property, of earning a living in the various professions, or the rights of the franchise, but this matter of dress is settled by the Lord himself, and I thvre- fore express it as my firm conviction 1. ed on the divme book. that a woman w . lose more than she gains by the treating ’ ot‘ bloomers or other masculine or set-ri- ' masculine attire.
