A SAD Exciseâ€"It is a sad ending of a bright young young life we have to chronicle in the death of Miss Annie LOgan, daughter of our respected citizen, Mr. H. Legan, which occurred on Monday last as the result of a runaway accident on College-ave, Toronto, a few weeks ago. She became suddenly worse on Saturday and a surgical operation was performed, but without bringing the desired result, and she slowly sank until Monday morn- ing, when she passed away. The most profound sorrow at the unfortunate cir- cumstance is general, and on the arrival of the morning train on Tuesday. a large number of the citizens assembled at the station to tender their sympathy and assistance to the sorrowing friends. The The body was removed to the family resi- deuce. â€"â€"â€"+â€" â€"_ FENELON FALLS HYMEXEAL.â€"The Methodist church, Fenelon Falls, was crowded to the very doors at seven o‘clock on Wednesday evening by villagers and others anxious to witness the marriage of Mr. Ellsworth Stoddard of Saginaw, Mich., to Maud, youngest daughter of Mr. J- J. Wilson of Fenelon Falls. The bride,who was given away by her father, was richly attired in a gown of cream cashmere, with white veil and orange blossoms, and dresses of the same material and color were worn by the two bridesmaid, .‘v‘liss L‘zzie Wilswn of Islay and Miss Libbie Fisk cf Fenelon. The groomsmen \i'ere Mr. M. J. Wilson, brother of the bride, and Mr, Joseph L;e; and Mr. Wilson of Islay, cousin of the bride, and Mr. William Welsh of Fenelon Falls officiated as ushcrs. The marriage ceremony, which only takes a few min- utes, was performed by Rev. T. P Steel, pastor otthc church, and at the Conclu- sion the usual congratulations followed, after which the newly-married couple and the other members cf the wedding party were driven to the residence of the bride’s parents, which was filled to almost over- flowing by relatives of the family, many of whom had come long distances to be present on the auspicious occasion. There was a sumptuous repas';, to which all did ample justice, and the numerous presents to the brideâ€"some of them of considerable valueâ€"were greatly admired. The happy pair left by the morning train for a trip to Saginaw, and will return in a fortnight. The groom, who came to the Falls nearly three years ago, is man- ager of the box factory, and is spoken of in the highest terms by all who know him. The bride was born in the township of Verulam, but has lived here nearly all her life, and is one of the prettist of the scores of pretty girls of whom the village is justly proud. ANOTHER SILO.â€"â€"A fine large silo has just been built on McDougall, Brandon 6.: Austin’s farm ad Joining the village, under the superintendence of Mr. Williim Tip- ling. It is of three-inch Norway pine plank, planed on both sides, on a good stone foundation, is 18 feet in diameter, 24 feet deep and will hold 130 tons of cut fodder. The silo itself is round, but the roof is octagonal, which is somewhat easier to build and has a better appear- ance. ’Cooxs.â€"Last Saturday one of the sons of Mr. James Armstrong of Somerville was at the Falls with the skins cf three young raccoons, which were found under a stump on the farm and killed after a hard fight by Mr. Armstrong’s dog. As the animals were only about half growu, and the skins had not acquired the color of maturity, the young man could not get for them what he thought they were worth, and therefore took them home him. ACCIDENT.â€"-While Mr. Walter Mr Coll’s eldest son, Percy, about 12 years old, was splitting wood in his father’s yard last. Friday afternoon, the axe came in contact with a clothes line overhead, and in its descent struck the instep of his right foot on which it inflicted an ugly gash, cutting clean to the bone and partly severing one of the tendons. Dr. Wilson, who was at once sent for, put three stitches in the wound and bound it up, and Master Percy is now hopping around upon crutchesâ€"Gazette. Special to the Watchman. Dssrnuc'rrvs Franâ€"On Saturday morning last about ten o’clock the cry of fire spread through our village, and on enquiry it was found that Ellis’ lumber yard was on fire. The fire, which was supposed to have caught from a spark from the engine of the morning train, caused great damage to the lumber in the yard as only two small pieces were left out of over one million feet of lumber, and it was by great effort of the few workers the mill was saved.

A YOUNG LIFE SAVED IN A RE- MARKABLE MANNER. position of foreman in a large saw His family will leave for that place a regmliug my recent trip to England. Uti er writers have given accoun.!s.of their voyages and places they have visited, but as [am a Working mm myself, I would like to say a few words about the working class and the farmers of England. I left England for Canada in the year 1891 and returned in 1896, remaining bout thirteen months. For ten or eleven months I resided in the city of Croydon and the remaining tune I spent in the country. The wages piid for carpenters m ()mydon Was from 8 pence to 9 pence per hour; for bricklayers 10' penCe; for oricklayvr's laborers 6 to 71% pence; and other laborers a pound (sterling) to thirty shillings per week. The men in England do not have to work so hard as here. [here is not so much rush, and they don’t seem to be in such a hurry to get the work done. During the last two winters there has been no frost worth mentioning FLORENCE STURDIVANT, or GRINDSTONE that is to interfere with the building ISLAND, SAVED FROM AN UNTIMELY DEATHâ€"HER PARENTS SAW HER BUT few places, and bicycles were used all DANGEROUS PREDICAMENT, WERE HELPLESS TO HOW SHE WAS RESCUED. Among the Thousand is one called Grindstone. It is seven miles long and three miles wide. The inhabitants of this island are a well informed class of people who devote their energies to farming and quarry- ing for a livelihood. In the home ,of one of theSe islanders resides Florence J. Sturdiv'ant, the four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Sturdivant. In February, 1896, she was taken with scarlet fever, and after the usual run of the fever she was left with a. weak hack and gradually began to loose strength, until finally deSpite the bests efforts of physicians her life hung in the balance. It was at this crisis, when all seemed darkest, that an angle of health appeared on the scene and released little Florence from pain and suffering and restored her to health and strength. The remarkable occurrence is best told in the words of the father. Islands FLORENCE J. STURDIVANT. Mr. Sturdivnnt said : Florence was taken sick with scarlet fever and we immediately called a physician. Hc prescribed for her and we followed his directions closely, giving our little patient the best of care. After two weeks the fever subsided, but Florence Was left with a very weak back. Sewre pains were constantly in the back and stomach. \Ve did all that possibly could be done to relieve our little sufferer, but to no avail. The difficulty seemed to baffle all the eflorts of the physician. “Finally, at the end of four mouths of treatment, we found our patient completely prostrated. At this time we called another physician, who agreed with the diagnosis of our own doctOr, and said the trouble resulted from the scarlet fever. He prescribed a course of treatment- and we followed it faithfully for three months, but instead of improving, Florence failed. “Mrs. Sturdivant and myself were completely discouraged. A brother of my wife, who Was Visiting with us, advised us to use Dr. Willi-ims’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and I purchased a box of the pills and began to give them to Florence. This was in October, 1896. After using thepills a short time we could see an improve- ment. Her strength began to return and she would sit up in the bed. Her appetite was restored and she ate heartily. We also noticed a gradual brightness in her eyes. "We eagerly purchased a further supply of pills and watched with delight the change for the better that was being wrought daily. From sitting up in the bed at times during the day and at times standing on her feet, Florence finally became strong enough to walk a little. She gained in flesh and strength rapidly and the pains gradually left her. In a month’s time she had recovered her health and strength. “We cannot praise too highly the value of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I am postive that without their use our child would have been today in the same sad condition of her early sick- nessâ€"a confirmed invalid_if indeed she had had the strength to withstand so long the ills of her affliction.” (Signed) WILLIAM H.

Try Our .1 ob ‘ Departme'n All) 11 ERâ€" trade' Last winter there was only a day or two in which they could not ploughâ€" the still water was only frozen over in a winter. English people did not have such red complexions as they used to have. The reason given me was that “ that they are using so much foreign meat now, and there is no blo.id in it.” Taking everything into oonsideratbn there is not much difference in the cost of living between England and Cinada. Groceries and clothing are cheaper there than here, and it does not out half so much for fuel in the win'er. I found the times in E igland much better than I ex- peited. Any one who left England twenty-fiVe or t iirty years ago, must not think things are the same as then, and that every- thing has been at a standstill. English provisions 81.8 clear, but foreign are cheap. English beef is from 10 pence to a shilling a pound; for the best mutton 8 to 10 pence per lb. The rougher meats about the same as here. There are so mmy gentry there that everything first- thing first-class sells at a high price. Foreign prices are: Mutton, 1% to 6 pence per 1b.; beef, 2% to 10 pence. There are butcher shops where they say they only sell English meats, and Others where they sell only foreign kinds. I chanced to be standing outside of a butcher shop one day when the butcher remarked to a man, “Why, there are people asking me if they still cut the grain in the old style.” Now. I will tell you about the farm at which I was visiting for a time. My brother-in-law is bailifl‘ on a farm of 1,700 acres, and has the buying and selling of everything. The land is heavy and they plough with three horses, single. The wagons which they use are heavier than those used here. They have four mow- ing micliines, one machine to shake the hay out and one to turn it over; one hay rake and two elevators to throw the hay on the Stacks. They do not use a selt- binder. Instead, they mow the grain and tie it. The binder will not work on many of the farms where the land is heavy, as they plough it into small lands and there are too many furrows for it to work well. They also cut a great deal with a book. There are about forty houses on this farm and the rent was about three shill ings per week. Each house has a large garden with fruit, which some years nearly pays the rent. Farming men make 25. (id. per day in haying and bar vest, till 5.30. and after whleh they get 4 pence per hour, with an allowance of a shilling a d .y for beer. As faras I can see, farming is better in England than Canada at present. A farm of from 50 to 600 acres can be rented at fron 10 to 20 shill- ings per acre, but there are not many rented as high as 20 shillings. Then, if it is a large farm, the shooting can be sold for £20 to £40 per year. The price of oats is 2s. to 25. 6d; barley, 3s. 6d. to 48.; hay. £4 per ton; beef, live weight, (id. to 715d. a 1b.; lambs, 30s. each. A calf ten weeks old sells for £5. Chicneks, 2s. 6d. to 33. each; bucks. 33. to 6d. Milking cows cost £15 to £20 each; and straw sells at £2 103. a load. The fresh pork which they use in England is killed young, weighirg about 60 or 90 pounds. Horses cost from £20 to £60 each. Th. re has been quite a lot written in the papers about what kind of bacon would sell best in England. The firmer the bacon is the better price it will bring. I bought a piece of bacon in the city of Croydon, 10 miles from London, last winter, and when I got it home I found it.- so soft I would not use it, so when I tool: it back they said it was American pork fed on corn. Of course I had to pay a. higher price for better quality. Bacon that is fed on slops or refuse or corn will not fetch a very high price in England. A few years back when I used to work in the packing house in Lindsay, we used to get the hogs from the hotels that were fed on slope, and after it was cured you could tell it. from the other bacon as it was much softer than what was fed on peas.

A man may suspect that his wife is routing a postolficc box from which to get clandestine mail, but; he can’t prove it by the postoilice, for the employees are for- bidden to tell the name of any person who rents a box or drawer. The Press has noted from time to time some of the odd and least understood of the newer rules, nnd it adds here some others from the lat- cst monthly supplement of the Guide. Soldiers, sailors and marines in the ac- tive service of the United States are the only persons in the country who can send their mail C. O. D. If their letters are marked ‘ ‘soldicr’s letter,” “sailor’s letter" or “marinc’s letter,” as the case may be, and under these words appears the signa- ‘ sure of the commanding officer, the P055- age, but at single rates only, Will be col- lected on delivery. It’s queer, but if there is postage due on a letter the postmaster cannot lawfully accept postage stamps in payment. The only legal tender in such a case is money. It is possible that the New York post- ofiice authorities have overlooked that gen- eral rule for postmastcrs in the conduct of their offices which says: “It is important that mail matter be postmarked in a per- fect manner so that each letter and figure of the stamp may be distinct. . A failure on the part of the postmaster to postmark mail legibly not only reflects upon the management of his office, but renders him liable to be charged with delays which have not actually occurred at his office.” Not only are postmasters forbidden to furnish lists of persons receiving mail from their postofficcs, but the wives and families of the postmaster are also forbid- don to tell what the head of the family may have mentioned. As to the members of his family, the enforcement of the pro- hibition is left with the webmastersâ€"New York Press. KITES PUZZLED BY KITES. Other Big Birds, Too, Affected In the Same “fay. Many amusing experiences have been the lot of the scientists who have been manipulating kites for scientific purposes. Large birds are always interested in the strange devices floating in the air and can- not quite make out what they are. Prom pt- ed by sharp curiosity, they hover around the floating kite and subject themselves to the danger of becoming entangled in the silken string and being dragged down to earth. No bird, however, has ever alighted on a kite or attacked one. While one scientist was flying a train of five kites a couple of years ago a large silver tipped eagle came suddenly out of the higher air and swooped round and round the first kite, looking against the sunset sky like a huge silver hull. As the train of kites was pulled in the eagle followed, visiting one kite and then another, seeming uncertain just what to do. In a few minutes, when he seemed to have decided that they were not good to out and he knew nothing about them any- wuy, he indignantly flew OR and was lost to \ iew. Another experience was had with a stark that came from the New Jersey side of the Hudson and flew straight for the queer object in the air. He apparently had made up his mind to go straight through it, but changed and dived underneath. He went around and above it, and through a glass it could be seen that be cooked his eye at the intruder in a most comical manner. lle started away a few hundred foot, l I I ! l l Circular Leh‘er. l l changed his mind and came sweeping! back.

The horse that the Duke of Wellington rode at Waterloo was named Cepenhugcn. When that fearful battle was over, tho horse appeared to sympathize with and upâ€" prcciate his master’s success, for when the duke arrived at headquarters, and, after tossing the bridle reins to a groom, dis- mounted, the horse kicked up his heels in an apparent ecstasy of delight, saying as clearly as it. is possible for a horse to say anything, “Tired as I am, I will make you see that I as well as the rest can show my joy in the victory which my master has achieved.” The duke saw to it that Copenhagen was well provided for in his old age. He had abundant rations, the best of care and was allowed to roam at will in the park at Strathfieldsaye. “His name lives with his master’s, er it is linked with his in history.” Napoleon when at St. Helena once said of his horse: ”He has memory, knowledge and judgment. He distinguishes his mas- ter from his servants, although these are more constantly about him. I had a horse which distinguished me from the rest of the world and which manifested by his bounding and haughty gait when I was upon his back that he carried a man su- perior to those around him. He would not suffer any one to mount him except myself and the groom that took care of him. When I had lost my way, I threw the bridle upon his neck and let him pick his way, with the inevitable result of find- ing the right road.”â€"Harper’s Round Ta- ble. Clan Louise Keno“.
