TERRIFIC STORMâ€"On Thursday eve- ning a sevei e gale from the southwest burst over a section of ‘the country and continued all Friday. No dam- age of any account was reported in town [but many fences throughout the sur- grounding country were blown down ;and destroyed. The government light keeper, Mr. R. Gorden, and W. H. , Floyd, had a. lively time trying to light f be lamp on Langevin pier. The waves ran mountains‘high, and fre- quently filled the lamp hanging at the mast head with water. After several ‘attemps to keep the light going, they gave up the job and returned home. When it was noticed that the light was not burning, a number who had seen them proceeding toward the pier sur- mised that they-had been washed into t e lake and drowned.

HORSE KILLEn.-â€"A few days ago the Symington 00., of Gravenhuret, lost a valuable team at one of their camps in Freeman township. A tree fell in an un- expected direction and in line with a team. One of the horses saw the falling pine, and jumped to one sid, dragging its chmpanion right under the falling mass. '1 he luckiess horse was crushed to death instantly, while the other horse escaped without injury. to die next; day, curiously enough, of inflammation. SHOOT THEM ON Swenâ€"Whatever may be the meaning of the order-in-cohrt which permits settlers to kill deer wirhuut license for their own use and near their own house, the settlers generally are giving themselves the full bene‘it of the duubtful privileged and are going into the chase as usual withuut regard to the bits of manilla. paper which the Govern- ment agents retail at $2 eachâ€"Banner.

ELDON. is all DEER Hummusâ€"The woods in this locality have more hunters than deer, the gnumber gone into the woods here this lseason is entirely beyond precedenx. in ‘fict so numerous are they that they ha\ 6 become almost as dangerous to each other as to the deer which they are driving clean away from their usual haunts. Three or four days before the season opened large hunting ptrties passed through here to camp In the hunting districts, and some of them seem to haVe gone to work as soon as they got their camps settled. In this village the reports of rifle shots could be heard all day long on Sunday last, tl.e writer counted five shots fired inside of ten minutes at five o’clock Sunday even- ing in the west side of Anson township. so that the havoc by outsiders. who seem regardless ofllaw or decency. Was begun before those living on the spot could legally do any hunting. The whole ques- tion of game protection requires revision. In the past the opinions of the city sports who have only studied their own interests have preVailed while the interests of the settlers have been ignored. It is a ques- tion Worth discussion whether any eonsti- tutional power exists to prevent a man from killing game on his own property; also whether licenses issued giving power to strangers to trespass upon deeded pro- perty to either kill or drive away game therefrom have any validity. The law as it now stands is a huge farce and the uncertainty of its operations by the officers in charge whose duty is to see it carried ~Iout faithfully makes the matter doubly farcical. One thing Certain is, that the use of dogs must be abolished. The racks ‘ of hungry brutes that are brought back here every seasOn and let loose to kill‘ and destroy anything and everything destructible without let or hindrance by‘ those who. bring them here if allowed to continue will drive the settlers to destroy all strange dogs found on their premises. We do not, however. say that all the hunters who come here are so regardless of the rights of othersâ€" there are honorable exceptions.

Mr. Mile's Henderson has lost one of his sons, Albert, a fine boy about 10 years of age; two others of the family are down wizh the disease. Dr. Curry was telegraphed for in great haste on Wednesday morning last, as the eldest boy had got a relapse. Great sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Henderson in their severe affliction. It: appears there has been diphtheria in one of the lumber camps north and that it was from that source the disease sprang. A case occurred where the patient was sent from the camp to the Huntsville hospital and he was placed in a separate building. This did not suit him and he left there, going to DorSclJ, where he had a meal in one of the hotels and visited several places in the village, then he started to walk home. calling in settlers houses for meals and was kept over night by generous-hearted people in two or thre places where they did not- know the nature of the disease; in one place he stopped over night where there was a family of small children; and it was hard to say what may yet be result of the visits of athe heartless wretch who knew the danger he was carrying with him to the kind people who were willing to assist him. A severe penalty should be inflicted on such a wretch. THE WATChn/IAN, OBITUARY.â€"Newa have been received here of the death of Jae. B. May of Aylmer. a young man well known in this locality. Deceased contracted a cold last winter, which, despite the best of medical skill. gradually restored itself into consumption, death taking place on the 25th of October last. OBIT.--Mr. Robert Cook of Lochlin, in the (Ownshlp of Minden, died at his resi- dence on Thursday last after a lingering illness from consumption. He leaves a. widow, a son, who is at; home, and a married daughter to mourn a kind hus- band and :father. Mr. Cook was highly respected by all who knew him. His funeral was very largely attended. Many in .he village were prevented from attending owing to the funeral of Muss Burn at the same time.
