His home. where I): made the 5 st h aring in the unknown forest in 1778. was on the Lake Ontario shore, on lot No. 4, broken front, East Whitby, where the Boys‘ Brigades were camping last summer. The captain now sleeps in Port Oshawa burial ground, close beside his former home. Some eighty years ago last June he raised a large frame barn on his farm. There being but few whites about there (1809) he got the Indians, who were camping near, to help him a: the raising. Little active fellows they were, and most efficient at a barn raising, being able to go aloft without a tremor. A few days ago Mr. Conant removed this barn to the adjoining lot 5, had it re-ralsed, but this tune by white men, since there is now no Indians nearer than the reservation on Sougog Island, 25 miles away. The timbers were found to be perfectly sound, and made of the finest clear stuEâ€"plneâ€"of a quality not now obtainable. ORILLIA SrRUCK BY A Tumâ€"Last Thurs- day evening Daniel I.

The firemen several times traced the flames to itile piles of chips sud showings. Sometimes the msenel was saturated FENELON FALLS ACCIDENT.â€"Mr. Paul Sova’s second son Ernest, about 12 years old, met with a very painful accident in the big mill on Saturday last. While working at the lath machine, a piece of lath fully half and inch wide struck him on the edgeof his left hand and was forc ed entirely through between the palm and the bones. projecting nearly an inch on the other side. His father, who is also employed in the mill, tried to pull out the piece of wood, which was over a foot long, but only broke it. after which he took the boy to Dr. Graham, who adminstered chloroform; and then drew out the piece in his hand, but not from the side at which it lentered, as it might have left splinters in the wound. The doctor does no: consider the accident a very serious one, and thinks the patient will be all right again before long ...... 00‘ Saturday last. while Mr. John Mc: Lennan, a blacksmith in the employ of Mr. Charles Kelly at the Falls, was nailing a shoe on one of the hind feet of a' horse owned by Mr. Day of Fenelon, the animal suddenly jerked its foot forward, and then kicked with such force that Mr. McLenuau, who was struck on the top of his right leg iust below the groin, was knocked hall the length of the shop. Fortunately he had on a thick pair of drawers under his trousers, and a stout leather apron above, which no doubt saved him from serious injury ; but 'the flesh was badly bruised, and on Monday, not feeling able to work. he went to his home at Argyleâ€"Gazette.

Taylor, our efficient township clerk. had a very narrow escape from a serious accident. A short brace fell from its position and landed on Mr. Taylor’s head. It struck a girth in falling, and to some extent broke the force of the fall. Mr. Taylor was knocked down and dazed for a few moments, but soon recovered. It was a very close shave. The building, when completed, will be a model barn at. an approximate cost of $1,000. The young people met in the evening and carried enjoyment into the early hours_of the morning.

DIEDâ€"The village wee ’very much ehOcked on Tueeday morning when it was learned that Mr. L W. Ross had died in Toronto on the previous evening. He had been away for a few ween holidays, visiting reletives at Chicago, London and Hamilton, and returned home on Wednes- day week. On the way home he noticed ‘3 peculiar feeling in hie left hand, and at Peterboro mentioned that he thought it might be the first efl'ecte of poison ivy. The pain increased and extended up the arm. but he went to the office until Silur- day afternoon when the pain was eo troublesome that he went home.

Two men from the shore of lake Ontario have been about for some time gathering this gum. They- have climbers on their legs similar to the climbers of the tele- graph men, and with a small hatchet and a bag fastened on the arm, they climb up and chop ofi' the gum. They made a splendid haul from the swamp by Mr. Fred Steele’s in Verulam, getting 400 lbs. in three days. They have shipped from here to the buyer in Brockville about 600 lbs.. and it is said they get $6 a hundred weight delivered on the boat here; ‘ Aitogether'about 700 pounds have been shipped from here, and the gstherers are moving east.

At the station house they confessed without the least apparent concern that they were responsible for the fires, and when they appeared in the police court they all pleaded guilty. “We just wanted to see the reels and engines come out.” one of them said. “It was just for fun.” No less than ten fires were started during the present month.‘ “It is a most sesious offence,” saidl the magistrate “Higgins will go to the Penetangulshene reformatory for three years.
