The afternoon train from Lon- don had left St. Mary’s station, and was approaching the junction. A number of section men, of whom Brophy was one, were working: on the rails. The enginecr blew his whistle, and all the men not ‘out of the road with the exception of Brophy. who was slightly deaf. He was struck by the locomotive, and the head was com- pletely severed from the trunk, being hurled some twelve feet to one side. A high wind was blowing towards the approaching train, and it is possible that the unfortunate man did not hear the whistle. â€"Recently while returning to Glencairn from New Lowell, Simcoe county, Mr. Samuel Gowan met with an accidin lmtwost him his life.

Curious to know what its contents were Mr. Max- well removed the cover, which was not nailed down, and was horrified to find that it containela smaller coffin, neatly~ covered with black cloth. and on top of it rested a boquet of flowers, apparently quite fresh. Naturally Maxwell’s fir-t impulse was to notify the authorities, but he decided to make a clo=er investigation, and when he removed the glass and looked in there lay the remains of some little girl's pet cat. Maxwell tenderly replaced the cover, and left poor tabby just as he found her, while the wind whistled a mournful dirge through the pine tops overhead. â€"Fully six thousand sportsmen are now ‘ ranging the northern hunting grounds in chase of deer. This is the estimate of Chief Game Warden Tinsley, basei upon the number as licenses issued this season to hunters and settlers. This official further calculates thar each of these 6,000 sportsmen kills at least one deer on an average. Nortwithstanding this the game warden estimates that they are increasing.

The oppositions and independonts seem to have alike fared badly, both being ail but wiped out. The premier, Mr. Haultain, has almost; c0ntinuously been in power since 1891,‘ when he wan elected chairman of the first executive committee. The committee was defeated in August, 1892, and Mr. Hault‘iin xe~i2ned, but only to return to power in December of the same year, since then he has continued in office, Mr. Ross, his chief colleague. was in the North West counci! from 1883 until its abolition. and he has been amember of the assemby since 1888; was elected speaker in 1891. and in 1894 became a. memb r of the Haultain government.

At about 7 o’clock in the evening Mrs. McLeod was seated near the door of her home, she heard what she thought to be the cry of a baby but paid no particular attention to it until the cry had been repeated, when she went to the door. Upon the door-step she found an old peach basket which to her surprise contained a little baby three weeks or a month old. Mr:. McLeod ‘ immediately took the child in out of the cold and then notified the authorities The basket also contained a bottle of milk iu which had been mixed whisky, with the evident intention of keeping the child from cr ing. The baby is a healthy little boy, w o appeared to take his change of circumstances must complacently.
