In the eighth innings they scored two, but were blanked in the ninth. Meanwhile the Eden score kept rolling up. Final result : 13â€"9 in favor of Eden.

Mr. Editor, it was not my intention to take up any more of your valuable Space in connection with the charge made against a couple of Oakwood boys in the issue of two weeks ago, but in the last issue of the Post there ap- pears an article in which they deny all knowledge of the charge. Now to be brief, I will say there are {our different persons who can vouch to the fact that the person whose name is at the bottom of the article in the Post and his wheeling companion are the parties who committed the offence. They also say when I was at first approached by some who were interested in the affair, I denied all knowledge of the case, which is a down right falsehood- The first words which passed between the two persons interested and myself were, “Did you put that piece in the paper P” I replied “No,” and after listening to all their awful threats, which were, you may depend, enough to scare the stoutest-hearted kitten in the village, I calmly said I had written it for the paper. As for the rest contained in the paragraphâ€"well. my worthy friend scribe do not say any more about mean insinuations.

L â€"The Midland Argus says : A horrible tragedy was enacted in a small house near the 01d Fortearly Wednesday morning, 16th inst., when Silick Vircent, an old and highly respected resident of that place, took his own life. Between six and ‘ seven o’clock Mrs. Vincent went out to !1 the barn to milk leaving her husband in I the house. In a very few minutes she was startled by the report of a gun and going back to the house found her hus- 1 l l 1 band sitting in a chair in the kitchen with j a shot gun resting between his legs and ‘ his head blown to pieces. The weapon used was a double-barrel breach-loading shotgun and from appearances the old 1 man had placed the muzzle in his mouth and touched the trigger with his foot. Mrs. Vincent immediately notified her son George upon a part of whose farm the old couple resided and he in turn notified Dr. Wailbridge, coroner, who after view- ing the body decided that an inquest was unnecessary. Mr. Vincent for many years was a farmer near Port Hope and later on be purchased a property at the head of Rice Lake where he resided until 1 about eight years ago when be disposed of the property and moved to this section going to live with his son.

The circumstances are as follows : Last December two men, Per- kins and McKay, were crossing in Parry Sound district, at one of the lumber camps of Turner and Fisher, when both, without a moments warning, broke through the thin ice. Perkins was d'owned, but McKay clung to the ice and. with his cries,was able to attract the notice of the men in the lumber camp on the shores. One of them, Donald Mc Donald, at once attempted a re s us. With a pole McDonald ran out on the ice, and when near McKay extended him. self a full length on the thin ice. and reached McKay with the pole. The water meantime‘was lapping over McDonald’s chest in his position on the bending ice, and finding that he was being drawn into the hole by McKay pulling on the other end, called out to men on the shore t’ pass out to him a second pole. Retain ing his hold on the pole, the other end being grasped by the drowning man with one hand, and with the other hand held ing the second pole which had been pass ed to him by one of those who had ventured from the shore. with a. strong pull McDonald and McKay were puued to a. piece of safety. Later on the cue was brought: to the notice of the proper authorities by Mr. Bennett, M P., and s few dare ago he had the satisfaction of receiving for Mt. McDonald the hand- some bronze medal presented by the Royal Society for saving life. with a l certificate accompanying the same. â€"With apologies to Kipling. WMfi
