Thanksgiving Day, around here at least, terribly belies its name.

Last session of the Legislature a Bill was introduced to leavy a heavy tax upon dogs increasing with the number kept, but it ‘ Was held over till next session for inquiry. It is to be hoped that at next session the tax will be placed at $5 for a dog and $10 for a bitch, doubling for each increase in number.â€"Bob.

They dashed along at a furious pace till a short distance east of the Five Points, when the vehicle collaps- ed, and the horses left it behind as they eclattered down Dunlop st. When the smash came the children were thrown under the debris, from which they were extricated unhurt. save for a slight cut one of them received on the side of the head. Their escape was wonderful. The vehicle was badly smashed. â€"About three weeks ago Mr. Robt. K. Connell had the misfortune to fall down stairs at his place of residence in Toronto. the Elliot House, and break his hip. He was conveyed to St. Michael’s hospital, and given every care, but the shock pro v- ed more than he could withstand, and he [expired on Sunday afternoon last. Mr. Connell was sixty-eight years of age, and was the second son of Mr. Henry Council, of Bridgefleld. Castlemartyr, Co. Cork, Ire- land. He had three brothers, Kenah, John and Henry, and with the latter he came to teis country '69. At first they purchased a farm in Mariposa, but Mr. Council had been for a number of years engaged in a shipping office at Liverpool. and the opportunity offered, he accepted charge of the books of Mr. Mossom Boyd‘ This position he held for 26 years, passing through three firms, Mossom Boyd 8: 00., after the death of Mr. Mossom Boyd, and The Mossom Boyd Co'y after the death of Q any “7â€"-__ __ The Mossom Boyd Co'y after the death of Mr. John Mscdonsld. On ceasing his eon- nection with the firm, being unmarried, and without ties he went to Toronto, for one reason to be more in touch with finen- cisl afi‘slrs, and that town life was more congenial to the tsetes of his younger days. Mr. Connell was reserved in social intercourse, and made few intimates, but with those he was staunch, true and un- changing. The funeral took pines in Tor- onto on Tueidny. â€"Orillia News-Letter: One of the sad. dest accidents that has ever occurred in this neighborhood took place at the resi dence of Richard Kelly. in North Orillia’ on Saturday last. when his daughter’ Mary, was fatally shot by the acciden discharge of a rifle. The story as given is as follows: On Friday the deceased girl's young brother Richard, aged 14, through a trade of some kind. became the proud owner of a. second-hand 44 calibre breech- ‘ loading rifle. On Saturday he had been‘ doing some shooting and inithe evening he undertook to clean the rifle. The job com- pleted to his satisfaction he then went into the kitchen where his mother and sis_ ter were and started to explain the mech, anism of the gun to his mother. The sis- ter at time was sitting at the table opn 0. site her mother and brother, doing some writing. By some means acartrige had :been left in the gun, possibly put in by young Kelly the better to explain the working of the piece. The mother became very interested and took the gun in her own hands to look at it. It was at full cock, and iust how it happened no one knows, but the weapon was discharged point blank at the daughter, who was only about six feet distant. The bullet struck the edge of the table, against which the girl was leaning, then penetrat- ed her abdomen, passing clean through the body and out at her back. In the ab- sence of Immediate medicalv assistance- wlth the help (sf-friends, everything poss- ible was done for the unfortunate girl_ A neighbor was summoned and deapatch- 1 ed post-haste to town {or medical aid. Dr. A. Harvie at once drove out, arriving on the scene about two hours after the sad event occurred. He at once saw that it was impossible for the girl to recover and all he could do was to alleviate. to some extent, her suflerings. The shooting oc curred at about 7.30 in the evening and she lingered, conscious till within five minutes of the end, until 330 Sunday morning. THE WATCHMAN-WARDER : LINDSAY. UNTa FARMS WANTED!
