The case has excited much interest in insurance cxr- â€"A despatoh from Washington says that the President in his message to Con- gress will ask for three armoured cruisers, three protected cruisers. and twelve gun- boats, and also authority for the pur- chase of Krupp armour. An increase of officers and men in the navy.‘ and in- creases in the army to meet new condi- tion in connection with colonies, are pointed out as necessary. â€"Mr. J . J. Kelso of Toronto is in receipt of a letter from Gtavenhnrst wish information of such barbsrlty as benefitted the times of the Druids. A man in that district believes sunlight is loj cations, and for ten years he has lived in a hovel without windows, and in that time no candle has ever been lit. He has seven children, all of whom are in a. ter- rible state of destitution. It is said they are going blind, as they are seldom allowed to go ou'side. The departmet is to investigate. â€"Acoording to a statement issued by the Department of Marine,Canada stands seventh among the maritime countries of the world. -Great Britain and her 001- onies lead, with the United S'atee, Ger. many, Norway, France and Italy next in order. â€"A dastardly and partially successful attempt was made on Sunday night last about nine o’clock to blow up the resi- dence of Fred. Kellar, about three miles north-west of Brigewater. Ont. The re- port of the explosion was plainly heard in Bridgewater, and the concussion was so great that nearly every window in the village rattled. The general belief was that the power works in Tweed had ex- ploded, and it Was not until the following morning that the villagers heard just what had happened. One side of Mr. Kellar’s house was partially blown out as a result of the explosion, and a petition inside completely demolished. Mr. and Mrs. Kellar were sleeping upstairs, and, very fortunately, escaped without injury. â€"â€"An overdose of medicine taken by mistake brought death to Mrs. Aurebus Doolittle of sparrow Lake, with sad and tragic suddenese, last week. Mrs. Doo- little was under treatment for her eyes, ing the girl’s face brains over the floor. â€"A terrible accident occurred Sunday night near Bathurst station, about 10 miles from Perth. whereby a young girl named Minnie Kirkham, aged 14 years, was shot and instantly killed. Deceased was a daughter of James Kirkham of the fifth line of Bathurst. It seems that she and her younger brother were in a room upstairs, and the little fellow grabbed a shotgun from the Fed and started across the floor with it. His sister immediately went to take the gun from him, when in some unaccountable way, it went ofi, tear- and was taking medicine in which there Was arsenic and strychnine. By mistake she took an overdose of this. Shortly aftdrwards she complained of “feeling queer,” and asked whether anything ap- peared to be the matter with her. Within fifteen minutes she was dead_ Mrs. ~Doolittle was one of the best know and most highly respected woman in the neighborhood. She was a sincere Christian and a more than kindly neigh- bour. Her sudden death caused a shock to the whole country side, and she is sincerely mourned. She was the mother of Mr. Smith Doolittle, the well-known lumberman. and of Mr.Herbert Doolittle. -â€"Charlie Rose, a famous scout and Indian fighter, who served as chief scout with Liana-Col.

Mr. Ross has lately been employed in railway yards in Montana, but on hearing of the Canadian contin- gent going to South Africa he threw up his job and came to Canada in an endeav- or to join them. He was too late, how- ever, tnt hopes to be sent over even at this late date. Ross has served in the United States army in three Indian cam- paigns, the Ute war, the Nez Force, and Bannock. ’ He served with Generals Cus- ter, Forsythe, Howard, and McGiobon, and is probably the most noted Indian fighter in the United States. Since 1885 he has served, for a time in the North- West Mounted Police as scout. with the rank of stafl-sergeanr. An office of a who has been with him in rank of staff-sergeant. An 011109 or a local corps, who has been with him in the field, tells the story of what: Ross considers the tightest corner he was ever in.

Nov. 26m, looking hale and hearty. after an absence of exactly eight months. He left the Falls on the 28th of March, and has since then been engaged ona Dominion government survey in" the dis- trict betWeen Ethelbert, about 80 miles from Siftdn, on the Great Northern rail- way, and the Porcupine Hill to the north. In all five townships, comprising an area of about 115,000 acres, were surveyed. IqToronto on Monday Mr. Dickson was interviewed by a representative ot the Globe, to whom he said: “I found a large quantity of very good land which is well adapted for settlement. There Is little timber of any consequence, but the country, excepting a township on the northwest corner which takes in a small portion of the Porcupine Hills, is well watered with beautiful streams of clear water flowing from the Duck Hills. I was much impressed with the progress which this [art of the province is making. Two years ago, when I first went up on this work for the Dominion govern- ment. I did not find a single settler north of Sifton. To day the whole Dauphin country is well dotted with settlers. When I went in last spring there were 30 settlers on the first township which I sur- veyed. The past season has been a very good one, and the crops have turned out very fine. The land has to be cleared by settlers before they can plough it, but the timber is light compared with that in Ontario. A good deal of it has been burned over and the timber is lying down. The difficulties of clearing, there- fore. are not nearly so great as in this Province. 0n the Porcupine Hills were some of the largest spruce I ever saw in my life. This ought to be extremely valuable to the settlers." --On Tuesday William Webb, an em ployee of Mr. Henry Hortop at Eden Mills, Wellington county, had a very strange experience and a miraculous es- cape from death. He ascended a derrick which is 56 feet from the ground, for the purpose of oiling an axle. The machin- ery is driven partly by water and partly by cable. Mr. Webb missed his footing and fell on the cable, .and was carried along at a terrific speed for about 100 yards towards the next derrick. He saw the dangerous position he was placed in and thought of alightlng on the roof of a house, but feared that he wou‘d be car- ried too far and light on a picket fence, which might be death. He passed over trees and buildings, and at last saw his opportunity, falling (fl is some black muck on the banks of the river. He let go his hold and Was thrown about 30 feet further ahead than he expected, landing on soft ground. He turned a complete somersault; his head striking some hard substance, cutting a deep gash in it, and sustained several bruises on his body. â€"Wm. Cook. a section foreman on the Midland railway, was instantly lulled at Wanbausheae last: week. He was removing the jigszer from the track. when an engine, winch was running faster than he expected, struck him.

The reason given is that in is neceSsary in order to bring their reserve up to the (bee and a half o'er cent. standard requir- ed by recent: legislation of the Dominion Parliament. of the eight men who volunteered to get: through the lines to bring assistance. Six of these men were killed. and one was wounded, but Ross reached the rail- way, 150 miles distant, and brought assistance. .He is an Australian by birth, a native of New South Wales, and there could be no better instance required to show the British feeling than Ross’ desire to go to South Africa. â€"The products of the County of Sim ooe House of Refuge form during the year were as followed: Wheat, 150 bush els; barley, 300; pease, 110; oats, 1,000; potatoes, 250; turnlpe, 300; buy, 10 tone; and all vegetables that were required for the lnmztee.

They Were in the inner man, and on opening the door to come out found the outer roan full of fire, the stovepipes having fallen. There was no other way out, so they rushed through the flames to the on er door, which was fastened with a spring look. They failed to unlock the door, bub succeeded in getting it 03 its hinges, and escaped wiih some severe bums abou' the bands and face. â€"There was buried at the Sam Church cemetery at Beaverton on Friday, the last representative in Canada, born on Scottish soil, of a good old Scottish family of military heroes, in the person of John Cameron of BeavertOn, who died on Nov; 21st, at the age of 84 years. Mr. Camer- on was one of seven brothers who came to this country in 1822 with their parents, this being after the restoration of peace following N apoleon’a final oYerthrow.

MCDOUGALL SUFFERBD FOR YEARS AND HIS DOC’IOR TOLD HIM RECOVERY WASIMPOSSIBLEâ€"AGAIN STRONG AND HEALTHY. Farmer and “jack of all trades,” is what Mr. Salter McDougall styled himself when interViewed bv the News recently. Mr. McDougall resides at Alton, about ten miles from Truro, N S., and according to his own statement has been made a new man by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. When interviewed by the News man, Mr. McDougall said: ~“I am only too glad to giVe any information you may want. Anything I can say will not be too good a recommendation for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Up to the year 1888," contin- ued Mr. McDougall, “1 had always enjoy- ed good health. At that time 1 had a severe attack of diphtheria, the after effects of which left me in a deplorable condition. I was troubled with a constant pain in my left side, just below the heart, and at times, dizziness would cause me to throw up my hands and fall on my back or side. My face, hands and feet wou.d swell and turn cold. In this condition I could not move hands or feet and had to be moved like a child. My appetite all but left me and I got very little sleep. I was under the care of a doctor, but got nothing more than occassional temporary relief. Finally I got so low that my friends wrote for my father to come and see me for the last time. This was in January, ’95. That night the doctor told my friends he could do nothing for me, and he doubted if I would live through the night. That night I took a severe fit of vomiting, and raised three pieces of matter, tough and leathery in appearance, and each about three inches long. The vomiting almost choked me, and it required two people to hold me in bed, but lfelt easier after it. I was in this deplorable condition when I was urged by a neighbor to try Dr. Will' iams Pink Pills. It was a hopeless case but I decided to try them. When I told the doctor I Was taking the pills he said they would do me no good ; that I would never be able to work again. But he was mistaken, for the effect was marvellous. Bv March I was able to go out of doors, and could walk quite a distance. I con- tinued using Dr. William’s Pink Pills until I had taken seventeen bUXes, and they have made a new man of me. My health is better than it has been for twenty years, and, notwithstanding the doctor’s prediction, I am able to stand any amount of hard work. I attribute my new manhood and rt gained health to Dr. William's Pink Pills and gratefully recommend them to others in poor health. Apply a drop of oil to the door hingcs to keep them nrom creaking.
