This, accompanied by a strong wind, created sad havoc in the township, more especially in West Ops, where :the storm is said to have been most intense. The bail fell in such quantity as to completely cover the ground and it could be picked up in handfuls. The crops, as a result, fared badly, and many farmers, it is said, sus- tained heaVy losses. The Post was inâ€" formed this morning by aresident of West Ops that the farms of Collins, Hugh Gunn and Sharpe Cfared! badly, the crops being levelled to the} I ground.

The aldermen re- turned to the Council Chamber very much dissatisfied with the work. The Post, n conversation with a member of the Board of Education, last evening was informed that the contractor had stated that the founâ€" E dation was not nearly completed. It ‘required to be evened up, and plast- .ered, and when the work was finished it would prove highly satisfactory to all concerned. The Post was further informed that the architect had ex- pressed himself as being responsible for the work and felt satisfied that ‘when the foundation was completed ‘it would prove a first-class job. Some of the aldermen were of the ) iopinion that the timber used in the frames for holding the cement was not ‘ of sufficient thickness, and this caused 1 }the foundation to bulge somewhat. 1 E The Board of Education has had an t1 iinspector on the job for the past .' ten days. 1 Henry Houzet’s Painful Injuries Eight Year old Boy Met V ent Wednesday the eight-year-old son of Mr. J.
