MR. J.

The Dr. IS known here as the promoter of the Ontario and'Huron: Electric Railway fake, a scheme that some of us wat- ered stock holders remember to our sorrow. The free Press says 2â€"“We are pleased Dr. that you referred in your letter to the favorable notices that appeared in the Free Press as to your ability as a railway promoter. It gives us an Opportunity to square ourselves with the public, but shows that you are lacking in good judg- ment. It is true, several favorable notices appeared in this journal in 189:3 and 1896 as to your ability and success as a promoter at Tiverton, Inverhuron, Godrich and orher places but they were written by Henry .fiames Rolstin and published by us it his regueSt. If it were any solace to your vanity to see your name ap- pear in puffs of that description you (fire welcome to all the gratification E;;,§arived from them.” .Vol. 34---No. 1740. tury Book of Facts.” The volume contains nearly seven hundred pages, dzvided into sections on Government .Historv. Biography. General Inform- ation, etc. The bindings are Sub- stantial and attractive... the illustra- tions good and the letter press all that can be desired. The price is within the reach of all and the clas sified information will be found use- ful in every family.

Railway Em- ployee of Havelock, spent a few days in the vicinity visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. Williams, his broth- ers and other friends. Like the rest of the Williams family he is an en- thusiasnic Orangeman and took a trip to Listowel on the 12th. Last week furnished the following grist of accidents in this place and vicinity: On Sunday, the 8th inst., Oshwell, the eight year old sonbf Mr. Ed. Whitten, of this place, who was vis- iting his grandfather, Mr. Wm. Lockhart, near Proton Station, got hold of a loaded revolver thought- lessly left in sight and with boyish curiosity began examining it when it accidentally discharged sending a bullet, 3:? calibre, through the palm of his left hand. Dr. Martin, of Dundalk, dressed the wound which is doing well, but for the fracture of the bone the knuckle joint of the third finger IS likely to be stiff. A few days later the maimed lad fell from a raft into a pond of water and got a complete ducking before get- ting out of his perilous position. Miss Lizzie Laidlaw will accept our congratulations over her success in the recent Normal College Exami- uations, Miss Florence Richardson, of Fleshercon, was in town the early par; of the week. being the guest, of Miss Nettie Brown. Miss May McLean and Miss Carrie Huliett, of St. Catherines, are visit- ing their grandfather, Mr. Geo. Kress, Sr., and other friends. The same evening Mr. Jeremiah Thomson, 4th line, was in town and left his horse untied to make a short call at Rev. Grimshaw’s. The an- imal started and ran up Spring, Elizabeth and Peter streets doing considerable damage to the buggy and marking himself some before be- ing captured. On Tuesday morning Bert Barn- house was at the Station with his father’s horse which took fright at escaping steam from an engine in the yard. Horse and buggy, Bert and another lad with him went over the embankment near the track the wagon turning bodily over twice in On Monday morning Mr. Ed. Strain was returning from the Station when his horse frightened and dashed down the hill at the Orange Hall, but was hung on to by Ed. and brought to 'a. stand still; not, hovvever, until after he had been thrown from the rig and received a severe bruise in the fore- head. FLESEERTON . Mr. and Mrs. \Vill Heard, of this place passed through a few hours of great anxiety on Wednesday even- ing of last week. After tea it was discovered that their little 3 year old boy, who had been out playing was missmg. Inquiry and search was made but nothing could be seen or heard of him and it was at first feared that he might have got into a bog hole not far from home. Be- tween 10 and 11 o’clock Messrs. J, McClocklin and J. Fields found the little fellow in the woods back of Louck’s Mill fully half amile from home and returned him safe and sound to his overjoyed parents. It is thought the little fellow followed some sheep he had been chasing where he was playing. Mrs. Thompson, Sr., relict of the late Francis Thompson, 3rd line, passed away at her home there on Friday evening last after only two or three days’ illness. Her remains were followed by a large funeral cortege and interred in the English Church burial ground at Maxwell on Sabbath forenoon. Deceased was 80 Mr. \V, J. Radly, of the Colling- wood Road attended the Orange cel- ebration at Eugenia on the “ 12th ” and while there conducted himself in a very disorderly manner. On in- formation laid by Constable Whit- ten he was summoned before Magis- trate VanDusen on Saturday even- ing last charged with being “ drunk and disorderly ” to which he pleaded quilty and was fined $1.00 and costs, in all $2.90. The Constable, who only wished to teach the young man a wholesome lesson, and the wit- nesses resigned their fees or it would have been a more costly Spree. Mr. Radly. however. Was prepared to be benefitted by the lesson and advice given him by the Magistrate and said it would be his last offence. Mr. W. Osborn. of Osprey, brother- in-law of W. J. Bellamy, here, in- forms us that during the thunder storm of Wednesday afternoon last week his barn and stables were Struck by lightning and burned to the ground along with some young pigs and a lot of machinery. His horses were in the stable but he succeeded in gettimr them out. There was $600 insura ce but. withal Mr. Osborn’s loss will be heavy. On the 24th of May this Band fili- ed an engagement with Court New- ash I. O. F. Owen Sound, receiving there the full amount asked for their services. Last week the Secretary of the Band received from Court Newash the sum of $10 as a token of the high appreciation of the Court of the services rendered by the Band on that occasion. This volun- tary and tangible expression of ap- preciation is justly and highly pro- vided by Band Master Tucker and his men. its descent. Bert received some slight bruises, the shafts of the rig were broken, but the horse was un- injured. The escape of the boys was miraculous. This accident was due to the wilful conduct of the engine driver in Opening the steam escape valve after being warned of the timidity of the animal. Ac Eugenia on the evening of the Twelfth the 1-1 year old daughter of Mr. James Fisher, 4th Line. was thrown backwards to the ground, with the hind seat of a democrat in which she was sitting and sustained a severe concussion shock and in- juries to the head from which she was unconscious for some time. Dr. Carter was summoned and under his treatment >he is now recovering. Two other girls who were also in the same seat escaped serious injury.
