The child had been playing on the floor, when it sliddenly began to choke Two physicians were summoned but didnot arrive until after the little one’slil'e had flickered out. On ex- amination it was found that a screw nail which the child had picked up 03 the floor had lodged in the windpipe, the broad head closing over it like a cap and completely shutting ed the supply of air. The. little one was buried in the Greenwood cemetery yesterday afternoon.-â€"-Owen Sound Times.

The agitation for the incorporation of Chatsworth as a village has this week experienced a decided revival. and the result is that the petition circulated has been all but .unani- mously signed by the ratepayers of the village, and many who have here- tofore witheld their signature and support from the plan are now giving their aid to obtain the desired end. With such a petition. which will at once he presented to the Government. it is confidently hOped that an act may be passed to raise Chatsworth to the status of a village and thus give to local governing council the pOWfir to administer the affairs in a manner that will prove to the best advantage of the village.â€"â€"-Chatsworth Brnner Ruby the third daughter of Mr Alex. Hill, had a narrow escape from drowning last week. While skating {on the river west of the town dock 'she suddenly dropped into an air hole. The little girl fortunately had the presence of mind to throw out her arms and cling to the ice, thuie enabling her to keep her head and shoulders above the water. Mr Wm Carson. who happened to be skating on the bay at the time, saw the little girl strugglingin the water and hastened to her aesistance. By crawling on his hands and knees on the ice he managed to pull her out at considerable risk of his: own life.â€" Meaford Mirror.

This was enough; he was found guilty; and the judge decided that no punishment within his power to measure out n as too much for the man who would :arry on such practices. On this continent, the same methods are used: dividends are paid out of unearned profits; worthless shares are loaded on a confiding public; companies are grossly ove1'-capitalizea,, and the public, in order that shareholders may be paid dividends on a vast quantity of “water,” has sometimes 11) pay through the nose for the ne cussaries of life. Yet nothing is done! In England. this sort of thing is criminal; is it less a crime here? We have of course. not so much to do with what goes on in the United States. but it is surely time that the Canadian laws which have to do with the formation of companies, should be so amended as to afford more pro- tection to the public than they do now. We remember nocing the sur. prise of one of the English delegates to the recent Chambers of Commerce Congress, expressed at the way common stock is sometimes issued in this country at a merely nominal price to the bondholders, giving the rein to the gambling element in its worst form. There are. however. several directions in "rhich our joint- stcck companies might be improved with advantage.

Nominally, a crime is that which is contrary to and forbidden by the law. Moreover, at this stage of the world’s civilization. it may generally be taken for granted that what is looked upon as a crime in one country is. or shuuld be, considered a crime in other countries. Now in this case, the methods of financing companies, which Whitaker Wright adopted in England, are there deemed distinctly fraudulent. and punishable by the law, while on the other hand, they may be indulged in this country and in the United States with impunity Which, then of the two alternatives does this moro likely implyâ€"that such methods are not really fraudu- lent, or that the law here is itself faulty in not touching them? InEngluud, Wright. the bold fin- ancier. came to be looked upon as. a little better than buccaneer, and, as such, the law speedily came into play. That a man is convicted of fraud and dies in disgrace by his own hand is no reason why his own version of his career should not be listened to with respect, even by those who hate never been arraigned in a law court. “7hitaker Wright, at the time of his capture in New York. said. or is reported to have said: "There is no difierence between what I did in England and what your in. dustrial companies are doing in America.” Now Wright may have fully believed what he said, but this does not exculpate him from the guilt for which his tragic death was such a sorry atonement. because the deeds for which punishment was meted out to him were committed not in America. but in England, where he must have known they were criminal acts.
