Last Friday a letter came from the assistant superintendent of the Metro- pulltull Insurance (Jo. stating that he was wry sick of typhoid and that he had lu-rn removed to the hospital at Fain-moot, \Vest Virginia. The letter was so worded that we have grave fears regarding his condition. It is ju~t a year the 2lst of this month since \w lust uur daughter Maud, and the additional trouble of a boy in serious danger is not at all comforting. We hope for better reports soon, but we cannot now tell what the result will be.

This week we paid a short visit to the home of Mr. John Will-' iams, who is now manufacturing brick on a small scale in home made wooden moulds. The cement and course sand. are thoroughly mixed in certain pro- portions by measure and after being pounded into moulds and allowed to set they are taken out and allowed to dry. Like the cement blocks so much used in this town they harden and im- proved with age, and we are informed that they can be made to sell cheaper than ordinary clay bricks. A com- pany is now formed to manufacture all kinds of cement products in this ‘town and by next summer we may expect to see expensive and modern machin- ery installed where bricks will be made without straw or heat. The bricks will evidently be hard and the smooth- ness and accuracy of shape will depend upon the machines and the carefulness pf the manufacturers. The company we are told will get a charter empow- ering them to engage in the manufac- ture of all kinds of cement goods and as they have an. optun ‘ of valuable sand beds and can get their cement at the works here we expect to see the Mr. Thos, Livingston is attending the Ottawa Fair this week, talking up the merits of Oxford Cream Separa- tors.

A LITTLE four or five year old boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Turner, had a misfortune Monday w hich leaves his mother in much anxiety. A horse and wagon were standing on the street the driver being occupied in conversa- tion when the little chap mounted the wheel and was standing on the hub unnoticed. Mr. Robert Ryan, who drove the team, started on and the lad fell to the ground and had his hand severely crushed under the wheel. He is thought to have received intern- al injuries also having struck the hub in his fall. Mr. Turner is in Manitoba at present and knows nothing about the accident, it being thought better not to inform him just yet. ON Monday evening a pleasing ad- dress by Mrs. De Touffe Lauder was; given in the Presbyterian church on the Catacombs of Rome and the story of the early Christian Martyrs. Mrs. Lauder has travelled extensively and for a considerable time lived in Rome, and thus gave her narrative a local col. oring. Her account of the long wind- ing alleys with their shelves for the dead cut out of the soft 'l‘ufa rock as a shelter for the living and a last rest- ing place for the departed, and all the marks and symbols telling of the hepes that cheered the early Christians was very graphic. The traditional scenes of the martyrdom of the Apostle Paul and Peter were held up to view in a way never to be forgotten, and many will see in Saint Cecilia a new and venerated ideal from this account given of her life and heroism. Alto- gether the address was a success and Mrs. Lauder is to be congratulated on being able to hold the large audience for over an hour without a sign of wearying. Mas. BAKER, widow of the late Mark Baker, died at her home in Waudby, Sept. 8th, in the Slst year of her age. Funeral services were con- ducted by Rev. C. E.
