Saved Home From Burning On Tuesday. January 17th, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Pegelo and child of the 10th Concession Sullivan went to visit friends nmr Hanover, leav- ing a tire in their dining room. In somn unaccountable way the fire was communicated to the room and the home would soon have gone up in smoke and cinders had not there, fortunately, been a congregational meeting in the Peabody United Chin-ch. the members of which promptly put out the fire when they saw smoke issuing from the house, whirh is near the church. Only the dining room was partially burn- ed. Mr. and Mrs. Pegelo feel very grateful to their neighbors for savâ€" ing their liome.-â€"vClwsley Enter- prise. Alcohol Lamp Exploded A very regrettable accident oc- curred last week to Dr. A. M. Camimell in his dental office in the Perkins block. After having extin- guished the flame in his alcohol lamp for the purpose of refilling it, while doing so it exploded, it being thought there. must have. still been enough heat in it to kindle the flame. His right hand and arm were so badly burned that the doc- tors expect as a result. that it will be necessary to amputate the two fingers at the second joint. He was taken to the hospital at Owen Sound and later went to Toronto General Hospital for the best atilx'ice from specialists. in the hope or saving his lingers. General sym- pathy is extended to Dr. Campbell in this. one of the worst misfor- tunes whieh could happen to a den- tist. the loss of the use of his right handâ€"\Viarton Echo.

Roy Heath and Daniel Rouse, two lads from Wiarton, whose ages are, 14 and 15 years respectively, decid- ed on Monday morning that they would like to see a little bit of the world rather than the vicinity of Wiarton, and they started out on a hike for other parts. They arrived in Owen Sound without mishap, but fortunately for them, they did not get any farther. Their parents got word of their departure, which was without ceremony. and they were not long in communicating with the police in Owen Sound, and the re- sult was that the boys were quickly picked up. They had little to say as to their intentions, although one of them intimated he was going to Markd-ale where he had some rela- tives, and it is said the other lad wanted to get to the 800. However, their plans were rudely shattered, and they were placed on board the evening train for Wiarton in charge of the conductor. and taken back to their homes probably sadder but \VISQL‘.
