THE sad gunning accidents we hear of every day. should, it seems to us, be a warning to boys, to be extreme- ly careful in the handling of such dangerous weapons. We do not pro- fess to be cowardly, but we always feel that there’s danger in the pres- ence of a gun. Even these little air guns used around the streets, are a public menace, and the authorities should restrict their use before some person is injured for life by careless handflng. Tm; following act was passed at the last session of the Dominion Parliament and is now part of the criminal law: Everyone is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to three yearsimprisonment who, with- out the consent of the owne", takes holds. keeps in his possession, con- coals. receives. appropriates. purch- ases, StfiiS or fraudently causes br procures or assists in taking posses- lell of. concealing, appropriating or purchasing of any cattle that are} found eStray. or refuses to deliver up any such cattle to the proper owner thereof. or to the person in charge 7 thereof on behalf of such owners or authorizedby such owners to receive such cattle, or without the consent of the owner wholly or partially, Uhiifel‘aies or alters or defaces any brand or. mark on any cattle. or makes or causes to be made any false or counterfeit brand on any cattle. Wn regret very much to chronicle the sad circumstances which led to the death of l‘homas Stinson. of Wel- beck, on Friday afternoon lest. On the day in question the young lad, sixteen ymrs cf age, in company with two neighboring boys was out. shoot- v 'vv wvâ€"n ing for the afternoon and on return- ing the accident happened in a very peculiar manner. About a mile from home the three young Sportsmen were going through an orchard, the deceased carying his gun at half cock. Taking the weapon by the muzzle he undertook to knock down some ap- ples- with the butt end when the hammer caught in one of the limbs, struck the nipple and discharged the whole load of bird shot into the young mun-'3 abdomen. Dr. Smith. of Dornoch. and Dr. Malian, ot Dur- ham, were summoned and on hand as soon as possible. but the swful con. dition of the dying suflerer showed his case from the first to be utterly hopeless, and in about twelve hours he bresthed his last.

The foundations of the large rotary mill are being rapidly and strongly put into posi- tion. The railroad is nearing com- pletion, and the heavy machinery is expected soon. ACOUI’LE of weeks ago an " Apol- ogy” appeared in this paper signed “ Thos. Stinson,” and naturally many in the vicinity imagined it to be “'I‘hos. Slinson.” formerly of Ben- tinck, near Durham. This, however, is not the case, the apologist being Iv -va r--- -â€" an entirely diflerent man of the same name. REV. MR. Ross, of Walkerton, preached two very acceptable ser- mons in the Methodist church on Sunday. The evening discourse on “unconscious influences ” based on the text ‘9 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to him- self.” Romans 14-7 was exceedingly pramical. THE Latona entertainment in con- nection with their pie social and presentation Friday night last, was all contributed by Durham talent, J. A. Hunter, E. D. McClocklin, W. S. Davidson and Fred Ryan being the chief performers, if we omit saying anything about the girls who drove up there alone to show they weren’t going to back numbers. ’l‘ms, Thursday night. is Hallowe’en and it is highly probable the fairies will be out. A wrong idea seems to have taken possession of the minds of many, and they think themselves irresponsible for any depredations they may commit, The law makes no allowance in the matter. and we hope our readers will think seriously before they injure anyone.

MoKrsxox was tried here on Saturday last before Mayor Calder and Magistrate Queen for non-com- pliance with the fire by-law in the removal of his implement shop down town, and leaving it unbricked or made otherwise less liable to damage by fire. Mr. Telford acted in behalf of the town. and Mr. Lucas. of Mark- dale, for Mr. McKinnon. Mr. Lucas gave it as his opinion that the by-law conflicted with the statutes in some respects. and that the confliction nullified the whole thing. The gen. eral opinion is that Mr. Lucas was right in his interpretation of the law. and that the by-lawas it stands at present is of no v‘alue. Decision was reserved.

The weather man must be friendly with these people because he gave them the best of everything he had, a big bright full moon, good roads, and a delightful balmy atmosphere. A lot of the people turned out to show‘ their appreciation of Sunday Schools and to listen to the fine pmgram the committee had provided. Dr. Brown, of Holstein, was there and gave a few capital high class vocal selec- tions. The Bradley family took part also and delighted the audience with some of their choruses. Miss Jessie Laidlaw, of Durham, Sang one of her sweet seloctions. and Miss Maude Irwin favored them with a recita- tion. Further particulars have not reached us, and any omissions we hope will be made good by some of our reporters next week. WE are sorry to chronicle the sad? and untimely end of one of St. Vin- cent’s best known citizens in the person of Mr. Wm. Doherty, of the- 15 16 sideroads. On Tuesday even- ing last Mr. and Mrs. Dohcrty were in town tOgether, and after‘returning home went as usual to do their even~ ing chores. Mrs. Doherty had finished milking and left her husband in the stable grooming his horses. As he did not soon return to the house, Mrs. Doherty went out to see what had detained him. when she was shocked to find her husband ly- ing behind the horse dead. He had been kicked in the head by one of his horses, one of the caulks of the shoe having penetratedright temple and the other behind the ear. He had evidently been killed instantly as he held the curry comb and brush in his hands. Mr. \V. Birchill, his. next door neighbor. was one of the first to arrive, and with the assistance of Mr. Gibson, the blacksmith, who was ‘passing at. the time of the accident, they carried him into the house. It is needless to say it was a sight to melt the heart of any man to SO( the home so suddenly deprived of its chief support, with a family of little ones to be provided for The poor wife. as might be expected, is about heart broken, and needs all the synt- pathy that kind and benevolent friend can bestow.

When one wants a picture of the King and Queen to frame and hang up in his house, he is going to have the best portraits obtainable, and when he knows that the best is to he had as cheap, and in some cases cheaper. than an inferior one, he would feel that he had better have no portrait. at all than be persuaded into taking the inferior article. instead of the best. which is really the only one. worth having. This is the position of afiairs regarding the portraits of King Edward and Queen Alexandra. presented this season to readers of the’Family‘Herald and Weekly Star. No one who sees them will doubt for a minute their superiority. They are valuable because faithful in every detail. and our advice to our readers; {is to get the Family Herald's picture; of the King and Queen. The Family Herald also' includes a third picture, the “renowned Duchess of Devonehire. a perfect gem. and easily worth the entire price asked for the Family Herald and Weekly Star. the King and Queen and the famous ,Gains- borough picture.
