' Master George Potter met with a serious accident last Wednesday night. While playing with another little boy he fell striking his head on a pail, which cut an artery in his head. He was in danger of bleeding to death but for the skilful treatment of Mr J. McDonald, who stapped the bleeding before Dr. Smith arrived. We thought the Chronicle ofl‘ice boasted a wuto paper bullet.

Riddell for the purpose of an evening’s amusement, and they got it too. For some time they amused themselves with indoor sports, then tempted by the beauty of the moonlieht and the glittering snow. they started out to sleighride. They took the cutter: to the top of the hill, near the barn, and greatly enjoyed the. ride doWn. But alas! when they ittempted to pull them up the hill ngainthey were unable to do so, and there the cutters were left in the swamp dumb reminders of the night’s sport.

We thought there was some- thing up when John began hauling wood to Durham. 0n \Vednesday, also, Miss Clara! Bill and Mr. Christian Scheuermann} were united in holy matrimony. Thei bride looked charming in a suit of cream colored cashmere trimmed with white ribbons and lace. The bride was supported by the groom’s sister. while Mr. Thos. Hill ably assisted the groom. The Rev. Mr. Graham, from Dornoch, was the offic- iating clergyman. After the nuptial knot was tied, dinner was served, then the place was cleared for danc- ing. The young couple then spent a few hours in merry dancint, and went home well satisfied and wishing the happy young couple a happy and prosperous life. We wish them the same. Mr. H.
