Total amount of money orders paid out, $8,494,40. Narrow Escape Mr. James Hackett, of Ashfield, was knocked down on the crossing near Cain's Hotel, on Tuesday last, by a farmer's team that was driven rapidly around the corner of the street. It is unlawful, as well as a dangerous practice, to drive at such a, rate in the village, and Mr. Hackett had a very close call from serious if not fatal accident. Though pretty badly shaken up, his injuries were only slight. Annual Meeting The annual meeting for the election of officers and directors of the Luck - now Mechanies' Institute for next year will be held in the Reading Room on the evening of Monday, the fourth day of May at half past seven o'clock.

It should not alone be,,,sonfined to planting trees in the school grounds, Fut our citizens should also turn out and plant maples 'along the various streets of the village. There is nothing that will add more to the beauty and appearance .of the place than shade trees, and hundreds should be „planted in the village this spring. Gone to Detroit We take the following compliment- ary reference to our former townsman, Mr. Beverley Murray, from the Glencoe Transcript : "Mr. B. F. Murray, who has ably filled the posi- tion of accountant in the Traders' Bank here for the past six months, has resigned that office and will leave to -day ' to take a more lucrative position in Detroit. We regret that Glencoe is to lose Mr. Murray, who, both in the bank and in social 'circles, made Many warm friends. His obliging disposition qualifies him to fill a -prbminent position where the public are to be served and we are sure our American cousins will find in him a good citizen. Foresters Pharity-Ooncert The Foresters of Lucknow and sur- rounding -courts are making 'extensive preparations towards having a grand demonstration on Thursday evening, April 30th.

Attempted Suicide . • On Wednesday morning Donald Mckinnon, who has been incarcerated in jail for some months •past awaiting trial, charged with the murder of his wife, made another attempt to commit suicide. This time his implement was a small piece of wire, vi•Thich he succeeded in forcing about an inch into his body about two inches below the heart. His effort at ,self-destrue tion was diseexered_h • jailer Dickson and theWite takeriaway. McKinnon does not appear to have experienced any ill effects from the-operation.7- Groderick Sinai At the assizes last week Mcllinnen was let off on the charge of murdering his .wife, but was sentenced to four months in jail for attempting tolake his own life.

The revolver'' was an Old one, and it is thought the bullet that entered the young man's side must have come from the breech, instead of s the muzzle, as there were three chain - ro e rig e s ruc on • e si• e o his foot, rupturing several of the liga- ments of the foot and instep, He was carried to Dr. Tennant's office where the injured foot was carefully bandaged but it will be some time before he will be able to walk without the use of a crutch. Masonic Grand Lodge The grand master of the Grand Lodge A. F. and A. M. of Canada, M. W. Bro. ' J. Ross Robertson, has decided, in consequence of limited accommodation in Toronto during the third week in July, caused ' by the international convention of school teachers, to call the annual communi- cation of the Grand Lodge in Toronto for the fourth week of the month. A. formal meeting will be held in Toronto on Wednesday, July 15, when an adjournment will be made until the following Wednesday, July 22. On Suspended Sentence Mr. Frederick Robertson, who was some weeks ago taken to Goderich jail on the charge of forgery, was last. week liberated by Judge Falconbridge on supended sentence. • A large petition, *signed by all the leading _eitizens-L-of-thiS Robertson's previous good character, was presented to the court, and this, together with the circuinstances which led to the committal of the crime, caused His Lordship to deal very leniently with the matter. , • Juvenile Thieves There are three or four boys in this village that are fast fitting themselves for a term in the Reformatory. They 'steal everything they can lay their hands on, and there is scarcely a hen roost in the village that has escaped their raids. On Monday evening a couple of them entered Mr. A. Mc- Grory's stable and with the aid of a • lighted match were busily engaged selecting choice - birds, when his son appeared upon the scene and captured the young rascals. This is not the first time they have been caught stealing and we believe their case has been given to the constable who will no doubt bring them to justide. No Summer Camps The Militia Gazette is of opinion that owing to the lateness of the coming session of Parliament and the non-liklihood of' the passage of the appropriations in time, the usual,, Summer camps will not be held tilt; September, "though, no doubt, means might be devised for forestalling the action of Parliament, should it be deemed imperative to assemble the camps at the usual season. In view, however, of the agitation of annual drill of the whole force, and of the disposition of the Militia Department to secure this as SOOn as possible, the militia might, reap Considerable benefit from awaiting parliamentary action before arrangements for the year are made." Oddfellows A ri nivers.ary The members of Lucknow Lodge of Oddfellows to the number of forty drove to the tillage of St. Helens on Sunday morning last to attend church in honor of .he anniversary of the Order. A little before eleven o'clock the brethren, together with four visit- ing Oddfellows from Wingham Tlodge, assembled ,at the Temperance Hall and marched in a body to the Pres- byterian churcli, where the Rev. Mr. Anderson deliyered to them an exceedingly able and practical sermon. Besides • the Oddfellows there was a large congregation present, all of whom were much pleased with the' rev. gentleman's discourse. At the close of the services the brethren reformed in line and marched 'back to the hall, and shortlyafterwards left 0 lidttfa. • A. heantiftif evergreen arch, on the centre of which were the three links, was eroded across the sidewalk leading to the chnrcli. --I can lead in women's button and Balmorals in style and prices, and some choice lines in opera kid Slippers and Oxford ties.—J. Peart. reports. The wound is not deep, and the young man will not be off work only a few days. The ball struck the buckle of his suspender, which broke its &tee, and thus the young man's life was'saved, no doubt. Mr. Peter Miller's hand was also injured, the ball having grazed one of his fingers. Have Progressed- ' The 'Indian population of Ontario, as it appears in the annual report of the Department of Indian Affairs, is 17,77e, and of this number only 404 called for gratuitous aid. The Miss- issaguas of Alnwick are spoken of as having made material progress during the year. - They still number 236 souls there being 'eight deaths and eight births among them in the twelve months since the last report of the Department.
