a young son of Mr John Morlock, of
the 7th concession, Usborne, miracul-
ously escaped being killed. The young
lad was playing along the roadside
where a number of men were drawing
earth. He had a dog attached to a
rope and the anneal daited under a
wagon, dragging the little fellow un-
derneath it. The driver was on the
ether side and did not notice the
danger the lad was in, and in. an in-

dog. The little chap was carried home
and his injerien. attended to, which

• fact that the wagon passed over the
dog at the same time, poseibly saved
the child from having his head crushed

The local Collegiate Insbitute 'foot -

Hough Cup, aeamst the efforts of the
Seaforth team on Saturday. The
' score was 3 to 0, and the .play was even
more one-sided than the score would
enclicate, for the home forward line
had considerable hard* luck in their
shooting, the hall striking' the goal
posts and tnissing by inches au Several
occasions. The star of ,the.Searcirth
team was theirgoal-keeper, Who played
a magnificent game, but lie could not
