About four o'clock Friday morning
two 'freight trains collided a short dis-
tance east of the station on the Air
Line, Aylmer, completely destroying
theengitte and several cars on the east-
bound, while the west bound, which
had come to a standstill, had ita engine
damaged considerably, It Seems both
trains had orders to pass here. The
east bound arrived first, ancl pulled
through regardless of orders. The
operator in ohargo of the station on
seeing the train go through put up the
east semaphore to stop it, but the en-
gineer seemed to pay 116 attention, and
soon struck the west -bound, whieh had
stopped Ctli seeing the semaphore. Tho

This is the breeding season of the
fatal cholera, the germs of which are
being sown in these hot, dry, dusty

Fresh, jnicy, clean food; cool, clean
beds; shade and pure, clean water will
greatly help to keep them in good
health and hasten fattening in the cool
weather by and by.
' A remarkable incident 'is reported
from Arthur Township. Mr. McGilli-

) of somewhat pugnacious disposition)
and there is also in his herd another
bovine who rejoices in the possession Of
a pair of horns of large and graceful
proportions, which curve upWarels mad
inwards until their points come within
about six inches of each other. While
being driven home these animals ene;ar
ed in sundry acufiles and trials of
strength; and at last the hornless one
charged recklessly -upon' the other.
They came together fiercely, and the
head of the niulley when they met slip-
ped upwards between the horns of her
rival untii the points of the latter'a
horns were firmly fastened behind her
jaws. It is hard to say which cow
area in the wot•st position now, and all
efforts to Separate them for a long time
proved futile. It was at first imagined
that the only way to separate them
would be to knock the horns off. Final-
ly, however, a half-dozen men effeeted
their separation after some hard work.
