sundry treating going ou. Following
one of the youths to the railway
station to catch the east train, we
found the poor fellow stretched out, so
besotted that the efforts of a passenger
and the stationmaster could not
arouse him' in time to take the train
for Lucknow. This is fearful refresh-
ment to dispense to a travelling
public. Temperance people state
that "the Dominion officials have
neither power or funds to enforce the

put officials in power that will find
such. 1s the Act a "lie" to the Prov-

Alex. Stewart, proprietor of the
hotel here, met with a terrible acci-
dent on Wedaesday, which, itis feared,
may be attended with fatal results.
It appears that Mn Stewart had pur-
chased a cow, a rather wild animal,.
and had just placed it in the stable.
The animal was almost frantic with
excitement, and when Mr. Stewart
was attempting to pacify it, it knocked
him (Iowa with a toss of its head. It
thea gored,him in the back, and about
the legs and groin in a terrible man-
ner, lacerating the unfortunate man
tire ribly. It also trampled upon his
chest and body. He was removed to
the,house and Dr. IticKenzie was
called in. Dr. Bethune, of Wingham,
was also sent for, and the two did all
in their power to relieve the poor
plan's sufferings. It is feared that he
has received internal injuries which
will prove fatal. At this writing
(Thursday) Mr. Stewart is very low.

will make it successful. The members
gave their first entertainment on Mon-
day evening, 9th inst., and although
the weather was very unfavorable, the
hall was filled with an appreciative
audience. The president opened tue
Meeting with a very humorous and
instructive address. Messrs. Coates

Messrs. Bone, Clark and Cornyn reci-
tations, which were well received.
Mr. Ross sang a solo in his usual good
style. 0. McClelland being called on
responded by singing "The Midship-

hearty applause of the audience. The
