Johns, of town, on Saturday afternoon last when he was thrown from the mower while cutting hay in a field near the Ex­ eter school. One of the wheels of the mower dropped into a .hollow and Mr. Johns was jolted from the seat. A wheel passed over his body and calling to the team the horses stopped with the knives resting on him, Being unable to extricate himself he was held in that position for over two hours and every move­ ment of the horses in eating grass moved the machine and added to the suffering of the unfortunate man beneath. Mr. Fred Cornish observed the team standing in the field and thinking Mr. Johns had left them there he did not go to investigate until it dawned on him that there might be something wrong. Mr. Johns was taken to the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Roy Weber, and Dr. Dunlop was called. Mr. Johns had five ribs broken from the vertebrae and was otherwise bruised the body. ab'hut PRESENTATION At the close of the school term, Miss Reta Rowe, ,wbo has resigned her position on the staff of the Pub­ lic School, was presented with a fine bracelet by the scholars and also a beautiful picture by the members of the staff.
