A Natural Thought. A very small boy was recently preeent at a balloon ascension. As the gigantic bird- like machine sailed up into the clouds with its human freight, the small spectator pulled bie mother's dream excitedly and exclaimed: " What will the good God say when he seer" that necoMing 'ration.

Semen, June 13.—A passenger by the - name of Michael Dunn jumped off train No. 41 while coming into Sarnia station the other evening and fell under the train and had one foot taken off. A young -man by the name of Patterson heard his cries for help and went to the place and found him sitting holding Ids leg. He said to Patterson that he wee bleeding to death. Mr. Patter - eon ran up to the station and found Night Agent Chase and told him what hadhappena ad, and he got some rope and told him to - take it and tie it around his leg while he (Mr. Chase) ran for Dr, Ponsette.
