London Aug, 8th.—Word reached ! the city yesterday, of the death ` by a gun shot wound of Abram Patrick, of Lambeth, a native of the township of of Westminster and one of its oldest settlers, The body was found by one of the family in the barn belonging to deceased at an early hour, and it is surmised that the old gentleman, who was over seventy years of age, while suffering from despondency or mental aberration, had arisen early in the morning, and taking his gun with him went to the barn and shot himself. The charge entered tha groin and came out at the small of the }'ack. When found Mr. Patrick was dead. He has not been the same man since the death of his wife a year ago. .As stated, he was one of the pioneers of the township, and had lived in it all his life. His father settled on lot 71 in 1810, and cut the road through the bush from Lambeth to Byron. At that time Jeremiah Schram and John Dingman were the only other settlers there. His brother 441.11. p David is a resident of South London. It is probable an inquest will be held. Drs. J. A. ROLLIN'S & T A.

At 11 p. m. deceased was wheeling salt into the storehouse and having dumped the load, by some means lost his balance and fell backwards a distance of about twelve feet to the floor beneath. In falling he dragged the jigger upon him, the wheel of which struck him on the head causing concussion of the brain, resulting in instant death, The deceased was an old army veteran, having served for over five years in the 4th and 24th, and the Royal Cana dian Rifles. He was a sergeant in the storming of Delhi. He was of quiet, unassuming habits and was respected by all who knew; him. Greenway. - Rev. J. H.

They will return home via Clinton and Exeter. Miss Cunningham is very skilful in manipulating bees and gave Mr. W. J. Stinson, who is in the bee business, considerable instruction.— Miss S.

The fine weather during the past week has been just what the farmers were wanting in order to get their har- vest cut A great many of them around here are all through with the exception of the late peas. Harvest in those days is somewhat differeut than it was thirty years ago, Indeed but few of us would know how the work was really done to those days.—Mrs. Wurtz and Mrs. Birk are at the Bend camping for a short time.—People are sometimes sorely tried and such was the experience of one of our citizens the other day when in broad day light two of the viler sort entered the or- chard and walked away with an apple each. The Professor seemed to take this very bad and no doubt would have taken gastric fits had not the stomach pump been freely used. A SAD ACCIDENT.—An exceedingly sad accident occurred on the farm of Mr. Wieberg on Saturday. While he was engaged cutting oats some of his little children strayed into the standing grain and being unnoticed by him one of them accidently came in contact with the machine knife, nearly cutting off one of the childs legs and badly lacerated the other.

Pollock, who turned them round and drove back to where the unfortunate man lay in an unconscious condition, with his head twisted under his body. Mr. Pollock straightened him out and in a short time he began to survive. He was at once taken home and medical aid sent for and oa examination it was discov- ered that his spine was injured. He is now lying in a critical condition, with both arms and legs paralyzed. It will be some time before the doctor can tell whether he will recoyer or not. Farquhar. The Rev.

Campbell, of Hibbert is at present laid up at his home with a severe cold. We hope Joe will soon be all right again.—We have heard some big talk of late of people doing big work in cutting grain. One man in partieular cut a 16 acre field of oats in eight. hours.. This is a big days' work, but Mr, John. Tucker beats it all hollow by cutting the other day an eighteen acre field in seven hours, $eat this, who can? Flim:—A serious conflagration oc- curred here on Saturday last while Mr. Wm, Towers, of Hibbert, was threshing for Mr, Walter Gardiner on the Rundle farm a spark escaped from the engine, and there being a strong fair wind it ignited the straw, and soon the barn was enveloped in flames and everything in the barn was des- troyed even the separator. The loss is heavy, being estimated at about $2000, The eontents was insured for 500 and the barn $800 in the Ribbert & Usborne .,o. The loss and delay to, Mr. Towers will bo considerable he having only done about four days work this season, A SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—One of the most lamentable and heart rend- ing accidents ever witnessed occurred here last Wednesday evening about 5 o'clock. It appears the nine or ten year old son of Dir. Robert Hutchinson had led a young horse out to water and while at the trough a small pole several feet in length which was used by the lady folks to signal the leen to their meals by aid of a red handker- chief, fell down, The boy of course set to work to replace the pole and in order to have use of both hands tied the rope halter around his waist, and on raising the pole the horse took fright and kicked the boy and at once started to run through the barn yard, thence up by the house and then out into an adjoining field, jumping and galloping for nearly half an hour. Mr. Hutchinson endeavored to catch the furiated animal, but in vain he could not hold it. Finally the shrieks and screams of the pain -stricken parents attracted the attention of several of the neighbors, who soon came to their assistance and after running back over the farm they got near enough to cut the rope, but it was too late life had fled.

Mitchell: For the ' past five years Mitchell High school has made a wretched showing. and this year, at the primary examivatious, it has done even. worse than ever, only three scholars, out of a total of 22, having passed. There is a screw loose somewhere, and as the ratepayers have to contribute largely towards the school's mainten- ance they ainten-ancethey will not rest satisfied until the institution is placed upon a better footing, anl the useless branches lopped off. Other places, about the size of Mitchel I, passed a much larger per. centage, and unless better w ark is done our school mast go down. The trustees should loose no time in calling a meeting and having the matter thoroughly investigated.
