Laing, pulnpmaker had been killed, while repairing a pump for Mr Alex, McKenzie, in Tuekersmith. Tho hour was rather iete to attempt the job and Mr, McKenzie insisted that he wait until morning, but Mr, Laing, it appears, was anxious to finish it that evening;, so he quickly sot to work, raised the pump, and made such re- pairs as were deemed necessary. After trial, however, it was found co Werk unsatisfactory, and it was t,ipedlent to raise the pump from elf the lower length terepair the bottom valve, This Wing done, the pump was to be lower- ed by means of a rail used as a lever, and r d w hid e doieg doingso one of theplanks, a s , which had been resting upon it, was removed for the purpose, whereupon the weight, becoming too much for the boy who was on the end of the lever, threw him off, the pump dropping and taking the rail into the web with ;it striokillg Mr. Laing on the top of the forehead killing him instantly. Mr. Melienzie with the assistance of a few neighbors got him out as soon as possi- ble. Mr. Laitlg was born in Fermanah Co., Ireland. In 1846 he came to this country and settled in East Durham where he resided for some years, He then removed to Mornington Perth Co. where he spent all of his time until he settled in Varna six years ago. He car- ried on the business of pump -making and cleaning wells, and. was always a very considerate and obliging man, be ing well liked by all wilt had the pleas ure of knowing him, IHis death cast a sad gloom oyer the entire neighborhood He was never married, was a staunch Conservative in politics, and a giant physieially.

She was in a small, dark ceder under her house, and rested with nue of her arms on a lower step. Her husband, who was following her, and unnoticing her position, stepped upon the arm, breaking the bone in two. McKillop: The house of Mr. George Habkirk, came near being burglarized on Sunday morning. Mr. Habkirk, was away from home, and Mrs. Hab kirk was alone. She was awakened about one o'clock by the doe' barking, and getting• tie found the window wide open and the door open, the mats hav- ing evidently been frightened away. Seaforth: .fr. Peter O'Connell and Simon Howard, two worthy and devot- ed members of St. James' Roman' Cade elle church have purchased jointly a large bell, weighing about a ton, which they have presented to the church, The boll is worth $500 and is represent- ed as being; for clearness and richness of tone far above the average bell.

In fact it became so vile that Mayor Mos- crip who was present, ascended the stage and retnonstrated with the offend- ers in the gallery. This did not, how- ever, have the dosirea effect of quieting them for more indecent language fol- l.owed. On Tuesday, on the informa- tion of Chief of Police Mitchell, one of the offenders named Ernest Peart ap- peared before the Mayor on the cllaarre of using profane a d obscene laugua ce the previous evening, at the opera. house, and the charge being fully proven, he was tined $10 and costs or an enema tit e of 15 days in the county jail.
