eter, being present, were invited to sit

urer'sbook was audited and certified
as found correct. Messrs. Shaw and
Martin were appointed to address the
annual meeting of the Woman's Pres
byterial Society of horeigt. Missions, in
January. The Finance Committee
submitted the estimate of expenditure
for the ensuing year showing that a
rate of ten cents per family would be
required to meet all expenses of the
Presbytery, The Commitiae was au-
thorized to raise the amount in the
usual way. The Assembly's remit in
re graduatingstudents,,and ministers'
received from other churches, requiring

ting the Committee on augmentation,
was present and heard, setting forth
the claims of said fund on all our con-
gregations, and the amount expected

ter referred to the Horne Mission Com

ence on Sabbath Schools be held on

commendation Was adopted. Docu
ments were read showing the amounts

$700 for this year. It is hoped that
this sum stated be realized. The at-
tention of the congregations of Lee
burn and Union Church was called at

mentation, to•the necessity of increas
ing the stipend of their pastor by $50,
in order that the Assembly's fund may

One day last weele a If tale son of Jas
McCallum fell from the high beam in
the barn, a distance of 18 feet, but es-
caped with slight injury, As it never
rains but it pours; Jas. ticCa1lum sr.,
while chopping on Mouday, had the
misfortune to cut two of his toes almost
off and another about half off, there is
only a little piece of skin of the sole
holding the two toes on; he had the
misfortune some years ago to cut the
great toe of the same foot. We hear

-On Monday night last au exceeding-
ly sad affair happened in this township
resulting in the death of a most highly
esteemed and amiabte young lady, Miss
Jessie Mutch, youngest daughter of
Mr, Robt. Mutch, aged 23 years. Mr.
and Mrs. Mutch were away from' home
at the time, on a visit to another
daughter, and at about eleven o'clock
at night a messenger arrived and told
them that their daughter was dying in.
convulsions, They hastened home,
only to find the statement was too
true, The unusnat circumstances of
het death led to an inquest being held
on Wednesday, when the pre•.ence of
strychnine was found in her system,
and the jury returned a verdict' that
she died from puisoa, administered by
someone unknown. The family are
very highly respected and the heart-
felt sympathy of the.erx.tire, community
goes out to them in this hour of sorrow
and trial.
A Sad Case.
One of the saddest events ever chron-
icled in this county culminated in the
family of Mr.. Robtert Mutch, a well-
known and highly respected farmer
living in East Wawanosh, on Monday
night last week. Dis daughter Jessie,
a young woman of 22 years, was the
victim, and the history of the case
shows it to be the old and cruel story
of seduetion under promise of marriage
then abandonment by the betrayer, and
the death of the poor girl, probably by
her own hand, to avoid the shame she
could not face.
On Monday evening Mr. and Mrs.
Mutch were absent from home, and
their daughter Jessie, after spending
the evening with her brothers, William
and Fred, retired, apparently in the
best of spirits; but aoout midnight her
screams alarmed the household and
she was found in the throes of death
from the effects of a dose of strychnine.
Dr. McLaughlin, of Blanchester, was
summoned, but could do nothing.
A coroner's inquest was held on
Wednesday by Dr, Milne, of Blyth, un-
der the direction of Mr. Lewis, who act-
ed on behalf of the crown attorney, Drs.
McLaughlin and Ferguson performing
the post mortem examination. The
deceased had been keeping company
with a young man named John Fenton
a miller, and from her correspondence
and a diary slie had kept, it was found
that, haying aecomplished her ruin, he
had grown tired of her and refused to
marry her. Fenton was called as a
witness, and at first seemed disposed
to deny everything, but under skilful
cross questioning he finally admitted
the whole story; also that the deceased
had told him she would commit sui-
cide if he did not marry her, and that
he had one time taken a package of
strychnine from het and burned it.
The mother of deceased had only re-
cently suspeeted that anything was
wrong with the girl, and had deter-
mined on learning the facts and en-
deavoring to seeure an honorable set-
tlement by the young man, but before
her intentions could be carried out the
hand of death had fallen, The jury*
returned an open verdict that deceased
fright ]tcalmed by the persons present, came to her death by poison admirals.

the ears badly- wrecked The fireman
and engiucer jumped before the engine
left the track, and tbus escaped serious
injury, although the fireman's arm
was so badly hurt that surgical aid was
required, and Dr. Ovens dressed the
wound. 'Traffic was delayed for sever-
al hours until the track was Blared.
The engine was left where it fell until '
Sunday, when a crew of men raised it.
Wno is to blame for the accident is not
known, but it was evidently due to a.
misunderstanding between the engin-
eer and the operator in charge at the
station. The former claims that he
did not whistle for the siding and the
latter thinks he did, and put the train.
on the siding, leaving the main tract:
clear for the express, which he expect-
ed shortly, from the east. The speed
of the train was too great to allow
the engineer to stop before the and
of the siding was reached, although he
reversed the steam and locked the en-
gine.
