approached one going south and the
other going north. The boys stepped
aside to avoid the former rig, when, in

Mr. Ford was caught between the shaft.

some fifteen rods before he could ex-
tricate himself, when he fell on his. face
upon the frozen ground receiving some
few cuts and bruises. He also received
a kick from the horse while caught iu
the buggy gear. He managed to make
his way to Dr. McDermid's office when
his wounds which fortunately were
slight, were attended to. This should
be a warning to reckless drivers, al-
though we are not sure in this ease
that the driver was to blame as he
claims that the horse became unman-
agable but we do know there is a great
deal of reckless dangerous driving done
here. The youths who are iu the habit
of driving furiously through our streets

Assistance From England Asked
For.
We doubt if ever before in the His-
tory of Canada, the United States were
compelled to ask for assistance from
Old England to fill a Canadian order
for goods. It seems increditable, but
such is the case for once, The greatest
Art House in America could not pre -
duce the "Orphan's Prayer" picture
quick enough to meet the demand of
subscriptions pouring into the Family
Herald and Weekly Star, of Montreal:.
The firm of Rowney '& Co., London,
Eng., were cabled for assistance, and
they too have bugun work day' and
night to help the Family Herald pub-
lishers out of their difficulty, Orders
are being filled as quickly as possible
regardless of expense. We see chat
every subscriber sending one chat1r for
the paper for one y ear receives the
"Orphan's Prayer" free, and it is
marvel how it can be done. No doubt
the extraordinary low price and the
extraordinary high value combined
are creating this unprecedented de-
mand.
Stephen : One of the old residents of
Stephen township passed i' way on the
18th ult. in the person of Mrs. John
Morrison, of 1.4th con. Deceased carne
from :Inverness shire, Scotland, nearly
half a century ago. The remains were
interred in the Mt, Carmel cemetery on
Friday last and the funeral was large-
ly attended, testifying to the esteem in
which the deceased was held.
Blanshard: Many will learn with
regret of the death of George Robinson,
eldest son of Mr. J. W. Robinson.
Robinson attended the St. Marys Colleg-
iate Institute for a number of years, af-
ter which he left for the Western States.
A few months ago failing health com-
pelled him to give up work and return
home. Mr. Robinson was one of the
mostrespected and promising of young
men of the town, and his death at the
age of 26 years is a matter of profound
regret. The funeral took place on Sun.
