Ford, of near here, met with an accident on Sunday evening and which might have' result- ed more seriously. It appears that he along with four others were standing at the cross roads of Main street and London road Avenue when two rigs approached one going south and the other going north. The boys stepped aside to avoid the former rig, when, in an instant the latter was upon them. Mr. Ford was caught between the shaft. and the wheel of the zig and carried 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 and shouting at the top of their voices do not seem to realize that • they are breaking the laws of the land and are liable to be arrested at sight, and punished. -Rev.

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. day.
