Through Canada the eclipse will be partial, not annular. The path of the annular phrase will be accross Cuba and Mexico. The eclipse will begin at 6-42 in the forenoon, and will end at 10.56. Parents should call the atten- tion of their children to this phenom enonnfor though it is not so important as a total eclipse, it is none the less in- teresting and instructive on that ac- count. It may be safely observed through a bit of glass smoked by burn - bag a match under it at such a way as to give a varying depth of density over the glass so as to protect the eye as oc- casion requires.

Stables Burned. The cow stables of Mr. John Haw- kins, of the London Road, North, were struck by lightning on Monday last and completely destroyed•together with over fifteen tons of hay. The fire had not gained much headway before a large number of neighbors had assem- bled and like trojans set to work to fight the flames and save the adjacent buildings. This they succeeded in do- ing although it was a difficult matter, the barn being only about six feet and horse stables about ten feet from the burning building.. Mr. John Case, who stood on the roof of the barn in his bare feet throwing water on the flames had one foot badly burned which will un- able him to do anything for several days. The loss to Mr. Hawkins is about 8500, with no insurance. Clinton: D. Lawrence had his thumb torn off Tuesday, in a saw at the Do- herty Organ factory. St. Marys: While J.

Wing -ham: Andrew Murray, black- smith, met with a painful accident on Thursday. He was heating a piece of iron for welding, when, it getting too hot on one side, he put to sand to cool it. On taking the iron out of the fire the hot sand flew about in all directions two particles going into his left eye, causing great pain and nearly blind- ing him, besides burning. a number of Susan holes in his shirt. Parkhill: Mr. Wm. Wilson was somewhat seriously injured last Friday when at work in H. C. Baird & Son's foundry. Whilst raisinga weight with the crane he was struck by the iron handle on the forehead and badly cut. The wound was stitched and he is gett- ing along nicely. Had the blow been a few inches higher ou his head he would likely have been killed. Fullerton: Wm. Urquhart, aged 27 years and 3 months, died at the home of his parents on the 15th inst. Wil Liam was well known in town, having worked in the Lemon Bros. barber shop three years ago. Shortly after leaving there his arm began to bother him, dud in order to save his life it had to be amputated, but was not taken off high enough up and the doctor told him that he would not live long, that as the disease reached the brain, his life would come to an end. Deceased was a young man well liked by everybody and the family have the sympaty of the whole community. Mitchell: Alex. Mulheron, died on Sunday evening, July 18th, at the age of 69 years. He had been feeling poor- ly for a long time, but was able to be up and around everyday.

It proved to be hemorrhage of the lungs, and he died in a very few moments af- ter he started kleeding. Deceased was one of Mitchell's early settlers, having started business here some forty years ago, first in the furniture business, then for a great many years he carriedon a foundry business.
