A Human Skeleton Collingwood, Ont., July 26—A re- markable and perhaps important dis- covery, historically, was made this morning in the caves of the Blue Mountain, near Collingwood. A near- ly perfect human male skeleton was discovered beneath a projecting lodge of limestone rock, about 40 feet below the level of the mountain top. Access to the place is gained only through h a narrow and precipitous fissure in the rocks, scarcely wider than a man's body. From all appearenc^, the man had fallen down the rocks, been badly wounded, and had crawled under the protecting ledge to die alone. The bones were quite badly weathered, but nevertheless, fairly complete as far as examined, and probably belouged to a man six feet in height. No other remains than those have yet been found, but perhaps the body is one of the Indians of the Tobacco Nation which formerly inhabited these mount- ains. Accident at a Barn -raising. While a barn raising was in progress on the farm of Andrew Hoffmeyer, 2nd concession, Downie, Tuesday afternoon, an indiscreet order bysome one in authority resulted in James Watson, a young man in the employ of Thos. Beattie, Huron road, getting badly broken up. The men were putting up what is known in a modern barn build- ing as a bridge bent. To this bent two guy ropes were attached and young Watson was told to go up and remove the ropes. He followed instruetions and had unfastened one of the ropes when the ben. t began to sway too and fro and the crowd yelled to Watson to jump. The distance was about twenty feet from the ground and the young. man started sliding down a rope, but when he got nearer terra firma made a jump. Unfortunately:his feet were tangled in the rope add he fell, with the result that his right arm was brok- en just below the elbow and dislocated at the wrist. His left arm was also badly sprained: and the man's face was cut some. He was in fact shaken up not thought an generally,thought ish r>; y interual injury was sustained. The Western Fair, London, is again to the front and is providing further accommodation and improvements to their already excellent Stock buildings necessiated by the increase of entries last year in these departments. Tho Directors of this' time honored Show have had sufficient experience to know the- proper course to pursue to mai - tain the proud position the Western now enjoys as The Live Stock and Ag- ricultural Fair of Canada, Twenty- nine years have passed away since the Western Fair was established. Each and every year since has been marked by advancement in all the departments This annual improvement is largely due to the thoughtfulness and care of the management, and the fact that the agricultural interests are given first place. Over thirty-four thousand dal lars was expended in exhibition build- ings last year, and others being found necessary are in course of construction for the coming Fair. Laotian's Fair buildings are worth a visit to the city to see. Exhibitors of first-class stock, machinery or produce of any kind, looking for purchasers cannot go to a better place than the Western Fair to get what they,?waat--ready salt=s at good prices, The Prize Lists are ready for distribution and a simple applica- tion to the secretary, Mr. Thomas A, Browne, will secure a copy. It is well just here to say the cloiing date for making entries is September 9. C't'hile the Association gives particular at. tention to the exhibitors and their ex- hibits, they at the same time are aware of the necessity of having some first class special features to edify and amuse their visitors during the after- noons and evenings. @e Hasson Beit Ali, the Arab prince, has been engaged not only to bring with him his wonder- ful troupe of Arabs, but secure the best talent in America along other lines, His knowledge of the business and his acquaintance with best artists and his own unsullied reputation is sufficient guarantee that two hours of good,( clean, high class attractions will be on i hand. The official programme will be published the first week in August, and is free to all.
