Rirkton : Our quiet village was thrown into considerable excitement last week over the arrest of a young man which our town constable brought back from London township. He had been working in this town for some time and bought some goods from one of the stores here' for himself and charged them to his employer without any authority to do so. He and his employer disagreed and he left, but was brought back again and taken before the magistrate and seat to Strat- ford to await his trial. Seaforth: It is with feeling of deep regret; that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Wm. Aitchison, which took place at her home in Huilett, on Monday. Itis well known that the deceased had been in delicate health for some time, hav- ing suffered from an affection of the heart, but no immediate 'danger was anticipated until a few days before her death. She had always been a patient sufferer and passed peacefully away trusting in her Saviour. She was a daughter of the late John McKenzie and was born in Pieton, Nova Scotia. She was married to her now sorrowing husband 28 years ago. Her family consists of five children, four sons and one daughter, four of which survive her.

Clinton: An accident occurred at Fair's mill yesterday morning, which thousb of a serious nature, was ' re- markable in the fact that no serious re- sults attends(' it. The governor' belt. of the saw mill engine ran off, allowing the engine to run wild for a minute or. two. Wat Marlow, with commendable nerve, went down and checked theen- gine, and just at the same moment the. large fly wheel burst, scattering in every direction. One large piece, weighing possibly a hundred pounds or more, passed up the opening where the saw works; out through the roof, and landed over behind Millar's shop, din the opposite side of the street.

The horse was caught and the vehicle put to one side, and then Ful- ford led the animal up town to .the stable. Finding that one ofhis legs was sore he called on a doctor to have it attended to. The next morning he was exceedingly feverish and the M. -D. being called in discovered that he was suffering internally and so rapidly -did. complications ensue that . he died the same evening. E. J.
