A School Boy's Eskay.
The subject of an essay at one of our
schools the other day was " Breath,"
and ibis was one of the boy's composi-
tions. We'll not tell you in which of
the ward schools tt was:—
Breath is made of air. We breathe
with our lungs, our lights, our liver,
and our kidneys. ' If it wasn't for our
breath we should die when we slept.
Our breath keeps the life agoing
through the nose when we are asleep.
Boys that stay in a Room all day should
not breathe. They should wait till they
get outdoors. Boys in a room make
carbonicide. Catbonicide is more poi.
sonous than mad dogs. A lot of sol-
diers was in a black hole in India, and
earbonieide got in that hole` and killed
nearly everyone afore morning, Girl's
kill the breath with corsets that squeeze

Seaforth : Mr. James Robb, manag-

us that the record for killing the larg-
est number of hogs in one day by them
at their factory was broken on Tues
day last. From ten o'clock in the
morning until six at night 77 hogs
were killed, dressed and split. This
work was done by only three men,
Messrs. F. Hayward, Charles Bates And
James McNamara, and is considered
by those competent to judge as un-
usually fast work.
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

the engine to run wild for a minute or.

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
