-Mr. Daniel Liveegood and family re-
moved to Mountain, North Dakota, On
Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Livergood
are old residents of Hay, having come
here with their parents when the
country was all bush. Of late e'ears,
however, a xnunber of their children
having settled in North Dakota, they
had. it very natural desire to be near
them in their declining years'and of
their trials and triumphs to the new
land. Mr. Wm. Becker, their son-in-
law, and family went with them. The
best wishes of very many friends ac-
company them to their new home. -
Mr. Albert Deitz, who has been vieit-
iug friends in this vicinity duringthe
winter, left last week for Manitoba.
He has been in Dakota fax seven years
and did well there, but as he has two
brothers in Manitoba, he decided to
try that country, and if he likes it will
likely remain there,
TERRIFIC EXPLOSION. The most
terrific and disastrous explosion that
ever took place in these parts occurred
here on Wednesday, March 15th, about
2 o'clock, in the afternoon, caused. by
the. blowing up of an acetylene gas
Machine, located in Messrs. Merner
Bros.' general store. The force was
so great as to blow out the east side
and front of the building, wrecking a
number of buildings on the opposite
side of the street, shatteringwindows
two blocks distant, and causing a gen-
eral commotion throughout the town.
The shock was felt for miles around,
and all seemed strickeu with conster-
nation at such an unusual occurrence.
The building in which the explosion
occurred took fire, but a large number
soon gathered around and extinguished
the flames. All the clerks, together
with a number of customers, were in
the. store at the time, and also a num-
ber on the street when the explosion
took place and how all escaped with
their lilies is a miracle. Mr. Merner,
however, was severely burned; but
130 others were injured. The loss on
the stock is estimated at $1000, while
the loss on real estate will be consider-
able.

have to chroniede the .death of Master
Lawrence 'Wood. .the Seteetreild Son of

which oceurred very suddenly on Sat -

never strong and rugged, was a par-

Clinton; It is with very deep regret
indeed that we announce the de.ath of
the wife of Thos. Mason, of town,
which occurred on Tuesday afteruoon,
at the early age 1)2 41 years. She has
not enjoyed good health fora consider-
able time; even while living on the
farin her condition was critical, but
she improved somewhat on moving to
town, though latterly it was evident
she was falling. She was the eldest
daughter of Mrs. "trodden, of town,
and was an amiable wife and mother -
She was it consistent member of the
Methodist church, and all through her
sufferings, (which were intense,) there
was the evidenee of rest on divine
grace. Not able to participate, in
church services, she nevertheless lived
a life of abiding faith in Him who is
eternal. She leaves two children, a
son and daughter, and her husband
has the very deepest sympathy of the,
entire'community in his sad bereave-
ment.
