Bayfield: On Friday there was to be seen at the court house the sad and fortunately, rare spectacle of six boys, four of then; not yet out of knicker- bockers, and the eldest under eighteen years of age, on trial for serious viola- tion of the law. They were the lads who were arrested in connection with the theft of goods from the store of George H. Hewson at Bayfield on the 19th of February and the stealing of a number of whips from cutters on Sunday, the 2nd of April, while the owners were in church. The pri- soners were sent up by police magis- trate Seager, and all asked for sum- mary trial by the j adge. County Crown attorneyLewis prosecuted and W. Proudfoot appeared for the pri- soners. Against George Brown there were two charges of whip -stealing; Henry McGee and James Sanderson were accused of breaking into Hew- son's store; the charge against Charles Card was that of receiving two nap- kin rings stolen from- the store; and Wm. Hewitt and James Atwood were each charged with breaking into Hew - son's store and also with stealing a h p Allpleaded w i guilty to the. several changes. The articles taken from the store included pipes, tobac- co, mouth organs, napkin rings, ink, mucilage, sponges, stationery, per - turnery, etc. The boys all lived at Bayfield, but Hewitt had been there only about a year. It is said he has a mother and sister in Toronto. Brown and McGee are1 Only fourteen. Years Old, , w Atwood Sanderson son and Carel are fifteen, and Hewitt will be eighteen next month. In considera- tion of their youthfulness and good re- putation, Judge Masson, after some words of admonition, discharged the five younger boys on suspended sen- tence. Hewitt, who, it appears, had led the other boys into. wrongdoing, was sentenced to three months in goal With labor. A Frightful Blunder. Will often cause a horrible Burn Scald, Cut or Bruise.

Deceased had always enjoyed the best of health, and on the day of his death, which was Saturday, he attended the funeral of John D. McNaughton. About S o'clock that evening i ng he c Onplaiuel of having a pain in his side and upon the advice of some of his funilly, he con- sulted Dx'. Gunn but nothing serious was looked for. He returned honne and retired about 9 o'clock. A couple of hours later 'his breathing became hard and the Dr. was srn nloned but despite all that medical skill could do his spirit took its flight to God who gave it. Brussels: Brussels business men of- fered $28 divided into five prizes for a sawing match with cross -eclat saws. The contest was held on tate Market Square on Wednesday afternoon, and was witnessed by a large nunber of people. Two cuts had to be made by each couple off a beech log that mea- sured 20 inches and 19 inches respec- tively at butt and top. The prizes were awarded as follows: 1st, $8, to Harris & Ramsay, Grey; 2nd, $6, to Bernard & Willis, Wroxeter; 3rd, $4, to Wiltse & Harris, Grey; 4th, $2, Man ser & Barnard, Wroxeter; 5th, $1, Lo- gan & Logan, Blyth. The time by Messrs. Harris & Ramsay will not be easily beaten, as 53 seconds for two cuts is rather hustling things. Wingham: What night have caused a serious accident occurred. just before seven o'clock on Wednes- day morning at Chapman's Glove Factory. Solve repairs had been made to the engine by a man from. Galt, and whether all had not been • t sufficiently secured or not, we cannot say, but the engine nearly shot out of the building. One of the pulleys flew to pieces, going through the floor above, and then out through the win- . dow. One shaft was badly bent, and another broken in two pieces, one of the pieces failing on a machine, and breaking it. Had the accident happen- ed a few minutes later, Mr. Bisbee,. who works at the machine, would per- haps have been frilled by the broken . shaft. Ninety Per Cent.
