The Montreal Gazette of v t as ti Monday , ;►ir. C. Vallee, of the Queen's
Hotel, has returned from a, fortnight's
trip in the Muskoka district, during
which he eontpletecl the pnrehase o
the Hotel St, Joseph, on Lake Huron,
and wine 3 miles from Gcalerich, Ont.
The purchase also includes a, large
traactof hand, wild and improved. The
price paid for the whole is $4000. A.
new wharf is in process of construc-
tion at St. Joseph, and railway coni.
urication is contemplated. When
lase are completed, St. Joseph, it is
a anticipated, will be a very popular re.
sort.
Another P. 0. climate.
et circular has been issued by the P.
O. Department which sets forth that
owing to the reduction in the domestic
letter rate of postage the issue of the
three -cent letter card, the three -cent
stamped envelope, and the three -cent
post stamp from the department has
Ceased. Existing supplies of these de.
nominations will be surcharged down
to two cents by the department and
sold
ti by postmasters at that value.
u the 20th Inst, the issue of the
ordinary two -cent purple -coloured
stamps will be discontinued, and when
the surcharged threes are all used, the
issue of a new two -cent stamp in reel
will begin. The change to red is the
outcome of a decision of the Universal
Postal Union, which stipulates that
the colour of the domestic rate of post-
age stamp in all countries of the union
trust be in red.

Mr. Ed. Howard, of the firm of Dyer
& Howard, met with an accident on
Tuesday morning which resulted in
him nearly losing his life. It appears
he had loaded a large water tank on
the light wagon at the factory and'
lust as he drove around the corner a
little East, the horse became frighten-
ed at the rattling of the tank and
started to run and kick. Mr. Howard
hung unto the lines the best he could
for some distance, but realising the
imminence of his daazger,jumped from
the rig. Just as he did so the heavy
tank at the same time rolled off and Mr
Howard was caught with terrible force
as he lay prone, rendering him almost
unconscious and nearly crushing his
life out. He was at once removed to
his home and surgical aid. summoned
when it was discovered that one arm
and shoulder had been badly crushed
andhe was otherwise internallyinj ured,
He is now confined to his bed suffer-
ing considerable pain and it is expect-
ed he will have to remain there for
several days. It is wonderful how he
escaped from instant death.
Who is He?
A correspondent writing the Park.
hill Gazette Review, says:—At Grand
Bend the other day I saw the holiday
pleasure and health seeker. Re was
in the sun and he stood upon the sand
—near the waters of Old Huron. The
sun shone brightly but he apparently
heeded not in blinding rays. As he
walked he sank in the sand but no
murmur escaped him. The prespir-
ation rolled from. his face but he heed-
ed not. his face was tanned, his vis-
age woeful to behold. He had a
martyr -like look which evoked my
pity. His clothes were in keeping
with his looks. Tattered pants, ;a
shabby shirt which refused to close at
the front, and a torn straw hat made
uphis costume, Who.was this poorcrature ? By what fate -weds he driven
to these inhospitable shores ? Why
look so intently on these glaring
waters?," To be or not to be," was
that the question ? Did this forlorn
creature, deserted by his fellows and
pursued by some cruel fate,betake
himself, to these solitary, dreary sands
in order to " hake arms against a sea
of troubles and opposing end them " ?
'Such were the queries which came to
zny mind; and almost before. I was.
aware l asked the question: " Whence
came youand what are you doing
here ?" The man had evidently not
seen me up to this time and with a
startled look he turned round and in
mournful accents said " I am from
Exeter and I am here enjoying my
holidays," With a sickly smile, he.
turned his face lake -wards and though
days have passed since then I imagine
I can see this Exeter man wearily
trudging along in the sand in the full
blaze of the July sun.

Any amount of annoyance,and great

of .

Inspector Howe, of the leire Under-
wr'iter's Association was in town on
Wednesday evening of last week and
gave the fireman an unexpected coil.
However, they were equal to the
occasion and quickly responded. The
engine was taken to the tank north of
Parson's blacksmith shop and in nine
and three quarter minutes the engine
was throwing a good stream of water.
The Tri-State Band .Association will
hold their annual meet at Detroit on
Wednesday and Thursday, .August
16th and 17th. This will be one of the
grandest demonstrations of the kind
ever held in the United States and
many of the largest and best bands of
the Union will be in attendance. It
will indeed be a rare treat and doubt-
less will be largely attended. Single
fare tickets for the round trip will be
issued.
It is a well established principle of
kw that in crossing streets or high-
ways the,person on foot has the right
of way. Drivers aucl bicycle riders
should always bear this fact in mind.
It is law and if you injure pedestrians
by careless driving or riding you are
responsible for it. .A. person is not re-
quired by law to ran across the street
to keep out of the way of vehicles and
bicycles. The drivers and riders are
the ones to look out for a clear track.
There appears to be quite a number
of counterfeit $1 bills in circulation,
and several have been detected at the
banksinToronto. Merchants and others
should watch carefully all the $1 bills
they handle, and a 'short description
of the counterfeit is : as follows: A
fair counterfeit is dated June 1, 1878,
series"A." A most noticeable defect
is the portrait of Lord Dufferin,which
lacks a life like appearance, and is
poorly engraved. In the counterfeit
the position of the head hides the right
eye. The lathe work is very poorly
imitated, and the paper is of inferior
quality.
On Wednesday morning last while
the Lacrosse team were journeying
home from Seaforth they met with a
rather unpleasant experience, whereby
they were compelled to walk part of
the way home. When within a few
miles of town the bolt in one of the
w`
piffle r
t res gave way, causing one of
the horses to kiek, when both broke
from the rig and ran away. The boys
were now in a quandry what to do,
hat finally decided to walk home and

J. A. C. Casselle, of Berlin, gave an
exhibitionof tight rope walking on
Main street Thursday evening which,
was a source of attracting an exceed-
ingly large crowd of people. The cable
was fastened to the top of Messrs. H.
Bishop & Son's dry goods store and
across to the Commercial 73ouse. .The
feats performed by him were indeed
daring and me rvelIous. The most dif-
ficult of his performances were those
of making a bed on the cable, getting
into it and lying down as if retiring;
wheeling a wheelbarrow across, and
standing on his head, all of which
were done with ease and were vigor
ensly applauded.
