A SURE CURE „BOB ThantIlIATIS31. -A
remarkable cure of rheumatism under
pecular circumstances has been
brought to our notice, being that of
Mr. J. J. Cassidy, of 'West Corners.
He had been a sufferer from the very
unpleasant trouble for some time Tont
it left him Very stiddenly one day. It
appears his house took fire recently
and seeing the destroyingelement was
going to lay the home low, nothing
was left for him to do but get -to work
and check it if possible. So Trojan like
and forgetful of all his past andpre-
sent aches and pains he set to work.
The result was marvellous, the blaze
was extinguished and from that day
to this,Mr. Cassidy has never had a
symptom of the disease, the cure
evidently being effected by his active
efforts. Victims of the disease might
try this sitnple cure and prove its
efficacy.

Clinton: On Tuesday Mr. George
Ninaens departed this life in London
hospital where he had been for a
couple of years suffering, from the
effects of an accident he met with in
that city. The remains were latiditht
home and the funeral took place from
his late residence Wednesday after-
noon. Mr. Nimens, who was a shoe-
maker by trade, had been a resident of
Clinton sinte the sixties. Mrs.Nitnens

Clinton: Mrs Serarmeof Haysville,
and her sister, Mrs. Andrew Halliday,
of Colborne, had a narrow escape on
Saturday last from meeting with a
serious accident. They were on their
way to visit friends at Bayfield and
when approaching the track at the
station the horse took fright at a mov-
ing train and bolted for the crossing
in front of the train which was as
quickly as possible brought to aestop.
Not so with the horse, which turned
up the track at a gallop and continued
to keep between the rails to the Y and
thence up the L.11.& B. to the Huron
Road where it was finally secured at
Mr. Cottle's, neither horse or cutter
being any the worse for the run. Mrs.
Serarus jumped . out of the cutter
when the animal started its pranks
and Mrs Halliday was thrown out
shortly afterwards, but neither were
hurt.
McKillop: We. deeply regret to re-
cord the demise of Mr. George Durie,
of the 5th concession, which took
place on Sunday, after an illness of
but one-week. -Mr. Duple had been
in Seafort13 on Saturday, and after re-
turning home he took a chill which
was -followed by an attack of inflam-
mation of the lungs, and which prov-
ed fatal in a week. He was a man in
the prime of life being not .quite 49
years of age. He was a native of Mc
ICillop, being the only son of the late
jetties Durie, and a brother of Mrs.
Andrew Swan, of Brucefield. He was
it strong, robust man and one who
bid fair to live to a good old age. But
his death is an other evidence of the
great uncertainty of life, even to the
most promising. He leaves a widow
and family of lave sons and two daugh-
ters to mourn the great loss which has
fallen upon them. The eldest son,
James, is in South Africa. and all the
others are at home

Seaforth: Mr. James Beattie and
Miss Beattie had it most ,nairaculons
escape from it very serious accident on
Thursday evening of last week. They
drove to the railway station with a
horse and cutter to meet the six o'clock
train from the east, and, as the train
was a little late, they were driving
around the streets to put in the time.
When passing along the street that.
runs in front of Dick's hotel stables,
they were overtaken by a team of
runaway horses attached to a sleigh.
Before they could get out of the way
the horses were upon them. They
jumped. on the cutter and earriedit out
to Main street, where, in some way,
they got disentangled from Mr. Beat -
tie's cutter. Mr. 1:Beattie's horse also
got away from the wreck, but did not
run far until it was captured. Mr.
Beattie and his daughter were thrown
from the cutteawhich was smashed to
pieces, but neither they nor their
horse was seriously injured. Mr.Beat-
tie received a few bruises, and Miss
Beattie was also slightly bruised, but
the injuries of neither were serious
How they escaped is a mystery, which
they cannot account for themselves.
That the cutter in which they were
seated was smashed to pieces, and that
they escaped injury, is one of the for-
tunate circumstances which cannot be
accounted for. We unite with their
many friends in congratulating them
on their escape from injury.
