Herald of Feb. 19th contains the following account of. the death of Myrtle Jones, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Morley Jones, former residents of McGillivray:—It is with the most profound regret that we are compelled to chronicle the death of little Myrtle Jones, which occurred at noon last Sunday, after an illness of only three days with scarlet fever. Little Myrtle was the idol of her fond parents and her death comes as a crushing blow to their aching hearts. For almost eight years she had been their only child and their affection had become as only the truest of parents have for their children. She was born in McGillivray township, Ont.,_. March 21, 1890, being eight years old had she been spared nail next month. Ari vate funeral was held Tuesday after- noon and the remains of the little one were tenderly laid away in Forest Hoene 0,1 cemetery.

' To further prevent gambling at fairs Mr. Dryden will introduce in the Leg- islature a bill empowering any con- stable or peace officer to immediately, seize, without warning or notice, any "devices or instruments" used by any person in connection with gambling or games of chance. The constable may also arrest on sight, without a warrant the person running the same games and take him before the nearest mag- istrate having jurisdiction, who may flue or imprison him and order the destruction of the instrument seized. Under the present act it has been pos- sible for fakirs, with the exertion of a little tact and foresight, to evadethe law,, owing to the fact that it was necessary for constables to obtain war- rants before taking any action. Accidents. Mr. John Pedler, of Stephen, met with a painful accident on Saturday last which will confine him to the house for some time. He was house- ing bis cattle when one of them kicked him with such force as to dislocate his knee joint. Aid was summoned r and the dislocation reduced under chloro- form, by the aid of neighbors. -On Monday last while Tommy, son of Mr. Wm. Quinten, of Usborne, was feeding horses, one of them kicked him in the face, inflicting bad gashes and dislodg- ing three teeth. Two of the teeth were replaced, while the other could not be found. A surgeon dressed the wounds which required several stitches to close and the boy is now doing nicely. Council Proceedings. Council met pursuant to adjourn- ment at Town. Hall, Feb. 24.
