Building London, sismiNOMNIMUNIMIN SUSPICION QF POISONING Woodstock, Nov, 18. -Herbert J3ow- erniian, aged 27 years, died iindet' my- sterious circumstances in West Zorra on Wednesday afternoon, and the authorities are investigating. He was out ploughing, and while engaged in a conversation with a neighbor sud- denly dropped to the ground. In a short time he was dead. The stomach of the deceased bas been forwarded to Dr, Ellis of Toronto for exaruinetion, It is, said that certain parties threat- ened some time ago to poison the mem. hers of the Bowerman household. RECOVERED HORSES London, Nov. 19.—It will be remem- bered that some time ago Mr, Peter Murray, a farmer living Clear the vil- lage of Mitchell, lost a couple of very valuable horses through the malprac- tices of some unknown thief. Mr. Mitchell was in Oaradoc with his team, and, at a. favorable• opportunity, a thief annexed the outfit and made oil` with it. So clever was he in covering up his traces that he could not be loca- ted. Detective. Northgreaves was put upon the trail and he has succeeded in recovering the more valuable of the two horses. He found it in the pos- session of P. A. Collins, in Muirkirk Township, Kent County, who had, he said, obtained the animal in trade and refused to part with it. He said that he had given another horse and $50 to boot to a stranger, who had come to hirer with the horse to sell. . However, a search warrant was made out, Mr. Collins had to give up the horse. and Mr. Northgreaves returned it to its owner. • The animal is said to be worth about $300, and it can well be imagin- ed that Mr. Murray was glad to get it back. Mr. Collins naturally did not. like giving his own horse and good money away, so he, as well as the county authorities, is on the trail of the thief. MISS DAVIDSON'S MEMORY A BLANK. • London, Nov, 18.—High Constable McLoud, on. Wednesday last went to Parkhill to see Miss Davidson, the young lady who was so brutally as- saulted recently while driving home. Miss Davidson was suffering from a severe blow on the head and another on the chest. Her chin and throat were black and blue from the terrible choking she received at the hands of her assailaut. The young lady de- scribed the whole affair to Mr. Mc - Loud. She remembered being drag- ged from the hack of the carriage, and then she was beaten into • insensibility and only awoke to find herself tied to the fence with one of the reins. Mr. McLoud also heard of two young men who had passed along the road on the night in question, and had seen the carriage standing empty. These young men took home what articles they found in the vehicle. The remains of a man who was killed by a train in Essex county were brought to this city, and as the unfortunate was with- out friends, his body was given to the medical authorities, Both legs are cut off, but some of those who viewed the corpse say it answers the descrip- tion given by Miss Davidson of the 1118.13 who assaulted her. The most convincing circumstance is that there is, on the left cheek, a wound which was inflicted before death, and which looks very mach as is it were inflicted by a bite. Miss Davidson herself, it will be remembered, asserted that in her desperate struggle with her assail- ant, she succeeded in biting him on the cheek. The body in question was found at the side of the track, about two miles west of the Maidstone sta- tion, by a sectionman of the M.O.R. Word was sent to Coroner Jenner, of Essex, and he took the remains in charge. The man had sbort hair, and a dark mustache, and was between 140 and 50 years of age. The messure- meet of the body show that he was abort 5 feet 8 inches high and 170 pounds in weight. Stanley Mrs. D. J. McClinchey, who is on the sick list, is recovering.—Mrs. L.

McEwen, a well known and prosperous young far- mer of the 2nd con. Ceremony and congratulations being over the large assembly moved to the dining room, where a bountiful repast was served. The bride is not only popular and ac- complished, but is a practical and thrif- ty housekeeper and we feel certain that she will -make an ideal wife. The groom is an all-round good fellow and we congratulate him on securing such an estimable bride. The wedding pres- ents were numerous, varied and costly, an evidence of the high esteem enter- tained toward the youthful bride, cou- pled with the donor's earnest wish that the loving pair may long enjoy to the full life's inestimable blessing, be- neath wealth and happiness. DEATH.—Ater a painful illness last- ing but nine days, the beloved wife of Reber't Downs gave up her earthly existence on Monday evening. A few months ago she received a severe shock through falling and breaking her arm. and, though able to be around, her vi- tality had been weakened, and when she fell victim to a cold, followed by pleurisy a n p y d n pneumonia, not much hope was held out for herrecovery. eco cry..

Brucefield Two RUNAWAYS.—On Saturday af- ternoon our usually quiet village was the scene of a runaway. Thos. Baird and wife drove in, stopping in front of Mr. Scott's store; Mr. Baird got out, holding the lines, leaving Mrs. Baird in the buggy, when the horse started off; Mrs. Baird caught one line, after Mr. Baird had been dragged for some distance, and the horse was pulled to the other side of the street, where it ran over a waggon standing at Mr. Kaiser's blacksmith shop; Mrs. Baird was thrown out, but not seriously hurt. The horse then took the road and made off at "high speed, running until she reached the bridge near Clin- ton, where it was stopped by a lum- ber waggon being placed upon the bridge. The horse was none the worse for the adventure, but the buggy was destroyed. Mr. Baird finding his horse, took it to Clinton, where be re- paired the harness, and purchased a new buggy, and drove the horse back. Had the horse managed to get to Clin- ton the damage would assuredly have been greater, as the streets were crowcl- ed with people and vehicles.

Mr. Mustard also escaped serious injury, The horse was not, injured, hut the buggy was somewhat, broken. Mr. Mustard secured a quiet horse from Mr. Duncan, and drove Mrs, Mustard home the some evening, incl, we un- derstand, she is recovering nicely.
