New York, Jan. 6th—Sir James P: Whitneye Premier of Oetario, who is ill with heart disease and nervous trouble at the Hotel Manhattan, con- tinues to hold his own.

About half way between Winghani and Teessvater in Turnberry, there is a bole 100 feet long and 50 feet deep It has been growing steadily larger for several days, and all efforts to locate the cause have failed. The theory is. that some distdnce under the roadway there is quicksand and that water has swept it away, al- lowing the eart:h above to fall in. This in turn, it is feared, will be washed away and the people are vondering where the :damage will stop. In the case reported near Belgrave there is a hole 35 feet deep and many yards, in length. The two holes are miles apart, and both are a Iong dis- tance from any river. ' it is reported that last summer the boys swimming ,in the river near Wing noticed what they thought was a sort of whiilpool, and this is now con- aected with the cave-ins on the, roadway, the idea being that an and& ground stream is washing away the earth Harvey the little sae Mr, and Mrs Geo Godbolt. has been very ill for tWo weeks of inflammation of the kidaeys, hut is recovering nicely, Mr. Guy Routly of Clinton spent a dav or two with his parents, Reeve arta Mrs, Samuel Routly.
