By Our Own Correspondents,
Hibbert.
A HEAVY Loss. --We are sorry to learn
that our friend, Mr: John Stewart, of
Hibbert, recently lost his fine mare, for
which lie paid the sum • of $1,000. It
appears the' animal was taken sudden-
ly sick, when the aid of a friend was
sumrnoned,who at once gave some medi-
cine. The remedies given failed to help
the mare, and by the time Mr. D. Millar,
V. S., of Hensall, w.ho-wasithen sent for,
arrived the poor animal was so near, its
end that he saw at once that nothing
could then be done to save its life, though
it is quite probable he could have saved
her had he been summoned at first. In
cases of sickness with valuable horses it
would doubtless be well to at once secure
the services of some competent veterin-
ary.

THE ARAB CHILDREN. -The Arab child-
ren that have been roving about the coun-
try, first at Toronto, then at Guelph,
arrived' here last Friday, from the above
named city. The chief brought the little
fellow and his sister before the P. M.,
who asked the boy if he could speak Eng-
lish
nolisle l He replied that he could not. When
asked what his sister's name was, he
replied with emphasis, "Ma-ree," the
English of which we suppose is Mary.
He is an intelligenteat boy of about twelve,
lv
e
,
with olive camplexion, dark eyes and hair.
He wore a sort of toga. The little girl is
about fifteen, and remarkably fine looking.
She had on a turban, and wore a loose
gown. Upon receiving a telegram from
Milwaukee, the. Chief telephoned to the
station agent at St. Marys; whither they
had gone, to hold them there, until he
arrived. The sante evening the Chief
arrived with them, and placed them in care
of thea
L diesf
o Loretto, in this
city -the
children being Roman Catholics. The
uncle of the children cameonfro3nBethle-
ham, Penn., Sunday morning. In com-
pany with the Chief they visited the Con-
vent, where the children had been. kindly
attended to by the Ladies of Loretto.
When the children recognized their uncle
they rushed to him with open arias, kissed
and, hugged hire, while great tears rolled
down their cheeks. The scene was very
affecting. The kind-hearted sisters were
visibly affected.
DIED IN Jail -John O'Grady, ditcher,

who reeeivetevere injuries at the hands of
two fellow work -men in a drunken brawl
in Ellice, two weeks ago, died from the
injuries sustained at the county jail Tues-
day morning. Coroner • Hyde, being ap-
prised of the circumstances of the case, de-
cided to hold an inquest, which was held in
the Court House Tuesday afternoon. From
the evidence elicited at the inquest it ap-
pears that O'Grady and two others belong.
ingg to the sante gang, while here two weeks
ago, got into an altercation, and when near-
ing their shanty. in Ellice township, ' the
two pounced upon O'Grady, kicking and
bruising him in a shameful and brutal man-
ner, leaving him for dead. The following
morning he was taken to the camp. Short-
ly after medical aid was summoned, but all,
to no avail. He sank very rapidly until, as
a last resort, the contractor, Mr. Nicholson,
heel him convoyed to this city. He was
immediately takcu to Dr. P. R. Shave's
office, but, as the doctor stated in his evi-
denuo, the unfortunate man was dying

not do any-

BEIM, -During the past few Sun -
clays, the applicants for the position of organist in the Methodist Church, here,
have been displaying their knowledge of
the profession. On Sabbath last, Mr.
Follick presided, and, judging from the
manner 1n which he managed the insteu-
inent,' it is reasonable to believe that the
position would be given him. The dif-
fordnt tones of the orgasm were distinctly
brought out, which, to do justice to a
pipe organ, is absolutely necessary. -A
great many people were in town on Tues-
day, availing themselves of the opportun-
ity of visiting tile..Z+'orepaugh circus and '
menagerie. Although notequal to that
of former years, the show still merits its
name "the all -feature exhibition". The
street parade was of the . highest order,
while the inside portion of the programme
was very satisfactory to the thousands
present. -The, Collegiate Institute and

Turnbull is absent spending his vacation.
-Mr. W. H. Graham, of this place, has
three very fine entire horses, which he
imported last spring, one three-year old,
and two two-year olds. ` They are from
the choicest stock of Scotland, and give

concerning the enforcement of ..our by-

secuted as they ;might .be, but •still, - in
order to; prevent geese ;; from running at
large upon our principal thoroughfares, it
would require additional assistance,
especially night -watchmen. At any time
from 5 to '7 a. m., almost every day, large
flocks of geese can be seen on Queen-st,,
and a cow or two occasionally. Ofcoursean
allowance to pasture in the streets during
the day is given, but they are supposed to
be taken care of at night. To the sorrow
of many, this is - sadly neglected, for go
where you may, a stray bovine or so can
be seen; but .this is due only to the fact
that the regulation is either wrongly
framed or reluctancy on the part of the
person whose duty it to ook after such.
matters.. It would be much better to
have the by-law repealed, and compiled
so that cows be prohibited from running
at large, or allowed freedom the entire
twenty-four hours of the day. As it is,
some citizens comply with the restrictions,
while others do not, and for an officer to
spend time at night looking up cattle, he
would require good compensation.
TURF' CLUB IVrenr ivo.--Tile annual fall
meeting of the St. Marys Driving Park
Association occurred. on Friday last, on
the course. The day was somewhat
warm,
but
the track •ick tivas in excellent
condition, and the directors affirm that,
as far as the races were ` concealed, they
had a very successful meeting; but finan-
cially, is was a partial failure, the num-
ber of spectators being few, which is ac-
counted for from the fact that previous
meetings having invariably been failures, •
and the races not worth witnessing, the
people did not turn out. The success of
this meeting, which is to a great extent
due to the efforts put forth bythe court-
eous secretary, Mr. Geo. raham, will
assist materially towards ensuring favor-
able results at the next gathering. The
first race was a
3 minute
trot, in which
six horses were entered. There were
seven heats, each being keenly contested,
