a prize and so worthy a companion. The
bride was kindly remembered by numer-
ous friends with many useful and costly
presents. The happy pair left for Chi-

COON HUNTING. --On Wednesday night
last a son of Mr. Ragler, of the 8th con.,
set out 'accoon hunting. After traversing
the wood for some time, he heard a noise
hurrying to the scene
inti
1 e distance duel
,
he found that his dog hacl treed, what he
supposed, a raccoon. The night being
Clark he could not see distinctly any ob-
ject at a distance, and supposed it was a
coon, picked up a stone, and threw at
the animal. The shot took effect, strik-
ing it directly upon the eye, felling the
brute to the ground. Not
having
the
slightest perception that it was anything
other than a raccoon, he sprang upon it,
clinched its throat, and held on until
death had become extinct. After find-
ing that life had flee( he arose ; and im-
agine his feelings, when he discovered.
that 116 had killed a lynx or wild cat.
His blood turned cold, and it was many
minutes before ho realized the fact. He
took the Lynx home, and next morning
proceeded to Exeter, Where he sold it to
a taxjderntist. The stone which the
young man threw must have been instru-
mental
nstru-mental' in stunning the brute almost be-
yond recovery, for his' hands bore no
sign of the animal offering resistance,
which it certainly would have done had
not that been the case. He says he
would root like to repeat the dame work.
Tho lynx has the appearance 1 of beinga
a strong and muscur animal, and is sid
to be four years old. They aro reported
plentiful in the swamps in this district,
although very few have been killed of
late 'ears.
Usborne.
NUPTIAL, -One of those eventswhich
is characteristic of the season, took place
at the residence of M. Andrew Stewart,
north boundary, on the 29th ult., it being
the marriage of his youngest daughter,
Maggie, ,o Mr. John P. 14IoLaren, of
Hullett. Tho ceremony was performed
by the Rev. W. H. Gane, of Elimville, in
the presence of a number ofinvitedfriends.
The bridal party presented a brilliant ap-
pearance, the bride being dressed in rich
apparel, while the groom was faultlessly
attired. Of the bridegroom, we know
nothing, more than that he is reputed
worthy. Of tire bride,we k
know much,
and that knowledge is o her advantage,
for to know her is a pleasure. We can,
therefore, hearlily congratulate the bride-
groom on the possession of a `young wife
of such admirable tastes, moulded and
directed as they have been under a prac-
tical and cultured home influence. Miss
Stewert hats rare tastes for everything
that is beautiful, but at the same time
slid not neglect to 'acquaint herself with
the practical routine of life. The wed-
ding was without ostentation of any kind,
but on the contrary, was characterized by
the utmost of good sense throughout.
May theirhone be as happy and beauti-
ful as they were on their bridal day.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. -On Wednesday
last, Mr. Will Fried, son of our respected
townsman Mr. Noah
Fried,
met let with
a most severe accident, and one Which
l
will cause him considerable pain, as well
as the losing of his right aria. It ap1ears
that while working around the grist mill,
he went to lake a belt oft' one of the, pul-
leys, and in doing so, by some unexplain-
ed.means, got his arm caught between
the revolving pulley and belt. He was
drawn around between en t ht shaft and
the
upper floor, every revolution bringing
his head in contact with the rafters, in-
juring his head and neck severely, while
his right arni was severed just below the
elbow, and the body otherwise bruised.
The spectacle presented iuimediately
after the accident was a sad one, and
oven the stronger: nerved of the specta-
tors, could not stand to look on, Medi-
cal aid from. Exeter was immediately
called and the wounds dressed.At e
> the
time of writing he is progressing nicely
and under the earl of the efficient phy-
sician in attendance, we expect soon to
see him around again. What makes the
affair still more serious; is the fact that
his right arm has been removed --tiro
most useful limb.
•Alfred Sutton, son of tit, tate Richard
Sutton, 01 Kincardine, was accidently shot
by a companion reocutly while on n hunting
expedition in British colutubia, whore; the
deceased resided, frotu the effects, of which
he died.
the latter ' engages( ' in conversation with
another gentleman, and the stranger lis-
tened keenly to what was said, seeming
especially interested when Mr. Heuder
son produced $140, which 110 offered to
give his friend for horse hQ desired to
purchase. The offer was refused, and
shortly after 8 o'clock Mr. H. left the
hotel and started homeward along the
trach, the stranger disappearing from the
hotel about the same time. Nothing
further was heard until between ten and
eleven o'clock, when Mr, Henderson stag-
gered into the hotel covered with blood.
t presenting sickening t cl. his.
and present nb a s en Lg spectra , e,
face being so badly punished as to render
it impossible to recognize his features.
The farmer stated` that he was followed
and attacked from the rear with a slug -
shot or some such weapon which felled
him. His assailant then rifled his pockets,
leaving only $3.50, which was in another
place. Finally Mr. Henderson managed
to break away and rushed along the track
until he had the misfortune to fall into a
deep culvert, which rendered him uncon-
scious for over two hours. The sufferer
was immediately placed in bed, and Dr.
Weekes, on being summoned, found a
deep cut extending about three inches
over the eye, besides which the head and
face were all battered up, there being no
less than ten wounds. The injuries were
so serious that it was deemed advisable to
summon Dr. Jakes, and the two medical
men, as well as Mr. Wickett, did their
utmost to alleviate the pain. Still.. Mr.
Henderson lies in a very precarious condi-
tion, and the indignation of the people is
so intense that if the guilty foot -pad could
be captured he would receive condign
punishment from the friends of the in-
jured man.

Herman Cortes lends itself to attractive pia -
taring. "A wall- in the Farroes" is a bit of
travel in au nnfaequented group. All who
love pets will enjoy "Parrots I have met, as
sportsmen will appreciate 'Hunting the
Sandhill." The charming "Walks About
London" capatilly illustrated, is as good as
au actual visit to the vicinity of the great
capital of England, while "Sumner Saun- ,
teriugs About Lake George" makes us feel
that, we have in our land all that is grand
and romantic and interesting. Altogether
the number is one that, in variety of topics,
charm of writing and fineness of illustrations
is unmistiil ably a hit. in gold and colors,
is exquisite.

ho editor of
Fort MacLeod Gazzette telegraphs that no
massacre by the Indians has occurred in the
Northwest, as reported. Everything is
quite there, the Bloods being on their re-
serve. He adds that the rumor probably
originated from the killing of a few Bloods
in Montana some time ago. It was nothing
more or less than a political dodge.
What is probably the greatest water well
in Western Ontario was struck Friday even-
ing on the farm of John Mcllwaiu, 3rd con-
cession of Plympton. Persons were boring
for water, and when a depth of 80 feet was
reached a loud rumbling noise was 1t4eard
the hole. Inan instant the whole top of the
earth seemed to be upheavedand auger,
stones, sand and water were flying in the air
30 feet high. The force of the flow of water
was so great that in a few minutes the dole
was enlarged at the top to about 12 inches in
diameter, but how far down the eulargement
continued cannot be ascertained. The well
is still flowing over at an enormous rate, and
a small river has been formed by its over-
flow. All efforts to plug the hole failed,
logs etc., which were rut into it being thrown
to the top like chips. .
