FRANK LP,SLII:'S PtsPUI,An MONTHLY
Ron Dncnnznlo.—In these days, when out-
door sports are so generally cultivated, many
will read,: the article, "Why we Canoe," by
W. P, Stephens, in the December number of
FRANK LESLIE'S POPULAR MONTHLY, and.
some at least will be tempted to try en
amusement so exhilarating and, attractive.;
"Persian and Turkish Tobacco" have their
votaries too, who will indorse Mr. Oscauyan's:
praises. The Sketch of the Centenarian'
Chemist Chevreul, on whom our Harvard has
just conferred the degree of Doctor of Laws,
will be read with interest. The article on'.
the American Sparrow hawk is fall of inter
just now, as showing how easily it could. be
tamed and used instead of a scarecrow to
keep off grain -devouring birds. A venture-
some young lady, Miss Taylor, tells of, what
she beheld at one of the "Great Thirsty
Dances" among the Indians, till lits horrors
over -powered her. E. McCann goes into -the
byways of life and tells of "Eccentric) Re-
cluses" in a charming way. "The Treatment
of Criminals," with a careful account of the
Elmira Reformat"ry,•ie an article to bo read
and stubied carefully. "A winter in Jama-
ica" is a sketch of West India travel, very
prettily told, and like the other articles in
the number, well and attractively illustrated.
Arthur Dudley Vinton tells the story of
"North American Earthquakes." "The
Fisher -girl of Grand Menem," "Two Inspir-
ations," "Shadow or Substance?" and other
stories in this magazine, justify its title of
the Popular Monthly."

On Thursday and: Friday last, a severe
storm visited this place and surrounding
country, considerable snow fell, and the
wind blew furiously, but to -day (Monday)
we are again favored with the genial rays of
the sun, and the merry jingle of the sleigh -
bells enlivening business, and things gener-
ally.
ACCIDENT.—One day last month, a 20
months old child of Mr. Menno Vincent; of
the Bronson Line, Hay, met with a serious
accident. Mrs. Vincent, who was engaged
in household duties, heard a scream, and on
going out was horrified to find the child
lying on his face Weltering in blood. It
seems that a horse had come up from the
field and kicked the child, cutting his left
cheek completely through, and otherwise
injuring his head and face. Although it is
wonderful how the little fellow escaped
death, we are happy to state that he is still
ry ,
.
comb well and almost recovered.

BRIEFS.—Mr. Alex. Kirk and family
are now enjoying the comforts of their
new house.—The cow nuisance has be-
gun in earnest. As soon as a load of hay
comes it is at once besieged by a horde of
hungry bovineswho' are only kept at
bay by the vigorous use • of a whip or
pitchfork. A sleigh stopping on the
street is cleaned out in short order, with
perhaps the exception of a buffalo -robe or
crowbar or some other indigestible ar-
ticle. How long shall these things be ?
—The many friends of MissJ'ennie Irvine,
of Bathgate, Dakota, whither, she went a

Mr. F. is to be congratulated on securing
the hand and heart of such an amiable
intelligent christian young woman.—From
a scene of joy we pass to one of sadness.
Death has once more invaded our com-
munity.and left, a hearthstone desolate.
On Saturday night last, Master T6uintie
Dickie yielded up his breath and passed
peacefully beyond the bourne, and on
Monday his remains were laid to rest.
Deceased left itis hone about a month
ago o]1 a visit, in the enjoyment of all the
health and vigor of youth, little dreaming
that that visit would be his 1ast but
such it proved to be. Feeling unwell, he
returned home, hearing in his system the
germ of some deadly disease, the
symptoms of which were apparent to
all his friends. Drugs were administer-
ed, kind care bestowed, and every ef-
fort made to save his young life, but all
to no avail. Lower and lower he sank.
Throb, throb, throb beat the death-watch
in the shattered wall. Gone, gone for-
ever ! The second death in the family
within a short time, his twin brother,
Willie Charlie, having died but a few
months ago. Attractive, gentle, and
possessed with intelligence above the or-
dinary, he was a general favorite with all
who knew him, and his early demise is
much regretted by a wide circle of friends.
Though young, he had chosen his life's
profession, viz: that of a hunter, and gave
promise of being a capital mouser. Poor

case of accidental death. The woman was a
former resident of St. Marys, but is believed
to haye been Hying of late in London.
Saturday evening, about 6 o'clock, Mr. E.
A. Young, fireman ou the G. T. R., at Strat-
ford, was found dead in hie room at his
boarding house, corner Nile and Douro streets,
with his throat cat from ear to ear and an
open razor in his hand. No reason can be
assigned for the act other than that he has
been sick for some time and was very des-
pondent.`
A certain farmer residing in Clinton, tells
that he noticed a swallow banging suspend-
ed from a rafter iu his barn, and as he
could not see any reason, for it hanging
there, he took the trouble of climbing up to
find out. The bird had apparently, been
building its nest, and in using a horse hair
by some means it had coiled around the
swallow's neck, and strangled it.
A few days since, a son of Mr. W. Stevens,
of Hallett, met with a painful accident
through the thoughtlesness of a schoolmate.
Some of the children were out in the echooi-
yard, when one of them threw a stone
at another. Instead of hitting the one in-
tended for, it struck young Stevens on the
forehead, cutting open Ins skull and inflict-
ing a wound that it will take some time to
heal up.
