The other day the barn and stable
belonging to John Hyslop,between the

Goclerich, was struck by lightning
and burned to the ground, with con-
tents, consisting. chiefly of garden
tcols.

t Edlittindr•Oralvlord,',of ,fthe Eth con.,
Hullett, was a very inticIrl'gurprieed
man on Friday night last. He went to
the stable and found a, young foal with
only three legs; one of the fore legs
was wanting from the knee down. The
rest of the colt was wefl developed,aud
it is quite lively. •,
On Saturday evening as John Haw-
thorn and B. McMichael, Seafortb,
were wheeling west on Goderich street
they collided with a rig opposite 0, C.
Wilson's. Hawthorn was uncouscious
for quite a while having received a
very severe shaking up-a,nd McMichael
was very badly bruised.

A very pleasant evening was spent
at the residence of Mrs John McCul-
lough, any 10. when about 00 guests
were present to witness the marriage
rif her youngest daughter. Kate to
John Pickett, both of East Wawanosh.
Mr. and Mrs, F'ickett's future home
will be in Morris, where the groom
has rented a farm for a term of years.
Thomas Kelty, of Listowel, was
charged at the police court Stratford,
with neglecting to support his wife.
Police Magistrate O'Loane tried the
case, which lasted for an hour or so.
The defendant, was convicted largely
through his own evidence. His Viror-
p decidedthat the plaintiff's case had
been established, and ordered Kelty to
pay $10' per month to his wife until
December, after which the monthly
payments will be $8. Kelty agreed to
do so, but evaded the issue by stating
that be would corral the boys' wages,
and turn this over on the account.
He maintained that as the lads were
under age this would be quite within
his right. Mr. Robertson, of the
legal firm of Iclington & Robertson,
appeared for Mrs. Kelty, and -when de-
fendant propounded this ingenious '
proposition he was promptly inform-
ed that he could not touch the lads'
wages.
London has again on hand a street
car strike. Monday at 4.30 o'clock
the men ran the cars into the barn,
and "we walk" was in vogue with the
citizens for the balance of the day.
As it happened, rain fell in copious
showers during the afternoon, render-
ing bicycling impossible, and the
wheelmen walked in common with
the regular patrons of the street care.
For some days past it hes been evident
that a strike could not he averted.
The Inert made emphatic demands,
which, from the ceiripitv's attitude,
it was clear would not be accepted.
The union committee claimed that the
company were fighting for time in or- very effective remedies. We believe
