out to open the gate he told the little
boy to drive the team through, while
he shut the gate behind. The lad was
unable to drive straight, with the re-
sult that the team ran away, smashing
and overturning the waggon, as well
as upsetting the milk stand, uprooting
two maple trees and ripping up a rod
of Page wire fence in their mad race,
before gettmg free of the waggon,with
its poor little occupant, who was
jostled about at a lively rate in the
waggon box, and finally when the
waggon was upset, he was found un-
derneath, bruised somewhat. but not
seriously hurt. His escape from cer-
tain death was not short of a miracle.

of Stratford. made the arrest. Harri-
son has been wanted upon the charge
for a year and a half, the warrant
having been issued in January, 1899.
Constable McCarthy believes he has
secured evidence that the priaorier not
only passed the counterfeit coin, but
was engaged in its manufacture as
well. The (offence is alleged to have
been committed in the township of
Mornington, County of Perth. He
was committed for trial.
That Perth County Council haVe
made a fortunate and most creditable
selection iu George Hamilton, of Se-
bringyille, for County Treasurer, the
consensus of opinionewill agree. In-
deed, the competence of the applicants
generally was of a high order, which
renders the selection of Mr. Hamilton
all the more conmlitnentary to that
gentleman. Mr. Hamilton has been a
publieschool teacher for nowclose upon
35 years, and has had in addition bus-
iness experience which,aided by habits
of exactness and thoroughness, render
him an ideal man for the position. Mr
Hamilton is an Irishman. He was
born in Armagh county in 1316. his
father being the late James Hamilton.
The late James Hamilton and family
removed to Canada in 1849, the young
George coming with them..

A SERIOUS REVERSE.

Accra, Gold Coast, June 13. - De-
tails have been received here of an-
other serious reverse to the relief col-
umn. under Col. Carter and MaJor
Wilkinson, a day's march north of
Prahsu. There were heavy casual-
ties. The latest rumors report a
further disaster to a detachment on
the north bank of the Pralisu, which
is now flooded, and where the Ashen -
tees were found strongly entrenched.
Captain Wilcock's advance has been
delayed by rains, which have destroy-
ed the bridges on the Frahm road.
The continued absence of news from
Coomassie tends to confirm the pessi-
mistic views as to the safety of the
Governor and his staff. The coast
towns are apprehensive of their own
safety.
The British gunboat Magpie, sta-
tioned at Accra, is the sole protection
for the coast.
Owing to the difficulty encountered
in procuring carriers, the enforcement
of a labor ordinance is threatened,
but such a step is considered unavail-
able, in view of the present temper
of the inbe.bntabts and the unprotect-
ed condition of the colony. The gen-
eral opinion is that the present force
is inadequate to cope with the situa-
tion. and the local Government ap-
parently fails to recognize its grav-
ity.
