CUNNINGHAM'S CLOSE CALL.— Thursday evening as the day's work was nearly done at chopping in eamuel Walker's bush John Cunningham. ot town was struck on the head by a falling limb that nearly put a conclusion to his earthly career. One tree lodged again- st another and the result was the in- ability to approximate exactly where they would fall. The limb fell a distan ce of 24 feet and the miracle is Mr. Cun- ningham was not killed instantly. The blow stunned him and he is stili suffer- ing somewhat from the effects. Fortunately other workmen were close at band and the injured man was promptly looked after, We hope he will soon be as well as he ever was. l'HE QUILL.

AN EXPLOSION, -Last -Saturday morn- ing, immediately after breakfast, a Koot-. ney steel range with waterfront and at- taching pipes to the bath room upstairs. blew up in the kitchen of the home of the editor of THE PoaT, There was a terrible noise like the firing of a cannon and quick as a flash the room was filled with flying missies of iron and steel, fire, ashes, &c., the force of the explos- ion blowing out two windows and leav- ing the range a mass of scrap iron. Mr. Kerr and his sister-in-law, Miss Kay, of Winnipeg, were instantly thrown prostrate to the floor, the former re- ceiving a damaged limb and foot with a hole rent in his clothing where a flying piece of metal bored into his back. Miss Kay was struck on the bead and a gash of an inch or so cut. There was no time to think of wounds or bruises however as fires were starting in a score of places on the linoleum, carpet, table cloth, cushions, &c. Water was con veciently nearand the danger of a con. flagration was soou set aside and the floor was immediately converted into a miniature skating rink with lack F'rost's assistance through the broken windows. Mrs. Kerr had been on the sick list with lumbago and was in' her bedroom up stairs and consequently escaped uu hurt and has not had lumbago since The cause of the explosion was a frozen pipe between the ceiling and upstairs. floor, Flying pieces of the stove cut portions of the fancy top off the cabinet organ while others of lower range pounded the front and 'severed the pedal strap of the ssme instrument. Stove lids, dishes and stove pipe.) visited the ceiling with unusual celerity. leaving their mark, and pans on the pantry wall came tumbling clown. Portions of the range were found at the front door of the house in the hall, while. ashes and soot covered everything. It was our first experience of the kind and sincerely hope it will be the last. Since Saturday morning we have received many words of advice as to what should he done in such cases but the brevity of the time at our disposal prohibited the application, It would be all right if the program could be laid out half a day before tbe performance but in our case the whole thing was so con- spicuously impromptu and over about as quick as greased lightning that we failed to observe the majority of the precautions and were overjoyed to dis- cover that we were still on this mundane sphere not seriously damaged.

Saturday's London Advertiser says :— The appointnteut of a non-resident to the pustmastership of London is n gen- eral surprise, and it is not an agreeable one to the Liberals of London. The. office is a local one, and has been hillier. 16 treated as such by the present Gov- ernment overnment The reason for departing trona this practice is not apparent, and the Liberals of London, whose repre- sentations have been ignored, are en- titled ro au explanation. The claims of several citizens, fully competent for the position, were strongly urged at Ottawa by their friends. If the Government chose an outsider because ot the drffi. Cutty of discriminating between local applicants, it has merely trade more trouble for itself. If a London Alan had been appointed, some of the rival cau- didates and their backera might have been sore for a time ; now all the active. Liberals of London are sere. They feel that in the opinion ot the Government they are a negligible quantity. The cabinet ministers who are responsible in the present ease should be given to understand that London is too impel, tent to he treated in this manner.
