Camila CALL,—Last Saturday after-
noon while working in the gravel pit
on the Robt, McDonald farm, 9th con.
a cave-in occurred by which Roy
Onnningg•hatn, had a close call for his
life. His father was also working
in
the same place and was caught too
but was able to clear himself by his
hands and rushed to his eon's rescue,
The latter was injured in the back,
right arm and right leg but will soon
be able to get about as usual his many
friends hope. It was almost a miracle
he was not killed on the spot.
LIGHTNING KILLED IT.—This week,
Wm. Armstrong, 9th con., missed one
of his fine Tamworth brood sows but
thought it was likely in the bush.
Tuesday morning when he went to
one of the back fields to plow he found
it dead by the fence. Ee thinks it
was killed by lightning as the fence
bore evidence of the electric contact.
One splinter from an upright rail was
hauled 20 feet. The animal would
weigh about 300 pounds and was
worth at least $40. Mr. Armstrong
will no doubt receive a share of the
loss from the Howick Mutual,
