The Brantford Expositor says that
"probably a more dismal. comfortless

that of Harrisburg. One dim Lamp

platform is evidently counted upon
being lighted by halting trains. Har-
risburg.is a point where much wait•
ing is necessary, and the station
should be made comfortable."

of the young sufferer. After watch-
ing the prostrate body for several
hours, signs of animation were via -
able, and itwas at once ascertained
that sale had been only 10 a comatose

Anderson, the painter who was
run oyer and frilled by a G. T. R. en-
gine at Toronto on Saturday last,
had a standing joke that he had Been
his own funeral. This erose from an
extraordinary event which happened
at the tune of the Fenian raid in '66.
Deceased was at that time a member
of the Queen's Own, and went to the
front with them. Becoming detach-
ed from hie regiment in some way
while on service, he found his way
into Hamilton jail, his whereabouts
beiug unknown to the regiment. In
the meantime the body of a fallen
soldier, thought to be that of Ander-
son, was brought to Toronto and tak-
en in charge by Anderson's relatives.
A wake was held at the residence of
an aunt of Anderson, and a military
funeral in due form took place. Some
time after the funeral Anderson turn-
ed up in 'Toronto, and created a great
sensation, as it was firmly believed
that he was the man who had been
buried. It was afterwards disoover-
ed that the body which had been
buried was that of a man named
Smith.

Several townships at the head of
the lake have been surveyed, and.,are
open for free entry under the Ontario
laws. The soil is described as of
excellent quality, running from a
lightsandy to a heavy clay loam,
with intervals of heavy bottoms suit-
able for hay meadows, Good water
is abundant, building material is
cheap, railway communication is es•
tablished, and good roads exist.
Around Murillo station some hun-
dred settlers have established them
selves, mostly from Western Ontario

deer are common, and, in season,
the woods abound with wild fi uta

Drops do well, and the nearness of
towns and the demands of the mining
region afford it ready market for all
the produce the farmers can raise,
From the Sportsman : A Sydney
(N, S. W.) report says :—Hanlan
has now issued a challenge by cable
to row anyone in She world if the
race is rowed in America. He is
known so well In these colonies as a
"bag of wind" that no notice would
bo taken thereof. When Hanlan was
in Australia he wastreated to the
best of everything. A public recap.
tion was given him on his arrival,
and the highest personages is the
land invited him to their houses and
showed him hospitality. He lived on
the best, root free, and nothing was
too good for him, and had he bean
more careful as to his living and ab•
stained from late hours, it is my op-
inion he might still have been cham-
pion of lbs world. I had consider-
able facilities for watching his train-
ing, and, however, fit he may have
seemed, yet I hold it to bo an impos.
siblity for a man baviug accustomed
himself to loose and easy living to
pail himself up suddenly and go in
for arduous physical exertion, and
then to be in as fit a condition an his t
opponent who has been living quietly
and working hard all the time. His
powers of endurance must necessarily
be greater, and the other must suc-
cumb in a hard struggle. Hanlan's
tactics have been to "burst" his ad-
versary from the jump, and in his
race with Beach he pursued this
game, but found after a mite ho had
rowed himself out. Beach, being, a
"sticker," had hung on to' him, and
was fresh as a daisy, free to go, ahead
and win as he pleased ; and I have
no hesitation in saying that Hanlan']
behavior told on him then, and bbfe
was the real cause of his defeat.
Whether he will ever regain bis lost
position is problematical ; a great
dual depsnds upon himself anct his
future modes of living. Even then
young soullers are rising up every
day, some of whom, no d oubt, in,
their turn may family earn the cham-
pion belt.
