Albert E. Bubberd, a fourteen year old
boy, of Orangeville, went to shoot a cat,

left hand was so badly shattered that it
had to be amputated. •

While Angus Thompson, of Erin, was
catching a pig, a boar made a dash at
him as he was stooping, and striking hint
in the face made a bad gash with its tuake.
Mr. Thompson was knocked insensible,
and it wes feared that ho would bleed to
death. One eyeball was somewhat dis-
placed. One of the boar's tusks entered
et the corner of Ivlr. Thompson's eye and
the other below his jaw, and the flesh
was stripped clean off that side of his
face. A portion of the ear was also torn
off. The injured man is over 60 years of
age and his recovery is considered doubt-
ful.

Grip is now so well known as to require
very little of either description or praise.
It is the

The late improvements are universally
admired. The journal is enlarged to 16

both the engravings and the letter -press
a beautiful appearance. And, notwith-
