A sad accident 000urred about throe miles outside of Gaspe, Clue., on Tuesday. Two young noon named Ascah started out caribou hunting in the morning, and when about two miles in the Woods, one feeling thirsty, attempted to break the ice, which covered a small stream, with the butt of his goo, which discharged it, sending the bullet through his nock, pass. hin'and out through t ingunder Else o h he bak of the head.

A novel case was disposed of in the Po- lice Court at Belleville on Thursday morning last. A baby was the cause of contention. A Mrs. Keller had oared for a Clapper baby and was to receive a cer- tain monetary consideration for her ser. vice. Mrs. Clapper wanted the child, but was unwilling to pay the chargee, $3. Mrs. Keller refused• to surrender the child until the money was paid, which canoed Mrs. Clapper to bringaotion to re- cover tho infant. The magistrate order - 04 the child to be surrendered til its mother upon tho payment of the amount claimed. Tho introduction of the Tomes sys- tem into the No•thwost hos been accom- panied with a complete blockade of regis- tration in the Calgary office. To begin with new Bets of books are required to be open, new forms introduced, and those, so far, have not arrived from Ottawa. But even if they were here they could not be need until another difficulty is got over. The new Act provides that the registrars appointed con only take office after an Order in Council to that effect has been issued, and there is, it appears, no provision made for the old registrars to bontinuo under the now Act after its proclamation. The • nooeasary Order in Council has not boon passed, and business at the office here is at a complete stand- still. Since Mr. McLean went oast Mr. Barris, ,of the land office, has been acting as registrar hero, and we understand he tolographed to the Minister of justice asking whatwas to be done. Wo learn that the Interior Minister replied that Mr. Ilarris should take the oath of office and prowled until further arrangements were made. The only officer empowered to administer the oath here is Judge Rouleau, and he deolines to de so, hold- ing that it would be illegal to administer the oath before the Order in Council had been passed. Therefore at present no registration can take place, but we learn that Mr. Harris is receiving applications in order to ensure priority, but he cannot issue certificates, Thu whole thing shows that it piece of the wildest blund- ering hoe taken place at Ottawa. -Cal- gary Tribune. The 13t. Clair River Tunnel is progress. ing favorably at Port Huron. Tho test shaft on the American Bide has been completed at a depth of 98 feet. The shaft is 0 by 14 feet in the clear. The cutting was somewhat difficult, being stony, bet the firmness of the walls is what was desired, and which exports ' 0iafined would not be found, at they ex- pected that quicksands and water pockets would bo struck at a depth of 00 or 70 feet, The work Mina far has been slow, bet hos been carried on without any ser - lout mishap. The contractor is now getting ready to begin work on the lateral twat shaft to bo bored under the river. Here is whore it is again predicted that salons trouble in rho way of boulders, quioksauds, gas and bottomless water pockoto will bo mot with ; but the con - treater is sanguine that ha will not as- rpetu ecu any insurmountable obstacle in ho progress of rho tunnelling. The up- right, shaft was sunk by it small fordo of sten, a steam angina bang used to hoist the nutting to the surface, When the horizontal ,,haft bee boon started a large foreo of inion will bo employed 'to push the work so rspilly as possible. Illtunin- ation will be supplied by 01001, ioity or by t)}o use of rognler mining lamps. It is too oarly yet to give an extended article on the progress of the 81)011010, as so far nothing but preliminary work hoc boon attempted. Itis oven impossible to state whether the tunnel will' bo built, as all the work to be done thio winter anil in the early spring will be experimental. But everything points t0 the feasibility, of Il o undertaking. Executors' Notice.
