A, JULY ,WEDDING.
• ..• „ „
,Mr. Robt„ Clad,. son .of. Mr, and
MM. John Oluff'of the Briyfield Line,
was .married in Windsor on Wednes-
day of last week to Miss alinnie
O'Neil of that city. After the cere-
mony Mr. and Mrs. ChM' 'took a
short honeymoon trip to Detroit,
Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Toronto.
They have now taken up their resi-
dence on the Bayfield Line and the
many friends offer congratulations
and good wishes.
A BAD ACCIDENT.
Mr. WM. Forrester, proprietor _of
the Mitchell flax mills, met with a
serious accident theother day, He'
had gone out to one of his farms and
on his return was leading a young
horse behind the buggy. The animal
reared and jerked Mr. Forrester from.
the rig, breaking his thigh. As Mr.
Forrester had but just recovered
from a severe illness this accident
was all the more unfortunate. The
injured mao. is a brother of Mr. D.
A. Forrester of town.
LEAVING TOWN.
Mr, Joel McLeod, who has been
superintendent of the Jackson Com-
panyfor the past six years, leaves
on Tuesday for Guelph to asaume the
position o1 manager of the Thornton -
Dundas store in that city. As Mr.
McLeod has had considerable exper-
ience in that line of besiness lie is
well fitted to take such a position.
The salary attached, it is understood,
is a very handsome one and Mr, Mc-
LeoPs friends, while regretting his
sbmoval from town, wish him suc-
cess in his new sphere:
LOST A HORSE.
Mr. R. Morrison while in town on
Saturday • left his horse staading in
front of Wasmann's blacksmith shop
while he went inside. Just at that
minute Maalurray's autocome down
the hill and the animal taking fright
turned and ran across the road op-
posite the mill, where he fell on the
cement crossing breaking his leg and
had to be shot later. The buggy
was also somewhat damaged. The
horse in question, Old Archie, was no
longer ming but was a good, strong
beast and full of spirit, and the loss
to Mr. Morrison is not by any means
a light one.
TRANSIL'NT VISITORS,
A company of nomads calmed north
of town over Sunday and several cit-
izens took occasion to visit the camp
which was said to be an interesting
one. 'rimy were confessedly horse -
traders but were in some respects a
bit superior to the ordinary gipsy.
They have been about a year in Can-
aria, previously having lived in the
United States, One wagon which
they had is said to have been a
most elaborate aftair and was so
constructed as to- be a fairly coin-
lortable dwelling -place while travel-
ling from point. to point. Tliey were
said also to have had a number of
valuable personal articles in their
Possession.' It is to be hoped that
they were unable to do numb: business
in the neighborhood as such charac-
ters usually get very much the best of
the bargain,
YOUNG MOTHER PASSES.
There departed this life on Thurs-
day last at the early age of thirty-
four years,' Nellie M. Jervis, wife • of
Mr. D. J. Currie of Goderich. The
deceased was the youngest daughter
of Mr. and 1VIrs. ChasJervis of Clin-
ton. Her girlhood days were spent
on the Cut Line, Goderich township,
and she was married to her now ber-
eaved, husband eleven ycara ago. In
her tuftieniely passing was shown the
truth of the old saying, "Death loves
a shining mark," for she was beloved
by all who knew her for her cheerful
,and happy disposition- as well as for
lier sterling worth and practical
Christian life. She was a.Methodist,
being a, membea- of North street
Church, and will be greatly missed in
church circles. 13'ut she will be most
sorely missed in the stricken home,
where besides her husband, •three
little children are left without
mother's care, the youngest being .a
tender babe only three weeks old.
During her illness, which was attend-
ed with much suffering, she was ever
thoughtful of others. Before the end
came she rallied and showed her
care for them, 'by giving her little on-
es into the keeping of their grand-
mother, 1Virs. Jas, Currie,- and left a
kindly message for each one of . the
sorrowing relatives gathered about
her.
The ftineral tacit plase on Sunday
afternoon to Maitland cemeters, the
services being conducted by the Rev.
Mr. Hager. The -pallbearerts were all
cousins of the deceased. The large
attendance at the funeral and
the many beautiful Resat offer-
ings sent was evidence of the
high esteem M which Mrs. Currie was
held. One sister, IVIrs. W. II. Cole or
town, and three brothers, Mr. °Ryer
Jervis of town Mr Edwin Jervis of
Weyburn, Sask., and Mr. Albert Jet- E

Standards in the Americari capital, a
part of his work being the testing of
the magnetic qualities associated
With the mechanical properties of
steel, endeavoring to come to an ac-
curate knowledge so ,that steel may
be made of a uniform quality, thus
doing awdy almost entirely with
guess work in the using of this mat-
erial and diminishiag to a very great
extent railway accidents due to brok-
en rails. "Fully half of the railway
wrenks are due to broken rails, "re-
marked Dr. I3urrows, "and that does
not take into account at all those
caused ,by broken parts. There no
way of being sure that a rail 'is a
good rail without, breaking it and the
