A Savage Attack:
The London Free Press of Tues-
day last hasthe following : "A ter,
rible affray occurred at Carling's
Brewery- on Friday evening, which
nifty ,possibly result in the dearth of
the victim. The foreman Mr. Mi-
chael Walsh, ordeied one of the
hands, a young man named Thomas
Seals, to roll some barrels, when
the latter, being somewhat •intoxi-
cated and wild with rage, seized a
broadaxe, belonging to one of the
coopers' and made a ferocious
attack on hint, - At first he dealt
him a blow on the back,, and
inflicted a frightful cut thereon,
froill
which the Mood issued in a
copious stream.. He again raised
the axe, and exclaiming, I'll kill
ycu,.you I" aimed second blow
at hip, which Mr. Walsh, in tt g-
ing to wand off, received upon his
left wrist; this was also a ._severe
wound, the hand being nearly sever-
ed. At this point the attention of
the ether men was attracted, And
rushing u:nan the would-be murder-
er they knocked him down, wiench-
ed the axe from and bound him,
after a desperate struggle, hand and
-'Y ba
foot. The wounded man was then
taken home, and medical attend-
ance summoned. Subsequently the
ruffian, having grown more sub-
missive, was unoound, when, finding
• his limbs free, he took to 'flight..
The medical gentlemen in attend-
ance upon the -unfortunate victim,
are of the opinion that the wounds
are of the most serious nature, and
likely to produce lockjaw, from
-which it would be impossible almost
for him to survive."

The following is the estimated
wool product of the various coun-
tries in the world : Great Britain,
260,000,000 lbs. ; Germany, 200,-

special engine passed westward, and the
engineer noticing the obstruction, 're-
moved
re-moied it witheut any accident occurring.
Had the passenger train come along as
expected, the .loss of life and property
would doubtless. have been very serious,
as the obstructions were on a. down grade
at a most dangerous curve, and there
would have been no possibility of stop-
ping the train in time to prevent the ac-
cident. Suspicious circumstances led to
the arrest of rather a hard -looking case
named James Darr, who was tried be-
fore his Worship the Mayor, and com-
mitted to gaol at Cobourg, to await his
trial at the assizes.
