The Sentinel -Review tells this strange tory There is now in Woodstock gaol n a charge of vagrancy an old woman, ho, early in the century, was born with righter prospects than -most of those now holding good positions in society. She was, as the phrase goes in EnglancV :Of gentle birth. She was bright, beauti- ful, and well educated, with family and locial connections that seemed to ensure ,for her a bright, if not a brilliant future. She is, we are credibly informed, a rela- ,tive of the great Dr. Guthrie, and was, s a young lady, on terms of more than. riendship with a man who far more than generation has been one of the greatest rif living statesmen, and whose name is daily on the lips of the world. Letters from him to her were, we are assured,,in existence a few years also, in which he expressed the feelings el ardent l youth at the shrine of beauty. What n strange world it is in which two lives once so chilies ready for operation and had steam , near together should have run so widely [ up, with the intention of starting as 1 apart. Honor and fame followed one; soon as the machinery was properly ad- , while misfortune and at last poverty justed. An inquisitive fool of a boy who was working about the place; thought he would like to see how the engine would -run and turned on steam while the men Were all upstairs. The engine started, but the adjustments not having been made, the crank burst at the third or fourth revolution, and when the piston dropped against the bed it tore things up generally and fin- ally doubled up itself. The boy fled to the country and was not heard of for several days. The smash cost Mr. Dor- man about $75 beside the bother and delay. Deaths. THOMPSON.—In Seaforth, on the 17th inst.

Since that she eked out an existence by the help of charity. She is now in gaol as a vagrant; there being no poor house to which to send her. Her life is a strange story, in which there are many sermons. Heart Disease and Hurry. Almost every day we hear of persons dying of "heart disease ;" ii i nost cases we might as well say they died for want of breath." That people may have —Some young menhired a team at' heart disease, as well as lung disease or Hewer & Wherlick's livery in G-uelph,difficulty of any other Organ, is true, but tirc other day to drive to Elora. The many castes of heart disease sEould be weather was excessively hot. On reach- attributed to most wanton improprieties ing Mora they took one of the horses off which overtax the lungs and heart and the carriage, hitched it to a single buggy , the whole machlaery.

He drove the animal all way station at 'Philadelphia the other over Elora, and then to Fergus and day a young man fell in the passage back. When the horse arrived in Gwelph it was hardly able to stand up, and since that time its hind legs have, been almost powerless. Mr. Hewer, thinks the horse has been ruined. Apart iron the loss sustained by the firm such cruelty to an animal deserves the strong - eat reprobation. —Among the forthcoming education- al works which have been fortunate to receive authorization for the use of schools from the Hon.

Y., July 19.—There was a stand off in the choese market until late in the day ; finally prices were advanced to meet the demands of the salesmen, and the ruling price was 9c, about lc above last week's price. Trans- actions were 60 lots at 91e, 20 lots at 9ec, 4 lots at 91,e, 42 lots at 91c, 4 lots at 9ic, 9 lots on pri- vate terms, 7 lots on commission; total, 9,985 boxes. Dairies—There were sales- of 980 boxes dairy cheese at The to 9c, bulk at 8c; butter, 18 packages dairy sold at 18e to 19e; also 22 pack- ages creamery at 19c. MONTREAL, Juy 19.—As far as this market is concerned in cheese, there is no boom and no business, as dealers have been unsettled by the ' rise in the West and don't know what to ask, and shippers have no orders and don't know what to offer. In butter, the local trade is a very small one at present. ' The quototions are as follows, Creamery, 20c to 20c; Townships, 15e to 17c; Morrisburg, 140 to 16c; Brockville, 13c to 14c; Western, 13c to 14c.

The doc- tor sunimoned pronaiinced the case heart disease, A gentleman standing near said, "If you had seen him run- ning, faster than our street -car came, from Eighth street, to catch his train, you would have said he died from hur- rying." There was probably no disease of the heart or any other organ, but an overtaxing pf all the organs. By this foolish desire to catch a train or reach some point a little so6ner than we ean do it safely, some of us are jeopardizing our -health and perhaps our lives.
