reached, when 3.1r. Wneriritt, complained
of' feeling ill. He almost fainted,- but
there 'vas no way of stopping the wheel.
The ear was half full of people, prinei
pally women. The man became catzed
a Ith excitement, and began to Flee ex-
citediy up and down the car, driving the
women, whom he had . no intention of
hurting, before him like seared sheep.
: He jumped up on the sides of the ear
repeatedly and was so powerful in his
paroxysms that he actually bent the iron
bars. The attendant—one gees around
with every car—grappled with hint, and,
assisted by two or three other men, at-
tempted to hold him, but their strength
proved inadequate, for he threw them
off easily and made for the door, which
fortunately was locked. He Shook it
violently, but .only succeeded in breaking
some of the glass. e -
Mr. Wilerritt continued- unmanageable
until the car had almost reached. the
landing, then he became calmer, aed
breaking down completely, laughed and
seb'std convulsively.
• The wheel always makes two revolu-
tions before the occupants of any car are
allowed to get out. The attendant
thought that as the car went by inc
landing he would opeu the door quickly
and shove Mr. Wherritt out, but the mo-
tion was too rapid, and the passengers
prepared for another scene and struggle.
Some of them said afterward that Mr.
Wherritt's terror was appalling when eti
realized that he was going up again. He
implored that.the car . be stopped, and
then begged that they throw lum down
and hold him. There was some hesita-
tion in doing this, as the men in the car
had had experience of his strength dur-
ing the first trip. The three men grap-
pled him, however, and strained every
nerve before there was any occasion for
force, while Women huddledin a corner
and looked at him. - -
The tops of the houses of Midway had
hardly been skirted before ho began to
try to tear himself loose and dash
against the bars. The men who were
holding him, having exhausted them-
selves when he was peaceful dtd not
know now what to do. Just at this
time a woman who would not give her

Modesty to the winds for the nonce, she
unbuckled her skirt at -the back,- stepped
out of it, and threw it over the crazy

News Notes.
—The cargo of the " Warrimoo," the last
ship of the Canadian Australian lines sail-
ing from Vancouver, was made up as fol-
lows :-1,500 barrels of lime, 500 bundles of
shingles, 5,000 feet of lumber, 100 barrels of
salmon and 50 barrels of beer for Honolulu.
For Australia, 1,000 oases of salmon, 6 oars
of agricultural implements, 3,600 bundles of
lathe 5,000 bundles of pickets, and 300
barrels of salmon.
—Messrs. H. Walker, Sons & Com-
pany, of Walkerville, harvested ninety-
six acres of tobacco this season on their
lands in the county of Essex. The yield
was 85 tons, and it has all been sold. The
Joliet Canadian Tobacco Company again
purchased the larger portion of this year's
crop, we believe, at 12 cents per pound.
The toba000 has been stored in the ware-
houses for curing, and will be shipped
sometime in January or February. Ninety-
five acres of land produced 85 tons of to-
bacco, or 170,000 pounds whieh at 12 cents
per pound makes $20,40d.
—A careful estimate places the amount of
money withdrawn from Woodstock banks
by World'. Fair visitors it ;40,000, and
still the drain goes on.
—Mr. Joseph Shantz, of Haysville'let
the water out of his dam the other day.
When the water was nearly all out the men
and boys, wading through the mud, drove
them together; in this manner they got
about 15 bushel. of good fish, putting back
three bushel. Of medium sized ones—the
smaller ones could get through.

My Neighbor.
My neighbor was a 11idder, an' she hod a run down
farm,
An' her cows an' pigs, an' ohiokens, done a mighty
lot e' harm
To my fields adjinin''an I stood In quite a while,
Till I wouldn't be imposed On in no Bich khad o'
So I losotkyeled, my very maddest es I walked up to her
door,
Till she looked up at me emilin' while a-washin' up
the floor,
An' her cheeks was rei es roses an' her hair es black
es night •,
I forget to scold an' sass her fer she seemed eo sweet
- an' bright.
But my hand was to the plow now, an' it wouldn't
never do
To forgit them deperdatioes jos' by lookin' at her
ehoe,
So I gathered up my anger an' I said, Now, Mrs.
my
neBrtonwn
'Put out her eyes' light and the lashee
they fell down.
But I ain't no man for foolin', an' I went right on to
say
How her pigs et all my melons an' her cows et tons
of hay ;
How her chickens se1retched my corn out, an' I
wouldn't hey it so,
Gittin' harder all the time, like a adman will, you
know.
Then the widder, she looked up, with a tear drop on
An' a shoemr acthheienk
'in her throat that wouldn't let her
speak.
But she sobbed an'. cried out in a kind o' teary
That sth°enhea, el no one to help her, an' was poor an'
all alone. •
An' my hand was off the plow then, and a-reachini
out for hern,
I hed learnt a suddent lesson that I never thought
I'd learn.
Well, my scoldins. was a failure, seen' what I thought
to do,
For her pigs an' cows are all here, an' the widder's
with 'eni, too.

SUMMER IS PAST,
Mr. Jones Has a Spell.,
"Maria," said Mr. Jones, looking up
from a letter be alas writing, " how do you
spell calamity ?"
"You ought to know," answered Mrs.
Jones : " what are you oing with it, any-
way ?"
-‘ I'm writing to Uncle Hiram about his
bad luck with his eheep, and that's as good
a word to spring en him as any other. Look
in the dictionary and see if it is spelled with
one m or two."
" Maybe it isn't in the dictionary," sug-
gested Mrs. Jones, as she reached for the
volume; "you know there are 5,000 new
words that ain't in it."
" Well, I reckon there's as ,many there as
we will want te teekle in bur life time.
I wish you'd go ahead and find the word
calamity.
" Row does it begin—with a vot'vel or a
syllable ?" asked Mrs. Jones, who is as weak
In her spelling as Jones is in his.
"18 begins with a k, of course—K•a-l-a-
m-i-t-t-y—I am mire of the two t's, but I've
kind of stuck on the m's. Uncle Hiram is
away up in spelling, and I'd hate awfully to
be wrong."
"1 can't find any such word, and I don't
believe it's' in the dictionary."
"Look under the k's. You'll find it
among the loa-Ps."
Mrs. Jones looked and hunted, then she
said, triumphantly :
"I told you so. There isn't such a word
here. Take some other word that means
the same thing."
"But I can't think of one."
"I can, How would catastrophe do ?"
" But this isn't anything about eats ; it's
concerning sheep."
" I'll look it up. Is it spelled with a o
or a k, Jeptha ?"
"Whoever heard of cat being spelled
with a)li ? Maria, I'm ashamed of your ig-
norance, I really am."
But kitten is lapelled with a k, and it's
alittle cat. Why, Jeptha, here's calamity
among the o's,"
" Give it to me," roared Jeptha. "1
always told you this book was full of mis-
takes.Hum ! It's there, and I s'pose it's
the new-fangled way. I've spelled it with a
k all my life and I ain't going to be made
over now, sheep or no sheep ;" and he tore'
Uncle Hiram's letter into fragments, while
Maria laughed softly in her sleeve. ,
—Mr. Michael Ryan, of Tralee, has sold
his farm of 100 acres to Mr. James O'Grady,
for the sum of $3,750.
