Mulcahy, Tom Murray and John Suth'erland, who is home from Detroit on a visit, had a na row escape from drowning at Bayfield on un - day. They were out boating, and, des ite the very rough water, essayed to go otte in the lake, and when just outside the piers, a big wave swamped their boat,,and left them struggling in the water. All 1 but P. Mul- cahy could swim, and they 'made for the shore,which they reached in every fatigued condition. Fortunately Mr. Mulcahy kept his wits about him and clung to the boat, and although he went down twice, managed to get close enough to the others so that they could pull him onto land. They all had a narrow escape, and may be thankful that they came out of such a foolhardy trip so wifely. , A' SEVERE HAIL STORM. ---,About five o'clock Wednesday morning Beaforth and immediate vicinity was visited by a heavy rain storm, accompanied by hail. The atorm travelled to the north -bast, but, as fir as we have learned, spent most of its fury on the town, as there w apparently ai no damage done to the crops in the country. In town hail stones two inehes in diameter came down in buckets full and,quits late in the morning heaps of it could he found ly- ing in shaded corners. It wrought havoc with the windows,. In the, Methodist church, the stained glass windows in the frone were almost completely demoliehed, while the windows in the south side of the Cetholic church had hardly a whole pane left. The Queen's hotel also,suffereel severe- IY,i while many private linen had glass b oken. Mr. -Robert Turnbull, who has re - id ed here for forty years, says it was the werst storm of the kind that has ever visit- ed this part. A NEWSPAPER CURIOSITY., —Mr. Harry Beam, of Port Huron, Michigan, formerly of Seaforth, has kindly sent na a copy of the "Enterprise," the first issue of the first English paper publiehed in Santiago, Cuba. It is printed and edited entirely by printers belonging to Company F., 33rd Michigan Volunteer Infantry, all of whom belong to Port Haron. We notice by a paragraph that the night work done on the paper was done by the aid of tallbw candles, coal oil, gas or electric light not being availab e. It is ,aneat sheet, and is brimful of loca news, and when American capital and Yan ee en. lt terprise et fairly settled down to every day bus en among tbe Cubans, ill, no doubt, do a flourishing business. any a mighty enterprise has resulted from mueh more insignificant beginning. ei ACCIDENT. --M re . John Scott, o Rex- bore,met with a very painful accident on Moeday evening last. She was milking a cove when the animal, n some way, got frightened, and kicking,knocked her off the steel on which she was sitting and then trampled on ' her. For unately Mr. Scott wan near by, and came t her assistance, or she might isave been killed, as she was un- able to help herself or get away from the terrified animal. Ste was taken to the house and medical aid promptly secured, when it was found that er ankle was dis- located and her leg brok n a little above the ankle joint. The injurri a are serious and very painful, and she wi 1 likele be laid up for a long time. The a cident is all the more distressing, as it is only about a year since Mr. Scott had a si ilar accident, and has not yet fully recoverd from the , effects • DRESSED POULTRY and good- fresh butter A few more genuine b rgains in gasoline and coal oil stoves, also ovens • must be sold to make room for other goods.

Nearly every person went away, at least it seemed, judging by the street; that the town was almost deserted. The band excursion to Goderich was the big drawing card for the day, about seven hundred peo- ple taking advantage of the cheap rates. They returned about nine o'clock in the evening, and every person seemed satisfied that they hid spent a most enjoyable day. The band treasury will be the richer by a neat sum as a result of their enterprise. The Foresters' excursion from Clinton to Brant- ford attracted a number, about fifty tiekets being sold for that point from this station. The favorite resort, Bayfield, was nal for- gotten either, as a number drove there to enjoy the fresh lake breezes. A few went to other points, and, altogether, the day proved one of pleasure and recreation. • MARRIED AT BRAMPTON.—The Toronto Star of Wednesday gives the following ac- count of the marriage of Dr. J.

As it neared even o'clock, high chief purveyor of cerem nies, G. B. Scott, came forth from his iding red sweater, natty white trousere, and five cent proportions. That the high chief purveyor duly appreciated the impor twee= of his office was plainly evident fro the heightened color which adorned his anly countenance. At the band room he sailed forth the musicians and they march d to the Royal hotel earner. Here they were joined by the opposing beavers and as they marched to the recreation gro nds, many were the admiring remarks o the manly forms of the one team and o the athleeic appearanei of the other.
