On Wednesday Tright, some uiknown per- sou, while walking paattheRoyelstore Wing' harm -slipped and fell through one of the large pence of glass. Jades Tough, of the Bronson line, Stanly, _ , sold his farm of 110 acres to Mr, John Reath, for the sum of $4000. There are good build. ings'au the prethises. Mr. Alex. Ross, of Tnekeremith, recently sold the eonth half of lot 20,' concession 1, Stanley, to, Mr. John McQueen, for the hand. aome eum of $,600. Mr, D. D. %VIleen of Soafortb,haa purchased an old eatablished egg business in Fergus, and Mr. J. K. Richardson and Mr. Wm. MoNabgo there to take charge of it. A Mr. Robert Watson has sold his property on the Parr Line, near Varna, to Mrs. H.amil• ton, of Kinloss, for $2,400. There are ten acres with good hquse, barn, and all conveni- ences. One day last Week W. R. Kinsman of Wing - ham, and Jas. Leaves of East Wawanoah, cut on the farm of Thos. Leaver, 12th con. West Wawanosh,2 cords of 4'ft. wood in 50 minutes It -took live trees to make the two cords. Mr. John Daus has' sold his farm on the 8th concession of McKillop, to his neighbor, Mr. Irwin Johnston, for the sum of $3,300. A few hours after the sale was completed Mr. Duffus was offered $51 more by another neigh- bor. Shp farm contains 50 acres, A few months ago,; Edward Kershaw, the aeoond son of the Rev. E. Kershaw, of the Centralia circuit, succumbed to that terrible• diseaeet called censure ptiou. Some few years `` ' pravious to this 111r. Kershaw's wife and eldeat daughter passed away, and only a short time ago his eldest son was necessitated to come home fearing that he too would fall a victim to the same disease. On Tuesday forenoon, while Mr. George Blatchford, er., of the Thames Road, near Exeter, was in:the field at the rear of his barna, • - his attentiou was attracted by the howling of a hound, and, upon turning round, was some- what startled to notice a fine large deer glance by hint, closely followed by the hound. it was going in an easterly direction,' possibly having been chased from the swamps iu Hay township. Miss Jennie, daughter of MrsWin. White. of Stephen, has become the victim of a "slight mania. Iteis prosumede that some time ago she got a terrific scare from a largo black dog after night, wbich together with some fanciful scenes in her mid -night dreams,cansed a slight mental derangement. She refuses to eat or drink at times, and is at present in a very eritioal condition. Mr. John F. Dale, who resides on the old homestead farmat Alma,Uullett bas purchas- ed the Walker from on the 2nd concession of Hullett for $5,000. "It contains 100 acres, and ie . a very cheep place at this figure. The Messrs: Dale are among the largest land own - era in the couuty, Mr. C. Dale, sr., and his four sons now being the owners of 1,400 acres and'ailsituated in the townships ofullett and Tuokersreith, and they work it-allth hie selves. A former resident of How'ick writea,•'from Pelee Island, as, follows ;-Geo. Dunbar of tbier place, shot and wounded one Samuel Piper, for. needy of the townshipof Turuberry, The tragedy happened on the 14th. The bullet struck Piper near the Ieft eye. The Dr. pro- bed for the bullet to the depth;of nearly three inches but could not find it. It was at first thought young Piper would die but he is gett- ing a little better now and the wound is heal- ing up. Abusive lauguage brought on from family difficulties was the cause of the shoot- ing and it is said that both parties are con- siderably to blame, Dunbar was committed to jail to awaittrial on the 28th of March at the .Assizes. eft. le An outrage of a most dastardly character and which has hardly a parallel in the his- tory of Canadian crime, was committed in Quebec, on Tuesday evening. While the French portion of the Salvation Army were -at worship in the Jeffrey School Hall some person or persous ,placed a bomb within a broken pane, and the explosion which ensu- 4 - ed paused fearful havoc to the building, The report was heard .two blocks away, startlingpeople from their sleep, and giv- ing them tho impression of an earthquake. There were not a great many people in the hall at the time, the general meeting,which had been largely attended, having been dis- niissed'but a few minutes previously, and this being a prayer meeting for the mem- .. bers of the staff. The lights were extin- guished and the tables and chairs over- turned and several persous badly injured, but none were killed. That no deaths re- sulted from the explosion is attributable to the fact that the bomb expended most • of its force before passing through the win= dow. The police have a clue to the per- petrators, who will be severely punished if found. A Dublin despatch says :-Father Kell- . er, who was arrested at Yuughall yesterday, was driven to court on Monday in the Lord Mayor's carriage, receiving an ovation from the people in the streets. He refused to give any testimony as to his custody of tenants' moneys as trustee under the plan of campaign, and was committed to prison for contempt of court. The judge declar- ed that if the priest's: action in disobeying the orders of the court were permitted,the whole machinery of the bankruptcy law would be upset. The scene in the streets when Father Keller was being taken to co'nrt, is unparalleled in the history of Dublin. Vast crowds had collected, and when the priest appeared, riding in the Lord Mayor's carriage, cheer after cheer greeted him. The naso and excitement, both inside and outside the court room., were so great es to prevent the hearing of the case, and the judge threatened to clear the court unless silence was maintained. Finally order was restored and Father Keller took the oath. He refused totesti- fy on the,grotind that lid would disclose confiden%,:e reposed in him' -as - a priest. The judge said there was no legate' jnstifi-, cation for his refusal, and said the question had no reference to witness' spiritual capa-• city. Father Keller was then committed for contempt and was taken out of court and placed iu a cab in the custody of officers. The people immediately made a rush for the vehicle, removed the horses, and drag- ged it through the streets to Eilmainham jail, where the priest was locked up. i, MOE ad Comic 0.A.IRADS We have just received a large stock of these cards, suitable for business men, which we bought at such prices that we are able to furnish them at the closest figures.
