The one sure oure is fragrant healing Catarthozone which is sent by the air vou breathe direct to the root of the troUble, Mr. T. Y. Mao - Vicar of Yarmouth, suffered for years from catarrh and says, "In my long ex- perience with this loathsome disease I never used any remedy relieved and cored so promptly as Catarrhozone. When my nostrils were so stuffed up that 1 couldn't breathe I found a few inhalations of Catarrhozone was suffici- ent to clear away the mucous. I am perfectly cured by Catarrhozone and free from the disease enqrely." Use only Catarrhozone. Complete outfit $1.00; trial size 250.

Mr. James Hood of this village met with a terrible accident on Wednes- day afternoon, in Walter Wilson's bush on the 14th concession of West Wawanosh, a few miles south of Lucknow. .11e was drawing out small logs with a horse and was evidently leading the animal when the stick of timber became fast. The sudden stop appears to have thrown the animal _from its feet, and in falling it struck against Mr. Hoodbrushing him under- neath ite body down into the deep snow. He was working in the bush alone at the time, and: just how the • accident occurred will never be known but when he was found some time after the accident by Isaac Mormon, who went to the bush for a load of wood, the horse was still lying help- lessly on its back in the snow with the lifeless body of Mr. Hood crushed beneath it. The body was not dis- figured and it is supposed that death was caused by suffocation. It is one of the saddest accidents that has ever occurred in the section and the deep- est sympathy is extended to his sister and brother in their sad and sudden bereavement. Mr. Hood had resided in Lucknow nearly all his life and was a hardworking industrious 'young man, and his sad and untimely death has cast a gloom of sorrow over the whole community.—[Sentinel. • Subscriptions received - for all Papers and Maga- zines.
