A Good Plan.
The Fergus News Record says :--
"The necessity for running a wire in-
to the damp earth at every five or six
posts in building wire fences is evi-
dent. The young titan who received
an electric shock from leaning with
one hand on a wire fence Elm'ing the
storm last week, remained partly un-
conscious for a, few minutes. Cattle
and other animals lying beside a wire
fence have been killed by lightning in
the same way as he was shocked.
Sinking a wire Into the earth is. good
protection from this danger.

Lost, But Found.
The Carlow correspondent of the
Goclerich Signal reports—"The other
day as Robert Bean, one of our enter-
prising farmers, was ploughing his
summer fallow on the farm which he
purchased last fall, his plow turned up
a gold watch and chain. The watch
belonged to his brother, Geo. Bean,
.and was lost over eight years ago
during the time he had the sante farm
rented. While the chain was in a
somewhat rusted state, the watch it-
self was pretty well preserved, and
with a little cleaning and fixing up
will be all right again, it is thought."

At high noon on Wednesday, Sep-
tember 7th, a quiet but very pretty

peg. Rev. Dr. Gundy performed the

over taffeta, with veil and orange blos-
soms, and carried bridal roses The

de chine and also carried a bouquet of
roses, while the little flower girl bore

ham relatives, before leaving for their

ing water. Another little boy,

tube while it was in the child's mouth,
driving the tube through the roof of
his Mouth and up near to the nose.
He was inhinediately taken to Dr.
Kennedy's office and while under the
influence of chloroform the wound
was stitched. A second operation
was necessary. The little boy is do-
ing nicely now, lett it was a very
painful wound. Children cannot be
too careful even in play, for some-
times, perhaps unintentionally, much
pain anti trouble are _ caused by
thoughtless acts.
