THE DRourti.—In this immediate
neighborhood there has not been a. good
soaking rain since the end of July. As a
consequence, pastures have burned up,.
and are bare, wells and creeks have gone
dry, and considerable inconvenience is
expereineed in getting water. It has
threatened to rain a number. of times late
ly, and people have had their feelings
raised, only to have them sadly lowered.
It is feared by souse that the dry spell
will be bad for the fall wheat that' is sown,.
but we fancy there is still sufficient moist-
ure in the ground.to aid in •germinating.
the grain. Farmers feel the. effects of'tlie-
drouth particulaely as regards milch cat-
tle, as all these have to be fed. In town
nearly all •persons feel the effect of the
dry weather, and. no amount of,sprink
ling apparently, will settle the dust,

Mrs. O'Donnell up for assault; -in the ab-

position of defendant to a charge of 'de-
faming Mrs. O'Donnell, and was fined $3

SAD ACCIDENT. --9• very sad accident
happened at the Standard Elevator Jaet
Friday afternoon, whereby a millwright,
named S. P. Irwin, from Toronto, lost his
life. Deeeased.had been here for a Couple
of weeks, making some improvements, and
on the day in question was engaged in the
upper part of the elevator . with _M'r.
Swallow. Wishing to moye . a spout he
had placed a plank beneath it as a lever,
and was himself prying thereon, when the
plank slowed around, the end slipped out,
causing Mr. Irwin to fall a distance of
about fourteen feet, He dropped • on his
forehead, sustaining injuries which quick-
ly ended in death, breathing only a couple.
of times after he fell, Medical aid was im-.
mediately summoned,but the Vital spark
had fled, and the body taken to the house
of Mr, R. Irwin. It was supposed that
the fall had broken his neck, but it is like-
ly that his death was caused by concussion
of the brain, his skull beiog broken.
Theugh of the same name, he was no re-
lation to Mr. R. Irwin, in whose premises
he was working. He was a widower, over
80 years of age, had three' children re-
siding in Toronto, and was a member': ot
the Sherborne Street Methodist church,
of that city. His children arc well up in
years, and just at the time of the accident
his son was about to start for California.
for the benefit of his health, Mr. Irwin
kindly made all preparations for his in-
terment, the body being forwarded toTo-
ronto, for burial. The funeral took place
on Sunday, and was very largely attended,
Mr. and Mrs. R. Irwin, of this place,
being among those who attended. De

NARROW ESCAPE. —• On Wtednesdev
evening as Rev, Mr. Salton and a cab load
of young people were on their way to the
special services at Turner's,.they had a
narrow escape from what might have been
a serious accident. •When they reached
the top of the hill the other side of the
river, one of the tugs broke, and the team
started on a run ; in trying to "hold- them
in, one of the lines broke, thus making
matters worse. The driver,. however, held
on to.the single line, and succeeded in
turning the frantic team into the fence;
when one of those in the rig jumped out
and held the horses. When the cab turn-
ed from' the road, it balanced on two
wheels for several --seconds, but.settled
back without turning.over, much' to• the
relief of the ladies inside.
