Boensan, of Usborne, on Sunday.
We are sorry to hear that Mrs. Ben-
net; of Lobo, formerly of Elimville, re-
cently met with a severe aecident
which may lay her up for some time.
It appears that she was going down
cellar when she slipped and fell, injur-
ing her badly. The people around
Elimville feel very sorry, as many are
anxious to see their • old friend back
A couple of Germans; who are at pre
sent selling catarrh medicines and in-
halers, stopped at a hotel not far from
Exeter a few nights since. Before
leaVing they ransacked the house and
carried off a number of articles besides
Some cash. 'We hope this may have
the effect of warning hotel -keepers to
keep a sharp look out for those intrud-
ers,' and capture them before many
more are nipped.
An actident of a very serious nature
.happened to Mr. James McCurdy, of
Usborne, on Wednesday of last week.
It appears that he was engaged in
drawing wood from the bush, and in
turning around to get to the wood pile
by some means he slipped and fell
across the sale; of the sleigh box the
result of , which was the breaking of
three ribs, one being broken just above
the heart and is said to be in a very
our
writing
position, but at the time of
u
riting he is said to be doing as
well as can be expected.
It is,this week our sad and painful
ditty to chronicle the death of one of
the oldest pioneers of Hibbert township
in' the person of Mr. Thos. Chappel.
He was a native of Cornwall, England.
Ile left England and ceifie to the t'p of
Ilibbert over 30 years ago when that
part of the county was a vast Ito wling
wilderness inhabited by bears, wolves
and°nIndians,

of his death on Saturday last at 6 aSne",

painful•sufferleg in an atmosphere of
peace and good will be passed peace-
fully aWay, I &was a very prominent

torly beard, and sites also steward of
the Prospect appointment. Ile was
not one of those unfaithful stewards
who buried their talents in a napkin
so far out of sight that they were neyer
to be seen when needed, but on the
contrary he was one who resembles him
to whom it was said "well done good
and faithful servant, thou haat been
faithful over a few things, I will melte
thee ruler over many." At the time
of writing we did not learn his exact
age but he was over sleety years. The
funeral coetage left the house on Mon
day afternoon at half past two, which
was a large one, chiefly made np of
mourners and sorrowing friends, His
remains were interred in the Prospect
cemetery there to await the morning
of the,resurrection. He leaves behind
a, Widow and eleven children—six boys
and -five girls—only one of Which is
married, in conclusion of a truth we
can say that Mrs Chappel and family
