R. conductor Case Miners, of Sarnia. The circumstances connected with his death are extremely sad and his wife and family are almost prostrate with grief. Deceased had not been enjoying the best of health for some time and consequently applied for a leave of ab- sence. This was granted him and he immediately came up here to better his condition. The change was an appar- ent beneficial one and he seemed to re- gain considerably, until a few days previous to his death, when he took a sudden change for the worse and it was then the gravity of his situation was unmistakable. His case was one of a very peculiar type and one which baffled the skill of all the physicians who attended him. He was in the ser- vice of the G. T. R. for 33 years and was one of the most popular conductors on the road. He was employed on the Lehigh express and many patrons of the G T. R. will miss his genial face. He was a former resident of Usborne where two of his brothers now reside. He leaves to mourn his demise a wife and five children. The funeral took place yesterday (Wednesday) for the Elimville cemetery and was largely attended. The many friends here of Mr. Rich. Eacrett, of Brantford, will be pleased to learn that he is recovering from his recent severe attack of blood poisoning. A few weeks ago while opening a can of paint he accidentally received a slight cut from the can. Little or no attention was paid to the apparent trif- ling wound until it began to threaten a serious aspect, it having turned to blood poisoning and for several days his life was in danger. However, he is now much better and apparently out of danger. A correspondent of the Clinton New Era says: A certain party said to me the other day, "Well, how do you like my new suit? I sent down to Eaton's for it, and it only cost me $5,35." Since then I have seen the very identical kind of suit marked $5, in three of our merchants' windows; so in that case our friend was the loser, clearly demon- strating that, as a rule, we can do every bit as well at home as abroad, and in nine cases out of ten, better, at the same time feeling that by spending the mon• ey in our own town we are helping our own merchants, and indirectly helping ourselves. If Mr. Eaton did not get a good profit, he would not have big farms and palatial buildings, would he,• now? Bring Your Wool.

Come and see me at the Commetcial House. JOHN BAWDEN. Died oflockjaw. The Free Press in giving the panic ulars of the death of William Prince, of whom we made mention last week, says: —"William Edward Prince, a Hyde Park blacksmith, died at his home in the village Tuesday, aged 25 years. The death of Prince was particularly sad. About a month ago the young man was pursuing his occupation as usual, when he stepped opa rusty nail. The nail went through he shoe and penetrated the ball of the left foot. The wound was rather painful, but it was carefully dressed, and soon caused lit- tle or no inconvenience. Two weeks passed, and the incident had been al- most entirely forgotten until Prince be- gan to have trouble with cramps in the foot which was injured. At intervals they would be so severe as to draw the toes out of shape and they finally be- came so bad that Dr. McNeil, of St. John's, was called. The trouble was attributed to the rusty nail, and as Dr. McNeill feared that lockjaw would set in, he consulted with Dr. Wishart, of this city. The sole of the foot was open- ed and the wound cauterized, but grad- ually the leg, back, and finally the jaw became affected., Prince's agony dur- ing the last ten days was intense and terrible to behold. The unfortunate fellow would be taken with periodical spasms, during which it was alinost im- possible to hold him in bed. Nothing could be done to bring relief, and he died Tuesday. Between the spasms Prince was able to take a little nourish- ment. The case is rather unusual in that the jaw was not the first part. af- fected. wool !

Such a case it falls to the lot of the Ridgetown Domin- ion to record.

At time of writing mother and daughters are doing well. It will he appropriate to name the little ones after the months. Sarnia Observer:—Word was receiv- ed here Friday announcing the death by drowning of John Colwell, near Goderich, that morning. Colwell was employed as a diver, but no particu- lars regarding the accident are yet to hand. Mr. Colwell was a comparative- ly young man, and was well known here, where he has numerous friends and relatives. His wife and two child- ren reside in the Fourth Ward. He also has a brother employed iu the G. T. R. ice houses at the tunnel. The rather startling report of the special auditor, George Edwards, of Toronto, in which he claimed there was a shortage in the accounts of City Treasurer Harvey, of Guelph, created a sensation in the Royal City. To the finance committee the treasurer made certain offers of security, but he was suspended, and Mr. Richard Mitchell placed temporarily in charge. It is said that the shortages will aggregate be- tween six and eight thousand dollars. Mr. Harvey offered security to the amount of ten thousand dollars. Patiick Finn and John Lamb, aged 21 and 25 respectively, employed on the T., H. & B. as section men were drown- ed at noon on Monday in the Grand River at Cainsville. Four of the section men went out to swim. Finn was not a swimmer and got into too deep water He cried for help. Lamb being the nearest, went to his assistance, and when Finn got hold of him they both went under,, not to rise again. The other men went to their rescue, but the water was so muddy they could not see them. The two bodies were recovered after being in the water about an hour' Coal!
