Winchelsea ACCIDENTS - What might have proved a serious accident happened to Mr. and Mrs. John Delbridge on Sun- day morning last,' while driving home from church. By some means the kingbolt of the buggy came out of its place which allowed the front wheels aud axle to be drawn out fre:n under the buggy. Both occupants were thrown out on .their heads, Mr. Del - bridge sustaining severe injuries to his arm and shoulder, while Mrs. Del - bridge received a worse shaking up, her head and face being badly cut and has been under the doctor's care ever since. However, we trust that noth ing serious will result. -While Mr. J. 0. Bell, head butter maker at the fac- tory, was adjusting a belt on Monday, by some means his hand was drawn' between the belt and pulley, tearing the thumb of his right hand almost off. He was immediately driven to Exeter,; where the injured member was dressed by Dr. Amos. J. C. will have to carry his arm in a sling for a while. The accident could not have happened in. a worse time, as they are very busy at the factory. On Monday morning last they separated 34,000 pounds of milk, which is 10,000 pounds more in one day than at any time last year, We are sorry to stay that Mrs. Joe. Worden, of Sunshine, is not improving. -Little Sarah Godbolt, who was very sick' at the time of her father's death, is better andable to be around again. -A.liyely load of young people drove hereon Tuesday last and asked, how far it was to Thames Road. When told that they were 2et miles south of that place, one of the party begged of the informer not to tell any person. about it. However they were put du the right track again and went on their way rejoicing. Hunt's privatebank at 'Bracebridge has closed its doors; causing anxiety mong depositors.

The fire started in the wood box with the help of some of the children. Clinton: One day last week, a lady in town had au unpleasant and data genus experience. She sent a girl to get some salts for her, aad by mistake she got saltpetre instead, and the lady took a portion of it before the error was known. The services of a doctor were required to relieve her, and it was say- eral days before she fully recovered from the effects. Goderleh: During the storm Sat- urday night Mrs. R. B.

There- An M D. was called and it was found , Heartedness was remarked by all who fore for the individuals that make a people or notion, self control is better than state control. The abolition of great tensorial liberty has oyer been foilotted by deterioration of the people,. All the mtu•tyre of old, testify that no state should attempt to control matters of private morals. We honor and ap pland the martyrs who would not sub mit and in the next breath pass laws that leads to martyrdom anew. Most senseless, and illogical proceeding, but man is sometimes ver senseless and that the breaks were below the elbow and they were at once set. Mrs B. B. Smith it will be remembered broke an arm some four or five months since, from which accident she had not long recovered. Mitchell: Tuesday evening Mr: For- tune, of .McKillop, Miss Mcisenea, Dub- lin and Miss Kate Pearce, Mitchell, had just crossed the bridge at the woollen mill when their horse began to kick and tried to get away, Miss McKenna received the force of one of the brute's feet on the shoulder, but fortunately es- caped with slight injury. Mies Pearce however, did not fare so well She was kicked on the ankle and walks lame ever since It was fortunate that they got off so well. Seaforth : Herbert Morrison, a young boy who works with Mr. George Bald win,- met with a painful and what might have proved a fatal accident, the other night. He was out on a bi- cycle, and in the dark collided with another rider In the collision he was struck in the pit of the stomach, and was so badly injured that he was re- quired to keep to the hnneei for a few days. Had he been struck au inch or two higher the result would inevitably have been fatal, McKillop : Mr. John Scott, of Rox- boro, met with a very serious and painful accident on Thursday. He was on top of a large load of hay, driv- ing it out of his barn yard. When passing over a side hill, the load upset. As it was going over, Mr. Scott jumped to the other side, expecting to land on bis feet. Unfortunately, however, his foot caught in the wheel of the wagon, with the result that the bone of his right 'leg was fractured about half way between the knee and ankle. It is a compound fracture, and the bone protruded through the skin, making quite a wound, Otherwise he was not injured. It comes at an unfortunate time for him, as he will, even under the most favorable circumstances, be laid up most of the summer. y illogical in his methods ;aud habits of thought. On this one question alone, i. e. the value of self control in the formation of individual and national character, all thinking men who have read history and have paid any attention to the evo- lution of morals would oppose prohibi. tion as a retrograde step. The history of morals 18 the history of evolution. The fittest survive; and certainly peo- ple who learn self control are fitter to survive and perpetuate their kind than state controlled personalities. The whole fabric of society is based on the elat f if t'ol No law or rule men o se con r . making chastity compulsory would be respected or tolerated. It is the old principle in human nature of forbidden fruit being sweet: The principle is well illustrated in the story of Eve and the forbidden fruit of Eden. Eve had no longing for the special fruit till it was forbidden, then nature triumphed and the fruit was eaten. Many con- tend that thereby all the ills wore in- duced, others that thereby man gained all the liberties he ever had. Forbid drink and people who never thought of drinking will find they have acquired an unquenchable thirst. It is always a question of discriminating be- tween crime and vice. Each individu- al has his or her own mental conception of what is moral and what is vicious or criminal, To thousands drinking in- toxicants at all is vicious; to other thous ands it is a highly mooal act. And the people who tolerate drink are equal- ly moral with those who don't. Prohi- bition appears to be a moral law to some while it infamous to others. Yours etc., ANTI COERCION. May 31st, 1898, St. Marys : On Wednesday evening a very interesting and pleasant scene was witnessed by a number of the im mediate relatives of the contracting parties, in the Methodist parsonage, when two of St. Marys popular young people were joined in marriage -Miss Clara. Learoyd, daughter' of Rev. J. Learoyd, and Mr. Wm. C. Box, one of. 4ut.,Marys' enterprising business men. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Learoyd assisted by Rev. Salton, rind the bride was accompanied by her little Waite, Miss Claudine Learoyd, of Wind - Stanley; Mr, Harvey, of the 2nd concession of Stanley, met with quite a heavy loss last week. He has had part of his fine flock of Shropshire sheep pas- turing on the back part of his farm On. Tuesday, one of his neighbors was up early and heard two dogs, which seemed by the bark to be one a small dog and the other a large one, as if in pursuit of something, but not i:nowin, the sheep were there he paid little at tention. Shortly after, however, it was discovered that there were two sheep and one lamb killed; one lamb that could oae. be found; three sheep and three Iambs were badly torn, two of which will tarry iikely die, The Sher- ling ram which he purchased from Mr. Cooper last Rall is badly cut, but may sor, as maid of honor. pull through. came in contact with hien. He was very a:mbitinus and being anxious to complete the spring; soil: he overtaxed his strength when he should have tak- en needed rest. I e -e weeks ago he was taken ill and a' ..ough nursed with the most tender cat , and attention by his sisters and mother he passed to join the silent majority. He was a valued member of the (t. C. church and will be very much missed by that congre- gation. Stephen School Reports The following is a report of S. S.
