Nissouri.
A. melancholy accident ocourred on the farm
of Jos. MoVey, near Ployer Mills, West.
Nissouri, on Monday afternoon. It appears
Mr. McVey's sons, assisted by a neighbor's
son, ?Ir. Wm. Jones, were running it grind-
stone -by 'horse power, wheu uufortunately
the stone brake just as it had reached a high
rate'of speed—broke into four pieces, one of
which. struck Mr. Jocies on the left breast
with sluila terrible force as to crush in the
rib's againet the lungs, lacerating the letter in
a frightful Manner. Since then the young
man has hovered between life aud death,
with but faint:chances of reoovery. An idea
of the force of the blow may be gathered from
the feet that one part of the sono was driven
thtough the side of the barn and far into an
adjoining field, while another passed through
the roof, tearing off tough elm sheeting on its
way. 'Much sympathy is expressed for the
family hy a large oirole of acquaintances.

-Itriatpousinsay.—Tbe reeves of Hay and
=Strinlese :townships have this year taken a
'clttfierture in tho matter of obtaining
gravel fpr the boundary line, Heretofore
the work of drawing the gravel hag beeu
done insthe summer at a cost of $1 per yard,
while this year by an arrangement entered
into by he above reeves the gravel has al-
ready been drawn by sleigh at a cost of 50c
per yard,_and piled in heaps, sufficiently tar
from the:road to :ensure safety, to be spread
when trlte proper time uomes, when, it is
estimated, the work can be got done at 10c
1,0iyard; There have been 40Q yards drawn
NyjSidkat 500 per yard costs a200, whilennder
thi! old..eyetar,* of hauling the greeel in the
• summer the cost to the township would 'be
$400. And adding to the above $200, the
cost of spreading, $40, there still remains a
balance of a160—a direct saving to the
townships concerned. If the reducing of the
expenditnre of the township
continues throughout the year to such a
degree as has characterized the months just
past what are the ratepayers to expect at the
end of the year large surplus and re-
duction in the rate of taxation next year.

BABES INT THE WOODS.—This novel and in-
teresting comedy was reudered in the town
hall, on Friday evg, lost to the satisfaction of
quite a large audience (mostly children) and
proved very biteresting to them. The 'Jack

Taking tho show from the standpoint it is

Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Rogers, of park -
hill rnet with a serious accident while
out driving last Thursday afternoon,
and their escape from death was almost
miraculous. They had just entered
their low cutter on Mill St., El/la were
turning around on the street when a
runaway team attached to a heavy
sleigh dashed upon them, and in an
instant the sleigh had struck their
cutter, overturning it and their occu-
pants, and passed directly over them.
Fortunately the cutter was a strong one
and bore the weight of the sleigh so Mr.
and Mrs Rogers escaped being crushed
beneath it. Each of them received a
severe cut about their eyes.
The Mitchell Advocate says.—The
failure of. John and Henry Watson of
Hibbert, is noc only bad, but many
suspicious circumstances surround it.

they would be obliged to assign, yet
they went on borrowing from the
widow and the poor man, as well as the
rich, almost up to the very last moment
And where -has the money gone? Steps
should at once be taken to probe the
matter to the bottom.
