when the guests dispersed) highly
pleased with the pleasant evening they
had spent. Success and long life to
the newly married in their Michigan
home. It is necessary to further
chronicle that at about 9 p. m. a num
bee of "hoodlums" from Dashwood and.
elsewhere invaded. the premises around
the house that contained the happy
couple and for a few moments made
-the air hideous with noise, of guns, cow
bells. and °thee instruments best
known to such a crowd; but having
received their fee rapidly proceeded to
Dashwood andprocured the "necess-
ary" to. make their poise still more
high. It is stated by good anthoritY
that some misereant relieyed them of

the lights, and when lowering the
chandelier in the front part of the
church the rope which held. it broke,
letting the entire set of lamps to the
floor and breaking them to atoms. In
a few moments the interior presented
a destructive scene. A large number
of the horror stricken congreee,ation
fled for their lives, while others of a
more heroic determination remained
and fought the flames bravely until
the destroying elements were under
control and finally extinguished. Tho
damage to furniture, &c., was slight
but the walls were somewhat blacken.

Census bulletin, No. 11, dealing with
mortality, has been issued. The num
ber of deaths in the Dominion for the
twelve months ending April 6. 1891, is
placed at 67,688 as compared with 63,-
413 in the, same year in 1881 -the in
crease in deaths is thus 6.75 per cent.,
against an increase in population of
11.73 per cent. Returns for the prov-
ince of Quebec indicate that the death
rate among the French-Canadians is
greater than among the rest of the
community. The total deaths in the
Proyinee were 28,154, of which 26,019
were Roman, Catholics. This gives the
tate per 1,000 at 20,1, or 1 in every 50.
The death rate among Protestants in
the Province of Quebec is 10,8 per
1000, or lin 92. In Ontario the death
rate among Roman Catholics is 14 per
1,000, or 1 in 70; and among ,Protest
ants 108 per 1,000, or 1 in 92. Tak-
ing the death rate by provinces, the
returns show it is lowest in the North-
west Territories, being oniy 7,32 per
thousand, and highest in Quebecavhere
it is 18.91 per thousand. The births
for the year 1891 numbered 135,843,
divided into 70,080 melee and 65,736
females, making a birth rate of 28.9
per thouserel for population.

GRAVENHURST, Sept. 21. -The many
friends of 3ana Murray will be delight -
to learn that he is himself again, and
that after undergoing tntense suffer,.
ing, such as few haye experienced -
Sam, as everyone knows, is a railroad-
er, or rather was up to the time, two
years ago, when he met with au acci-
dent while engaged in coupling cars.
One hand was crushed and he lost sev-
era.1 Ongers. This was on September
-
17th, 1890. For five months and a'
hall the pool fellow was laid off work,
but his old friends did not desert him,.
and many were the enquiries sent
from all along the line as to how he
was getting alone.. At last Sam
thought he was able to work and was,
put to brake on a passenger train and
ran on the Meaford Mail for about ,ne.
month. He was next changed' to the'' •
Muskoka mixed and after: a short time
was transferred to a way freight be-
tween Gravenhurst and North Bay -
but he failed steadily, like a man ire
consumption lost fiesh every day.
From nearly 200 pounds he wasted
down to 140.
On Juno 1911i last year he finished
one of his usual runs and that same
evening when taking a walk with a;
lady he fell on the sidewalk., where he
lay as if dead. The young lady gave
the alarm and Sans was carried to a
doctor's office. The doctor said he had
an attack of ACUTE LOCAL FATIGUE
and that 11 1)18 was ever able to work
again it would only be by taking the
utmost Care of himself. But he ree,ov
ered to a pertain extent and then had,
another attack while taking a row om
the lake. Then the spells came upon.
him with greater frequency, and while
they lasted he lost all consciousness.
One doctor gave him thirty days to
live,while another told. him he belieyed
he would. have sixty days in which to
settle his earthly affairs. This was.
anything but pleasant news, and yet
Sam's cherry smile never forsook him.
He belongs to the Brotherhood. of Rail.
way Trainmen, and of course received -
his sick benefit from the G. T. 11, At
lass four doctors gave sworn certificat-
es that he would never be able to re,
surae his duties as a trainman. The
Grand Trunk railway paid him off,
and the Insurance, Branch to which he
