In writing to renew ;her subscription 'the
other day, Mrs. J. Josling of Detroit, who
was formally Miss Mason of Summerhill,
says that she has taken this paper or the
New. Era, and she has certainly taken this
one ever since the writer has been con-
nected with it, over 20 years. It is read by all
members of her family, a married son
always asks for it when he comes .in to see
his mother. Times -are begining to look. up a . .
little in Detroit, Mrs. Josling says. Her hus-
band and son are at work again and she says
the cars are full again of a morning taking
people to work..

While Jno Riley and, his father were cut-
ting down a tree in Mr. Thos. McMillan's •
woods, the tree went in a different direction
to what was expected knocking Mr. Jno
Riley into the. ditch close by, which un-
doubtedly saved his life. He received a bad
shaking up; but we hope there' is nothing
that will prove serious.
At the last meeting of County Council it
was decided that. the County Engineer, Mr.
Patterson, should prepare plans and
s- ecificationsfblr=a.rreUrbr-idge•a't:.Forster'S,..
same to be submitted to the County Council
at its January meeting. It was also prac-
tically decided that the new bridge should be ,
on the site of the old one. The people in this '
township are in hopes that nothing will delay
the erection of•the new bridge, as it is much
needed, and is likely that parties will be on
hand to tender for the abutments and other
preliminary work. As a work of necessity,
nothing should be allowed to stand in the
way of this being vigorously prosecuted as
soon as possible... .

While Mr. Johrl Stewart was drawing
some straw theload upset throwing him off
and hurting his leg severely.
Two of the immigrant children ,had a
remarkably close call for their lives . on
Wednesday. Judging by their size, they
could not be more than five or six years of
age. They had been out with a small sleigh
gathering up pieces of firewood, and were
exerting all their strength to get it across
Albert Street, which was thronged with
teams, when one came along quickly and
before they could be pulled up, were literal-
ly on top elf the children, it being difficult to
tell which were the children and which
horses' legs. Fortunately the man had good
control of the horses and held them until the
children extricated themselves without be-
ing in the slightest hurt.
