died within a few minutes.
A horse belonging to Wm. Grose, of
the 10th con, of Pell, fell into a well

The application to discharge Walter J.
Cohen, the New York boodler who is in

made on Saturday morning before Chief
Justine Galt, but was enlarged for a

A large and enthueiattio meeting of
the citizens of Stayner presented a suit-
able address and gold watch to Dr. Wy
lie, M. P. P., upon his departure to re-
side in the city of Toronto. The chair
was oocnpied by Mayor Rogers. Anum-
ber of speakers expressed the respect and

positions and still represents his cohati-
tuenny in the Local Legislature.
Capt. Aleck Donnelly of the Grey-
hound,
rey
hound, which sailed out of Kincardine,
wee killed in his coaster the other day at
Stokes Bay. It appears he was in the
hold and one of the truckers dumped a
truck of cordwood down the hatchway
upon him without any warning, killing
the unfortunate man instantly, His
widow is now in Detroit, who is left with
five children. The deceased captain was
both an Orangeman and a Mason and
was quite well known in Owen Sound.
Capt. Crawford,of the A. V. Crawford,
picked up a boat near Hope Bay. He
recognized the boat and towed it into
McGregor's f1arbor and left it there. It
appears that on Saturday evening Frank
Nogowan and Sylvester Keasiok left the
Cape for Smoky Inland to set their nets
and since that time nothing has been
heard of them. The boat was probably
swamped in the gale on Sunday night
and the men washed off. There were
several articles in the boat, among them
some fish and nets.
John Cummings, a farmer on the lath
con. of Finy, was burned out last week.
His three youngest children were burned
to death and his wife is very, badly burn-
ed. It is very doubtful if she can live.
The lire started by the obildren lighting
papers et the stove and throwing them
into the wood box. Mr. Cummings had
only just left the house on his way to
Sunday school, taking the eldest boy
with him, and his wife was out milking.
She ran in to save the children nod her
clothes caught fire, Cummings noticed
the fire and ran back, and met his wife
with the baby and oracle Doming out.
He went in for the children but the heat
and smoke were unbearable, and he had
to retreat without finding them. No in•
surance.
About eight weeks ago as Laohlan
Taylor, of Wiarton, was working in the
bush, in stepping over ie large maple tree
which be bad recently out down, he fell
on a sapling, which was broken off about
four feet from the ground and badly
splintered, nutting his throat severely.
He rolled over on the ground, and when
he recovered consciousness he started for
home. Two doctors were called and
attended him for six weeks. Not getting
any better, he went to Guelph and con-
sulted a doctor, who, after examining the
wound, sent him to the General Hospital,
and the next day an operation was per.
formed on his throat, and a splinter near-
ly four inches long and half an inch
thick was taken from it. He was dig.
charged from the hospital on Saturday.
At Hanover last week five small boys,
of not more than 10 years of age, pur-
chased several yards of factory cotton
and one of the tailors made a balloon Inc
them. They repaired to the bash yard
of the Johnston property and dug a
trench, started a fire in it and placed the
cotton in position. Pretty soon it began
to expand and a clothes basket was tied
to the bottom. Herman Wendorf climb-
ed into the basket and called to the boys
to let her go. Ilp she went with a melt

A nava deal was said before the slava
trade was overthrown. The heinous
character of the traffic was considered a
blot on the page of civilization, but while
this was true we have an idea that the
present outrages perpetrated in Siberia
' in the glare of the nineteenth century is
something that should call down swift
and decisive jndgemnt upon the head
of any nation allowing saoh inhumanity
within its borders. Many are the sad
stories told by persone fortunate to escape
the slow torture and the following will,
perhaps, serve as an illustration :--
Among the passengers on the Empress
of India was a Russian named Demetrius
Koeopolitsky, who had escaped from the
gold mines at Krasnuyarsk, about 150
miles from the mouth of the Yenesei
river, eastern Siberia, whither he had
been transported for sixteen years for
being eoncereed in the publication of e
Nihilist journal, called the "Wilt of the
People." Kenoplitsky who is worn to a
skeleton by the hardships encu ed gives
an appalling description of convict life
in the mines. For six years, he says, be
suffered unheard of miseries. Fourteen
prisoners were shackled together working
far below ground in almost total dark.
neas. They all slept in a room about 6
feet by 0 feet, on bare planks, with cue a
little higher for a pillow. They began
work at 7 a. m. in winter time and
finished at 7 p, m., and in summer time
they worked from 4 a. m. to 7 p. m.,
with only one hones intermission, be-
tween 1 and 2 o'clock. They got but one
meal a day, and that consisted of black
bread and water, and on Sundays they
were allowed a email portion of canned
beef. Almostas many Cossacks as con•
riots eto.d guard at the mouth of the
pit, to absolutely bar all possible means
of escape. Any complaints were punish.
ed most rigorously, and on one occasion
Keuoplitsky was stripped with the ex-
ception of a belt around hie waist and
shackled to a rook and left exposed to
the cruel Siberiah climate for 24 hours,
and all for stating to the overseer that he
was not quite comfortable. At last the
hour of escape arrived. Fourteen of
them were working in the one shaft all
shackled together. With a stone he
managed to remove the anklets. The
same opportunity of escape was offered
to the others but he only, as far as be
kn,nvs, availed himself of it. After
weeks of suffering he reached Viadivos-
took. One of the prisoners had managed
to steep his paeeport and had given it to
Konopliteky. The refugee almost cor-
responded with the desoription given but
Konoplitslty bad a tattoo mark of Christ
bearing the oross upon his forearm,
while the passport particularly pointed
out that there was no tattoo marks upon
the person to whom the passport had
been .given. The ease was a desperate
one and required a desperate remedy.
With an ordinary clasp knife 11e out the
pieces of flesh from the arm. The soar
is nob yet healed. From Vludivestoek he
worked his passage on a Japanese
ateamer to Nagreaki, and there hid him-
self on board the Empress of India,
where be made himself known after the
vessel was out of sight of land. He was
treated with the greatest sympathy and
supplied with money and clothes.
W. T. Whitely, editor of the Clinton
News -Record, who was a candidate for
the Co. Clerkship, says in this week's
i8s116 :—It would seem clear from the
analysie and the table given that Whitely
was the strongest candidate for oppon-
ants of Lane to have massed on, and we
have every reason to believe had this been
done he would have been elected over
Lane, even though Mr. herr, who would
have suppotted him, was absent. But
if Holman's supporters when they saw
lie could not carry it had massed upon
Whitely a vote would have bean taken
while Mr, Karr was present and Whitely's
election assured beyond a peradventure.
But Mr. Lane's eupportere were the best
tacticians and he was elected by a min.
ority vote of the council, Though not
personally acquainted with Mr. Lane we
believe he ie a gentleman quits oompet.

onstipation,
TP P not remedied in season, is liable to
become habitual and chronic. Dras-
tic purgatives, by weakening the bowels,
confirm, rather than cure, the evil.
Ayer's Pills, being mild, effective, and
strengthening in their action, aro gener-
ally recommended by the faculty as the
best of aperients.
"Having been subject, for years, to
constipation, without being able to find
much relief, I at last tried Ayer's Pills.
I deem it both a duty and a pleasure
to testify that I have derived great ben-
efit from their use. For over two years
past I have taken one of these pills
every night before retiring. I would not
'willingly be without them."—G. W.
Bowman, 26 East Main st., Carlisle, Pa.
"i have been talring,Ayer's Pills and
using them in my family since 1857, and
cheerfully recommend them to all in
need of a safe but effectual cathartic."
—John M. Boggs, Louisville, Ky
"For eight years I was afflicted with
constipation, which at last became so
tad that the doctors could do no more.
for me. Then I began to take Ayer's
Pills, and soon the bowels recovered
their natural and regular action, so that
pow I am in excellent health."—S. L.

" Having used Ayer's Pills, with good
results, I fully indorse them for the pur-
poses for which they are recommended."
