LAST Monday forenoon Miss Ellen
Mauler was slightly injured by being
rim over by the wheel of a buggy.
She was alightiug from the rig on the
sidewalk near the American hotel, the
horse backed up and she fell between
the wheels. Tho young lady was
picked up from between the hind feet
of the horse by II. Dennis, and the
wonder was that she was not serious
ly hurt.
Toon A' TUMBLE.—Last Saturday a
young man from Goderioh, named
Blank, who was painting for Clucas,
got slightly under the influence of
"Spruce" and after performing var-
ious didoes was taken by his compnn•
iou to the American hotel and locked
in a bedroom on the 8rd flat. One
of the young fellows who had helped
to get him upstairs went to the side
of the building to see if he could see
him (Black) et the window, when, to
his surprise, he found the young man
lying on the ground on the roadway
leading into the hotel yard. He was
carried into the house and medical
aid summoned, when it was found
very tittle damage was done. Ono of
his legs was injured and hie whole
frame more or less jarred. He went
to Goderich on Monday. When it is
considered that he fell 35 feet the
wonder is that he was not killed.
This makes the 2nd or 3rd feat of
this kind from the 3rd story of the
American, the next performer will
have to go one higher to take the
lead.
NEW RINK.—Last Monday evening
a meeting of those interested in the
erection of a skating and curling rink
was held in the Council chamber.
The report of the committee, ap.
pointed at the last meeting, in refer-
ence to plans and specifications, site,
tenders, &c. was given by Jas, Drewe
and E. B. Burt. Wm. Vanstene &
Sone have taken the contract for the
building, whieh is to be 74x160 feet,
built on John and Market streets, and
is to be finished in 6 weeks. Messrs.
Vanstones contract is $1,500, $600
of which the contractors take in
stock. It was unanimously carried
that application be made for a charter
for the company. R. Graham was
elected Chairman of the Provisional
Board of Directors ;.E. B. Burt, Seo
Treas. ; and J. Drewe, F. S. Scott
and E. E. Wade, Directors. It was
resolved to call in 60 per oent. of the
shares at once and provide for the
balance when the contract is Dom.
plated. The probabilities are that
the rink will be pushed right along
and that it will be a neat and com-
modions building. It is expected that
a large number of our residents who
have not as yet taken shares will do
so now that arrangements are on foot
for carrying the scheme to a sucoess-
fnl completion. The curlers will oc-
cupy the right and left wings of the
building leaving the main building
for graters.

LAST Sunday evening Rev. 3. Roes,
B.A., delivered a stirriug eormon, or
address, to his congregation, in Mel•
i'illo Oburch, from the text "Abstain
from all appearance of evil." The
principal subject dealt with was the
Scott Aot and its onforcomont.
WE have been asked a number of
times why we did not write rip an ao-
oouut of our trip to Vermont. The
reason is this :—A note book in which
ws put down objects worthy of note in
hysroglyphics, has been mislaid and
when it turns up we will give our
readers a short account of one of the
moat beautiful parts of the country
the gun ever shone upon.
PECK'S Sues, published at Milwauk-
ee, Wisconsin, is the most:humorous
paper in America to day. Geo. W.
Peek, its editor andproprietor, elands
without an equal as a humorist. He
believes iu making people happy, and
no cue can bo otherwise who reads
his most excellent paper. Our read-
ers are invited to read the prospectus
of Peck's Sun, in another column.
Sample copies mtuled free to any ad-
dress.
THE YEAR 1886. ---Some one has un-
earthed an old prophecy for the year
1886, of a decidedly uncomfortable
nature. It appears that in the church
of Oberemmel, near the oity of Tray -
ori, in Germany, there is a stone tab.
let some centuries old, on which is
cut a prophetic verse, which iu prose
may be rendered : "When Mark shall
bring us Easter, and Anthony ging
praises at Pentecost, and John shall
swing the °sneer at corpus Domini,
then shall the whole earth resound
with weepings and wailings." Now,
it so happens that in the year 1886
Easter falls on St. Mark's Day, Pen-
tecost, on that of St. Anthony of
Padua, and the Corpus Domini oomes
on St. John the Baptist's Day, June
24. Here then, are the first condi-
hone of the prophecy fulfilled, so that
now believers in prophecies and anx-
ious -minded persons have only to lie
down and think of everything dis-
agreeable that can possibly happen to
this poor planet and the dwellers
thereon between January and Decem-
ber, 1886. And really, if the earth-
quakes, epidemics, wars and rumors
of wars of the past five years are to
be eclipsed by next year, the prospect
is not a pleasing one, ,
FALL OPENING.—Last Thursday,
Friday and Saturday were the open-
ing days for the fall and winter cam-
paign of F. 0. Rogers' millinery,
dregs goods and mantle departments.
Saturday special pains were taken to
make everything attractive and to
that end a banner with Welcome hung
over the front door, and another at
the entrance to the millinery show
room, while 2 dozen pots and baskets
of beautiful flowers and plants, add-
ed to the scone. The millinery room
was filled with ladies who "took
stock" of all the hats, bonnets, flow-
ers, plumes, birds, silks, satins,
plushes, &c. hies Filer displayed
the goods to the best advantage and
her handiwork speaks for itself. The
counters in the store were filled with
dress goods, French merinos, ladies
skirts, silk handkerchiefs, gleves and
a host of other goods suitable for lad-
les wear. The evening was very un•
propitious yet a large number of peo-
ple visited the store and admired the
display, In addition to the usual
lighting of the premises 5 dozen
Chinese lanterns were arranged inside
and outside of the store. The brass
band was there and for about an hour
discoursed some of their excellent
Music. Mr. Rogers is well satisfied
with the opening and he counts on
doing a large trade this fall and win-
ter,
