—A very foolish man named William
Henry, of 'Brussels, a few days ago, in
order to decide a bet jumped into some
slacked lime barefooted; His feet were
burned in a shocking manner,and the un-
fortunate fellow will probably not be
able to get to workagain for a few

sels, was last week committed to Goder-
ieh jail as a dangerous lunatic, there to
await admission into some of the lunatic
asylums. Barbeau had heretofore been
looked upon as a promising young man,
but during the past two or three weeks
he has shown unmistakeable symptoms of
lunacy, and his friends have taken the
above` means to secure for him necessary
treatmcet ;s'_.i,..0 r. , coell not otherwise
obtain.
—The Wir g1amites must be as people
of long suffering and slow to wrath. A
few months ago they were plagued almost
beyond endurance with cow bells and
now the very dogs have taken to tortur-
ing thein. The Times says: "Our streets
during tie past week especially have been
made hideous in the extreme by the yelp-
ing of scores of wretched canines that are
of no conceivable use other than to shock
-the nerves of sensitive people by their
unearthly yells, and keep citizens awake
of nights." -•._ iamm____

A sad accident occurred to Freder-
ick Benneway, a well=to-do farmer in
the township of Fullerton, on Tuesday
last week. He was cutting fall wheat

who was driving, fell from his - seat and
one of his • legs caught in a wheel. In
this position he was dragged some dis-
tance. Whesn. picked up the leg was so
badly fractured. that it Ives found neces-
sary to amputate the Iitnb below the
knee. Mr. Benneway is well known in
the township as a hard-working man,
and deep reesei, is e xpreased at the acci-
dent which has overtaken him. _
—The Berlin Telegraph is answerable
for the following :—The Ontario Legisla-
ture has dobe a good deal to suppress
- alcohol, but there is something left for
it to do yet. On Tuesday, last week, as
a young lad, a clerk in Mr. P. H. Good's
grocery store, was carrying a basket of
bottled (Carling's) ale up Queen street,
Berlin, two of the bottles exploded with
a report like a pistol shot. The beer
disappeared instanter into the red-hot
porous sidewalk, but the obstreperous
cork and the fragments of the glass
bottles were discharged like so many
rockets in the lower part of the lad's face.
He was cut in several places and . bled
profusely.
