Thomas. Valle there she met, became enamored of and conquered a gentleman of mid- dle life who went by the name of Web- ster, when in her piesence. Unlike the heroine of Shakespeare's comedy, who Dever told her love, but let coneealment like a worm feed upon the daraask roses of her cheek, she confessed her affection for the elderly wOoer, and learned that her love was returned with all the warmth of which a passionate mature was capable. About Christmas she returned home, and. the glad news at Once spread that " Aggie " was.en- gaged to a wealthy nabob of St. Thomas. and was to be raarried in the spring. Several times Webster, for such he call- ed himself, came to see her, and the,. wedding day was fixed for Mareh. The ides of March passed, and the wedding was postponed. April followed, and the happy day was put off: May also, and the gossips talked and. wondered, mill wondered. and talked. A week ago last Saturday fresh interest was added to the ayair de coeur by the arrival at the girl's home 'of a woman apparently abut 40 years of age, who made the startling announcement that she , was the wife of -not Mr. Webster, as the ba py wooer called himself -but • Tilomas Francis. For the information of the family she added that she had been married to hirn 17 years, and. had a aughter 16 years of age, and. a boy of nii4ie. After warning the girl to beware, - Mrs. Fraucis tciok her departure. But the climax:wasi reached_ on Friday of laSt week when Francis, alias Webster, appeared again. He was met with up - braidings and scorn by some members of the family. In his defence he said the woman who had brought the trou- - ble upon him was his niece, that he had. willed her $1,000, which she feared would. lose if he Married. This he d prompted her to take her extraor- ary course. This was evid.ently sat- ctory to the girl and her mother, t not to the father, who, however, uot know whether to interfere or a and while he was halting between 1 o opiuions the pair started. for Exeter. out three hours after their departure, s. Francis returned and repeated her rY, producing such proof that there is no doubt of its truth. She then returned home to St. Thomas, Mean- time Webster -had gone home,; and left tb,e girl in Exeter over night: Satur- day morning she returned home, going R vay which is not often travelled in or er to avoid meeting her father, who was coming out to " interview " her, anal while he was going home she re- turned to Exeter. The girl claims that she was married. to Webster in London, on the 17th of June, the day the Exeter Snnday School had their excursioi'to Port Stanley, she accompanying tlIiem, alid getting off at Loudon. for the 'pur- pose of ha.ving the knot tied. The peo- ple in the neighborhood are firmly im- Pras.sed with. the belief that Webster is a libertine, and seriously contemplate giving him a coat of tar ornamented with feathers and a free ride on the business angle of a rail if he makes his a.ppearance in Usborne. At the present .0,1043 the girl is in Exeter, probably baztatvetoings the return of him she "loves in vain." But a pleasant trip n- v - t, le Le. 00 S. e, is, o- to Florida has been spoiled by the heartless Mrs. Francis, for arrange- ments had been made that the ()duple should get married and proceed to Flori- da, there to pass the remainder of their happy days."

Shortly after being discharged from hos- pital Mr. Dagan emigrated to Canada and finally settled in St. Marys. A few months since the old wound broke out again, and after enduring great agony Mr. Dagan went to the Toronto hospi- tal, when it was found necessary to am- putate the limb, which was done, and, we understand, he was progressing fa- vorably after his return home. Unfor- tunately, however, while out one day he slipped and fell, and the shock re- ceived brought on inflammation in the leg, from which he died.

He could not rise -he could not remove the tree which was lying across his broken led. He was far from the probability of passing aid, and • to lie there and starve to °death in. agony seemed all that was left to him. In his dilemma, with all the fortitude and promptness of romance, he took out his knife, cut off lifs own leg, bound it up with his sash, dragged himself along the ground to his canoe, and paddled himself home to his wigwam on a dis- tant island. There the cure of his wound was completed, and. the man is still alive. Straege as this may seem, it is strictly true. Births.'
