A farmer named Dunn, of McKillop, lost a valuable horse there a few days ago, it having broken its leg in one of the holes on the road. —The Beacon says: Rev. NV: T. fferridge, B. D, of St. Andrew's 'church, Ottawa, son of Rev. W. Her - ridge, Stratford, was married in Hali- fax, on Thursday week, to Miss Mar- jory Duncan. The ceremony was con- ducted by Rev. Prof. Pollock, assisted by the bridegroom's father. This mar- riage, has a shade of romance about it. Two summers ago Mr. Herridge visited Scotland, and the steamer that brought home the young clergy- man also carried the lady, who is now his bride, who was about to visit her married sister, Mrs. H. G. Bauld., of Halifax. They ! had not met before. But sea voyages are often pro- ductive of matrimonial Matches.. Fate had thrown them together, and Cupid - played sad havoc with their hearts.

Terrible Experience of Pas- sengers on the Canadian Pacific Railway. - A Toronto dispatch says; Through passengers east from Winnipeg arriving by the Canadian Pacific Railway brought details of a. terrible railway accident that happened to a train by which they were travelling on Friday lad. The train was running at a. fair rate of speed -early inlthe morning, and on nearing SudburyJunction, east of Port Arthur, a rail -which had become loosened on the ties in Borne manner spread, causing the train to lave the track. After running a short distance the train was thrown down a steep embankment. The stoves being overturned set fire to all the cars, most of which were well filled with pas- sengers, many of whom were asleep at the time. All the passengers escaped with their lives, although many were in jured, and some very seriously, if not fatally, burned. All the cars rolled down the embankment, and the whole train was a complete wreck. The bag- gage and mail cars -and one of the pas- senger cars were totally consumed by fire. The pas-sengers succeeded in put- ting out the fire in the other pArs caused by upsetting of the stoves. The acci- dent happened in a rather desolate part of the country, where the line runs through, and, the passengers, being un- able to find a place of shelter, suffered very much from cold, and men, women and children who escaped from the sleeper in their night clothes, were ob- liged to remain sitting in the snow for an hour or more, the thermometer being below zero at the time. They were saved from beipg frozen by keeping near the burning wreck till assistance arrived. The Indian Prisoners at Stonewall. Mr. Samuel 13edson, Warden of the Manitoba Penitentiary, being in Toronto on a visit, a reporter called on him in Order to learn something of the prison life of the Indians and Half-breeds who, were punished. for complicity in I the recent rebellion. He says most of the Indians are bandy with tools, and can make themselves uSeful in the various industries, of the Penitentiary.

Vanderbilt, railroad king, telegraph monopolist and millionaire, ,died at his residence in New York on Tuesday last Mr. Vanderbilt was born in Richmond county, Staten Island, May 8th, 1821. After completies his college course he lived on a farm on . Staten Island, belonging to his father, mItil he was 44 years of age. At that age his father removed him from the farm and Made him vice-president of the Harlem railroad. This was the com- mencement of his eventful and success- ful career. At the death of his father he inherited most of his wealth, which he augmented until he became the rich- est man in the. world. 'At the time of his death he was said to be worth at least $220,000,000. None of his children were with him in the hour of his death. After arising Mr. Vanderbilt had held his usual morphia conference with his sons, Cornelius said Win. K., who were active managers of his railroad proper- ties, and afterwards with Mr. g. V. Rossiter,' his private secretary, and treasurer of the New York Central rail- road. Daring the morning conference he had been more than ordinarily alert and active, .so much so as to excite com- ment, to which he replied in a good- humored, jocular vein. He had eaten a good breakfast and was looking forward with pleasant anticipation' o a ride up the boulevard with his son-in-law in the afternoon. Afterward he went down to the studio of Mr. Ward, the sculptor, to sit for a bronze bust of himself. He re- turned and took lunch at 12:30 with his wife, son George and Mr. Twombly, and at the table was noticeably bright and cheerful.. At 1 o'clock Robert Garrett, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, called and engaged with Mr. Vanderbilt in a long and animated con• - t HE HURON EXPOISITOR. versation about railway matters. The conference lasted more than an hour, and Mr. Vanderbilt sent word to Mr. Twembly that he would be compelled to forego the intended drive. It was while the talk turned upon the scenes of his childhood and early work contrasted with the tremendous achievements of his ripe old age that Mr. Garrett was made aware of a slight indistinctness in Mr. Vanderbilt's speech, that grew into inarticulate sound. Suddenly Mr. Van- derbilt pitched forward without warning and fell heavily to the floor on his face. Garrett summoned the family, and Dr. McLean arrived in alew minutes. But his intervention was useless, as Mr. Vanderbilt never spoke or moved after' he fell under the sudden stroke,and died within a few minutes without a struggle. Dr. McLean pronouncedhis death the result of a stroke of 'paralysis due to the bursting of a large blood vessel at the base of the brain, and that his death was _ as painless as it was sudden. The sud- den death which occurred to him he had for some time expected, and he has only lately completed a magnificent mauso- leum on the old Vanderbilt farm at New Dorp, Staten Island. He had eight children—the eldest daughter married to Colonel Shepard, the second t9 a son of Mr. Sloan, the carpet merchant. His eldest son, Cornelius, is treasurer of the Harlem railroad, aged 32, the second son is' Win. K., aged 26, private secretary of his father. -Canada. A family in §t.
