Caldwell, near Constance, met with a pain- ful and wbat might have peeved a fatal acid, dent early Wednesday morning. He was stopping at the Commercial ho- tel here, and was sleeping in one of the front bedrooms on the second floor. He got up in his sleep and walking towards the window, which was open, he fell out, striking on his head on the board platform front of the hotel, a distance of about 20 feet. After the accident he got up and wakened the people in the house. He received some cuts in the face _and a severe shaking op, but no bones were broken. Apart frotn the aggrivating of ati old internal trouble, he was not very much the worse, al- though it is a mystery that he was not killed.

Frayne. -Mr. and Mre, 'William Parke, of Toronto, are spending a few holidays very pleasantly, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. James Cum- ming. Mr. Parke has been in the Eaton establishment for several years, but we be- lieve he intends pushing his fortune in the west this fall. -After a long and painful ill- ness, Airs. James Murray, daughther of the late Themes Neilans, of Harlock, died on Wednesclay afternoon of hist week. Mr. Murray moved his family to this village last spring, but his wife was never able to view all of the interior of the comfortable home t) which she had been brought. The de- ceased was a worthy women mad leaves a hueband and two daughters to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother. -The Rev. V. K. Beshketoor, of Michigan, son- in- law of Mrs. Samuel Wallace, of Tucker - smith, preached an excellent sermon in our church on Sabbath evening. Mrs. Besh- ketoor and the children are holidaying at the parental home for a couple ot weeks.--e- Rev. Mr. Shaw seems generally to have a monopoly of the matrimonial market in this vicinity. LELIA week he tied the nup- tial knot for Mr. Patrick and Miss Nichol. and it is said there are several more to come during the next two weeks. -Mrs. Mul- drew has gained strength so much lately that she was able to be taken out to Mc- Killop on Monday afternoon. She expects to spend some time, first with Mrs. James Scott and then with Mrs. Robert Scarlett, her daughters. The good old lady's re- covery.is a wonder to her many friends, who will hope for continued improvement. -. Greedy, selfish, uncompromising, are epithets oommonly to be seen these days in American newspapers when this Canada of ours is mentioned, and all because wo wish to retain our national boundaries by all honorable means. But are we not culpable because we have edelded to their dermal& in almost everything in past treaties, and like s oiled childten, they cry for more of the ea e treatment. As pertinent exam - plea, e might mention the Maine boundary and t e Oregon treaty. Our American cousin should know by this time that they have o divine ight to rule all North America. -Mies Maggie Daly has been en- gaged to take charge of a school in Lepel. She entered on her duties last week; and she will also act as organist in the church near by. We congratulate these good peo- ple on having secured the servicee of such a worthy young lady. HORSE AND .RX0 STOLEN. -On Monday, August 21st, a man giving his name as Leech, called at Forbes' livery, in this toWn, and hired horise and rig .for a week, saying he was oing down to the neighborhood of Chime hurst.- He was to have } returned the outfit on Saturday evening last, but up to the p esent time has failed to put in an ap- peara ca. At the time, Mr. k'orbes was a little mph:dons a him, but finally decided to let him have its When the man did not retur on Saturday, Mr. Forbes went to Chine hurst, but sould find no trace of the fello there, and he had apparently not been there at all, altholgh he said he was going to loo after the 'digging of a big dram in that eighborhood. The horse was a small chestnut one with, a white strip on its face and -two white ankles behind. The buggy was rather a large black one with a new top. The man was about five feet seven inches in height and stout. He was dark complexion ed And,had a lump on the left side of his face. He wore a broww hat and grey clothes end from his talk Was apparently a Frenohman. The outfit is worth about $150 and Mr. Forbes is offering &suitable reward for its recovery. • FIRE. -Shortly after nine o'clock on Sat- urday night, the firemen were called out. The fire was in the rear of Johnson Broth- ers' hardware store, but was fortunately not attended with serious results, While filling a can with gasoline from the tank in which it is stored, some of the liquid, in some manner caught fire and in a moment the flames shot up and things looked threaten- ing, as in the inimediate vicinity are a number of frame buildings. However, the flow of gasoline from the tank was shut off midi the firemen kept the buildings from catching, and as soon as the liquid, which had escaped; burned out all danger was passed, It was a narrow escape, for had the fire got into the tank, the results would undoubtedlyihave been serious. As it is contrary to laW to sell gasoline, coal oil and other combustibles after dark, persons should make it a point to procure these commodi• ties during the day time. Naturally the store keepers are anxious to oblige their customers as far as possible, and many times are called upon to break the law in this respect. ' Fortunately there have been 110 serious moults from this practise as yet, but shoppers, should not ask our merchants to break the law, and at the same time endanger their own and their neighbors' property, just because of their dwn negli- gence. • Fex Leadbury correspond- ent calla attention to the condition of North Main street in the fall, and calls upon the authorities to have it remedied, not only. in the interests of the fartners,but for the good of the town as well. Our correspondent writes : MR. EDITOR, -There is a mat- ter I wish to mention, It is in regard to a portion of road between Leadbury and Sea - forth, and; on the north gravel road, be- tween the MoKillop boundary and the Queen's hotel, Seaforth. This road is not so bad in dry weather, but when wet weather comes in the fall, and very often when the largest quantries of grain are being hauled to market it is then something ter- rible. We have beard of the rooky road to Dublin, which could be no worse than this rocky road leading to the -business part of Seaforth. It has been allowed to remain in thie condition for some years, and is a great hardship to teamsters With heavy loads, es- pecially those who have comes, a long dis- tance and whose horses are -already tired before reaching it. 13sides this, it is a di- rect injury to the town. I have heard some farmers in the section where I live expresa their intention of hauling their grain to Brussels or Mitchell rather than run the risk of breaking their wagons on the road I have referred to. A heavy coat of fine gravel would keep it in good condition for a number of years or a light 3oat of gravel would be a big h'elp.to it for two or three yeara at least. It is to be hoped that the good people of Seaforth, who are usually en- ergetic in the matter of improvements, will see, to this at once. 1 • A NORTH DAKOTA TOWN. -A friend has sent us a neat little volume, entitled " Souvenir Album of the City of Park River, North Dakota." It is artistically gotten up in ifs mechanical execution, and is an exceedingly interesting work, even to one who who does not know anything of the place or its people, as it illustrates the revo- lution that energy, enterprise and pluck can accomplish in any country. in a few years. It contains a biographical sketch of the town of Park River, North Dakota also beautifelly executed phographurss of' the Main street of the town fifteen years ago, and one of it as it appeara in 1899, together with the public buildings, business houses and private residences, also portraits of many of the leading citizene, as well as views of several of the farm residencea near the pity. All ehis serves to show the mighty transformation that has taken place in such a comparatively abort time. Fifteen years ago there were only a. few shacks in the town, and now there are some as handsome& looking residence as can. be seen in any On,- tario town of thousands of population and of many years standing, while the public buildings such as schools, churches, etc., seem to b'e in every way in keeping with th private residencea. The town has a popu lation of 1,400. We also recognise, wit pleasure portraits of several former Huron itea. First in the list is the -neat and cosy looking residence of ;;Mr. Samuel Lands - borough, formerly of Tuckersmith, wibh the old gentleman himself sitting in the fore• ground, as natural as life, with hie coat and hat off, and reading a paper. By his 'side is a lady, whom,we preeume,is his daughter. There is also a good picture of the country residence of Mr. W. H. Landsborough, a son of the fornier gentleman, and, judging from appearances, he has a residence,which, for comfort, neatness, and elegance, will compare favorably with the best farm resi- dences in the county. of Huron. Things grow quickly in the west. LOCAL BRIEFe. -Mond ay n ex t, being Labor Day, will be observed as a public holiday. The band and firemen go to Strat- ford on that day to:compete in a celebration there, and we trust that they will be as suc- cessful as they were in St. Marys. -Mr. Loftus Stark, has moved his tailoring es- tablishment to the store formerly oecupied by Casey & Co., one door north of the post - office.
