of seven, with basket and hold -on, oc-
cupied -a rear seat in one of the cars.
On reaching here the little girl burst
out crying, beginning at the same time
to pull frantically at her little brother,
who was sound asleep. The passengers
gathered aronni her and tried to learn
their destination. "We have to get
out at Canada," was the only answer
she would give. Different places were
suggested but to no purpose. She
grew wild in her efforts to arouse the
little sleeper, and those looking on
s . p ed be were compelled to admire the Motherly
care she seemed to have over her help-
less brother. While' the passengers
wore puzzling over what should be
done, the conductor came in with a
telegram in his hand which explained
all. The children were going to friends
in Goderich, and had travelled all the
way from Kansas. Willing hands bore
the travel -begrimed little ones from
the train to the waiting room, where
they were shortly afterwards trans-
ferred to the Huron & Bruce train,
and all wished them God speed in
Canada.

The Farmers Advocate is out with a
timely warning to growers of apples
for sale. It seems that a combine has

in Western Ontario who deal in apples

These gentlemen will buy under a form
of contract that requires to be closely

In some remarks that he made before
the opening of the court, the Judge
was pretty severe on the Town Council
and said he would not hold the court
in the town hall until it was properly
furnished, and would hold it in some
other suitable place and charge the
rent to the town. The Judge has been
subjected to some severe criticism be-
cause of his action, and where the
matter will end it is bard to say.

A COMPLAINT.—We have received a

about the inconsistency of some peo-
ple patronizing the "merry-go-round"

writer says, will be asking charity from
the Council who now squander their
money. The water for the steam
should be saved just now; the Council
should receive a license of at least $2 a,

"$10 for two or three weeks." Citizen

FATAL ACCIDENT. — William T.,
eldest son of Mr. Joseph Izzard, of the
Bayfield Road, met with one of the
most deplorable accidents yet recorded
in 1894. • He was drawing a load of
Wood from the bush to the house with
a double team. The young man sat on
the outer edge of the front tier.
Exactly where he stopped to unload
at the house the front wheels of the
waggon dropped into a cavity in the
earth. A portion of the front tier of
wood, along with the boy, was
forced off onto the whifliet•rces
and startled the hdrses. They
ran away and continued for
probably twenty rods, overturning the
waggon. The noble young gentleman
was taken from the rear of the front
wheels lifeless. His body was bruised,
face disfigured and the back of his head
deeply cut. His age was but 16 years
and seven months. The deceasec, was
very highly esteemed and a good living
boy, popular at school and with every-
one who knew hint. The fnneral took
place to Clinton cemetery yesterday
and was largely attended, among those
present being deceased collegiate class-
mates. To the sorrowing and afflicted
parents an open-hearted and sympa-
thetic community will go out to the
greatest possible extent.

whose reputation is well known. Cale
and Strong went to bat and soon put
up a few runs and things looked hope-
ful; however they soon got out the
team and after a hard tussle, was put
out for 88 runs. Clinton sent in Hous-
ton and Barge to hat and they rapidly
put up a dozen runs between them,
and after five wickets had fallen for 36
runs. The stumps were drawn, Clin-
ton winning by 5 wickets, The Mitch-
ell boys are not at all crestfallen but
have reason to he proud of what they
did. The team will go to Clinton short-
ly.
