the same length. Some people tell us
they would like to have "old rye" as
"long" as this.
".' COUNTY RATE HIGHER.—The coun-
ty.rate will be higher this year than it
was in 1896, partly owing to a deficit
last year. The rate this year will be
1 , mills on the dollar on an equalized

the rate wash mills on the dollar.

r.. days afterwards, however, she found
rft,-the contents being undisturbed.
,+DSD NOT TAKE IT.—Hotel-keeping is
either losing its attractiveness or its
hotel

i r ofthe Collegiate Board of Trustees was
• held on Friday evening. All the teach-
: :
Sz,>
ers were re-engaged for next year,
Miss Topping and Mr Treleaven at an
'increase of salary of $50 each. Minton
Collegiate has a fine staff of teachers,
;::;and it is wisdom to retain them where-
t:ever possible.
NEW PAPER.—We are in receipt
the first number of a new paper is -
hued at Hope, in the Kootenai Mining
,.country, and we presume it is sent us
'snore particularly because it is named
,,:"The New Era." It is not large, but it
gi-is bright and newsy, and our wish is
• that it may become as large and pros-
perous as its Clinton namesake.
r` BUILDINGS. --A stone foundation is
Sbeing built beneath Mr T. Holloway's
,,; house. Mr T. Walker has the contract
for similar work under the house of
"house of Mr R. McLeod. Hiram Hill

i,, ess Street. Mr R. Moore, Ratten-
ury St. is making quite an addition
to his house,

CONVICTIONS.—For the quarter end-
- ing with June, the convictions by the

trary to , law. The total amount o

says;—R. W. Bro. Dr. Shaw, of Clin-
ton, D. D. G. M. of South Huron Mas•
onic district, paid an official visit to
Irving Lodge, Liman on Tuesdayeve
when the working of the lodge w
• vilified by W. M, Bro. W. Elwood
1a officers. After adjournment,
'tor was entertained at lunch
een's. where a pleasant boo
ent. The District Deputy mad
t favorable impression on th
rs of Irving lodge, who will b
to meet him again.
Woni.--Some of the path
-
ain the townships are making
d: roads bad, by covering their goo
vel road with .what is little better
an dried out mud and then putting
food gravel on top of that, which i
`:according to best principles of making
ggod roads bad. There are certain
principles that must be observed i
makin�{{ roads, and the first is drain-
. age. Hauling on gravel and dumping
it.into the mud, without drainage, is
imply burying money in a hole. And
the putting on of loose gravel in June,
just because the farmers have a little
spare time in that month, spoils the
roads for the whole summer, as nearly
every driver takes the side of the road
tD avoid the gravel.
Road Commissioner Ainsley was in
town on 'Wednesday inspecting the
London road 1 i idge. He states that it
is as well built and secureasany bridge
under ordinary circumstances.

THE HAY CROP.—Very soon the far
mer will be called upon to tackle hi
hay crop, and we judge that it. will b
an exceptionally heavy one. We form
our conclusions from the fact that la
Friday we gathered our own hay crop
off a half acre lot. A friend had kindly
cut it for us and there did not look to;
be much hay laying about, but by th
time we had gathered it all, we felt a
if we had lifted one hundred thousand
pounds,
day, of the death of Henry Hincbley,
of Montana. He was former resident
of ullett, and was the eldest brother
- of Mr Geo. Hinchley. We have no fur-

year, piano, taking honors in both. We
congratulate Miss McHardy on her suc-
cesson passing pupils.
Mr White, of Hornellsville, N. Y.,
was here last week, and purchased
nine thorq-bred sheep from Mr James
Snell, of Hayne -Barton stock farm. A
year ago Mr White bought. some sheep
from the same party, and attended
nearly twenty fairs in his state, sweep-
ing everything before him, and having
sold his last year's importations, he
corse over for more. Mr Snell also
sold a fine ram lamb to two Galt far-
mers on Monday.

ACCIDENTS —On Saturday afternoon
a son of Mr S. Wilson was thrown
head over heels from the back of a
horse, end landed up against a fence,
but fortunately he sustained no injury,
Dave Stewart, brother of Geo. Stew-
art of'town, fell off an arch atSeaforth
and got shook up.
Mrs. John Tedford was thrown from
her buggy on Monday, and pretty se-
verely bruised. .
Mr John Sheppard was thrown from
a waggon on Monday, and bas since
been confined to his room.
While Mr Homer Andrews was us-
ing a heavy land roller on Saturday
he had his nephew, Clifford, son of Mr
Jerome Andrews, riding beside him,
and had his arm around him to hold
him on. The tongue broke and threw
the child out in front of the roller, Mr
Andrews falling behind, and the roller
passed over the child. • Some st
e 1 that had'been on the roller fell under-
neath it as it passed over the child,
and it is likely due to this fact that the
child was not killed, as the stones took
the weight off it. As it was,Clifford had
au arm broken, and for some time it
was feared had also sustained internal
injuries, but we are pleased to state
that is not the case.
°- A runaway accident occurred on
as Saturday afternoon which was attend-
ed with bad results, but the wonder is
that it was not fatal to the three aepar-
ties concerned in it. The wife 01 Mr
r Robert Craig, of the London road, who
e bad been doing some business in town,
e started for home, having her own
e daughter, aged about nine years, and
Mrs James Nott in the rig with ber.
Mrs Craig is a good driver, and the
horse began to act a little skittish be-
fore it reached the railroad track, be-
coming unmanageable after it passed
that point, and running away. M'r
eJames Nott was coming up the hill
this horselde of the wa going down, land endeavor-
edd
n to stop it, but unsuccessfully, the
result being that he got locked in the
wheels of his own and had two of
his ribs fractured. riThe horse continu-
ed on its run, and hadjust reached
the south end of the ondon road
bridge when it swerved and fell. .on
its knees against the right side of the
bridge; here it remained a few seconds,
when it struggled up, and plunged
over the side carrying the rig and oc-
cupahts with it, although the waggon
hung balanced a moment on the bridge.
Mrs Nott fell from the rig as it drop-
ped, and turning a somersault, landed
on her hip. The horse struck im-
mediately under the bridge, the
waggon striking on the ground at the
side, and the other occupants all being
thrown out when it struck. The drop
was about 25 feet, and it is probably
due to the fact that the rig did not
turn over, that the occupants were not
instantly killed. Assistance was im-
mediately at hand and tenderly the
parties were laid out until an ambul-
ance could be secured and them taken
home. At first it was supposed all
were very seriously injured, but it was
found on a careful examination that
the injuries, while serious, could easily
have been much worse. We Craig
had her arm dislocated; Mrs Nott her
thigh broken, while the child escaped
unhurt, beyond slight bruises. The
back of the horse was broken, and it
died very soon after the accident. It
was a miraculous escape throughout,
as neither the shafts or harness was
broken, and a couple of dollars will -
Cay for the injury to the waggon. Mrs
raig wishes us to state that she will
not this -week be able to deliver butter
to her customers, as usual, but theq'
A CASE OF IMAGINATION.—Our re-
ference last week to Mr Morris, of Col-
borne, reminds a town reader of an in-
dent that occurred away back in the
life; of "gran'thather" Morris. The
eons were underbushing, the old gen-
tleman Would help them. In cutting
a sapling the axe glanced and struck
him on the foot, causing him to fall to
the ground, crying out with the inten-
t;•::, ^city of the agony caused by the mis-
`; hap. Tenderly the boys took their
har+dkerchiefs and bound them round
the injured foot to keep out the cold
and staunch the bleeding. Then they
made a litter of poles and branches
and laid their reverend grandsire upon
it and bore him to the house, he, mean-
while, living vent in moans to the ex-
? &uciating pain caused by the injury,
and;the Unavoidable jolting incidental
to walking over rough ground by the
he Were. Arrived at the house they
peroceeded to remove the boot from the
ot, but the slightest pull at the foot-
wear bought forth from the wearer
unearthly shrieks of pain. Finally
the'bo¢t.Wiss cut away piecemeal,when
the,,astoitishing revelation was made
