A shocking accident happened -at

resulted in his son Bert loosing his

near the shoulder. The lad, who is
about ten years of age, undertook to
throw the windmill out of gear and in
doing so his mit got caughb in a rivet
on the shaft which swung him about,
broke his arm near the shoulder and
smashed hat the elbow. The doctor
was speedily summoned and soon
appeared upon the scene but the in-
juries were of so severe a, nature that
amputation was the only •resort. The
lad is now doing as well as ' pan
be expected. This is the second of
Mr. Wise's sons to meet 'with a seVere

couple of fingers some months ago.

cil's smartness at the Wilson reception
at Holtnesville. I am sure that the
people .of the township were proud of
the manner in which their representa-
tives addressed the meeting. The spee-
ches of .the township fathers were big
chuuks of eloquence, The clerk had to
make up the program as he went along
and to act as interpreter for them.
Now, 1 am going to tell you nbout the
contemptible and lying report that

to defeat me. It was said that twits

Toronto, Jen. 15—Ohlef inetiCe Mere-
dith sustained his reputation for sweep-
ing aside technicalities in a judgment
in the diyision court this morning. Mr.
McPherson, formerly teacher in The
borne township, Huron who had
been got, rid of bemuse the trustees
wanted to engage a cheaper teacher,
was suing to get $100 of salary. The
school trustees in their defence claim-
ed that they should not pay because
the agreement with McPherson did
not bear the corporate seal of the board
and WAS not entered into the minutes.
The Chief Justice this morning lee -
tared. the board representatives for
entering such a plea and said the law
WAS net so absurd as to defeat Stietice
by taking cognizance of such techni-
calities. The teacher gets his money.

Mr. J. F. Staples of Constance has
been appointed' assessor of Ilutlett.
There were, we hear, eight applicants
and so a hot chase for the position and
the fact of Mr. Staples being chosen
would implythat the TownshipFathers,
or the Majority of them' a,t all events,
have confidence in his ability to value
with good judgment and impartially.
He was assessor three years ago so will
have no apprentice work to do,
Mr. Thomas .Hast • of the Gravel
Road is, without doubt, the oldest
brickmaker in Huron. • He began
when he was thirteen years old and
has been at it for fifty-eight years so
that his age may be readily guessed.
He had previous experience in Toronto
and elsewhere and during the Crimean
War started a yard in Clinton. Those:
%vete the days of top-notch prices but
when peace was • brought about stag-
nation in trade ensued. Me. Easb was
caught with a kiln of 200,000 bt•ick and
the price dropped from $18 to $5 with
even a slow, sale at that priee. 'The
blow was at that time a severe one but
Mr. East weathered it all eight and has
continued in business ever since.
Mr. S. Appleley had a wood bee last
week at which a laege amount of 'wood
was cut. Among those who excelled
themselves with the saw were Messrs.
Griffiths and Johnston who are a hard
pair to beat. Money or marbles, any
amount or any number, as the case
maybe, seers so.
