The Water Power Improvement.

We are enabled to stats positively, that ac-
tive work on the water power has been COM
menced. The contract for the stone has been
let, and the contractor is now getting it out
and will commence delivering it on the ground
within few days. Arrangements have also
been made for the timber and other material,
the delivery Of which upon the ground will be
commenced forthwith. The stakes are also stuck
for the head race and other needed excavation,
upon which work will be commenced without
delay. There is no if nor and about this Tie
york Is going ahead! and in less than year,
unless the elements should be exceptionally ad-
verse, Ottawa will hear the music of the water
pouring over that dam.
There have been delays, doubtless; but if
people generally were acquainted with the na-
ture and amount of preliminary work that was
necessary, and the peculiarly difficult and un-
manageable character of much of that work, they
would be able to realize that the delay in the
commencement of active work, of which there
has been so much complaint, was much less
without excuse than has been imagined

ACcIDESTs.-Last week We had an unusual
number of accidents in this vicinity. Mr.. JOS
eph Gruber, young man living near South OF
tawa, WAS topping out a stack of hay, when the
stack fell. A pitchfork was standing in the
ground, and he fell upon the handle, which en-
tered his posterior parts, lasceratng him in fear
full manner. At last accounts it was thought he
could not survive his injuries.
On Monday last, Thomas Provence, who lives
few miles south of this city, while carelessly
handling revolver, iisch arged the contents into
his leg. He was standing on bridge, and while
looking into the river discovered some FISH dis
porting themselves therein. Hastily drs wing
his revolver, thinking to shoot one, and attempt.
ing to raise the hammer, still watching the fish,
his thumb slipped and the pistol exploded, the
ball entering his left leg in the edge OF the groin
thence passing downward nearly to the knee. Dr.,
Stout and Dyer, on consultation, deemed an az
tempt to extract the ball as involving more dan
ger TO the patient than its presence, as no bone,
were broken and no artery was cut. At last ac.
counts he WAS doing as well as could he ex-
pected.
Recently IA couple Of farmers, living near Har.
ding, got into row about some calves owned
by one getting into the premises OF the other
The man who owned the calves came to the 9th.
or's field to get them. The latter having shut
them up demanded pay for their trespassing
Words ensued. The owner of the field ordered
the other to leave, and then drew a revolver
The owner of the calves, thinking he could pro.
tect himself with his hand, as the revolver WI,
discharged the ball entered his hand and passed
half way up his arm. DR.. Hathaway extracted
it and thinks all is well.
On the day Of the late republican convention,
Mr.. Alex. Rowe, of Mission, while on his way to
attend the meeting, met with serious mistor-
tune. HIS horses ran away. He turned them
into fence to stop them, when they Jumped
over it and threw him out. His right hand was
horribly crushed. He is 55 or 60 years of age,
consequently will be some time in getting
well, If lie ever does.
