SupPER.-Last evening party compare
lively small in numbers but nevertheless,
of u size sufficient to ensure degree boil
OF success and sociabiiity, assembled q
the Methodist church, and partook of ,
bountiful and elegant repast, prepared by
the Ladies of the society for the occasion
The supper was fully up to the standard o
excellence always maintained ny the ladies
of the congregation, and it is to be regretted
the threatening weather kept many n
homo who had fully intended to b.
present.
An extra train of seven coaches, filled
with Canadian Immigrants for Manitoba
passed up the line Saturday afternoon.
certain missionary for a prominent ST. Pau
wholesale establishment, installing tn,
special for the regular express, was wei
nigh inconsolable because he supposed
himself "laid OUT after having made fran
tic but useless efforts to reach the depot be-

his mistake he smiled" and SO did til.
boys whom he asked TO join him.
BAPTIzED.-A Young man in Jack Nor
ris' employ went out on the lake duck
hunting the other day, and came TO griel
and other moisture instantcr. The gun
was evidently loaded for bear, for at the
first shot boy and gun were landed in the
water some distance from the skiff. 1t is
supposed the charge went in the usual di-
rection, but of this We have no positive
proof, us their was no duck to show for It,
but we do know that boy and gun made a
retrograde movement, as the latter has no,
| been seen since.
AccIDENT.-The foreman on Mr.. G. M
Giltinan's farm, Rodey, had the misfortune
to dislocate an arkle Saturday night. l,
appears that while going home, the team
he was driving was close behind another,
they were making lively time, when the
tongue of the front wagon dropped from
the mock yoke and striking the ground
brought the wagon to o sudden stand still.
A collision occurred and Rodey was thrown
to the ground, sustaining rather serious
injury which will place him on the retired
list for few weeks
Orders have been is ued to send all emp
ty cars west, and no wheat will be shipped
from any of the elevators on this line for
the present. The reason for this order is
that the western branch lines are rs ys,
unsupplied with grain houses, and the
farmers have been compelled to draw Their
wheat to the stations and leave it piled up
in sacks for lack of storage or transporta.
ton facilities AS the grain was thus OK.
posed 10 injury by rain, the company felt
compelled to take this step. 1t will help
the settlers in that new country and work
no injury to US as we have as yet ample
storage capacity.
Too BaD.-A well; authenticated rumor
reaches us that sick man named Row
land, a county charge, and who is at
farm house in Framness, has through
bungling attendance sustained injuries
which may prove serious if not fatal. BY
some blunder, the sick mans chest and
back were burned by the application of
over,heated irons while he was suffering
flom fever chill. The burn on the back
is as large as the palm of mans hand,
and from it's size, situation and severity
blood poisoning is likely to ensue, the
muscles of the back atfording opportunity
for the secretion Of pus which is liable to
be absorbed into the system.
PoIsoSING-A case OF poisoning &C.
Cured south of town last week, and mar
rowly escaped being attended with fata!
results. 1t appears that two of Mr.. John
Ryans children were taken suddenly and
seriously i'll after having eaten of what
they supposed to be carrots, but which Oh
investigation proved to lie. the dangerous
and deadly wild parsnip. AS the symp-
toms showed poisoning, medical assistance
was Immediately summoned, and it was
only by the prompt administration Of anti
dotcs that the children's lives were saved,
the smaller child of the two being in con
vulsions before the doctor arrived. 1t will
be we'll to warn parents of the fact that
parsnips left TO grow wild become very
poisonous, and cam only be used for food
when grown from The seed, rs if left in
the ground they will grow again i'll the
spring, and injurious effects almost always
follow the use of the second crop.
