RuNAwAy.-On Thursday last team
owned by Messrs. Good & Brisbine, which
were left unhitched by the driver. became
frightened and started off on run up AT.
lantic avenue, crossing the track near the
section house and following up the road to
NIessrs. Kenner and Moore's residences.
The horses rushed along at a furious pace
anu GHc Soto iSulinS W VIC uouscS peihe
open the team dashed into the grounds,
and after making turn around Mr.. Ken
ner's residence, came 10 grief and full
stop by running into woven wire fence
which encloses the lawns. Fortunately 10
one was hurt nor any damage done except
to a few trees and the fence, but the fore.
thought of Mr.. Moore undoubtedly saved
an accident, as the children were playing
on the lawn between the houses when Mr..
NJ, who was at the bank when the team
passed, telephoned to the house and the
little ones were got out of harms way, and
not moment too soon either. for they
ware hardly in the house ere the team
rushed through the enclosure.
FUEL.-Our wood dealers have re ceived
notification that the company will furnish
no more maple wood, consequently after
the supply of hard wood now on hand is
exhausted, there will be nothing but mixed
wood for sale. 1t is probable that dealers
will have no difficulty in procuring an
abundance of mixed wood, but it will be
a wise move if they increase their orders
for coal, as many will use the latter article,
for both cooking and heating purposes,
rather than burn soft wood. One thing
more may be said in this connection, and
that is, that as there is large amount of
territory tributary to and dependent upon
this point for fuel supply, liberal sup
ply must be kept on hand and the posi-
bilitY of q scarcity averted. The demand
| for coal will be larger than ever before, as
the consumption of this kind of fuel must
increase rapidly now that we are to be
forced into using it. Keep upyour supply
gentlemen for cold weather will eat big
hole in the heap, and remember you can't
rep!enish the stock in blizzard.
ACCIDENTS Thc harvest field has been
unusually free from accidents to life and
limb in this locality this year, and although
our local has filled up his sand box sharp
ened his lead, and made ready for the Gus
and scenes, yet we are glad to say that, ex-
cept the following, no very serious acct
dents have occurred: On Monday last a
! Mr.. Sanborn, an expert with the Mime
apolis harvester company, while engaged
about machine, carelessly allowed his
hand to be caught under the point of the
needle, in such a manner as to make a Sc.
rious flesh wound The point of the
needle entered the lower part of the hand,
about midway across the wrist tearing the
flesh away from the bones and making an
ugly cash, fortunately doing no peamrnenl
injury. A Mr.. Girard, one of our base
ballists, was also unfortunate, having had
two of his fingers crushed while busy
about a threshing engine. Both of the
victims are progressing finely and will
soon be enabled to attend to their respect
tive duties.
BRICK Y ARD.-Although the enterprising
managers of our brick yard sustained q
partial and heavy loss upon the first kiln
burned, yet they were not discouraged
but on the contrary determined to go right
on and further experiment, with a view OF
definitely deciding by practical experience
whether a durable quality of brick coulG
be manufactured from the clay in this vi
cinity. One or two causes contributed tc
the partial failure of the first kiln, namely
the tempering of the clay and the presence
of small lime stones. The first named
cause could of course be easily over
come by experiment, u few practical test!
was all that would be necessary to demon
strate the quantities of the several ingre
dients, hence any failure from an error O
judgement on this point being readily ane
permanently remedied. The presence o.
the limestone is however serious obsti
Gle, one which must be overcome by som,
process or another, before the brick ar,
durable and success. The second kill
| just burned is about ready to open, and b,
next week we will know for @ certainty a.
to what measure of success has attended
the experiment. 1t is to be hoped goot
durable quality has been obtained, as til,
enterprising proprietors deserve to be re
warded for their persevering enterprise.
u The elevator at Donnelly owned b,
Messrs d. R. Sutherland & Co, of Morris
is now, after having undergonea thorough
and complete overhauling, ready for tn
reception of grain. The house has beef
overhauled from basement to cupola an,
all that experience could suggest in til
shape of practical improvements has beel
added, with view of equipping the hous
30 as to making it equal in every respect t.
the best elevators on the line. Among tn
J. Improvements made we note the replacing
!, of horse with steam power, the addition O
wheat cleaning machinery of the latest i'm
proved pattern, q thorough charging ant
extension of appliances for handling
i which will facilitate the receiving an,
shipment of grain, and thus virtually ii,
