ton was presented requesting the auditor gen

resolution from the Senate to adjourn from

speaker called attention to the possibility
which had been expressed by some that 10 adj

ton was reconsidered and adopted

A FOSSIL RELIC.-Mr Samuel Sim
clair, Lake Winnipeg trader, stated
that one day lately he diverged from the
trail to visit Diem Lake, small sheet of
water north of Lake Winnipeg. When
coasting along the shore he came to a
ledge OF rock which jutted out into the
water, a strange looking projection.
The end of the ledge attracted his at
tention, and he ventured out to see
what it was. To his surprise, he found
it to be the skeleton of large animal,
somewhat resembling buffalo, petri-
fed. The form of the animal is almost
as perfect. Mr.. Sinclair says, As if it
were alive. Mr.. Sinclair has marked
the spot, and intends to return next
spring and remove the relic for the pur-
pose of presenting it to the government
for the geological institution. Toronto

A Startling story.

William Bennett and Barney Dupuis, who
have been fishing on the bay for several days,
arrived in the city this morning. The former
was in his shirt sleeves, ilnG of all the equip
ments taken out by both, they brought back
only their spears and few small articles. They
told the following story of their narrow escape
from o dreadful death, and of the probable fate
of few other fishermen who foated out into
the bay on some loose ice and have not been
seen by them since On Saturday afternoon,
during the heavy gale OF wind, Bennett and
Dupuis were in their fish shanty about opposite
Neamquam Point. Toward evening. while the
wind was blowing the snow about in binding
drifts, the fishermen were suddenly startled by
the sight OF a little strip of something that
looked like water a few feet away in the drec-
ton o. the shore. In an instant they realized
that the ice was drifting away, and that there
was not moment To lose In getting to place
of safety. They accordingly started out In the
direction OF the land, dragging their equip
ments behind them, Bennett not even taking
time to put on his coat. Fortunately the open
ing in the ice was not far from their shanty,
anu they succeeded in leaping over It in safety;
but the shanty and its contents could not be
brought over and had to be left on the bay, to-
gether with their sleigh. They then made
their way TO land and found shelter with some
people living near the shore, arriving In the
city this morning rs before stated. A little east
of their shanty, they say, were two others,
occupied each by couple Of fishermen whose
names they did not know. These shanties
they are certain drifted away, and through the
drifting snow, were soon lost TO view. AS the
occupants OF these shanties were not seen any
where on the ice by the escaped fishermen,
there are grounds for the fear that they were
taken far out on the hay and, In all probability,
met with great suffering and perhaps death
