The Mansion Star in its last number
says that ga probably fatal accident
occurred at Werner, last Sunday.
Two young men named Street and
Bulls had been out hunting, and on
returning to the village, Streets gun
was accidentally discharged, the shot
striking Bulls in the abdomen,
making a fearful wound. He is
under the care of DR.. Townsend, of
New Lisbon. but it is hardly probable
that he will recover"

eMontana Letter.

Mr.. EDITOR. am sure the
readers of your worthy journal will
be pleased to hear from Montana and
the "far west' and know of her
progress, resources and growth
whether they contemplate migrating
to the border of the
celebrated National Park or remaining
at home. Inasmuch as Montana is a
part of our great Commonwealth and
contains vast fields of latent wealth,
all your readers will take mutual,
patriotic pride in learning of her vast
ness, her industries and the treasures
Of her, who is yet to be the Mountain
State. Delegates are to be elected in
November, who will meet the first
Wednesday in January, at Helena,
the Territorial Capital to consider her
statehood, and organize preparatory to
admission as the fortieth state. Since
the completion of the Northern Paci-
fc Railroad the influx of the citizens
of all classes is simply amazing, every
branch of business has its representa-
tives from the East, South and Nerth.
Northern Idaho, Washington and
Oregon can make similar boasts, a
general boom prevails along the line.
On either side of the Railroad cities
in embryo are neatly plated out with
splendid squares, for parks and public
buildings, and many promise to be
excellent towns in the near future.

CANADA's LARGEST LIGHE
Warning Vessels or the Rocks or Grand
Manan In the Bay Of FnndY.

The island Of Grand Manan lies like huge
bolt across the Bay OF Fundy. Frightful
storms have tried In vain winter after winter
to unrivet It, When the fog which usually wells
the island from early spring to midsummer
lifts. line OF bold. precipitous cliffs is re-
vealed. all the darker and more forbidding for
the dense forest OF pines running almost from
end to end. This forest is an important fea-
ture in the landscape. 1t gives 1t life. Tho
cliffs are stern and immovable. but there Is
always motion among the pines.
A vessel which is hurled upon Grand Manan
or its outlying islets and ledges in wintry
storm Is usually q total wreck In the course OF
an hour or less. Few lives are saved from
these wrecks. The men either perish in tho
cold water or are dashed TO death on the rocks.
Each years record Of casualties at sea contains
accounts Of several shipwrecks on Grand
Manan. Its shores are the more treacherous
because at points the doop water runs up to
the very base OF tho cliffs. The Bay of Fundy
is the grave Of many ship and crew. and
| Grand AIanan their tombstone. No wonder the
largest light in the Dominion is on this island.
This light is the most famous light in the
