we copy from the iStatesman:
Another warning of the danger of
coasting was afforded on Saturday by
the serious injury to Mr.. James p.
Engle, an old and respected citizen
of the town. He was walking on
Union Hill when he was struck by a
sled with a boy on it, dashing at
lightning speed down the hill. Mr..
Engle was thrown violently to the
ground and so seriously hurt that he
remained in an unconscious state for
several days and is even now in a
critical condition.
On last Friday evening, at the bu-
rial of Mr.. Charles Zimmerman, Mr..
Henry Bayles received severe
wound on the head. The earth was
frozen so that it was found necessary
to use pick to loosen it. Mr.. An
drew Rhodes was doing so, and Mr..
Bayles was using shovel to assist in
filling the grave, he slipped on the
frozen ground and fell just as the
pick was descending, catching the
blow upon his head. The point of
the pick penetrated the skull, inflict-
ing a severe and dangerous wound.
Atr. Baylcs is however doing we'll,
and in q fair way to recover.

$20,000000, compared with the CORE

A "REMINISCENCES OF ARNOLD.
Land Granted Him I'm Canada "FOr
Variaus Public Services"

A correspondent of The Toronto
Globe hes been investigating the loca-
ton OF the lands in Canada granted
10 Benedict Arnold 'for various pub
lie services, y in 1898, and comes to the
conclusion that the 10, 400 acres in
question were situated, in part at
least. in Gwillimbury, in the north
ern part of the county of York, in
Ontario. In Arnolds will, made IN
August, 1900, which is registered at
Newmarket, county of York, the land
is described as "a grant of Is, 200
acres of land made TO MIN as a half
pay officer for himself and family, by
order of the duke of Portland, by his
letter directed to Peter Russell, Esq,
president of the council of Upper
Canada" In other wills made by the
Arnold family, also registered at
Newmarket, mention is made several
times of a grant of 10000 acres in
Upper Canada, but these lands are
not otherwise described, and their
location has not been generally
known. In his will Arnold also
mentions lands in New Brunswick, "
but the will is sworn as being under
84,000 In il he leaves money to his
sons Richard and Henry, both Of
whom were under age, Ito build and
stack their farm in Canada, where
they were at that time.
In the marriage settlement OF his
daughter Sophia, who was welded in
India, in 1918, to a captain IN the
English service, mention is made Of
his share OF 500, 900 acres of land in
Upper Canada, granted to the late
Brig. Gen. Benedict Arnold during
his lifetime by his majesty for various
public services" In the wills and
other documents of the various other
children-George Arnold, major IN
the Bengal cavalry, William Fitch
Arnold, a half-pay captain of the
British service; James Robertson
Arnold, lieutenant colonel in the
royal corpse of engineer, and Shipper
and Edward Arnold there is no des-
cripton or location of the land other
wise than Sin Upper Canada.
The idea that the land IN Gwllllm'
bury was part of the original grant is
confirmed by the location of 5000
acres in East and North Gwilhmbury
in 1922, and it is probable that the
rest was never located. In 1924
Daniel Coke. the surviving executor
of the original wills, decided portions
of the Gwillimbury lands TO threeSof
the sons; but no meRtion is made OF
any other lands belonging to the
estate. The heirs had now multiplied
to 16; and in 1864, by order of the
court Of queens bench in Toronto, the
Gwillimbary lands were surveyed,
valued, and divided among them.
