four years Of age, was instantly
killed in the town of Dayton last
Thurspay, by falling tree. 1t seems
that the tree he was cutting lodged
against another one, and while cut
ing this one down, the first one sud-
denly fell, and in its descent caught
him before he could make his escape
crushing hin to the earth. His neck
and both legs and arms were broken,
and he was otherwise horribly crush
ed and mangled. The tree had to
be cut away before his body could
be removed. He was buried at

read by all classes, at home and
abroad, and there is scarcely an
individual in the land whose patron
age is worth influencing who does
not take or read newspaper, or who
may not be directly appealed to by a
well-advised advertisement. Our

effective means for securing a wide
recognition of the merits of their
goods than the most energetic and
successful salesman they can engage.
Ceaselessly at work, it addresses
thousands each day in the interest Of
the advertiser, and is a persistent
canvasser whose solicitations it is
impossible to escape.-Exchange

dangerously il, and younger broth

on account of the snow blockade

and was unable to reach bis destina-

, 1t seems that William Consalus,
conductor on the |. G. r. r., has
