Robt. Ferguson and Robt. Hunt were

Last Sunday evening an excursion
train consisting of ono hand cur with
gentlemen and ladies as passengers, went
down the track OH pleasure bent. After
a while another party started out OH an.
other hand car to also take in the even
ing air. But unfortunately the train de.
spatcher did not hold the first train on
its homeward trip, and the two lcm
cars met while going at full speed. The
cars stopped, the passengers kept on, for
a little distance, until they reached the
grade. Results, a badly cut head,
sprained knee, Inconsistencies, concus-
SIGN, and bruises too numerous to par
ticularize. All doing we'll at present.
Everybody happy that it was no worse.
No cards.
The great law suit OH the question Of
whether the old stage road comes under
the clause which makes roads in use for
twenty years public highway, comes
up before Justice Emerson on Tuesday.
There is not much doubt that the road
has been in use that long asa trail. The
stage only commenced running in 1872,
however, and the surveyors plats show
that when surveyed the road ran at
some distance from its present location.
The principal point is. that for a long
period, within the twenty years, the
trail was OH government land which fol
q long time was even unsurveycd, and
there are decisions to the effect that the
twenty years. use of land rs a highway
does not apply OH government land, as
that is practically all highway when in
that condition.

IF we had series of maps shaded SO as to
show the population we should see the
black central spot OF London getting big
ger and bigger-the wen which Goblet detest-

portentous in size, butthough the black spot
grew bigger, yet its center grew lighter and
lighter and by the ce:ie is not meant tfat
strictly 1fimted area called the city, but
something more ike What London was
when the century began. Take, IN fact,
the area occupied by the mas of those 95S

grown so enormously in population and IN

rest of the kingdom, its rate Of increase has
not been at all CONNIE surate with that OF
