Mrs. Catherine Mcmahon died at the
residence of her daughter, on Spring
creek, Friday 18th. A late issue Of this
paper spoke OF the return OF Mrs. Frank
Mcmahon from a protracted eastern
visit, accompanied by her mother. She
was in feeble health, induced by her
years, 76. and the recent loss OF her
husband. This is double blow to the
daughter, who hoped, in her pleasant
home, to enjoy the closing years OF a
mothers life.

attention was attracted to the ceiling,
and about the pipe fire was discovered.
On going outside, the roof about the
pipe was found in flames. Some time
was lost in trying to subdue the fire, but
it was impossible and very little was
rescued from the building. Aside from
the loss of the building. which was OF
good size and much above the average
OF farm buildings in this country, Mr..
Roberts lost over 200 bu. OF grain which
was stored in one room OF the house

not court the anxieties and the onerous

ming mile in 1851 there are few who
have, through comparison and analysis,
sought to realize what terrific burst Of
speed this is. 1t is nearly forty miles an
hour-a rate averaged by very few of our
fastest trains. There are $3.50 feet in a
mile, so that for every one of these ninety
five seconds-for every beat of mans

$40 feet of ground. The shortest space
Of time noted by the turfman's watch is
