Last Friday serious and nearly
fatal accident occurred at the Weather
wax mill at Aberdeen. While giging
back the pony-saw carriage, a silver
caught in some way, throwing the cant
over against the saw, breaking it as
we'll as the saw arbor, belts and other
machinery around there. Sawyer
Johnny Boyer noticed the mishap and
reversed the lever, but was struck down
by flying piece of machinery, which
also reversed the lever again. Boyer
managed to reach his feet again and
stopped the carriage. He was taken
to his room and soon recovered, and is
around again, as if nothing had hap
pened. One piece of the flying saw
imbedded itself about IL inches in the
butt of q solid fir log, and had to be
chopped out.

Byrne asked whether 10 per cent.
reduction had been made on the of.
hcers' salaries on account OF being
paid in cash, and stated that he would
not vote for the adoption of the report
until such reduction was made. Alter
a general discussion a motion by Lane
was passed, TO the effect that elective
officers be paid from the current ex-
pense fun d at reduction of 10 per
cent. from their fixed salaries. The
report was then amended so that the
officers pay roll was made ten per
Cent. less, in which shape it was &C.
Copied.
If this action can be justified by the
plea of necessity, it seems strange it
should not be made to apply to all
bills. The salaries of the several Of
ficers, fixed by ordinance, are as much
q matter of contract as any other de-
mand.

be expected considering the busy season of

brother. Our Grange will entertain Albion
Grange Thursday, Oct. 18th, the day set for
their union meeting. A good time is ex-
pected, and as Albion Grange contains many
practical farmers, much benefit may be de-
rived from the Interchange of ideas between
the members Of the two Oranges. Through
some oversight the Fair was not reported,
but we think the Grange has reason to be
satisfied with it. Although perhaps not
quite equal to last year it was better than
many town fairs we have seen. The attend
anee was large and more orderly crowd is
seldom seen. One thing We did not like, and
that was the numerous side shows, etc. 1t
seems strange that intelligent people will
patronize such things when if asked to assist
some worthy object they will refuse.
