The old ''Delineator," which used to
look like and was about as interesting

was then almost solely a catalogue, now

has the patterns as always. Every lady
should have it.

Burns, the other victim of the railway
accident at Bathgate, of which we gave
an account last week, died the following
day. It is stated that there was pile o.
cinders on the crossing, which was to be
used to repair the crossing, and the team
stopped, apparently frightened at the
pile, and then started again, but just go1
far enough to leave the buggy on the
track when the engine struck it. A new
tank building also INSTRUCTED the view,
and witnesses declare that the train was
running very fast. If these things be al
true, there will be good grounds fol
damage suits against the railway.
The body of Joseph Birch, son of Jas
Birch, of Hamilton, was expected to ar
rive there yesterday for interment. The

where they have accumulated fortunes.
Joseph Birch is reported to have beer
killed by accident while out hunting. Sic
Birch, a brother, has been at home fol
some time visiting. Much sympathy is
expressed for the bereaved parents anc
relatives at this sad and sudden bereave
ment.
