It is not a pleasant .sensation, while sleeping soundly in your stateroom on our great lakes, to be awakened fro.ii deep slumber by a bump, bump, scrape and bump, not knowing whether you are one or twenty miles from laiid, and supposinij that you are on the rocks. This was ;ho Advance man's experience last week. The steamer Windsor loft Little Current bstweep 9 and 10 o'clock Tuesl.ay ni^ht . A heavy tliunder storm wan raging ovt r tho water and the night was black as ink. When about five miles from the Currtnt, and one iiii'.e south of Strawberry l>Kbl, the vessel ran into a large raft of loo,<; which hail beenleft in the steamboat chan- nel wiihout proper lights. She crossed the lirst booiu logs and wormed her wajr t!iroui(li the raft to the opposite siilu' where she stuck. The crow got out a life- boat and rowed back to Little Current where a tng was secured and the Windsor was released with milder bruken oll'above water line, one flange of her wheel gone and another damaged. The tug was ordered to bring her to Owen .Sound and essayed to do so, but Wediioi-day niuht, while crossing the channel not far from Lonely l-tlanil, the tug's machinery be- came disabled and fr.un that on the dis- abled steamer towed tho tng, while tho tug stoored the whole outfit. It was a choice experience, but one that would not liear repeating very frequently in ours, tliauk you.

In the business of the transportation of cattle to the western market the railway mar- ket has praetieally no competition, and tha shippers claim that in the eli'ort to maintain this innnopoly tho company has discouraged in every possible manner the ciinsigninent of cattle to the Junction yards. When tho Union Stock Yards opened, tho raihviiycompany llatly refused to receive consignments to this market, but this .'iction was disallowed by Hon. A. G. Blair, the Minister of ]{.til,,ays, tu whom thesUiipper and the owners of the Junction yards appealed. A few days ago we were shown a vary strong evidence of h.jw fires saimotnnes originate from a "cause unkno.vn." J'din Livingston had been up to Dornoch, and ^vhile speaking to Mereh.'int Hunt be was shown a box nf inatches. .The briins'ono was burned froiri every niiilch in the bnx, and as the matches were of ihe kind that goes oil' with a flash, they may have bjon frightened away. Ir, was fortunate, h.>»v,-- evar, fur Mr. Hunt l;bat the wliolo place didn't uo up in sinnke, A cireiim.-ttauce like this will seta person thinking, and to us it seems a teiniirlerof the necessity of keeping ina olies away frmn -inicp, in a metallic box or lit her safe place. We ex- iimined the box and have Mr. Hunt's testimony as to tho genuineness of the occurrence, â€" Durham Chronicle, Sam uelSinitn, a respectable mail ofab'Ut OOyeais, was l he victim of a terrible ac- accidenl-, which took place on the out- skirts of v)weii Souiirl on iVIonday, He was hauHngI a load of Uunber w ith a hoi'se and WBgou and was gcrjngdown tho bill when lln; accident happened.
