Greatest Storm on Record. The storms of last week beat the re- cord for thii country. From Tues-lay until Sunday we were pelted by stronij wmds hittini; us from every point of the compans, making the coaiplote circle once in every twenty-four hours, while the iheremomotor danced from ten above to twenty below zero, and dense snow storms blinded the air for hours at a time. On Tuesday the railway gave up the tight and allowed the elements to do their worst. Only one of the country maila-Kimberleyâ€" came in ou Wednesday, the others called it off. The Durham stage from here gut sturinbound at Durham. Seven travellers were forcibly detained here, divided about equally be- tween the two hoteU.

For nearly sixty yeai-s he had lived his solitary life about two miles out of the town, a«- soeiating with none and tvlling no one his stmnge history. As near as can be learned, he was born in Scotland about eighty three years ago. He was tlie son of well-to-do and respectable farmers. He eslisted in the Scot's fituards, but when the Crimean war was breaking out, not caring for the dangers and hardships of war, he deserted and fled to Canada. In his desire to get as far as possible away fi-om arrest he made his way into North Bruce, building a shack near the pi-escnt Wiarton. Sum- mers he spent in railway construction, while the winter v/iui existed through in his little cabin. When the Indian land was sold Bruce secured about 30(J acres, and this he kept UHtil his death. It is also supposed that he had a considerable amount of money in an Owen Sound bank. When he grew too old to care for himself ho wii.s coin- loittcd to the Owen Sound jail, but oven there liis independence showed itself in his determination to pay for his keep. All liis years his dress was very fantas- tic -a cut and style of his own, but when his shack was searched after his death a tine suit of Engli.sli broadcloth of the pat- tern of the early 50's was discovered. It bore the stamp of a Glasgow firm of tailors. As far as known he leaves no relatives of any kind. ; A remarkable coincidence exist? in ' connection with thn family of IVIr. Wm. Monday, who resides on Princess street, ' east hill, (if a family of six nieinlnrs, oonsisting of father, mother and four children every one wa« born on a Tues- day.
