This aroused his curioisity very much and he proceeded to investigate. Secur- ing a spade he dug down fifteen or eighteen inches when he unearthed the object which has aroused so much interest., It is an irreguar mass of what is apparently pure melted lead or silver or a combination of both, and embedded in it are five stones.

Mr. Sam Osborne commenced exca- vating the cellar for his new residence â- on Toronto street on the lot he rec- *ntly purchased from G. B. Welton. Rev.

Rains and winds of hurricane veloc- ity have characterized the past week. Sunday night heavy ice was formed. Any person who had tender stuff out would regret it. Mrs. Lewis Pedlar of Rock Mills who was so dangerously ill that her life was despaired of, is now beyond danger and able to sit up for a few hours at a time. Her many friends will be much pleased to learn of her recovery. Dr. Burt, specialist in diseases of the ear, eye, nose and throat, will be at the Munshaw House, Flesherton, for consultation on Wednesday, May 28th, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eyes tested and glasses supplied split in two, a broken half being clasp ed by the metal. The whole mass weighed ten pounds, and the biggest half of this is pure metal. Mr. Raper had heard no sound and was at a complete loss to account for his visit- or. The hole had a slant of probably 40 or 50 degrees, Mr. Raper says, and appeared to have come from the West. If so it must have narrowly escaped the roof of his residence in order to land where it did. Here is the theory of the mystery as we read it : On Thursday night before the people of Owen Sound were awakened by a loud explosion in the middle of the night and there was much speculation as to the cause, but it was finally decided that it must have been a bursting meteor. "The explosiion, according to one who was just going to bed, was pre- ceded by a noise like the sound of escaping steam, and the explosion itself was loud and heavy. A dull light lit the sky for a short time after the noise was heard. Many were awakened, and some even got up from bed to see if any serious damage had been done." One does not require to stretch their imagination in order to understand how a bursting metallic meteor could Mrs. (Rev.)

Recently the flesh has fallen away between the thumb and the rest of his hand, and the hand and fingers feel weak and numb. Last week Ed. went to "Toronto to see a doctor about it, who informed him that a cord had been broken in the arm through some injury, and did not hold out much hope for a cure. curiosity and Mr. Raper prizes it highly. Possibly, later on, other rem- nants of this remarkable meteor will be discovered. "Hod's ihis," asked the lawyer. You've named six bankers in your will to be pallbearers. Of course it's all right, but wouldn't you rather choose some friends with whom you are on better terms?" "No, Judge, that's all right. Those fellows have carried me so loni?, they mght as well finish the job."

He is at present resid- ing at Dresden. y Following the completion of general business, as it was the regular meet- ing of the Lodge, the work of the First Degree was exemplified by Wor. Bro. • A.

Blackwell in a most inspiring and eloqucnc manner, mak- ing reference to the wonderful pro- gress Masonry had made during the past few years in Ontario; to its ben- evolences, which are carried on in an effective but unostentatious manner. His address was one which will not soon be forgotten by those present. Visiting brethren from Owen Sound, Teeswater, Dundalk. Mai-kdale and Durham responded to a toast to the visitors. Community singing was enjoyed between toasts and a bass solo was splendidly rendered by Mr. W. B. A. Cross, and another musical number was a guitar duet by Messrs. Wes. Armstrong and F. W. Bunt. A hearty vote of thanks was given to the ladies for the bountiful repast which was prepared and to the mus- icians for the delightful music rend- ered. The Junior Warden's toast brought to a close a very profitable and enjoyable evening. ^^ft \^^ ^^^~^^r *V "^ "W *â- " "^^ "B' "^ "^ ''^ ^ "^ "^ 'â- " 'â- '' â- "â- " â- *â- ' â- "•' '•' "â- " "^ â- "•" 'â- " "â- ' "^ ""^^ '^^ ^^H § The Peoples^ Grocery | I AND ICE CREAM PARLOR f « J «» 5 BARS STANDARD SOAP 25c.
