Batty, Manager i Bear Problem Solved The bear mystery, which has been bothering the citizens west of Ceylo for the past year, has been solved at lasc Last week the supposed bear was again seen around the O.D.R., .\rtemesia, after an absence of about a year, the last time being seen about the Stone's Line. After being view- ed several times it at last was found j among W. R. Meads' sheep and it ' was at once dispatched as a menace. â-  Upon examination it was found to be : a large black dog which had been â-  roaming around the past year. It , was a huge size and could quite eas- , ily have been taken for a bear. Some I other excitement will now have to be hatched up in that section of the township. ST. JOHN'S LADIES AID C.P.R.

Heavy Loss of Sheep The sheep raising industry is not all profit, as shown to us by Mr. W. R. Meads of the O.D.R., Arte- mesia, this week. Recently ten of his sheep gave birth to Iambs that promised great returns. Five of the sheep had triplets, four twins and one sheep had one lamb. Three of the sheep died after giving birth to trip- lets and ten of the lambs also died from various causes. Twenty-four lambs from ten sheep was a record that verj' few can equalâ€" or \^puld wish to equal with losses like those recorded. SCHOOL REI'ORT of 8. S.

STADE, Teacher.- A meeting of the checker players who have been playing in the checker tournament is being held on Tlnws- day night in Mr. Findlay's shop and all are requested to attend. There are a number of games yet to be played and the committee are anxious that the schedule be completed that night. Instead of awarding prizes to the first and second highest scorers in the tournament as at first decided, it has been thought best to have the first four play in the finals. That is the third and fourth men would play off for third place. The winner of that would then play the second high man for second place and the winner of this would then play the original first winner for first place. U. S. S. No. Ifi .4. & G. Class 5 â€" A.

With the sight of both eyes tem- | porarily destroyed and the ingers af his left hand gone, Irvin Graham, ^ aged 23, lies at the General Hospital â-  Guelph, the victim of a peculiar ac- 1 cident at Moorefield. Finding* a dynamite fuse in a car of coal which ' he was hef.ping to unload at the C. N. R. siding in the village, he cui it in two with a crowbar and touch- ed a match to the |fuse. The ex- ' plosion blew off his fingers and. blind- ed him. It is surmised that the fuse was an old one which had been set to ignite a blast in the Pennsly- vania coal mine from which the ship- ment came and which had not fired.
