Concert. â€" The concert given last Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society of Christ Church was a grand success. The progam was lengthy and ably sustain- ed many of the renderings were really excellent. We would like to give amore extended notice but time and space compells brevity. OuB esteemed friend, Will. Eutledge, left on Saturday to take a situation on the Fort William paper. W^ill. is a good typo, and has rare abilities as a job printer, and besides is a young man of excellent morals and enviable social qualities. He served his apprenticeship in this oflce, and we therefore the more earnestly wish him success. It is a well known fact that a Cough cannot exist after using West's Cough Syrup.

Close Call. â€" On Saturday evening last about ten o'clock. Bud Mathews was on his return, it is said, after seeing his girl home in the village, and when near Trimble's store, he was startled by a pistol shot, the buUett grazing his head Whether it was an accident, or done maliciously through jealousy is not known, neither is there any suspicion as to who did it. Alfbid Moffat went to Toronto last week, as stated in the Stamdasd, to consult an optician, and we exceed- ingly regret that it was found neces- sary to remove the lett eye altogether. His right eye is not seriously affected by the loss of the other. His brother Thomas accompanied him to the city and during the operation. Alf. is one of our most promising young men, and has the sympathy of the com- munity. This is supposed to be definition of "dude" as it will appear in the new revised edition of Webster â€" "Dude," n. [Sometimes written Dodo.J The name applied tc a breed of dandy puppies, indigenous to the United States. The dude is generally slim legged, and not unequent long-eared. Easily distinguished by the hghtuess of its head. Can be trained to fetch and carry a cane. The dude is harmless. In reference to the sad accident whieh happened to Alfred Moffat on Good Friday there appears to be a wrong impression abroad as to who fired the gun, many thinking it was the boy Alf. himself. The facts, as far as we can learn, are as follows: John- ston Wilson, son of Eev. A. Wilson, came into the foundry with a small breech-loading rifle with part of breech off. He got the trigger filed as he wanted, and while going out he put in a cartridge and fired before he got outside the premises. Alf. had fol- lowed to the door and was struck in the eye by a portion of the cartridge All was done so quickly that no one in the shop knew Wilson was going to fire or had cartridge on his person. Owen Sound, May 10, â€" This morn- ing about 2 o'clock a fire occurred in a small frame building on Division street, owned by John Patton. Be- fore the flames could be extinguished the building was totally destroyed. There were four young men sleeping up-stairs in the house at the time, one of whom: Henry Archer, a shoemaker, lost his life. A young man Peter Bruce, who was a room-mftte of Archer, was badly burnt in making his escape. The other two barely escaped with their lives having to jump from a back window, leaving their elothes behind.. The cause of the fire is unknown. There was a small insurance on the contents of the building in the Citizens' Mer- cantile Insurance Company. JOTTINGS FROM ABROAD- CONDKHSID FKOM OUB EXOHAKGU AND ' OTHkBWISE.

A Sensation.â€" Last Saturday morning quite a sensation was caused in town over a report that got pretty widely circulated to the effeet that Joseph Bamsay had been seriously assaulted the night previous on his way home from Keppel by unknown men, who had fired three shots at him On enquiry it was found that Bamsay had received a bullet wound in the arm, but nothing serious was appria- hended from its effects. Since it baa transpired that the probabilities are that Bamsay must have shot himself by an accidental discharge of his re- volver, as no clue could be traced as to the perpetratois. Joe, however, maintains that he was taken for a detective and sbot by Keppelites. The prevailing opinion is, however, that the whole thing is a hoax, and that no assault took place. For further particulars call on Joe himself and hear him unfold the dreadful story of his narrow escape. â€" [Owen Sound Advertiser. BUSINESS LOCALS. Laobobsb Sticks Balls, cheap, at Mrs. Clement's.
