the month. Drink was the cause of his absence. During Thursday, Friday and Saturday Davis was not doing his work in his usual satisfactory manner; he was just sobering up from a heavy spree. Witness did not think the deceased was drinking anything during the jast three days he was at work ; if he was drinking he would likely

not have been at work. Davis passed witnesses residence on Sunday evening

apparently all right. He spoke to witness as he passed by. Mrs. Davis said her hus- band. left the house about six o’clock cn Monday morning, saying he would be back in time for breakfast be- fore going to work, She did not see him alive after that. Her husband slept well on Sunday night. On Monday morning he got up about tive and went out into the garden, afterwards returning and putting on his working clothes. He had been sleeping well at night since Thursday. He took his three meals a day and appeared about as usual, excepting that he seemed a little nervous and shaky after he went to work. When he was drinking he would not eat regularly. The deceased had been drinking hard and not eating very much from about Ist July to Thursday of last week. The deceased would sometimes feel bad after getting over a spree, but this time he did not appear any worse than usual. He was not melancholy, and wit- ness never had any reason to suspect that her husband would do away with himself. Her husband told her on Sunday night that he intended going to work on Monday. The deceased was out in the park alone on Sunday afternoon. Inthe evening he went out again to meet witness and the children, and came in with them. He then went out again, returning to the house about 11.

Crop Prospects.

Heavy rains have damaged the crops in Southern and Midland Counties of England.

Crops throughout France, except in the section of the Rhone, have been destroyed by incessant rains. The losses are estimated at $500,000,000 francs. The dealers in grain discount the scarcity, and the price of

Witness never knew him to carry it before. He may have put it in his pocket by mistake. When he shaved on Saturday he wore the same working clothes he had on Mcnday. He wore his good clothes on Sunday.

The jury, after a brief deliberation, re- turned a verdict of ‘‘Found drowned.”

This is his razor.

Montague Stray Notes

A sad and fatal accident happened at St. Mary’s Road, Lot 61, a few days ago. A young lad, about nine yearsof age, son of Mr. Finlay McKenzie, was ordered by his father to lead home a horse that was tethered in the field. In doing so, it appears that the boy put the end of the tether round his body, and the horse tak- ing fright at some object, rushed off at full

speed, dragging the boy along with him until his head-struck a stump with such

force as to snap the rope and to cause al- most instant death. This should be a warning to boys when leading an animal | with a rope

Another accident occurred at Sturgeon last week. A little boy three years old, son of Mr. John McKinnon, fell backwards into a bucket of boiling water. When he fell in, the bucket turned over and the water went all over him, scalding him ter- ribly. Although the skin has come off almost all his body yet it seems the little fellow will pull through

Much sympathy is manifested towards Mr. ‘Benjamin Davey, of Commercial Cross, ‘who has recently lost three of his children | with scarlet fever. The disease appears to | be of a very malignant kind, and has almost ‘baffled medical skill. The other members of the family who had the fever are slowly recovering.

To-day, for the first time, your correspon- ‘dent saw the real live potato bug feasting ‘on the vines of a patch of potatoes in Mr. ‘Porter's garden. It appears that this pest ‘is putting in an appearance in different parts of the Island. Farmers should be on their guard and frequently examine their ‘potato vines, as the bugs, once under way, ‘will make sad havoc in a very short time.

It was fortunate that the steamer Eldon | was on her way from Dundas last Tuesday evening, when the ferry steamer Montague | became disabled. There were about six- teen horses and carriages waiting on the, Montague side to be carried over. They were all put on board the Montague, and the gallant little steamer Eldon towed them to Georgetown. It is expected that your Georgetown correspondent will give a glow- ing description of the affair.

Many strangers are in the village, some bent on pleasure while others are visiting their friends.

Some very fine trout were caught in the river within the past few days.

which is filling the heads of wheat -yery rapidly. The crops are expected to mature earlier than usual, and it is thought the harvest will be completed by the middle of August. One of the leading banks of the city has received a report from Ontario to the effect that the quality of the wheat is much superior to that of last year. A pro- minent grain buyer stated that advice from his people in Manitoba and the Northwest were of the most favorable character. The prospects were at present glowing, and the promises are of an even larger crop than that of 1887. But, said this experienced man, it must be remembered that the dam- aging frosts occur about the 22nd of August. But so far prospects are magnificent.

Stanley has recovered from his illness.

The Pioneer is informed that Mrs. Robert Cook Wigmore, of Wigmore Road, who is an old lady 85 years of age, walked to her son-in- law’s, Mr. Wm. Folland, a distance of a mile, a few days ago. In the last seven years pre- vious to this she had never been further than the barn.

Mr. William Wickham, son of William Wickham, Esq., of Summerside, and Superin.- tendent of the Roman Catholic Schools, St. John’s, Nfld., is visiting the Island.

Baron Edward Rothschild, one of the younger members of the Rothschilds of Lon- don, Eng., is in Montreal. He has been travelling extensively in the United States and Mexico, ard is on his way to England after visiting the principal cities of the Do- minion.
