The Quebec correspondent of The Montreal Star says: “It is believed that thousands of deer are illegally killed by hounds and at present there is no means of stopping the slaughter because the authority to kill the dogs has never been accorded and it is difficult to convict the owners of trained animals for they simply release the hounds, which catch and kill their quarry.”

A very serious accident happened last Wednesday to Master Guy Farrell, son of Mr. Wm. H. Farrell. It seems that at noon recess, he with some other boys were playing, when by some means Guy’s arm got pushed through a pane of glass, cutting the arm in a frightful manner. The wound bled very much. Dr. Gaboury was sent for and was soon in attendance. The little fellow is only ten years old but he stood the fixing up and stitching of his wounds very bravely.
