Ontario DEAD AND DYING HUMANITY A List of the Killed and Injurd- The Inaugural March of 1841 An American Bridge 8u It er's Sad Fate. An Appalling Disaster. St. George, Out., Feb. 27.- Tlie St. Louis express passing here eastbound, about C o'clock this evening, went through the bridge just east of the sta tion. A. broken tire on the engine wheel caused the rails to spreak, and the first passenger car, Pullman car and diniog car went through the middle section of the bridtre. The Pullman car which con tained most of the passengers, was thrown clean off the bridge, turning completely over and landing right up. The dining car stands on end against a pier. The passenger car remains on the bridge, having stripped the ties ahead of it. Eight or ten persons who were killed and about thirty wounded were taken out of the cars. . The dining-rooin car contained about even persons besides the waiters. Sup per had just commenced, and fn a few minutes the car would have been filled, and must haye perished. The following is a list of killed: George Teggat, of Mitchell; William vVemp, of London; Dr. Swan and A. W. Francis, of Woodstock; Mr. McLean, of the firm of McLean & Beecher, of Detroit; Mr. Baines, of Hamilton; Captain Moore, of Bradford; Mr. Peers, of Woodstock. The following are more or less seriously injured: Thomas L.

Memories of William Heury Harrison will be plentiful at the inauguration of his grandson. The inaugural committee has received a letter from a lady at Sykesville, M L, request ing that the iuaugural gran 1 inarch, composed by Miss. Susanna W!irfield and played by the Marine band during the inauguration ceremony of William Henry Harrison in 1841 be ag iin played during the ceremonies next week. Miss Waifiel.l is n w a lady ninety-rive years old ami would be Irighly gratified to know that the music c m posed by lu-r in li-.mor tti the first Harrison w is heard also in t!i inaugural ceremonies of his grandson. A copy of- Mjss WF(ie!d's. inr.reh was sent recently to Mrs. Harrison at Indian apolis and it is understood she wrote to the committee here requesting that it be played Monday next. Plenty of lumber has been used in pre paring for the inauguration, but the only thing that has yet taken shape is a log cabin. It was put up today in front of the Peace monument at the head of Pennsylvania avenue. Although Riore fragile than one in the days of "Tippeca noe and Tyler too," it looks habitable. It is about 10x12 feet, and stands just at the base of the triumphal goddess, about whom a graceful flag already waves. This old cabin will be the first thing that greets the eyes of the troops they march dqwu the avenue with Gen. liar rison at ther head, and WAY wl'l be the cheers that will ring out for William.

Tpwada, Ta., Feb. 23,- The Union Bridge compauy took a contract a year or so ago for building the great Hawkcs bury bridge at Sidney, New South Wales. The company sub -let the work to Rylant & Morse, of this city, Th.o, Ryiand of the llrm w.-u the well known bridge builder, S. V. Rylanil. The partners went to Sydney and completed the work, receiving for it $1,000,000. ItylamVs family have received a letter from Morse, which says that on the day before Christ mas Rylaud was walking on one of the string piers of the bridge, when he lost his balance and fell into the water, a distance of fifty feet. The fall did not seem to hurt him, as he was seen to turn and swim for the shore. On the way he was attacked by an immense shark, which carried him beneath the surface, and he was seen no more. Rylaud leavees a widow tfud five children in Towauda. He was forty-eight years of age and one of the moat prominent citizens of Brad ford county. Cullom Correspondence- Dkaii Editok: Not seeing anything in your valuable paper for quite a while in recognition toward Cullom, I thought to drop you a few items from our little berg and let your many readers know whereof we speak. Cullom is situated in a beautiful valley on the B. & M., nine miles west of the county seat of Cass couuty, and is sur rounded with one among the best farm ing communities that can be found in the state. On inquiry we get the information that sixty-five car loads of grain have been shipped from this point since the beginning of the new year. There are twe scales here for weighing grain put in by the fanners and an ele vator for handling grain is talked of as a necessity and would undoubtedly pay any one for their investment. The ladies of Cullom gave a basket supper the 10th inst. for the benefit of the church which was a grand succes. The schoal house where the supper . was held was decorated in the most elaborate style, which does great credit to the Cullomites. As near as we can learn there were thirty-one dollars made above all expenses. Quite a delegation of ladies and gentlemen from Cedar Creek and Louisville attended the supper. The Cullom school is taught by Mr. J. B. Meisinger, which is in a flourishing condition. Services every other Sabbath in the church, conducted by Rev. Ilawes, a Methodist mimister of Nebawka. Mr. J..B. Thomyson, of the firm of Dovey & Thompson, have a fine lot of feed steers on their farm. HoitsriPE. Horning School District. W. L. Hull will take possession of the W. T. Cole farm in a few days. Benjamin Brunner, who has run the Perry Walker farm for two years past, will soon move on a farm near Murray. It is reported that articles sold well at the sale of Mrs. Cole's on Tuesday. . The basket supper at Cottonwood school given for Mr. Surface's benefit on Tuesday night was well patronized and goodly number of the young gents each captured a basket and the fair owner thus realized a neat little sum of money. The literarv society last Thursday eve adjourned sine die. Such a society is a great source of pleasure ana gives ample means for improvement. There will be a meeting at the Horning school house"ou Thursday night, March 7, to engage in the discussion of the pro hibitorv amendment.

The Ooddesa ut Liberty lu Different Posi tion Coins from Anicrlcau Mints That Are More Prized Thau Those That Were Current In tli Days of the Cietotrs. A craze which of late years has greatly developed and at this time shows no sin of falling off. i3 that of collecting raro coin3. Chicago leads all western cities in the number of its numismatists and lioaf.ts some fino collections. It might bv 6iipiH)sed that the demand would Ik? principally for coins of grea! antiquity, but this is not tho case. Th chief inquiry is for sets of American coins, and some numbers nro so rare as to readily command fancy prices. In certain years some descriptions of coins wcro not minted at all, while in other cases few copies vrir ter.'vd. Oilier coins are valued I.x-cuum? of toiue error or eccentricity in the die; in fact, any variation from the ordinary types, if in good condition, will bring more than its faco value. ODD SIZES AND DATES. Of tho 6ilrer dollars, nearly all tho earlier issues are in demand at a slight premium, and that of 1794, in which tho goddess of lilierty is depicted with flow ing hair, is worth 20. As for tho dollar of 1804, of which few are known, any copy in good condition will bring 200. The flying eaglo of 1S39 and 1839, and the coins of 1831, 1852 and 1858, with the lilerty loving lady seated, are worth at least $15 each. The on timo despised trade dollars, issued 1879 to 18S3 in clusive, aro at a premium of 10 cents each. Of half dollars, those of 1790 and 1797, with fifteen or sixteen Btars, bring $13 each. Others of value aro dated 1791, 1801 and 1S02, and there are many more, such as 1833 with a liberty cap, 183$ with an "O" mark under the head, and a coin of 1S33 with liberty seated, which are worth from $2 to 3 each. The scarce quarters are those of 1823 and 1827, with the head to the left, each valued at 15, while tho 17M3 fillet head is to be had for and that of 1804 for 1. Twenty cent silver pieces of 1S7G bring SO cents; those of tho eucceeding year are cheap at r.50. The dimes of the grandfathers are mostly worth from five to twenty times their face value, while half dimes in silver bring from 50 cents to 3 each, and a ppecial brand of the vintage of 1802 will command $25. Silver three cent pieces run from 20 to 50. cents: nickel fives 15 to 30 cent3 each, and nickel threes 15 to 23. COPPER LEADS GOLD. There is a great demand for old copper cents, tho first ambition of every col lector being to btart even with the pro cession in 1793 or bo and bring it down to dato with a coin for each year. It will cost him from 1 to 3 for the vari ous kinds issued in 1793, S3 foi 1799, and $2.50 for 1S04. With the exception of a cent of 1309 with the head to tho left the rest are reasonable in price. Half cents are in demand, and readily command from 81 to $5 for those of certain yearo between J331 and 18-19. But in these it must liot ie understood that those of all years are equally in request. Those is sued 1840-43 inclusive, with the head to tho left, average about 3 each. Wash ington medals, old fashioned cents, and the copper issues of New York, Vermont, Massachusetts and New Jersey bring, provided they have the necessary ear- murks, sums ranging from fi to Therein not much c?

Of a sedate but cunning dog out in California this 6tory is told: On one occasion a rabbit wai started, and all the dogs with the exception of Bonus dashed off in full pursuit. We were astonished to observe that he, foregoing tho intense excitement of tho chase, de liberately trotted by a s?iort cut to a hollow oak trunk, and crouching at its base calmly awaited the coming of the fleeing rabbit. And he was not disap pointed, for the pursuing dogs pressed the rabbit so hard that after making a long detour, it approached the place of refuge. As it was about entering the hollow trunk. Bonus sprang up and cap tured it. Now, tliis old dog was used to hunting rabbits in that 6-dd, and knew that the rodents were in tho habit of flying for saf ety ; to tliat hollow tree. Moreover, tbi3 story is true. Philadel- i 3 THE E-PRICE on Has left tor the East to buy the Finest, Largest and Cheapest Stock of 9 So ring and Summer Clothing Ever Brought fcto Cass county.
