Sad Drowning- Accident.

Late on Friday afternoon Mr Jam 63 McLaughlan, a well-known and much respected farmer of Oust, was diowned in the river Ashley at the Birch Hill Ford, He crossed the river early in the day with a load, and was returning home when the accident; happened- One of his sons, who was some distance up the river bed shooting, observed him crossing, but not seeing him reach the b«ik he was making for concluded that something had gone wrong and hurried to the ford. On arriving there he found the horse on the bank, with part ot its harness on, and the dray with one of the wheels off, in a dsep hole jusb off the track. The deceased was nowhere to be seen, and it is surmised that he released the horse, and waa then swept down stream and drowned. The son, after vainly endeavoring to find his father, collected a pwty of neighbors, who searched the liver all night and Saturday morning before the body was discovered, about a mile from the ford. The deceased leaves a widow and a family of sons and daughters, most of whom are grown up.

What Dreams May Come

In a recent lecture at the Royal Institution, Dr. B. 'A. Richardson says that the sleep of health is dreamless. ■" Hreams," says Shakespeare, " a' c children of an idle brain." If both the doctor and the poet are right it follows that, idle brains are unhealthy brains. No doubt there might be truth in the in terference, but that is not quite the point. Are all dreams signs of a diseased condi tion? To this tho doctor says "No." He divides dreams into two classes ; those started by noises or other causes outside the sleeper, and those produced by pain, fever, or indigestion,

Here we inject a fact. We receive multi tudes of letters containing this affirmation, almost iv identical words : I was worse tired in the morning than when I went to bed. To this the doctor has an answer. He says. When we feel wearied in the morning very likely it results from dreams that we have forgotten. Qui'e so. In other words there is a bodily sondi tion which may prevent a person from work" ing by day at his usual calling, but obliges him to labour all night under a mental Stimulus of which he knows nothing save by its resulting exhaustion. These unhappy wretches toil harder, therefore, for no com pensation, when they are ill, than they have to do to earn a living when they are well. What an infernal and frightful fact! And this too without taking into account their physical suffering at all times. Night, said Coleridge, is nry hell. From one of the letters referred to we quote what a woman says of her daughter: She was worse tired in the morning than when she went to bed- Poor girl. Those forgotten dreams had tossed her about as a ship is tossed in a tempest. Night was her day of labour. The mother s simple tale is this: In June, 1890, my daughter Ann Elizabeth became low, weak, and fretful, and complained of jjain in the chest after-eating. Next her stomach was so irritable that she vomited nil the food she took. It was awful to see her heave and strain, For three weeks nothing passed through her stomach except a little soda water and lime water, Later on, her feet and legs began to swell and puff from dropsy. She was now pale as death and looked as though she had not » drop of blood in her body, and was always cold- Month after month dragged by and she grew weaker every day. She could not walk without support, for she had lost the proper use of her legs, and her body swayed from side to side as she moved.

A doctor attended her for twelve months, and finally said it was no use giving her any more medicine as it would do no good. In May, 1891, I took her to the Dewsbury Infirmary. She got no better there, and I thought 1 was surely going to lose her, She was then thirteen years of age.

One day a lady (Mrs Liglitoller) called at my shop, and seeing how bad my daughter was, spoke of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and persuaded us to try it. I got a bottle from the Thornhill Lees Co-operative Stores, and she began taking it. In two days she found a little relief; the sickness was not so frequent. She kept on with the Syrup and steadily improved. Soon she was strong as ever, and has since been in the best of health and can take any kind of food. After he had taken the Syrup only two weeks the neigh bors were snrprised at her improved ap pearance and I told them what had brought it about—that Seigel's Syrup had done what the doctors could not do, It saved her life. Yours truly, f signed), Mrs Sarah Ann Sheard, J9, Brewery Lane, Thornhill Lees, near Dewsbnry, October 11, 1802. 'The inciting cause of all this young girl's pitiful suffering was indigestion and dyspepsia, dropsy being one of its most dangerous symptoms. It attacks both youth and age, its fearful and often fatal results being due to the fact that physicians usually treat the symptoms instead of the disease itself.

A child's dreams, says Dr Richardson, are sjgns of disturbed health and should be re garded witn anxiety." The same is true of the dreams of older people. They mean poison in the stomach and point to the imme diate use of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup.

The adjourned annual meeting of the New Zealand Times Company was held yesterday. A good deal of interest had |>een aroused in the proceedings from the yarious reports snrrent during the p;st few weeks, but merely routine business was transacted. There was a Jaige atten dance of shareholders, including the Premier. The report and balance sheet were adopted, and votes of tha»|cs were passed to the editorial and commercial staff.
