DISTRESSING_ A camENT.—On Monday last a particularly sad accident happened to a young man named John White, who resides on the 10 con., which was very serious in its nature, and the ultimate re- sult of which is yet a mattersof doubt. He and a companion were -ail -Ong a steam engine along the boundary between Me- Killop and Hullett, and in order to aid the team in turning a corner he got down •off the seat and took the horses by the head. After they had turned. all right and while they were still slowly walking along, he attempted to get back into -his stat, when his foot slipped and he fell be- neath the ponderous wheels, which passed over his leg and arm. Mr. John Mason, reeve, who, with a couple of others, was close by, at once picked him up, and found that both leg and arm had been broken, the bones of the arm being very hadly splintered. He was at once taken to a house, medical assistance called in, and his wounds -dressed. It is feared that itanity be necessary to amputate his arm, owing, to the na'ure of the injuries sus- tained. Much sympathy is manifested for the unfortunate young man, who is steady and industrious, and had only bought the steamer this year. Those who witnessed thp accident,_say it was the greatest wonder the wheels did not pass over his head which escaped only by a hair's • breadth. At present he lies in a somewhat precarious condition, although hopes are entertained or his recovery, but it will be a long time before he is able to doany work. • Another year or two arid harvest -homes will be at Christmas and New Year's calls •made on 24th of May. Several weddings are expected in this township shortly but the expectant par- tie-, have sense enough to keep the dates to themselves and gossite, is curiailecl. May it remain so? While leading a young horse, on Sun- day evening Mr, W. Murphy. of the 13th eon., met with a rather serious aecident. While holding the horse it struck out with •his front feet, and strcuk Mr. Mur-phy on the face. HiS nose was very badly split and his eyebrows cut and gashed very seriously. The wound was dressed •and he is progressing as favorably as could be expected. Lie -1y times on the 1411s con. Some parties having mOved their fences ou the. road allowance, the council has brought on it surveyor and report says that the road will have to be shifted its own width.

Graham, reeve, is building a magnificiort new house on his farin on the 27d con., which will not only be a decided ornament when finished, but -a very comfortable house also. It is two stories, gothic in style, with slate roof. The brickwork is being done by Mr. Copp, of'K.ippeil. Mr. S.. -Davis, of Clinton, is fitting it trp with hot:Oir, fur- nace. It will be a couple of months yet before it is ready, for occupation, and will cost, when finished between .$2,500 and $3,000.

In your issue of four weeks ago reference was made to mules it was, however taken up by some of the jackass tribe and -.con- siderable braying was the resultespecially on a certain Wednesday evening in a very consPicions place. It is affirmed by parties who were there that it was worse than ever they heard on the 3.3th, and worse tban the braying of the ass that frightened John Gilpin. And after a• long study they make out that there are more asses on the 13th than mules, we are happy to state that we have neither. They are all a very short distance from each other on the opposite road.-- Com.
