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.

man who got it would have a healthy
time ploughing it. 'Tis a pity people

NEW HODSE.-Mr. W. Graham, reeve,
is building a magnificiort new house on

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.

The weather has been 'clear and fir,
There has been but little heryesting here
this season, butegreat preparations are
being riiade fornext)( - The Whittingham'g
have broken obtipt:160 acres. Backset tjng •
With sulky pleas is irow the ordee of the
day. The steam plow lia,s blackened
1,700 acres and is -still at work ; it con-
sumes oeer 540 worth of coal leaf ly.
Some mean sneak liad the cheek to
steal the horse belonging to Rev. Mr. IVIc-
Gregor (C. M. Missionary.) The horse
was a good one and only had been bought
a few days. '
One day. Iasi; week while away frond.
hobae some one broke into the house of
-Mre-Robert-Rich-(forneerlyerfeelintonrand
stole therefrom 570 in cash.
- The correct statement of the new church
in this settlement is 5810 instead of what
was previously anneanted, it being all
clear except about 530, and that should
be nearly provided for if a young man id
the vicinity of Clinton would send us
522 which we claim he received/by unfair
means while in the West; But while
here he was very anxious that a miasionary
should be sent. We have now two Mis-
sionaries but no money. If the money
is sent soon we'll drop thee -natter.
