Baer met with a painful accident, which will disfigure him for some time, He was working at a saw, when a' black was thrown With fearful force in his face. The bridge of his nose,was. broken, and his face considerablrruised, but he is able to attend to his work as usual. Wan.comn 1—Our readers will be glad to learn that 11 r h t S .Jos. Whitehead was one of the oldest residents, has who just returned to town to take up his permanent" residence in the old homestead, which he and put in it i ihaving repaireds s now a g pristine beauty and attractiveness. Al- though he appears slightly older, he has still enough vigor and life left to make him an acquisition tothe town,, and will be welcomed by a great many: BUILDING OPERATIONS. — Notwith- standing the number of buildings lately erected, still more are; being contracted for, the latest being a frame residence on Huron street, for Mr. J. Cunioghame, the contractors being H. Walker. for wood work, and J. Croll, plastering.; and . a brick residence for Mr. J. C. Gilroy, on Raglan street, H. Stevens having the wood work. and R. Haywood themason work. We understand there are other buildings in contemplation. _ THE LIVE STOCK SALE.—Parties tending to 'enter stock for the fall sale' of the Huron Live. Stook Association, to be held in Clinton about•. • the middle of October, should send in their names, together with the pedigrees of the animals they intend to offer, to the Secre- tary, M. Y. McLean, Seaforth. without delay, as all entries not made by the 20th inst. at the latest, cannot be recorded .in the sale catalogue. Parties havingstock to. sell should attend to this at once. POSTPONED.—The case of the hotel keepers charged with running two bars, was•up-again before- the--Mayor-turd-Mr: Fisher on Monday. Considerable time was consumed in discu^sing the question as to the wisdom and justice of proceeding with the matter in consequence of the de- cision given by Judge Toms in Mr. Theo,; bald's ease, and it was finally decided to. postpone the case till the latter case was disposed of by the Cqurt of Appeal, where it had been taken. A FEW days ago a great Liberal demon- stration, with reference to the action of the House of Lords on the franchise bill, took place at Girvan, .Scotland, and among the names of those on the plat- form, as given in. the Ayrshire Post, we notice the names of Mr. A. Wallace, of. Goderich, and Mr. John McGarva, of this. town.. Scotland, from one end to the other, is greatly roused on this question, and when .the time comes will give no uncertain sound in relation to it. • ACCIDENT.—A large tank was recently erected on Mr. Allanson's property near o the river, for the double purpose of sup- plying water for his garden and for -the town streets. The other evening while' Mr. Allanson was standing on the tank, the supports suddenly gave way, and.tbe whole thing tumbled to the ground.` There was about three tons of, water in. the tank and "Jo" had the pleasure 'of a ' shower bath when he fell with the tank. The only loss was the breaking of the tank, which was soon repaired. A GOOD IDEA.—The following appears in a Goderich paper, and we publish it as a suggestion for the teachers here, who are always willing to adopt any ideas that will be to the mutual advancement of' themselves and pupils :—We understand that the principal of the public schools intends holding monthly meetings • with the teachers for the purpose of discussing; teaching methods, and attaining a greater degree of efficiencyand harmony in me- thods of work. The ideais a good one and should result in practical benefit to both teachers and pupils. • WHEAT MARKET.—One of the Chicago papers predicts that the price of wheat will be down(tto 50 cents a bushel this year. We hardly expect to see it quite. that low. The earth has yielded. an abundance, and there is more to cone. The farmer looks over his broad fields and calculates how many bushels they will yield to the acre, and how Much •the sor- did -minded grain dealer will give him per bushel. As between a large yield and low prices, and a small yield and high prices, the farmer wouldprefer the small yield. It is less trying to the ground, easier to handle, and not so much trouble to carry to market. The highest price paid for wheat last year was $1.77. At present wheat is selling from 70,cents to 80 in Clinton. ..d A LAUGHABLE MISHAP. — Constable Paisley met with a most annoying, yet laughable, accident. one day last week, and although the publication of this means that there may be ono editor less in town, we must furnish our readers with the news at any cost. He and Mr. Proud - foot, surveyor, had gone down in the neighborhood of Doan's tannery tg_.in- spect a ditch. After they bad got through they sat down on a board, which happen- d to be in the position of a teeter, right over the ditch. Some conversation en- sued, and Mr. Proudfoot .arose, when the' board suddenly dropped, and the Chief of Police made a graceful. somersault into the ditch ; ho ht on' hits feet, but even their size did not prevent him from sink- ing in, and in a moment ho was mud al most to his hips. Proudfoot vows that it was an accident but as Paisley went BRIEFS.—Mr. Thos. White tools a trip to Philadelphia last week - he is expected home to -day. The new band has been engaged to play for a. picnic in Goderich township, which is their first engagement Mr. Joseph Allanson intends to put tip a windmill on his property near the river next year,. which will furnish hien with any quantity. of water for garden purposes Mr. A.
