Runaway ecce ids n t, A runaway accident threatening ser ious results happened on Main street Thursday morning last. It seems Mr. and Mrs. John Down, of the 2nd con cession, Usborne, were about to drive home and when in front of Mr. I'. J Knight's grocery one of the hold -backs of the harness broke, letting the wagon run onto the horse and causing it to run away. The furiated 'beast dashed up Main street at a break -neck speed until reaching the English Church when it made a sudden turn and hurl- ed the occupants with terrible force to the ground. Luckily Mrs. Down es caped with a slight bruise over the eye together with a bad shaking up, while Mr. Down did not fare so well, he re- ceiving. a terrible gash in his forehead, two broken ribs, and was otherwise in- ter•.nally injured. They were immedi- ately removed to the residence of Mr. Chas. Perkins where medical aid was summoned and their injuries dressed. The same evening they were taken home and although Mr. Down is badly injured, he will recover. The horse continued the run till it reached home and strange to say nothing was broken.

Fire r beire t t. Our usually quiet village was thrown. into a sudden and unexpected state of excitement on Sunday morning last about two o'clock, by the wild clang of the fire alarm, and in a very short time it was discovered that the unoccupied house owned by Mrs. George Eacrett, on Elizabeth street, was the scene of destruction. The fire engine was soon on the spot and in a very short time the flames were subdued but not till the building was a. total wreck. As the house has been empty for several months, there is not the slightest doubt but that its destruction was caused by the match of an incendiary as a quan tity of old rags saturated with coal oil were found in the closet under the stairway .where the fire originated. Loss about $400, insurance $300. Case of Child Dissertiou. A youee girl of about twenty-five years of age, who gives her name as Maggie Armstrong and hailing from nearBrucetieid, was arrested by Chief Gill in Usborue on Wednesday, charged with child dissertion. A little over a month ago it is alleged she went to London and gained 'admission 'to the hospital and while there gave birth to a child. On Tuesday night she was seen at the depot here with her baby in her arms and carrying a satchel. On the same evening an infant was. found at the door of Mr. John Cornish, of the London Road, Mr. Cornish at once placed the child in charge eif Reeve Delbridge, of`Usborne, who communi- cated the circumstances to Chief Gill and thus causing her arrest, Since be ing taken into custody she feels very much affected over the affair and wants her child back which in all probability will be granted. Her mother came down from,Brucefield last evening and will likely return with her daughter and child this morning. She claims to have been seduced by a man nowliv- ing in Bruceleld Farmers are advised not to sow black oats for sale. White oats are in de- mand by oatmeal millers who will not. buy black ones, and white oats always command a few cents a bushel more than black ones. There is also a dis- puted point relative to the feeding val- ue of the two kinds of stock, some farm- ars maintaining that the hull of the black oat is too hard for digestion, be- ing much more so than than the white. And dealers do not want black oats.
