One day last week btmsetf and a boy were driv- ing a cow to Mr. Wm. McAllister'.- The hay was going with the now and Mr. Ward was riding in a buggy. The animal turned the wrong road, when Mr Ward hurried along with the bug- gy Ana headed her off. As he was turning around he turned too short, upsetting the buggy. He was thrown out and in some mysterious way the horse fell ou hint, and so tangled up in the harness was the bearit, that Mr. Ward had to cut the lines before he could get it removed off hem. He had his breast boue broken and his leg la- jured, and was otherwise pretty badly shaken up. He is getting on as well as could be expected under the eircum stances, but from the serious nature of the injuries, it will be some time before he is able to get around again. It is a wonder he was not killed, as his escape ie almost miraculous.

In 1827 she was united in holy matrimony with Conrad Walper, who predeceased her 13 years ago to the Great Beyond. In 1848 they immigrated, settling in Wellesley towu- ship, Waterloo Co., but soon afterwards coming into this community, when all was yet a wilderness, bearing all the hardships of pioneer life. By hard la- bor, economy and industry,they secured for themselves a comfortable home, and have left unto their posterity the her- itage of a noble character and life. Mrs. Walper was a member of the Evangel ical Association Church, Zurich, and a true and devout Christian woman. She was comparatively well and active up to the time of her demise, being able to walk about the house unaided With her son in law, and her only surviving daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Lebe- gath, of the Goshen Line, she had a pleasant home and tender care in late years. Her end was peace, for she died as she had lived, Her remains were interred in the Bronson Line, Evangeli• cal cemetery, on Friday afternoon, fol-. lowed by a large concourse of friends.

On Tuesday morning Rev. J. W. Holmes was a few moments late in boarding the east bound train, and had one of the narrowest escapes a man cares to experience. Goderich tp.: Mr. John Holmes met with rather a severe accident a few days ago by his team running away; he had got out of the wagon and gone to the horses' heads, when a piece of loose paper, blown by the wind, startled the team when they took fright and ran away. Mr. Holmes was thrown to the ground, the wagon passing over him, bruising him considerably. Clinton: The other day a little daugh- ter of James Finch was patting a dog on the head when the animal sprang at her face, throwing her down and putting its teeth through her cheek. The timely assistance of a gentleman passing by, no doubt, prevented her from being seriously injured. The an- imal is one that the child has frequent- ly played with, which makes the action of the dog all the more unexpected.
