.Et1ianshard Fall Sheave.
The Blenshard township fall show
wee heid at ICirlcton on Friday last,
10th iust. Tho weethsr was all that
could be desired. The attendance
was very large, which, together with
the excellence and quality of the ex-
hibits in all deeartmeuts shows that the
people of . ]3lansh•ard are proud of their
show. And they have every reason to
feel gratified at the success of this
year's exhibition. Everything shown
was of excellent quality, and would
do no discredit to any exhibitiou of
greater pretentsiorls, 'The horses were
particularly good, the tirizo-takers iu
most instances being equal to those
shown at any of the fairs in the west,
We notice among the names of suooess-
fnl eexhibitors malty of our Usborne
friends, What, U'nborne farmers send
in for compe'itien is bard to beat, and
we belisve it was found to 1'e so in the
present iuste:me, though undoubtedly
Blaushard conies in a close 'second, and
then stands a tong way ahead of other
townships in the beauty of its farms,
the fertility of its soil, the thrift and
wealth of ire farmers, the excellence of
its productions, and last, but by no
means least, the beauty of its (laugh,
ters ; and by the way the young Indies
seemed to attract the attention of the
young men to the exclusion of every-
thing else. And why not ? In the
judging of the carriege horses, a large
proportion of its visitors appeared to
view the merits of the animals differ-
ently to the judges, the general opinion
being that the third prize, if any,
was deserved by the team that was giv-
en first, while opinion was divided as
to whether Leonard Bunter, Reeve of
Ueborne, or Dr. Irving, of Iiirkton,
should have taken first. In other re-
spects the 1ecisious of the judges ap-
peared to meet with the approbation of
the people. The officers of the euciety,
especially the gentlema4 and obliging
Secretary, Mr. Robert Beattie, are ea-
. -Waled -eters. large - pleasure of praise for
the excellent position the Blaushard
fair has ;von einsoiig kindred institu-

Railway Disaster.
On the Michigan Central Railroad, a
short distance east of Jackson, about
one Friday, the Pacific express train
bound west collided with a switch en-
gine, telescoping the baggage and ex-
press cars, and piling the remaining
eleven coaches on top of the others.
Tho first coach was filled with emigrants
most of whom %ere killed or seriously
injured. Many occupants of other
coaches were killed or injured. It is
supposed ;that twenty or twenty-five
passengers were killed, aucl twenty to
thirty wounded, the majority being emi-
grants and second-class passengere.
Physicians were at once summoned
from Jackson, and a special train `car-
rying them left Detroit at five o'clock,
The engineer and fireman of the ex-
press train were literally torn to pieces:.
The epgineer and firet.tan of the switch
engine escaped by jumping. The train
was made up of seven Wagner sleepers,.
four passenger coaches, Rud mail and.
baggage cars. The tender of the ex-
press engine was telescoped into the
baggage car about half its length.
This car in turn forced its way into tite
mail cars, and these crowded the `fast
passenger coach to the right on to en
embarkment, and crushed back through
the two following. The passengers in
the first coach were comparatively un
harried, the harvest of depth ;being
reaped in the second and third coaches.
The fourth coach escaped with slight
damage, and none of the Wagner coach-
es were injured,
The accident was caused by the
switchman havipg charge of the making
up of freight trains occupying the main
traok with a switch engine end oabooee,
understanding that the Pacific Express
was considerably behind. The express
train, however, had made up nearly all
her loge time.
