He fell under one of the wheels and. the hot• -es running away, he was dragged a considerable distance. Ele was severely injured internally. A joint meeting of the Directors of the South Huron and Stephen & Usborne Agricultural Societies was held in Exeter ou Monday last, for the purpose of settling accounts existing between the two soci- &ics. The local society accordiug to agreement handed over to the �onnty Society the snug sum of $800, from which, and the amountofa membership of 400,the county pays the prizes to a-suin of about $700, and expenses to amount of up - wands of: $150. On the whole the' county society is virtually the gainer in the transaction. It re,ieives a balance over and above everything of nearly e400, while the Meal society it is minus the gate receipts ;and $200 of its" membership money, leaving only a balance of $300, whereas, if the exhibition lead been conducted under local auspices, the home society would have been at least 8600 ahead. The county society in reality has only a membership;oi 95 all told, while the Stephen di Usborne' Society's mem- bers number upwards of 500, and why the Directors of the home society are so anxious to unite with the county society is a mystery. Of course with the county show conies a government grant iu pro- portion to the number of members. This year it will amount to $140.: This seems to be what the Directors aro grabbing fcc; but really they lose -$300 to procure $140. Exeter is the best point in the county' foe an agricultural fair and the management of the country society know it, hence their desire to get here es often as possible. The Directors of the home society should consider these points and not hand their just dues over to a foreign institution. If it is conceded as betefieial to the agricul- tural and other interests of South Huron. generally to hold a county fair, we would suggest that it be'paesed -around among three or more societies, allowing` the society under in turn it comes, to assume all responsibilities and retain" all residues.

No matter what degree of cold may exist anywhere along the line, an even tempera. ture of heat is maintained throughout the interior of the train. As rapidly as possible, all through trails on the various other lines of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul Railway, will be provided with appliancos for the heating of its coaches by steam. Johnstown. Pa., Oct. 12. --The work of removing the wreckage and debris from the Arcata and streams at Johnstown, Pa., has coaxed.
