L Hoskings, ofthe Nis urr circuit
recently. After visiting at John
Gumb s till about nine oclock, lie
hitched his horse to drive home.Al-
most immediately on getting into the
buggy, with his two little boys, he dis-
coyered that one of the holdbacks was
not fastened. Before anything could
be done the buggy hacl run into the
horse, which being very much frighten-
ed, began to run and kick furiously-.
Soon the shafts werebroken, the front
part of the buggy mutilated, and the
terrified beast was free. The sudden
stopping of the buggy and the heavy
pull on the lines brought Mr. Hoskings
forward on his face with tremendous
force. His hands and artnswere severe-
ly bruised by corning in contact with
the hard road, several of his teeth were
knocked oat, and his lips and tongue
badly cut.
The annual meeting of the Vv est
Huron Conservative Association was
held at Dungannon, on Tuesday of
last week. The day was an unpleasant
and undesirable one,the rain falling in
torrents, notwithstanding which there
was a good attendance of delegates..
The election of officers for the Riding
Association resulted in the old staff
being re-elected: Pres., Major Jos.
Beck, Saltford; Vice Pres.. Dr. G. E,
Case, Dungannon; See., J. Mitchell,
Goderich; Treas., Dr. Bruce, Clinton.
Addresses were delivered by Messrs J.
W. St. John, Toronto; J. Beck, Salt
ford, Dickenson and Clegg, Wiegham,
R. McLean, Goderich Dr. Tennant,
Lucknow, and others. It was decided
to protest the election of Mr. Gamow,
and funds will be collected for that
purpose. The gathering is said to have
been large and enthusiastic.
