Evans claimed that he was on his way to take part in a threshing bee. Apparently he misjudged the speed of the train or thought that his motor would respond to the gas more quick- ly than it did. At any rate, he was travelling at such a speed that it was impossible to stop the car when the crossing was reached and the motor plunged head-on into the rear of the. engine. It continued to hold its ground, with the result that the baggage car was defaced, and the step on the end farth- est from the engine was bent. • The next car, containing passengers; did not fare so well, as one step was torn off and the side badly scratched. When the step was broken off it turned the Motor completely around, but did not throw it from the track, and the next coach had its 'two, steps torn off, as well as having the paint scraped off in sections. The motor car was pretty well bat- tered by attered-.by this time and although, like many would-be boxers it had charged into the fray with an overestimated amount of courage, it remained for the last coach of the train to put the K. O. to it. This was done but only after the first step of the coach had receiv- ed quite a gash on it and the side of, 12 CON HOWICK . -Miss Mildred Laird is spending her isle carhad been scraped. holidays in Gorrie for a few day.

Mr. Bryce was born in Gala- shiels, Scofiand; in 1843. He came to Canada in 1853 vritit his parents, two brothers and one sister. During their voyage they suffered' ship wreck, lost all their belongings, and landed on an island in mid -ocean, where for weeks they lived on sea bis- cuits and what fish they could catch, until picked up by a passing vessel. Thirteen weeks front the time they left Scotland they landed in Canada. Tra- velling by land, mostly on foot, they reached Puslinch, Beverly Tp. where they took up land. At the age of "31 Geo. Bryce came north and settled on his farm on the 12th. concession of Turnberry. At that time only one and :t Half acres of the farm was cleared, there was no main roads' izo railroad nearer than Clinton: Died in East Wawanosh ,. • ;.

It was much needed for the 'root crops, as it was the first rain for some weeks and the ground was hard and, dry. One farmer was the loser by it, however. He was John McClinkey, who lives about four miles west of Blyth. His barn was struck by lightning and de- stroyed in. the afternoon, The loss is more severe in that he had two teams hustling in the grain before the storm came, so that now his whole crop is destroyed The town of Winghain consisted' of just a few small buildings, a stage con- nected Winghan and Clinton; some- times in the spring the:roads were so BLYTH badly flooded that boats had to be Miss Margaret Cowan of Niagara used to cross the prairie.
