It is the -brightest and best Horticnitural and Agricultural Weekly in the United States.

We commend the reading of the advertisement to the public. ACCIDENT IN SRAFORTTL—While the lady of our respected townsman Mr. Malcolm was enter- ing her own door carrying a parcel, on the even- ing of the8th inst. her foot slipped and she fell for- ciby forward, her forehead comingin violent collision with the sharp edge of the door cheek; inflicting a wound on her forehead an inch and a half in length down to the bone.

NOT (41:JIM—The Clinton .New 4!ra of the 27th ult, labors under a fearful dc usion. It says that -` during the season there will be over tifty car loads of dressed pork sent from that place," and that, "this far exceeds the business done at any other station on the line." Thus fat Seaforth has sent away nearly seventy car loads. In the month of January alone forty-one were sent. containing about1320.000 1b8. We are quite willing toadmit that Clinton is " some," but then it is no use for it to venture comparison with Seaforth. in the matter of the quantity of produce shipped. RUNAWAY. —Mr. Machan, of the firm of Machan & Ross, lumbermen. township of Grey, had a moat providential eseape from instant death on Monday last. It appears he was driving along the Logan road towards Mitchell with a horse and cutter. Some distance behind him was a double team driven beeMr. Edwin Cemitin, of Lo- gan.-- When near.the old 'toll -gate Mr- • Coppin's animals became frightened, and. ran *away. Mr. Coppin held fast to the lines, but was unable to Ktay their apeed. In a few seconds they overtook Mr. Machan, and a horse getting on either alde. the sleigh tongue struck , theeutter behind, . and threw it right on to the back of the horse which was attached to it. Mr. Machan, the three hors- es, sleigh and cutter, were all huddled together, and those who saw the accident expected that Mr. Meehan would Meet with einstent death. We are glad to be able to say, however, that he escaped wieh but few scratches. The icutter was badly broke n but none of th horeeswere injured. Advocatt. j.

Re -Union. entertainment given in Shares. Hall, on the evening of Monday last, under the auspices of -the Seaforth Benevolent Society, in aid of the poor of th r village, was in every respect most eminently successful. The neat and commodious hall was filled to over -flowing, and the songs, duets, readings recitations, &c., were rendered 111-a meet tedinirable newer, toad- avith the beat taste, - trkeichair eras atly filled'. by our wbrihy Reeve, S. G. McCaughy, Esq. Miss McDonald, the accomplished organist of Iriahtown church, presided at the melodeon, (and pprformed her part most creditably. Indeed the manner in which this lady played the accompaniments to the various songs, and performed her part in the instrumental pieces, is deserving of e the highest praise, and places her, beyond a doubt, in the front rank of the musical talent of the day. Mr Collins, on the violin, and Mr. Cline on the bass- viol,'also performed -their parts el1, and elicit- ed rounds of applause from the audience upon each appearance. Mr. Cline also sung several very fine songs, which were well received. The "Lords of Creation," waggling by Miss Reynolds in an excellent manner, land was loudly encored. Misses. Campbell and Robertson, sung two Duette very nicely ; both these young ladies have fine voices, and, if they but continue as they hive began; will yet ecome orients in the musical world. Mr. J. *Gleghorn recited that beautiful end touching piece,, O'Cerineeht Child,' in good style. The readings of Messrs. Benson and Hunter, were well °linen, well read; and' en- thusiastically received by the .auclience. ,Dr. Campbell's "Bunkum" speech. was certainly rich, and was loudly encored- " Priddy'li Wed- ding,' was sung, in character, by Mr. John Camp- bell, who cannot easily* beteaten as a comic singer. Mr. • Canipbelreedmicil - iiimeartinek, to- gether with the happy words and sentiment of the song, render his singing doubly amusing. Taking the proceedings altogether, we believe we but speak the sentiments of those who were present, when we say that a richer ninsical .and, intellec- tual treat has but seldom been listened to by an audience in Seaforth, than that -provided on Monday evening last. There was one thing, however, which tended very much to mar the pleasure of the evenings' proceedings, and that was, the continual hooting, yelling, and uproar, occasioned bye num- ber of young men and over -grown &eye in the rear of the hall. The manner in which these worthies carried .ort Monday evening, was simply disgraceful, and if such conduct be not checked, it will be the means of preventing many respect- able people from attending these, otherwise, very pleasant meetings. We sincerely trust, that this will be the last time we shall require to refer to so unpleasant an occurrence. If those noisy in- dividuals could but " see themselves as others s,ee them," we feel confident they would endeavour to behave more respectably in future. Development at Lake Superior. The Marquette Journal, alluding to the • fact. that th a development of the Superior Iron Diitriet fealli began in 1856,4 the difficulties encountered from the outset in . getting the ores into- market, and the ob- stacles which had to be surmounted ere the merits of the ores were-nnitle known, aads that during the thirteen years which have elapsed since the first shipment from the _ Cleveland mine :— " The mines have been developed•into an inexhaustable source of wealth, the neigh- bourhood of the misiniproved and built upon, railroad tracki constructed, extensive docks with trestle works, "shoots,' pock- ets,' and other improved convenience for loading vessels erected, and Marquette it- self expanded from a few.lonely housesinto a- large and flourishing village, with an ex- tensive business, to which tourists come in, crowds, as a delightful summer resort. The total shipments of ore from the two ports of Marquette and Escanaba have increased hum less than 1,500 ton's in 1855 to.con- siderable over half 'a million tons in 1869, and the product will probably reach 800,- 000 the present year. Last year it was im- possibleto supply the demand, and this year the increased number'and° facilities Of, the mines will be taxed in vain to meet all the requirements of the hundreds of fur- naces that run almost e4clusively on Lake Superior." The average cost of mining and deliver- ing ore in the citrsis estimated at,$2,_ and the cost oftransporting to Cleveland at $4.- 25, making a total of $6,35. It brings $8 and upwards, leaving a profit of $1.75 per ton. The Journal avers of its own knowl- edge that sotne of the miners produce theit: ore at a cost; not exceeding $1.25, and pre- dicts that t' -ie facilities for cheap mining that are now b.ing added at most of the loca- tions will ere long reduce the average to the lowest figures now given by any of the companies.
