ACCIDENT.— Last week, Mr. Samuel Lansboro, of, Tuckersmith, cut his thumb neatly off while making a wedge. Medical aid was got as soon as possibleit is not certain that the thumb will be saved. ON the Queen's Birth -day, we noticed that a lady very nearly came to her death, by the fal- ling of a sledge, close along aide of her, while be- ing thrown in the game of 'throwing the sledge." A game, attended with id much danger,. should certainly be discontinued in crowds About -half past three, on Tuesday morning, the cooper shop of the Clinton Flour NEM, was destroyed by fire, together with all the'avork- men's tools, and a large quantity of stoves other materials. The wind. being favourable for . the safety of other buildings and the mills,- the fire was confined to the cooperage, • B:tese. Aoarare-.We observe that our friend Dr. Campbell has arrived in thwn again, . after an absence of two weeks, spent in endeavoritig to mitigate the sufferings of his mother.

DURING the night of the 22nd inst, a fire broke out ilia box of oie1paper., in this office, whichim- mediately communicated with a partition,' and but for the fact, that persons wee sleeping in the- bailcling, and a plentiful supply of water be- ing on hand., a destructive fire woulel certainly have ensued. The only known. presence of fire near the box, Was in the way of a lamp, which had been used. around it during the evening, from which it most probably caught.

Mrs. O'Grady charged her man, John, with assault, by. choking, which charge was pretty well sustained by her evidence. Counsel for the Defence, con- tended that this, being a matter between husband and wife, did not amount to an assault, as mar tial rights allowed a man to hug his wife. The Judge, however, could. not see it in this light, and convicted O'Grady, though only eentencing him to a few hours in gaol, he already having been confined four days. Ira. Lewis, Esq., foathe.

THE CIIEESE FAcToRY.—Leckis cheese factory is now in full blast, and bids fax to become one of the moat important of our manufactories; giving employment to four or five teams, besides a num- ber of factory hands. It, certainly, is one of the most desirable manufactories, giving all air of business to out village. Our townsman, Mr. Leckie, deserves much praise • for his enterprise. It is hoped that it may prove both 'pleasing and profitable. —.Com. Messrs. Wilson & Smith are pushing their foundry rapidly to completion. It is expected to be in running order 189011. Messrs. W.

B, CO's were in Minto last week. Judging from the language used on the occasion, they have had. pretty lively times. A geutleman from Hamilton called one of the To- ronto Directors a "liar," and. other expressions; more forcible than elegant, were used pretty freely. CRANBROOK. The village of Cranbrook is eituated on the, Maitland river, in the Township of Grey, County of Huron. The site of the viMage.--- 500 acres— was surveyed by Government in 1856, since - whielt time it has been steadily improving, and is now the great centre of trade of this flourishing toWnship. The Maitland river runs through she whole length of this survey, and supplies first elms- manufacturing . power. Grist and woolen mills are much required here, and would do an extensive and profitable business. Along the banks of the river are immense beds of limestone, which greatly facilitate building. This village, from its central location and the fine country which surrounds it, being situated in one of the best agricultural sections of the County of Huron, has, no doubt, a bright future before it. Several new buildings have been -erected -during the past yeat, and great improvements will be andel' way during the present summer. In fact, taking into consideration the present rate of progress, the village of Crambrook will soon surpass most of hei sister villages, and is destined to become, gat no distant day, one ofthe most flourishing towns of the westsH.Com. • EXETER.' .-1 - PRESENTATION. ,,,--The membets . of the church and congregation. of the .Bible. Christians in this .-village, having long enjoyed the services of their excellent 'choir, thought proper to give scme evie dance of their appreciation of the same. They ac- eordingly assembled in their church on Friday 'night last, at about 8:30 o'clock. . , There were - about one hundred and twenty ',persons present. - After the choir had•sung one or twoe.of their pieces, the Rev. Mrs Rice opened the meetingewith pray- er, theRev. W. -Heger,ehairman, then requested Mr. -Wm. Sanders to conduct -the.. choir to the front seats, after whidh he proceeded :to deliver the presentation address, which was . certainly Very aproprite. shoWiug.th.e advantages .mijoy.ed by the 'congregation in having such a choir to lead thein insinging, which singing • always' . exerts .. a hallowed influence upon the sacred servieee from time to time; also reminding them net to take . into consideration the intrinsic value of the pres- ents -which...were now about to be ..given, but - to -H think on the spirit in which they are -.presented,. being but an . indication ofthe high esteem in . which they, as a 'choir, are. ,held. .

WEATHER, CROPS, &c.—The farmers have hael the finest season. for putting in grain this year that has ever been known in this part of the coun- try, and now, though there was an extraordinary amount of wcirk to do, nearlyevery one is through with seeding. NearlY all the fall wheat in this section has been plowedeup and the ground - re - sown with other grain. It has been a heavy loss, and has given a great amount of extra labor to the farmer; but it is better than to -have it destroyed later in the season, when nothing could be done to repair the damage. Last Monday morning we had our first thunderstorm ; a great deal of rain fell in a few hours,. and it seems to have done an immense good to the country, There was so much lightning that we fully expeoted to have some "damage by lightning" to report; but we have, as yet, heard of nothing injured. There was very little doina° about here on the 24th, most of the people tookthe road and went either to the tea -meeting. in Exeter, or to the horse -racing andOther domgs in Seafeith.—Coar. LUMLEY DEBATING CLUB. —The debates still seem to retain the interest with which they 'were carried. on in the winter. The most interesting one, of. late, we hear, was "Resolved that Great .Britain is a greater nation than theUnited6tates." The sairman decided in the negative. The Lum- ley Club have received a challenge from the Cromarty. Club. The 'debate will come off on Fri- day next, 27th, at Mr. Hamilton's cheese factory, near Cromarty. Mr. Swan has been appointed chairman, and the subject is "Resolved, that Literature has been more peneficial to the human race than Agriculture." The Lumley Club, we hear, are the agriculturalists, and a lively time is expected.--eCom. GORRIE. THE QUEEN'S EITIIDAY was duly celebrated in our village.
