We un- derstand the fracture was a peculiarily hotaplicated-one, bub the sufferer is pro- gressing so favorably that no serious ap- prehensions are entertained. • TENIPOANCR.—The regular meeting of the Comity Lodge, B. A. 0. of G. T., • took plate in this village on Wednesday, the Oa inst., and although the severity of the cold and the unfaxerable condition of the roads put a barrier in the way of nurabere, yet ehe affair was all that could be desired. In the evening the assembled memberof the order, together with a few of the friends of temperance, partook • of a truniptuoua repast prepared by the members of Hoe Lodge, Zurich.

SAD AFFAIR.—We learn that a man named Andrew Muir, a resident of the township, of Hay, visited Zurich on. the afternoon of Tuesday, the teth inst. .it seems that, • after whiting to the village, Muir had. -Indulged pretty freely'in in- toxicating drinks, but as he was in the habit of so doing, this was not paid ranch attentionto. About dusk he took his departure for home, and took a bottle of whiskey with him. Since then he has not been seen or heard of. It is supposed that; being on. foot •.and alone, he had wandered from the road, and becoming overcome with the stimulants which he had. consumed lay down and got .frozen to death. The night was one of the most. bitterly cold of the season, aed the abovesupposition will doubtless prove correct. Search has. since been made for the body, but as far as we have been able to tear; without success. Wroxeter. Mr. George Eyvel is oor authorized agent in this place.

LECTuRES.—A temperance lecture was delivered in the Wesleyan Methodist church, en Tuesday evening, 5th inst., by Rev. J. B.

His account of the soil and clilnate was very flattering, but for all that he did not advise farmers who had comfortable homes to sell out and emigrate.

Some parties in this neigh- borhood, however, have found a model way of procuring feed. It is by paying friendly visits to their neighbors' barn- yards at the dead of night. This method is very effectiye, seldom failing to pro- cure a quantity Of oats or a bundle of hay, but it is rather dangerou, and should be abandoned by thon practicing it be- fore it is too late• .
