We learn that Mr. Luxton was in Toren.: to during the past week purchasing the. material for his new office. RAMBLES THROUGH BRUCE. —We are informed by a correspondent from South Huron who has recently taken a ramole through the County of Bruce, and who addresses Ms front Kincardine, that many farmers in that County- have lost the greater portion a their season's' crop by having it destroyed by the late heavy rains. The later crops, in particular, have suffered. Althauel the crops generally, prior to the wet season, were good, they are considerably later than in South Huron, consequently were not gathered nor housed before the heavy rain storms came upon them.. On the 13th inst., in many townships the gram was not more than half harvested, and a great deal of what had been cut was badly groom, the continual wet weather preventing a from drying sufficiently to be housed. RUNAWAY AND ACCIDENT. —On Tim's- ' day of last week a span of horses attach- ed to a waggon, belonging to Mr. Bur- gess, pear Ainleyville, while standing in front of Mr. Seegmiller's oat -meal mill, became frightened and ran away. They dashed down the street, crossing the gravel road at McBride's hotel, and rush- ed: into the yard, at Coleman & Gouin- look's salt works: A team belonging to the works was standing in the yard, and the runaways dashed against them, strik- ing the tongue of the waggon aeainst the shoulder of one of the other horses caus- ing a deep and dangerous Weand. The runaway teenn was then caught without doing farther damage. The other horses became alarmed and started off, over- turning the evaggen which contained a load of salt -barrels, -smashing the barrels and breaking the tongue of the waggon. econnog loose feom the waggon, they ran a shore way into the swamp, when the injure.' animal became so weak, from loss of blood, that it could run further. The horse which was injured is a very doable one, and its recovery is doubt- ful. It is now under treatment by Mr. MeNaught, 'Veterinary Surgeon. Bavfleld. A GOOD YIELD.—Mr. John Fraser, I who resides in the township of Goderich, aboot two miles from Bayfield, inforras ; us that front two bushels of Soules wheat last fall, he this year threshed fifty bushels.

Seaforth Raeee- The fall meeting of the Seaforthltid- ing and Driving Park Association took place an their track on Friday and Sat- urday of last week. Thursday and Fri- day were the days appointed fer the meeting, but, as we announced last week,, owing to the weather on Thursday being Unfavorable, a [postponement until Fri- day and Saturday was arranged. On the FIRST DAY, _ • Friday, the weather, although a little chilly, was not unpleasant, and the track was in fair order. The -attendance of visitors was very fair. The first race was a running race; purse $100 ; open to all Dominion bred horses; mile heats, best 2 in 3 ; lst horse, $75; 2nd horse, $25. For this -race the following horses started: Gates' Storm, Lowell's Dan Al- lan, and Marks' Limerick. This race was not very evenly contested, Storm be- ing by considerable odds the fastest horse of the three. . In the first heat a very fair start was got, Limerick taking the lead which he kept during the first round, but was ultimately passed by iStorm, who came in first, Limerick closely fol- lowing, and Dan Allan third. In the second heat Limerick again took the start, but was soon passed. by Storm, who manly kept the lead for the remain- der of the heat. In the second round Limerick seemed to be nearly done out, and, although pushed. by his rider, was passed. by. Dan Allan, „ who nrowded Storm pretty closely to the winning post. lt was evident that Storm was not put to his best in either heats. SUMMARY. C. Gates' Storm. .

The following horses started in this race : Harkness' gray mare Annie Wilks, A. Mallett's Gold Leaf, and E. 11. Crew's Highlander. This rage was very evenly contested between Annie Wilks and Highlander, and was quite exciting. ' For the first heat, after. several trials, a very good start wasmade. Annie Wilks took the lead end kept iv throughout the heat, Highlander evi- dently being held. back. The second heat was better contested. Highlander's driver was changed. Annie Wilks took the lead, which she kept during the first round, but was soon passed by _High- lander. Highlander, however, left his feet lost time, and was again passed by the mare, which came in first by about two length -s; Gold Leaf being distanced. In the third heat Highlander's driver was again changed. In the start this fime Highlandertook the lead, but in turning the second corner left his feet, Allowing the mare to come up with him. For a time they kept aeck and "leek when the mare brolc4, allowing the horse to pass under the rope for the first time ahead; she soon caught up, however, ta.king the lead, which she kept through - oat the -raze, coming in about a neck ahead of her antagonist.

The second day, Saturday, so far as weather was concerned, was all that could be desired. • The attendance of spectators was tolerably large. The races were well contested, ann it was enerally allowed that it was aecidedly the best and most eiciting day's sport that has yet taken place under the aus- pices of the Association. The first race was a trotting purse Of $225 ; open to all horses; mile heats, 3 in 5 to harness. For this purse there were four horses en- tered, viz.: J. Forbes' White Swan, A. Polley's Tip Corey, A. Wood's Lady Wood, and T. Bell's Gray Eagle. In the pools for this race _Tip Corey was the favorite, and pools on him were sold readily at fair prices. When the race commenced, however, it was evident that he had not sufficient speed, to cope with White Swan. The race, however, was vary evenly contested between these two horses: In the first heat the mare took the lead, and kept it throughout. In the second heat she again led off, but when near the Judges'. stand, was passed by Tip, Who kept her behind un- til the home stretch was reached, when she made a rush, passed him and catue in first by about a neck. White Swan also took- the third, retaining the lead nearly all the way through the heat. 7. SUNKART. J. Forbes' White Swan A. Polley's Tip Corey.. . . ....... . A: Wood's Lady Wood.. T.

Inir this race there were four horses started, viz.: C. Gates' Kelso, Dr. Bailey's Baron Rothschild, C. Lowell's Longuiel, and 0. Armstrong's Sir Allan. In the first heat Baron Rothschild. took the lead and kept it throughout, coining in first, with Ken. so second, Languid third, and Sir Allan a good distance behind. In the second Ithe Baron, again took the lead, which be kept durine the first round, but after passing the half -mile post, Was over- taken by Kelso, when they kept neck and neck for about a quarter of a mile, when the Baron commenced to lag, al- lowing Kelso to gain rapidly until the home stretch was reached, when the germ, being urged by his rider, made _better time, and came in about.a length behind_ Kelso, Lonemiel taking a close third place, and Sir Allan barely saving his distance. In the third Kelso took the lead and kept it all through. The Baron kept the second place until about half way on the second round, when he was overtaken and passed by Long- uiel, -who came in second by about a length. In the fourth heat there was -considerable 'humbugging in starting The owners of Kelso and Longuiel had evidently determined to distance the Baron if possible, and thus give to Long- .

The ann al Fall Exhibition of the North Hur n .Agricultural Society, was eld in th village ef Bilyth, on Tuesday and Wedn Evlay last. Wednes.lay, of course, was the princip4 day of the phew, Tuesday beiing taken up mainly in taking entries and making other preliminary ar- rangement The attendance of visitors on Wednesa ay was quite large, notwith- standing t a e unpleasant and threatening appearancs of the weather in the morn- ing. The how was held on the Blyth Agricultun 1 Grounds, which, by the ,way, with he large an commodious Ag- ricultural all, are aqlmirably adapted for the pur $olie for whi h they are used. The show, in point of entries, was not as successf las it has been in Some form- er years. pon entering the grounds we first visite( the Half, here to view the afticles dis layed in th a • 1 -DOOR DEPARTMENT. The firs thing which here attracted attention, was tne d splay along the table on t e right hand side of the hall. The first a. ticks here 3ere squashes, of which thor was a goo1 display. There were also some very tine citrons. 'Pump- kins were few in nuMber and of rather inferior qutility. The ;display of home- made bread. and mapte sugar was very good and, looked well. There were also some very, fine tomatoes. In fruit the display although not large was good. There wer sixteen plates of crab apples, and eight en plates of grapes, all of which loo ed tempting and delicious. There wee but two specimens of honey. There was a good. display of plums aud peaches an Some remarkably large fine specimens. There wane not a very large variety of apples; but the quality fully made up f r the lack of quantify. There were but two specimens of pears, but these were good. At the end of the hall, there wer two very nicely varnished. stoves, ex ibited by Messrs. Harlaud Brothers, of Clinton, also some very handsornel finishedhorse-shoes. On the left s' e of the all, was the dairy produce and roots, of b th of which there was _a fair displayhere were fifteen speeimens of firkin an fourteen of roll butter, whicb was nimly- done up and looked we . in root the display was not as goo( as in former years. Cabbages Tur- nips and eets were mall in size, but i were smalland but ew entries. good for his season, the dry .weather having se iously retarded these ,crops this year. Carrots and maugolds were a fair setup';. Corn ami. onions were also good. Th re -was a e ery fair display of potatoes, nd some really fine specimens. The displa of grain was small, there be- ing nothin but wheat 'exhibited. There were a nu i ber of reaIlj superior samples of both fal and spring. The fall, in par- ticular, en -s good. , This embraces nearly all that 1 as displayed in the lower fiat of the ba I. The upStairs portion was taken up nainly with Ladies' work of vaiious ds, of whici ,there was an ex- cellent dis lay, which effected credit up- on the fai exhibitors.f The home-made flannel ani cloth Weru good. Of home- made bla e kets there were -nine entries, embracing some very s perior specimens. There was a large num er of really hand- some rag nd worked nits, also a very large displ , y of beautiful quilts, counter- panes, etc. The patch -work quilts were very hand ome. There were some very fine spech ens of leather -work, feather flowers, a id a handsome cone basket. The spe i ens of fancy knitting, crochet and Ber i wool work,!tattin a etc., were well and astefully e. ecute . The dis- play of ho eanade socks, mita, etc., was small. .1T iere were a few very good pecimens of needle work, such as gents' hirts, 6 ldren's clot ing,_ etc. In fact he entire display in Ithe ladies' dep m 1, art- ent was ost credit le s t i/ THE FI LD. The dis lay. in the field Was not very large, at ough there was a number of very fine animals and articles; In horses, the varin s -classes w re not largely re- presented, 1 but embra ed some fine ani- mals. Th re- were ut two teams of *orkin Iorses. two spans of carriage horses, ivi boggy, ancl six saddle horses. There wasl a number f very good look- ing year -41d, two-year-old, , and three- year-oin. colts. There were also three yery fine year-old stallions, two (.f which attnecteil much admiration. The best agricultural stallion was sold on the ground oz $500. The Roadster was sired by Mr. a natal Hunter's Coaaliman, and does him no discredit. Be is a perfect picture, a d if nothinglhappens him until he gets h s growth, will be one of the finest and most valuable animals in the county. Ls, owner asks $500 for him now, n fatt1e the diAplay was net very large. - '1 ere were Soqie very good work- ing oxen. Messrs. H. Suell and James Donough had-- their fine thorough brede stock- on the ground, which attracted much adi iration. Mr. Snell's menster bull was t e admired of all admirers. He seems to 1e getting lareer eachtime he is exhibited. 1 We doubt much if there is a finer loik ng aninial <f the. kind in the Provincb in steep and pigs the display was large and good. There was a num- ber_ of v y • superior -sheep. The pigs also could hatdly be surpassed at any ex- hibition. As will be eeen by the Prize List, Mr. Dixon, of Brucefield, distin- guished. himself in this line, In vehicles and imPle "tents the display was credit- able. e Th re wer2 three lumber waggons,. three dem cra ts, and two single bu.ggies. Messrs. .E glish Brothers, of Ainleyville, had. on e hibition a perticularly hand- some singl buggy, -..--hickory geared. In fact, this buggy wouln do credit to our best city e tablishments. Mr. Hugh Mc- Quarrie, if Myth, had also a handsome single bugy. Messrs. °amnion Brothers, of Clinton had a well,gotten.up market - waggon. he makers of the other vehi- cles we were unable to learn. In imple- ments, our townsmen, Messrs. Monro & Hogan, had a nicely finished and fine looking non plow, also a turnip drill of an improved kmd. ; and Mr. Graham Williamso had one of his celebrated. iron plows, which for beauty of finish could hardly be surpassedn Mr. Wilson, of the Dingle Foundry, had a good wooden plow, and Messrs. Thomson &IVilliams, of Mitche , had one; of their self -rake reapers, ad a single mower, mid other implenient THE 11.U.N.. Ast1ie crowd had got almost half through t icir work of inspection in the field, the r in commeneed to descend in torrents This soon. Clausen a stampede to the hall which for some considerable time was the main centre of attraction. The field, f course, wee deserted in short order. Sone of the Ounnals, which be- fore the rein looked A° sleek and clean, afterwards presented an appearance not so pleasing to the eye. For a while the crowding and rushing and squeezing in- side the hall bid fair to equal the second. or third clays at the Provincial Exhibi- tion, and was hard on corhs and belies' --dresses. About four o'clock,- the ram having ceased, the exhibitors com- menced to remove their property from the hall and grounds, and the tent -keep- ers to pull up their stakes, end by five o'clock, to look at the show grounds one would hardly suppose there Wel been an exhibition, the only traces left being the foot -prints in the grdund, and here and there a "tiny slipper!' half buried inthe slimy clay.
