PROSPERITY OF SEAPORTS. —Never have
the prospects of Seaforth looked so
bright as at the present time. The pop-
ulation. is rapidly increasing, our mer-
chants and business men are extending
their facilities, and our mills and manu-
factories are gaining in strength and im-
portance daily. Within the past three
months numerous real-estate sales have
taken Place at largely advanced prices,
and b
thread
if the
over o
ddings are springing up in every
n. During the present season,
ecessary labor ,can be procured,
e hundred new buildings will be
erected. Some of these are already un-
der way, and most of the remainder un-
der contract. Of this number four, will
be large brick blocks for stores, • and
the remainder private residences'. But
- so great is the demand for residences and
buness places that even this large ie -
crease will not supply it. Nearly all the
stores to be built have already been en-
gaged, and many Of the private houses
been rented in i.t.IVance.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—We regret to learn
that John II3lair, a lad about 14 Years of

driving along the London Road, about
two and a lull miles south of B mcefield,
with a team, (halving a seed drill. The
boy was walking behind the drill. The
horses got riglitened„and, becoming un-
manageable, ran away. The boy unfor-
tunately became entangled in the lines,
and before he could relieve hiniaelf, was
drawn off his feet and dragged_ a distance
of about half a mile. The horses were
ultimately stopped, and the lad- was
found to be usensible. Medical aid was
immediatelY sent for, but nolevIthstand-
ing that all Was done for his relief which
medical skill could do, he died in about
half an hour.
