Never have th ' prospects of Seaforth looked so bright as at the present time. The pop- ulation is rapidly increasing, our mpr- eh' nts and business men are extendhig th ir facilities, and our mills and manu- fac ories are gaining in strength and nil- po ance daily. Within the past thee mo ths numerous real-estate sales have ta en place at largely advanced prices,. an buildings are springing up in every dir etion. 'During the present season, if t e necessary labor can be procured, ove • one hundred new 'buildings will be ere ted. Some of these are already un- der way, and most of the remainder uln- der contract. Of this number four, will be 1arge brick blocks 'for stores, , and the Iremainder private residences. But so gfreatis the demand for residences sakcl cre e will not supply it. Nearly all tie bus ness places that even this large i - stor s to be built have already been eh- gagd, and ma,ny of the private hou+s bee • iti Still a little distant, but the Wesleyan Methodists are going to build one near us, so it will be naore convenient to those who choose to go.—This has been a very late spring, but notwithstanding a great many farmers have got their crops in, while som.e are just finishing, and as there has been very little growth as yet • the seedsown Will have an equal estart. It has been a very good sugar year, some farmers have made 200, 300, and even 400 pounds of sugar, besides moles- eea.--OLD PIONEER. A Ru -- era.way.:-While Mr. John J phn- sbn and his wife were riding to church in a wagon last Sunday; -when going along the Twelfth Concession of Greyi the horses suddenly took fright at an um- brella, before them, and ran off the road, running the wagon against a stump and- • throwing Mr. Johnson. out. - One of the wheels passed _over him, rendering him insensible for some time. The horses ran tothe fence, which one of them jumped over, while the other re- mained behind. Mrs. Johnson, dur- ing the runaway was being tossed about in the wagon; she was hurt censiderably and was carried insen- sible to an adjoining house when she came to,in a short time. None of the in- juries in either ease haveprovecl serious. • Stanley. FATAL ACCIDENT. —We regret to learn that John Blair, a lad about 14 years of age, son of Mr. Wm. Blair, Second. Con- cession of Stanley, met with an accident on Monday evening last, which resulted. itt his death. It seems that the boy was driving along the London Road, about two and a half miles south of Bruce -field with a team, drawing a seed drill. T.1a. boy was walk.ingbehincl the drill. The horses got frightened, and becoming un-_ • ma.nageable, ran away. The boy unfor- tunately became entangled in the line, and before he could relieve himself; was dra,Wn off his feet and dragged a distance of about half a mile. The horses were ultimately stopped, ancl the lad was found to be insensible. Ailedical aid was immediately sent for, but notwithstand- ing that all was done for his relief which • medical skill could do, he clied in about half an our. • BAR BURNED.---Tn Stanley, on May 6, betw en the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a barn belonging to Mr. Stanbury, Con. 2, Stanley, was burnt to ashee in a very few minutes. The or- igin of _ he fire is unknown. It was first li noticed 'n a dunghill at one end of the barn. Mr. Walker, the man on the place, first noticed it when he was in the field, about 40 rods from the barn, and before he could reach it, it was enveloped in flames. M. Walker's house was only about seven rcids from the barn and it was quite - a job to save it from the de- vouring element, the wind blowing in B that direction., But through the assist- ance of the neighbors the house was saved by pouring water on the roof. They took every article out of the house, expecting every minute it would be con- sumede The less will not be se great to Mr. Stanbury as there is $250 insurance. There was nothing in the barn at -the time. --Com. , • COURT OF BEVISION.—The Council met as a Court of Revision, at Varna, on the members present; the Reeve in the Chair.
