from coming' any distance. The entries
were elle " Clippers " of Brussels, the

of playerg from Gerrie and Wroxeter,
commonly known. in base bell circles as
"Scrub." The forenoon was occu-

" Clippers " coming off victorious: The

frequently interrupted by heavy showers
of rain, but cleared up in time to allow

bottona of the box on the light wagon.
When the horse had got to Mr. Fen -
wick's gate the lad, for he was only
'about 12 years of age, pulled the reins
and turned. hien in, thinking to stop the
animal in. his Cana. But he inisjudged
his mettle, for when he got upon the
side -walk which runs past the (tate, he
stopped. for °lie instant only, and then
-with a bound cleared the gate like a
deer. The crossbar of the shafts caught
against the pickets and. prevented the
horse going any further, .and. the front
part of the wagon was held euspended
in the air. The box came off alla fell
to the ground, and in it the boy was
sitting without having einstained the
slightest injury, though he was pretty
badly frightened.. The horse also lwas
uninjured. ,

ed over this place la,st Fridayafternoon.
The rain came down in. torrents, and
the wind blew a perfect gale... The roof

the end wall was crushed down, and
other buildings were slightly daraaged.
Great injury was done out in the coun-
try. Fences in some places were lev-
eled to the ground, and trees were
blown in every direction. Most of the
grain in this section has been secured.,
or the damage would have been exaore
serious. .

garden, gobbling up all their vegetables,
and if spoken to her owner only talks of
faulty gates and fences. But this brute
is well known. to make her way into
gardens were the best of gates are se-
curely fastened every night. We think
it would. pay garden owners on Queen
street' to raise by subscription 15 cents
per week, which would board. her de-
cently in James Wilson's pasture field,
and save their gardens from being turn-
ed into cow pastures. -
