Being alvaluable animal Mr. Hagyard consulted several parties as to what had best be done in the case, and was informed by Many that he would have to kill her. Not caring to-do this, he called in Mr. J. Upshall, V. S., of Clinton, who remov d two large wens ill avbeor., about the size of tur ey's eggs from its throat, and now the east is as sound as e Usb9rne. SCALDED.–A few lays ago a child of Mr. R.

The fire soon 'spread :' and all was enveloped in flames in a few seconds. The cattle ' and horses we'. all taken out except Cne cow and. calf which were burned in the flames.

HUNTED BY HOUND S.—A few days ago Mr. Samuel Crich, of the 2nd Concession of Tuckersmith, had a very unpleasant experierLe. He was busily engaged chopping wood- in. his -bush when be was suddenly and furiously attacked by a pack of hounds which were on the scent of a fox. Mr. °rich got out of their way as speedily es pos- sible,but could not way them off him until he mounted a stump and beat them off with a sticka After keeping him a prisoner a short time, -and find- ing that they were getting the worst of the encounter, the savage brutes left, thus relieving Mr. Crich from his un- pleaSant position. The hounds are sup- posed to belong to some Clinton sports- men. OBITUARY.–We are again called upon to chronicle the demise of another old. and much esteemed. resident of Tuck- ersmith, in the person of Mrs. John McLean, of the London -Road. Mrs. McLean had been suffering from heart disease,for some time. On Sunday last she became suddenly ill, and- on Mon- day evening she breathed her last. She was 70 years of age. Mrs. McLean was the eldest daughter of the late James Chesney, and. was a sister of the Messrs. Chesney, of Tuckersmith. She was a native of Scotland, and came to this country with the other members of her familY in the year 1835. She married Mr. McLean about 38 years ago. She leaves behind her a family of three sons and one daughter. She was a woman of many virtues, and. her memory will long be cherished. by a host of warm friends outside of her own family. She ever strove to live at peace with all and to give offence to none. .In this she was eminently successful, and the death of few will be more deeply or geiaerally regretted" than that of the de- ceased lady who forms the. subject of this notice. tween the Council and the citizens, the former being in favor of the Ameriean and. the latter of the Brussels engine. We must congratulate Mr. Ronald upon his success, and that, in every case in which the different engines have been purchased upon their merits, he has Come off victorious. THE NEW MANUFACTOBT.–Mr. Ron- ald, of the Brussels Steam Fire Engine and Agricultural Works, is now fast , fitting the machinery into place in his new buildings.

SHEPPARD JUBILEE SINGERS. – This troupe appeared before a large and ap- preciative audience, in Gofton's Hall, on Tuesday night last. The object of this troupe is to represent the style of con- ducting camp, meetings, in the days of slavery, and we have every reason to believe that they succeeded in giving a very perfect representation. The sing- ing was very much admired by the audience, especially ' The Forsaken Slave," by Miss Weslee • and "Old Black Joe," by Mr. Bassey, their ap- preciation being, made manifest by in- sisting on encores, which was cheerfully responded to. The manager, Mr. Bas- sey, during his opening and. closing remarks, explained to the audiende the peculiar difficulties under which the troupe laboured. from a want of educa- tion, and which had compelled them to adopt this method to accomplish their ends, and said. 'in effect, that through the generosity and liberality of an en- lightened. public he trusted that o'er long they would be enabled fo show, to the world, that the negro race was as high- ly gifted as any other race under the broad canopy of the " heavensi So delighted were the audience with the evenings entertainment, that a definite promise was requested that they would visit this place again, and after some hesitation they agreed to come back in the course of a few weeks.

The animals were going at a furious rate, and when pass- ing Mr. Hodgson's buggy the vehicle to which they were attached. struck the right hind wheel, and riddled nearly every spoke out of it.

The object of the meeting -was to decide upon the place where the sale should be held and to fix the -date. Offers of bonuses were received from Goderich, Clinton, Exeter and Seaforth as inducements to hold the sale in each of these respective places. Goderich offered $265; Seaforth,1-208 • Exeter, $150, and Clinton $125. After dis- cussing the matter the several . places were voted on by ballot, when -it was found that a majority decided in favor of Exeter, so that the next sale will be held in that town. Without explana- tion the decision of the Directors in se- lecting Exeter may be questioned by some. In point of location Clinton, un- questionably stands first, -while in. point of the money bopus Goderich occupied that position, while Seaforth came in next, and Exeter last. But the offer of Clinton was the smallest, while the lo- cation of Goderich is the most unfavor- able. In point of location Exeter and Seaforth are about on a. par. Exeter, however, has this in its favor over and above all the applicants, viz.: That the main Promoters of and most- I active workers for the Association belong to Exeter and vicinity, and the principal support of the Association thus far both in members and. in entrance fees has come from that quarter.- These con- siderations, together with the very fair grant which was offered, no doubt in- fluenced a majority of the Directors to vote in favor of holding the next sale in that town. So that, although we should. have been pleased bad it been deter- mined to hold. the sale in Seaforth, -we shall not fault the directors for their de- cision, as we believe that for the eeaSons nam4d, that if favor was to be' shown, Exeter was fully and justly entitled to the benefit of any favor that could be given.
