To say that the Huron County Atlas is a mag- nificent work is simply to express an opiuiou which the mosti casual glance will formulate, and the most careful iu- spection will confirm.

He was 75 years of age. At one time a strong, healthy and vigorous man, the hardships And labors of his early life told Severely upon him, and during the last year or two be fail- ed rapidly. His death was caused by no particular disease, simply -nature giving way under a weight of years. He with Mr. John Broadfoot were the first settlers on the Mill road. He came directly there frona the old country, and settled. on the farm where he lived un- til his demise on Monday last. Mr. McCartney was a quiet unassuming man, a good citizen and a useful mem- ber of society. Hetleaves a large fam- ily. of sons and daughters, all of whom are grown up and settled in life, besides a host of friends, neighbors and ac- quaintances by whom his death is re- gretted.

ACCIDENT. -011 Wednesday evening last, during the storm, as a man naraed Torrence, of McKillop, was driving home from Seaforth with a spau of horses and wagon, he met with &pain- ful and dangerous accident.. When op- posite the residence of Mr. John Gov- mulock, about two miles north of town, the horses becoming frightened at a flash of lightning gave a sudden bound, throwing the man from the wagon and dragging him a cousiderable distance. When rescued he was taken into Mr. Govenlock's and medical, aid pro- cured. On examination it was found that a fearful scalp wound, extending across and along one side of the head was the principal injury. The sand and gravel having got into the wound had to be removed before it could be dressed, making the operation a delicate and painful one. Fortunately the skull was not broken, and it is probable he will recover. Mr. Govenlock cared for the man over night, and conveyed him home the following morning in a cover- ed carriage. Blyth.

Mrs. Bine left for there on Tuesday, in re- sponse to a telegram, stating she had taken a change for the worse. Inconsistency. EDITOR,—Dear Sir: It is com- monly reported here that Mr. W. W. Connor and Mr. T. Simpsgm Reeve of Stanley, went to Clinton and voted for Kelly. Now Mr. Simpson; I believe, stands high in the Orange Society, and it is well known that Mr. Connor has woru the three -cornered hal and ridden the white horse for the last twenty years, with only one break -that time i isms Mr. Simonds, of the Sher, who ,fllied the proud position. By -the -- way, last Twelfth of July, in Montreal, Mi. Simonds rode the evhitel horse right though the mob, for which valotous act he was lionized evheie he came home, but perhaps he gavel the "boys" to understand, on the sly, that he was going to give his vote, his personal, in- fluence and the influen.ce of the Star in favor of "Pat," It has beep said that consistency is a jewel, but it don't rest in that three -cornered hat, nor the white horse, nor the Orange Society.
