Acceeexe.-We regret to learn that
Mr. John Lounsbury of this -town, met
with a very painful accident on Satur-
day last. He was engaged at the -saw
mill of his sou and was assisting in
taking logs in from the yard to the
mill. The truck, loaded with logs, was
- Maio hauled up the gang -way, when
the Alain broke, allowing it bo run back
with great rapidity: Mr. Lounsbury,
was standing behind,supporting another
log, and was consequently unable to get
out of the way of the retreating truck.
It struck the log which he was sup-
porting with great force, knocking it
over on to him and. severely bruising
• and crushing him. Fortunately, how-
ever, he did not have any belies broken.
Considering his position, it is almost a
miracle he was not killed. His many
_friends will be pleased to learn that he
is recovering as rapidly as the nature of
his injuries will pernait.
•
THE FARMERS' PIO-NIC.—The pic-nic
held in Payne's Grove, under the aus-
pices of Egmondville Grange, on Tues-
. day last, was fairly attended, although
• there were not nearly so many present
as there should have been. The weath-
er was warm, but in the grove it •,waS
very pleasant. At about 12 o'clock the
table& were spread with a bountiful
supply of the very choicest eatables.
After all had satisfied. the requirements
of the " inner man," Mr. John Hannah,
Deputy Reeve of Tuckersmith, took the
chair, and deliverecl a neat and appro-
priate opening address. Short and ap-
propriate addresses were delivered by
Rev: Mr. Graham, and Mr. G. E. Jack-
son, of Egraondville, Mr. John Mc-
Millan, of Hullett, Mr. Michael Mc-
Quade, of Tuckersmith, and Messrs.
MeLeon and Dr. Campbell, of
Seaforth. All present seemed to enjoy
themselves to the full. Aplatform -on
whicb to pra-etice the"' light fantastic"
*had been prepared, and, was liberally
patronized by the young 'people dur-
ing the afternoon and till late in the
evening. -
THE STEAM THRESHER.—tast Sat-
urday afternoon and evening our town
was more than usually visited by a
large number of farmers and threshing -
machine men from different sections
to wituess the "Eclipse" portable thresh-
ing engine in operation, elvhich was pur-
chased by Mr. John Modeland, Tucker -
smith, from the Messrs. W. & P. Hog-
gart, of London. The engine was put
in operation on the south side 6f Mr.
Kidd's store and ran the whole after-
noon, and until after dark in the. even-
ing, and wits put to some very severe
tests, both in regard to its power and
fire -proof qualities, and although many
doubtful ones attempted to get at spark
to show itself by stirring up the fire
and coals with pokers, it fairly baffled
all their efforts. All the spectators ex-
pressed perfect satisfaction and. confi-
dence in the ability of the -engine for the
purpose for which it is intended, and
their is no danger from fire. This en-
gine has insurance license to be used
_within 20 feet of barns, and. it is but a,
question of a short time until these en-
gines for threshing and other farm pur-
poses will be brought into general use.
We are glad. to learn that the Messrs.
Hoggart have sold several of the
"Eclipse" engines through this section.

DOINGS IN Cep-NOM—At the meeting
of the Town Council held on Menday.
evening a letter was read froth Xr.
Hohnested to the effect that the eesi-
.dents of Harputhey h,a,d some years
ago constructed a side -walk from their
village to the western limits of • the
town, and. that when the town limits
were extended, a considerable portion
of this walk was taken in by the town.
Hohnested, in behalf of the citizens
of Harps -whey, asks that this port of
their walk included in the town limits
be uow paid for by the town, and that
the money for it be devoted to renewing
the walk from the present town limits
through Harpurhey. The communica-
tion was received. and a motion paased,
declining te take further action in jthe
matter, as the walk so assuneed. by the
town will have to be renewed- this eeeei
son, au.d also because the Council have!
no power to authorize the expenditure
of money outside the town limits. • The
tenders of is. McDanald & Co., for lum-
ber for drains; of Coleman & Gouin-
lock, for elm, and of Secord, Coseus &
Co., for pine for, side -walks, were ace-
eepted. The tenders of T. Downey for
tamarack and of T. J. Wilson for cedar
'umber were also accepted. The re-
signation of John Campbell as Council-
lor for the East Ward was accepted
and the seat declared vacant. The
Seaforth Cricket Club were permitted
the use of six of the hall seats, on con -
adieu that they be returned in good
order. The Street Committee were 'la-
structed to proceed with the work of re-
pairing side -walks as soon as lum et
can be obtained.. The iStreet Com it -
tee were also instructed to proceed. • 'th
drainage, grading and ether works ,re-
cently recommeuded in their repert.
After passing a number of accounts
and transacting some other wimp rt -
ant business, the Council adjour ed
for two weeks.
UNION SABBATH SCHOOL Pre-Nio.—
The annual pic-nic in connection with
the Sabbath Schools of the Presbyterian,
Canada Methodist and Methodist EPis-
copal churches, will take place in
James Beattie's grove, on July 1st. A
plentiful supply of swings and o her
amusements, as well as eatables nd
lemonade, will be .furnished Sab ath
School children. The singing will, be
in charge of Prof. Jones, and short !ad-
dresses are expected from the, Mayor,
Reeve and the members of the tcwn
council; also from Mr. Win. Hill nd
the local clergy. • Strawberries, ice
cream and other refreshments may be
obtained at moderate prices on the
grounds. •
CHURCH theiore—At a congregati nal
meeting of the menibers of the Seaf rth
Presbyterian Church, held on Tuesday
evening, the bases of union -bet en
that congregation and the congre„sa ion
Of Harpurhey, was submitted and con-
sidered. After being slightly amen ed,
the basis of union was adopted by tho
meeting. The matter has yet to . re-
ceive the sanction of the Presbytery be-
fore it takes effect. This sanction will
likely be given at the next meeting.
Some 32 families' have intimated their
desire to unite with the SealOrth con-
gregation. The united congregation
agree to pay towards the support of.
Rev. Mr. Barr, who retires from active
duties, the sum of $5 per annum for
each family of the Harpurhey congrega-
tion which joins the united • congrega-
tion. This union will, no doubt, be
most advantageous to both congrega-
tions, and will allow an aged, esteemed
and. worthy pastor to retire from active
service on an allowance nearly equal to
what he now receives while in active
service. Two weeks ago we wore in
error in stating that there are 80 fam-
ilies in connection with the Harpurhey
congregation. There are only 40 fana-
ilieseesnd 32 of these have expressed
their desire for andintention to join the
union.
TEIE IBISIITOWN Pic-Nec.—We wo4ld
again remind out readers of the annual
pic-nicto be held in the grove at Iriala-
town, on Tuesday next, July 1st. The
• prograrame of the day's sport is t a
lengthy and well-prepared one, and the
committee will spare no pains to make
this one of the most successful as well
as the most entertaining,both for Youag
and old, that has ever been held in
Irislitown before. The prize list for
athletic sports of all kinds will form
one of the chief attractious of the day,
and the prizes being extremely liberal,
noseloubt keen competition will be the
result. The band of the 33rd Huron
Battalion has been engaged for the oc-
cession, and will give chtice selections
of popular airs at different intervals
during the day. There will also be a
grand open air concert in the afternoon,
in which about 500 schoTolchildren will
take part, besides some of the best
muSical talent from Stratford, Seaforth,
and other places, and. for those who de-
light in tripping the "light fantastic
to0'. there will be ample facilities for
enjoying themselves to their heart's
content. Speeches will also be deliver-
ed be; -prominent gentlemen from a dis-
tance, so that all may enjoy themselves,
even those who may not wish to take
part in the amusements of the junior*
Mr. J. B. Watson, Canada's orator and
humorist, has also been engaged for the
Occasion, and will deliver one of his
humorous and. characteristic lectures,
ande to hear whom is alone Worth
the • price • of the admission ticket.
The trains going east and west on t e
Grand Trunk will stop opposite t1ie

off and on, and should the weather le
favorable, there will undoubtedly be
large turn out. - •

DEATH OF A PROMINENT RESIDENT OP
PERTH:—Mr. Michael Hayes, 'County
Crown Attorney and Clerk of the Peace
for the County of Perth, died very un-
expectedly at his residence in Stratford
on Thursday last. Of him the Strat-
ford Beacon says: "He had been indis-
posed. only for a day or so and his
family had no expectation that his ill-
ness would have a fatal termination.
Mr. -Hayes belonged to a family well
known in the Keith of Ireland. His
father, Dr. Hayes, was a native of
Cork, where he practised his profes-
sion with great success, and where Mr.
Michael Hayes was born in 18$1. The
family loame to Toronto' in 1842.
Michael, a promising youth, was sent to
St. Joh 's College, New York, for his
educed
corame
n. On attaining maturity he
•ced the study of law with
Messrs. Read & Leith, of Toronto, oc-
casionally varying the dry study of
Blackstone by contributions to the
press. He afterwards entered the of-
fice of Mr. (now Sir) John A. Macdon-
ald, and was for some years in the office
of the Attorney -General West (Upper
Canada.) In December, 1865, he re-
ceived the appointraent of County At-
torney for Perth and afterwards Clerk
of the Peace, on the flemise of Mr.
Linton. Mr. Hayes was a well-read
and well-informed man, and during his
residence in Stratford made many
friends. . His sudden death is much re-
gretted and deep sympathy is expressed
for his seffiicted family and relatives."
The County Council of Perth, which
was in session at the time, passed a
resolution of coadolence with -the -widow
and family of deceased, and afterwards
attended the funeral in a body. Mr.
Hays was a younger brother of Mr. M.
P. Hayes, Manager •of the Bank of
Commerce in this taWn.

THE CROPS.—The weather continues
dry and sultry,and a good shower of rain
would not come amiss in. freshening
the spring crops and. setting the turnips
..into good .growing condition. Fall
wheat has all nicely headed out and
presents a good appearance. If present
prospects keep favorable, we may cal-
culate on an average crop. The hay
yield will not be as heavy ;this year as
last, owing to the dry weather and
heavy frosts which occurred in the fore
part of the season.- •
DISREPUTABLE CONDUCT.—About two
weeks ago some individual broke into
Wm. Hill's cheese factory, Winthrop,
and entirely destroyed three fresh
echeeses. They unscrewed the lids of
th.e boxes and, with some instrument
scooped out the centre of •the cheese.
They had endeavored to get upstairs,
where all the May cheese was lying,
but the doors and Windows were_ too
securely fastened, and their attempts
were luckily in vain. Mr. Hill is en-
deetvoting to find out the guilty parties,
and if he succeeds he Will bring thein
to justice. They are supposed to be
the same gang that broke into the grange
store on the 12th and carried. • away
a box of tobacco.—About the same
time some rascally -inclined person or
persons entirely destroyed and. de-
molished Mr. John Morrison's milk -
stand, tearing that structure into frag-
ments. Mr. Morrison feels deeply in-
dignant at such villainous work, and
will give the guilty parties, ifdiscover-
ed, a sharp Meson.
• Tuckeramith.
A MoDmi Fame—Mr. Editor: I had
the pleas,ure a few days ago of paying as
visit to the farm of Mr. Robert Elgie,
•of Tuckersmith. Mr. Elgie is well
known as a good. farmer, and an ex-
ceedingly modest Man. As I accom-
panied him on a tour over his farm I
thought,if this was a sample of the
farms in Tuckersmith, it was no won-
der they were going to have a pic-nic,
and have seen fit to erect a platform 24
feet square, for the purpose of letting
some of their exuberant feeling out
through their toes. Last year he had a.
field of wheat; which stood between, six
and. seven feet high, very even, and
which he now finds has averaged 47
bushel's to the acre -8 acres in the field.
The same field looks like as though it
could do it again. He has nearly 50
acres of wheat this year, and other
crops in proportion, all of which look
quite promising. He has a fine stock
of cattle, and more horses than he
needs. In fact, I think he imagines he
has a model farm. As I do not wish to
trespass too much on your space, I shall
only say in conolusioa, that although it
is all very well to be an editor, and lay
by a $1,000 or so per annum., yet I be-
lieve the farmers have the best of it.—
