of
the 25th ult.,
Mr. R. Way, Sr., Blyth, was climbi
the fence, he slipped and -fell, injurin
himself severely. On account of h
old age and infirmity hie recovery
doubtful.
-C. Hamilton, Blyth, is -a- regula,

purchased a lot in that village from
Mr. J. Blashill and paid $300 for i
The next dey he disposed of the *sem
property for $306, Mr. J. Caney bein
the purchaser.
-Mr. M. Hadwin, formerly of Wa-
evanosh, but now of Dakota, is spend-
ing a few weeks amonet'his friends in
the neighborhood of Whigham. Mr.
Hadwin speaks very highly of that
country. He lives' near Fargo, where
he owns 21,000 acres of laud. 4-
-On the 30th ult. while Mr. Reber
Johnston, of Seaforth, was driving t
Mitchell, his teem became troublesom
to him, and in his endeavors. to brin
them to subjection he was thrown o
his back. In the fall a bottle of aqua
fortis he had in his pocket was broken
and the contents burnt his flesh fright
s, about seven hours, when it broke out
c- afresh. The loss on house and furni-
t. ture is estimated at $1,000. Insured in
e- the Howick Insurance Company for
$400. All the books and notes belong-
ing to the firm, amounting to about
in $1,300, were also destroyed.
ut -On Tuesday, the 22nd ult., the
premises of Mr. Saddler, near Whalen,
as was entered by parties unknown, who
ng carried off five kegs of lautter. No
trace of the thieves has been discover -
is ed. Sonne one is wanted, itud should

-The "headless rooster" exhibitor
r come to grief in Clinton. The authori-,
t.
ties of that town summoned him ta ap-
pear before the magistrate, for cruelty
to animals, when he was fiued $3 and
costs, amounting in auto $7. This in-
cident may add a little to the glory of
the exhibitor, but it is not alwaye
profitable to carry on litisiness for glory
alone. . _
-There has been trouble among
horse Owners in Exeter aed vicinity.
Oueday lately Mr. Mark Clarke, Of
Exeter, lost one of his stage team. -
On Friday, 27th ult., a valuable horse
t belonging to Mr. C. Dorward was so in -
o jured that it had to be killed. It was
e found in a field with one of its hind legs
g broken. It is suppased that it was
n kicked by a mate. -A horse, belonging
- to Mr. John Allisom of Usbdrne, while
e -tied in front of the post office,
- took suddenly ill and lay down on the
street, and was with difficulty prevent -
n ed from smashing the vehicle. • It was
- at length induced to start off.
f --A sawing match on a wager came
s off in Tibbet's bush, near Holmesville,
d on Monday, 29th ult., a large number of
. spectators being present to witness the
s contest. The wager was between John
- Henry and R. Autterson. on one side,
and Chas. Baker and R. Morrow on the
Iother, as to which side could I out the
most in two hours. Messrs. -Henty and
Autterson were -the winnersi they cut-
ting something over six -cords in the al-
lotted time, while the others were not
very much behind. The amount cut
altogether is considered unusually large,
in fact, as much as is sometimes done
by horse power.
-The Exeter Reflector of last week
records the following slight' "onpleas-
antness" : Many of our 'citizenS might
- have noticed the pieces of what was
once -a cutter, standing, or rat

-On New Year's Day Mr. Joh
Hargan, of McKillop, met with an ac
cident, by being thrown from p. load o
wood. Several of the b nes of hi
hands were broken, which ecessitate
him applying for surgical assistance
His injuries were attended to, and he i
now getting on as well as can be ex
pected.
-By a notice given, we observe that
it is the intention of the municipality
of Wingliam to apply at the next ses-
Bien of the Ontario Legislature for "an
Act to construct waterworks; to ratify
and adapt the by-law enow passed for
that purpose; to remove the dead from
the old cemetery; and to re -number
the town lots," and for other purposes.
-The freshet has done great damage
at Goderich. By the overflow of the
Maitland, a large amount of mill and
other property belonging to Mr. Samuel
Platt, besides a number of valuable
cows and. other animals, have been de-
stroyed. The loss is attributed to the
•
defective breakwater, the mouth of
which had become so narrow that there
was aot room for the ice and water to
escape.
-A fire broke out in Goderich
shortly after midnight on Sunday even-
ing, in the premises owned by E. Bing-
ham and occupied. by H. W., Bali as a
fruit store and restaurant, on the mar-
ket square. The rear of the building
was completely gutted, and Mr. Ball's
family had a very narrow escape, some
of the children having to climb over an
adjoining roof. Snell"; hotel adjoining
was injured by waterand smoke. The
- loss on the building is about $500 '• and
on Ball's stock and furniture, 1400,
covered by insurance.
-Mr. James Strachan, of Goderich,
has lately brought himself into notice
by inventing a life boat launching ap-
paratus. Mr. Strachan spent years in
perfecting the apparatus, and has lately
been bringing it before the notice of the
Canadian and American Governments.
As usual "the prophet is not accepta,ble
in his own country." This ingenious
young Cana,dian has, however, received
recoguition of the merits of his inven-
tion from the United States Govern-
ment, and endorsation from the highest
' authorities in the United States Navy
and those of the merchant service.
-A man ea,reed. Jas. Watson, who
had been in the employ of a Mr. Young,
of Colborne, was arrested at Londes-
borough on Christmas Day, on a charge
of carrying away a suit of clothes be-
longing to his employ -or. It seems that
the suit had been lent him for some
purpose, when he carried it away. He
put up at Swarts' Hotel, in Clinton, to
-which he was tracked. He then took
the liae of the Great Western Railway
and started north. Mr. Swarts follow-
ed on horseback by the road, arriving
at Loadesborough just as the fellow
Was about to step on a train. He was
arrested, brought back and examined
before Messrs. Searle and 1VIcGarva,
who committed him for trial.
-Mr. George Cassie, a former resi-
dent of Wingha,m, but who has been in '
the Prairie Province fer the last eix
mouths, arrived back at the former
place on Monday/ 29th ult. Mr. Cassie
likes the country -very well, but still has
a preference for old Huron. The
weathet was exceptionally severe for
two m three weeks back, the thermom-
eter standing as low as 59 degrees be-
low zero: and never in that time rising
higher than 32 degrees below 2ero. He
was on he road between Winnipeg and
Wingharn for seven daye, being detain-
ed in the drifts north of St. Paul two
days and three nights. Mr. C. F.
Miles, P. L. S., of Wingham, has also
returned from surveying timber limits
inthe Northwest.
-e-From the Hamilton Times of the
ist inst. we take the following; "We'
regret to hear of the death ,of Mr. John
B. Williams, late editor of the Howick
Enterprise. , Mr. Williams was for a
few years a minister of the Methodist
Church of Canada, but failing health
compealed him to retire from the work.
Not quite a year ago he took charge of
the paper, which he foun d a Conservative
organ, and soon changed it into a Re-
form paper. With a cultivated mind,
elear and strong political convictions,
and a vigorous pen, he served the cause
he sustained with ability and. success.
At the time of his death be Was a mem-
ber and a very acceptable local preacher
of the Methodist Church. He was the
, brother of the Rev. W. Williams, late
pastor of the Centenary Church in this
city, and now of Guelph. We extend
to his friends our sincere sympathy."
-On the morning of Friday, Decem-
ber 26th, a frame dwelling house be-
longing to Messre. Auld & Deans, Zet-
land, was entirely destroyed by flee.
Mr. Allan Auld, on returning home on
Chrietruas uight, lit a lamp and placed
it on the table. The, dog phased the
cat, and pussy, in her flight, upset the
lamp. In an instant. the floor of the
kitchen was ablaze. Mr. Auld, with
Mao assistance of a neighbor, managed,
as they thought, to put out the fire. On
Friday morning Mr. Auld came to
Wingham to see an insurance agent in ,
reference to the damage done. While
in town a messenger from Zetland in-
formed Mr. Auld that the house had
beeu burned. to the ground. It seems
that tho fire had been smouldering for
er lying,
op. It
vey, and
although it looks. like it hadj arrived
efresh from the.scene of a dynainite
plosion, it was once a very handsonat
rig. • One evening of last week, two of
his Cons were driving quietly along the
road, when they were met by two men
named Polland and Davis, who tried to
perform the wonderful feat of, passing
on both sides at once, with what result
we have already shown. One of the
lads was slightly hurt, and it is indeed
a miracle that they escaped alive. It
will cost about $25 to repair the cutter,
which the furious driving gents will
have to pay. They were &nested and
taken before Squire Gidley. Polland
had to pay $6.65 for his fast driving;
the' charge against Davis was with-
drawn.
