THE LIVE STOCK SAL. -Parties in-
tending to enter stock for the fall sale
of the Huron, Live Stock Association,
to be held in Clinton about the middle
of October, should send in their names,
together with. the pedigrees of the ani-
- -mals they intend to offer, to the Secre-
tary, M. Y. McLean, Seaforth, without
delay, as all entries not made by the
20th inat. at the latest, cannot he re-
oordedE in the sale catalogue. Parties
having stook to sell should attend to
this at once,
ACCIDENT. -On Sunday last as Mr.
Wm. Ha.wItalia,w, of this town, was
driving a spirited horse between the
railway brossing and VanEgmond's
woollen mill, the animal became un-
manageable. Mrs. Hawkshave, who
was also in the rig, jumped out and
escaped unhurt, but Mr. Hawkahaw did
110t fare BO well. He remained in the
buggy, tryiug to control the horse, until
thrown out. The lines becoming wound
round the hub soon brought the horse
to a -standstill. Mr. Hawkshaw was
conveyed home in another rig, hut was,
lueltily, more frightened than hurt.
COMPLIMENTARY SUPPER. -A number
of the friends of Mr. S. Morrison, who
has been employed as a clerk in the dry
goods departraent of Measrs. Duncan &
Duncan's establishment for some time,
met at the Queen's hotel, on Friday
evening last, to pay a parting tribute to
their young friend. Rev. Father Shea
occupied the chair, and a very enjoyable
evening was apeat. Mr. Morrison was
also presented with a purse and a watch.
and chain, as a token of the esteem in
which he was held by his associates in
town. The sapper,for which. the Queen's
is becoming famous, was all that_could
be desired; Mr. Morrison left for Kine-
;
eton on Monday.
ACCIDENT, -On Wednesday, while
Mr. James Bennett, formerly of Sea -
forth, wee working in his planing mill
at Brussels, he met with an accident
that will lay him up for some time.
While working at the planer, he at-
tempted. to remove an obstruction from ,
the rollers, which carried his arm in
almost up to the elbow, bruising the
bones and muscles severely. Had it
not been for his presence of mind the
accident would have been more serious,
but heernanaged to grasp the screw
operating the table, with his left hand,
Etnd turned it high enough to release
his arna from the tremendous preSsure.
It was a miracle that the knives of the
planer did not take off his hand, which
was only prevented by his fingers drop- 1
ping over the end of the rollers.

found to just fill the bill for stores, office, shep

essential; the prices too, are considerably c,•heape
than for the highly ornamented- stoves. I hav
everything new in stove fixtures, drum heaters,

NEW INVENTION. -Mr. Robert Fulton,
of Egmondville, has shown us the pat
tern of a whiffietree which he has in
vented. The idea is a new one, in
the best we have seen. It is worked b
means of a spring at the back of th
wooden part, to which the hook for th
_tug is attached. By means of thi
spring both tugs will always be kep
equally tight; thereby saving all jerkin
on the horse or rig. From its construe
tion it will be impossible for the tug t
_become detached from the whiffletreei
Mr. Fulton has applied for a patent.
-A MEIN TRAMP. -On Friday last a
tranip called at Daleyts hotel, Egmond-
villa, and asked for liquor. Miss Daley,
who has been laid up for some time
from a fall down cellar, answered the
summons, and seeing that the man was
already under the inflaence of liquor,
refused. to give him any. The brute
thereupon struck Miss Daley a severe
blow, and loegire Mr. Daley could inter-
fere, had sueceeded in. rising her tip
pretty badly. While Mr. Daley was
attending to his daughter's wounds the
tramp was allowed to escape. Miss
Daley has been under the physician's
care ever Educe. A coat of tar and.
feathers would be too slight a punish-
ment for the man who would strike a
woman under such circumstances. -

LECTURE. -The lecture delivered i
St. James' Roman Catholic church i
this town, on Sunday morning last, b.
Rev. Father Molphy, of Ingersoll, o
the benefits to be derived b.
membership in the Catholic Mutua
Benevolent Association, was a
interesting as well as an instruc
tive one. The reverend gentlema
spoke for upwazds of 50 minutes, dnrin
the whole of which time he was listene
to with the keenest attention by thp
large congregatien assembled. The Cat
olio Mutual Benevolent Associatio
or as it is more familiarly termed, th
C.M.B.A:, is a purely protective society',
intended to provide for the Wives an
families of the deceased member
whereby they will be prevented fro
want, and is managed on ' the mutate
system. The lecturer dwelt at coesid
erable length on the advantages to be
derived from becoming a member, both
socially and otherwise, and closed hie
remarks by 'urging upon all young men
more especially those havieg famine
depending upon them, to join, so tha
when about to depart from this world ,the
would not have to reproaeb themselve
with any neglectSin regard to so impo
taut a matter, namely, providing for th
helpless ones left behind. In the eve
illg Father Molphy delivered a
exceedingly able sermon on th
doctrine of " Transubstantation,
the church being crowded. Th
reverend gentleman treated his subje
in a 'masterly manner, and the whol
discourse showed a depth of reasonin
and brilliancy of touch that added ver
much to its effectiveness as an orator
cal effort. We must not forget to mci.
tion that the musical part of the servic s
was well sustained, and elicited we]
merited encomiums fromthe vast congr
gation preeent,the singing of the differe it
members of the choir being of a kin
seldom heard outside of the large citie

Secretary of the Scott Act Associatio
If all those who have been identifie
with the Scott Act movement,in thS
county, directly or indirectly, perfor

done, there would not be the slighte t
room for doubt as to the result of tie
movement. -About fifty tickets were

no extra accommodation had , been pr
