The hired man jumped and escaped injury. The driver's feet be- came entangled in the whiffle and double trees, and he was dragged along the ground a considerable distance and the wheels passed over his arms and body. How he escaped with only a number of ugly bruises and discolored limbs is a miracle. Mr. Berndt, sr., an old gentleman of 72 years, realizing the serious predicament of his son, pluckily leaned forward and secured the lines, and finally succeeded in bringing the runaways to a halt, with the aid of the much frightened hired man. —Rev. Robert Hamilton, of Motherwell, has arrived from his trip through Egypt, Palestine, Greece and Britain. His many friends will be pleased to learn that his health has been greatly benefitted by his trip. He was accompanied by Rev. Princi- pal Cavan, of Knox College Toronto. After resting at home for a few days Mr. Hamil- ton started for Montreal, to attend the General Assembly. His son, Rev. A. Ham- ilton, filled the Motherwell Church pulpit during his father's absence. —Mr. Frank Elliott, of Logan, had one of Mr. B. Farrow's livery horses out on Monday night, last week, to a dance at Mr. August Klee's, in Logan. In the morning as he was starting for home he noticed that the horse was lame, but paid no attention to it. He had only got a short way on his re- turn journey when the horse came to a stand still, and it was discovered that the animal's leg was broken. How the accident occur- red is not known. Mr. Farrow went out next day, and shot the horse and buried it. The animal was valued at $90, and Mr. Farrow will have to bear the full toss. —There is a sum of $19,000 in court at Toronto that will not stay long there -for want of claims. It is the balance of the In- surance on the Hese Company's factory at Listowel, which was burned down some time ago. The loss was $32,375, and the insurance $50,000, distributed among seven- teen companies. Out of the $32,375, $12,- 000 was paid out to discharge a mortgage held by the Canada Permanent Loan Com- pany ; $1,375 was used in investigating the cause of the fire and estimating the damage none, and the remaining $19,000 was paid into court. No sooner was this done than a host of creditors appeared to claim it. Firat of ail the town of Listowel wanted $15,000. It appears a bonus of this amount was given the furniture company to induce it to locate in that town. In return a mort- gage for the amount was given for its proper fulfilment of the agreenaent,and also a bond for $1,000 for its non -fulfilment. The con- tract was broken and hence the claim. Then there axe a number of stop -orders, and 23 different creditors have appointed 23 dif- ferent receivers. They, two, are fighting for their rights. The matter was brought before Justice MacMahon and judgment was reserved. acquaintances being present. The nuptial knot was effectively tied by Rev. James Malcolm, of Teamster, the ceremony being performed on the lawn in front of the house. The bride was supported by Miss Sybil& McKay, of Detroit, and D. A. McKay acted as groomsman. —Mrs. Corky, Barriefield, was afraid of burglars, and put her money, thirty dollars in bills, in the stove. In the morning she forgot her cash and started the fire, burning up the notes. —Miss Alice Woodward Turner, of the Philadelphia School of Oratory, reader and teacher of the Delsarte system of expression and physical culture will spend the summer in Torcnto. She has studied with Mme. Gerald)! Delsarte. —On Wednesday last week, Mrs. Butcher, living about five miles south of Russell, Manitoba, was killed by lightning. bliss Butcher, who was standing about four feet from her mother, Wail rendered insensible for a short time, but recovered. —John French-, of Castleton, near Cobourg, was on Wednesday trampled upon and gored by a vicious bull, which broke loose while being untied in the stable. French was rescued by a neighbor, but not before he had received injuries whioh will prove fatal. —There is a rather novel butchering es- tabliehment in Brant township,Bruce county. Twenty farmers have banded together to kill a beef every week, eaoh member taking one -twentieth of it. Thus, in twenty weeks they will each have consumed one animal, always having fresh beef. —The experiment of shipping live lobsters from Arichat, Nova Scotia to Boston has proved a success. Although the lobsters were nearly a week on the way, yet when put on the market over three-quarters of the shipment was still alive and in good marketable condition. More and larger shipments will follow. heavy thunder -storm visited the vicinity of Teeswater Thursday last week, doing considerable damage. A mare and a colt belonging to • Richard MoBurney, a farmer living about six miles west of the town, were killed by lightning. Lightning struck and badly damaged a barn belonging to J. L.

He was drawing manure and the horses were also killed. The same after- noon and during the same storm, Joseph Sharp, jr., of Durham, Grey county, was either burned to death after the barn had been fired by lightning, or killed by the fluid, in the barn belonging to Wm. Young, Durham road, Glenelg township. —The resignation of J. B. NI orford, of St. Thomas, as Superintendent of the Canada Southern and Michigan Midland division of the Michigan Central railway, which posi- tion he has held since September 10, 1883, was owing to his ill health. He will leave immediately for Colorado. D. F. Jordan, who succeeds Mr. Morford in the superin- tendency, has for the past eight years been roadmaster of the Canada Southern railway. Zurich.

This is a lesson to farmers not to let such animals run at large on the road.—The Grand Trunk rail- • way sent here an invitation for the Sunday • schools to take part in the excursion to God- erich next week. We hope the Sabbath schools will decide to accept this grand op- portunity. Local Notices.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY. goiMemlb "This is the best medicine I ever took in my life," said a customer this week, pointing to a bottle of Mandrake Blood Builder standing on our show case. I had been troubled with dyspepsia for over two years, suffering agoniz- ing pain, and dreading meal time to come, because I knew the terrible pain would suffer if I ate anything. I had tried everything I could hear of with no benefit whatever, and even when you asked me. to try Mandrake Blood Builder, it was with a doubting heart I took it, and from the first few doses I got so inuch relief that I was encouraged to keep( on at it, and now, after using only one bottle, I feel that I have been per4ianently relieved, and the pain and distress has all gone. I cannot express my' pleasure in being able to enjoy life again. I can eat anything I fancy now; even pork is digested naturally, and not the least sympton of my old trouble remains. This remedy can be had at Orders for new work proniptly executed, and re- pairing always attended to on the shortest notice. Remember, I guarantee my work to give satisfaction, and prices are right. DAMAGED BY THE FIRE. I have aa lot of goods, such as harness, Trunks, Valises, Whips, &c., which were slightly damaged by water at the late fire, but which for use are as good as the best.

We made the greatest pre- parations we ever made for any sale, *arid expected the greatest rush. But the rush did not come, and tile goods are left. on our hands. Rain, rain, rain, and cold weather nearly all the month, was the cause. There was no need for Nice Fine Shoes in such weather. People could not wear them if they had them. So our immense stocks of FINE SHOES still on our shelves. We have got to make up for it in June. We have got to not only do the ordinary June trade, but to make up the shortage on our May sales. JACKSON BROTHERS, THE BOYS' CLOTHTERS, SEAFORTH. PARIS GREEN. We were the losers, but you can now be the winners. The nature of our business requires a certain turn- over every month. During the month of June, it will be a matter of getting money, not making money. Please to take notice, therefore, that we will continue the sale through June"and that the goods have got to go. We make it a rule to avoid carrying goods over from one season to another. It will take special efforts to carry this out this season. But if the greatest bargains ever given will accomplish it, we will succeed. Do you want fine BOOTS AND SHOES, HATS OR OAPS, GRO- CERIES, CHINA OR GLASS- WARE, TRUNKS OR VALISES. Come and see us.
