Fern ACOIDEN"T.—A melancholy accident occurred at the residence of Mr. Angus Murray on Wednesday evening, August 1st, by which his youngest child (a boy abont two years old) met his death, by being driven over -with the horses and wagon. It a,p- pears that three of Mr. Murray's children were playing in the yerd, when the two oldest were bidden to go and water some stook near the lake. The children passed through the gate leading to the lane, telling the little boy to go to the houss. They ran off down the lane, never thinktng that the boy would follow, but it seems he had crept • through under the gate and followed them about fifty rods from the barn. Mr. Murray and the hired man Were taking off a Ioad of grain at the time, in the .barn, and as there was still another load in the field, - they were anxious to have it brought in, and as it was near dusk they were some- what in a hurry, so the horses were allowed to trot at a good rate doevn the lane. Not knowing that the child was near, no par- ticular notice was given to the hontes the wagon was felt to bump as if going over a sheaf, and the hired Min discovered the child and cried out, "Oh, the baby 1" Mr. Murray jumpedor fell out of the wagon, he doesn't know how, and discovered the un- conscious body -of the child. He carried him ba,ck to the house and medical taid was sent for at once, but in less than an hour the little spark of life had lied to that better world where pain and suffering are never known.

The cur- reat had evidently first struck" a pitchfork he was carrying, and following the body down had taken every bit of clothing off, even to • the • boots, which were torn to pieces. ./4 There were no marks on the body except that the hair was burned. on the head and face. —A farmer from South Easthope was in Stratford .the • other night, and partook much too freely of something stronger than "Adam's ale.' He had reached the station on his homeward journey when he espied a horse and rig belonging to Mr. Hedley Cook, which was tied ait that Vicinity, and he decided that, as it was just as cheap riding as walking, he would walk no fur- ther. 'So he took 'the horse and rig and went home. He left the horse tied in a re- tired part of the farm and went to his re- pose. Mr. Cookeand Policeman O'Donnell traced. , the rig out, and at an early hour next morning the young man was rudely awakened and was asked regarding the whereabouts of the outfit. He at first de- nied that he knew anything about it. Mr. Cook and the policeman then thoroughly searched the farm and eventually found the horse about daybreak. The young man was then arrested and brought to the city. He acknowledged the whole. thing. The case will probably be settled. — LIVERpOOL, Aug. e—Spring wheat, winter, 4s bid ; California, No. 1, 48 34ti ; pork, 678 07d ; cheese, 46s OA. • 4s 10d; red lOaci ; peas, 58 the transaetions in this line were ; 18 head, averaging 1,000 -lbs, at $2.55 per cwt; 3 head, averaging 950 lbs, at $3 per cwt; 15 head, averaging 1,100 %stet $3.35; 12 head, averaging 850.1bs, at $2.50 ; 21 head, aver- aging 1,030 lbs, at $3.40.

A likholesome Summer Drink. The following recipe for making an oat- meal drink is given by an English paper: " Take one-third of a pound of fine oatmeal, one-third of a pound of sugar, one lemon, and pare it very thin, leaving the white covering as far as possible untouched, peel this white portion off; then slice very thin, removing all pips. these two last-named parts tend to spoil the drink by making it very bitter. Put all these into a three -pint jug, Mix into a paste with cold water, then pour boiling water on them, stirring until the jig is nearly full ; let it stand for twelve hours; then add two quarts or five pints of cold pring water. It is then fit for use. • This irink is nourishing, thirst -quenching, cooling and satisfying. eamos Live Stock Markets. BUFFALO, August 6.—Cattle — Market steady.

MONTREAL, August 6th.—Cattle—A lit- tle business was done by two leading ship- pers at 3P to no to -day, but unless English markets show substantial gains, these deals • will result in a loss. Estimating on the last three markets on the other side, cattle would have to be brought here at 3c to re- alize any profit. At the East End market, a few of the best beeves were sold at about 3P per lb, with pretty good stock at from e ,little over 3c to 31c ; common dry cows, rough, half fatted steers and thrifty young stock sold at from 2ne to nearly 3c per Si ; some of the leaner beasts would not bring over 2c -per lb. • Calves were more plentiful than usual, but they were mostly of corn - mon and inferior quality, selling at from $1.75 to $4 each. Sheep and lambs contin.ue to bring pretty low prices, the sheep Selling at from $2,25 to $4.75 each, and iambs at from $2 to $3.75. Fat hogs are rather plen- tiful and lower in price. Sales to -day ranged from $5.15 to $5.35 per 100 lbs. TORONTO, August 7th.—There is no per- ceptible improvement in the export cattle business, and as on previous market days, Mr. Eakins, of Port Hope, was the only buyer. He purchased five lots, which brought the followingdpriees :- 38 cettle, av- eraging 1,270 lbs,ats $3.50 pevewt ; 59 head, averaging 1,400 lbs, at 3.80;$ _22 head, av- eraging 1,300 lbs, at 3.50;$ 20 head, aver- aging 1,350 lbs, at $3.60, and 20- head, aver- aging 1,280 lbs, at $3.50. The demand for butchers' cattle is also very quiet,. but the best quality is readily caught up. Among Yours Truly, A. G. AULT. Witness, J.
