Crich, artist, -of thia tenon met with a very painful acci- dent on Monday. evening - last. He was at Dorrance's, in McKillop, and about dusk he went to the stable to hitch up his horse to: come twine. He went up to the horse in the dark without_ speaking, thus, startling the animal and. causing it to kick. It struck him on the. leg, breaking the bone about half ws,y between the knee and ankle. He was taken home to Seaforth and the in- jured limb set. . He is getting along very well but it will be several weeks- before he wilt be able ta do ranch, eVen under the most favorable circumstances. • FoR Tut: Mresturan Woons.—We ciip the following from last week's Sarnia .Observer : 'Mr, Charles Richardson,: An extensive Ileater in horses, of .Alpena, Michigan, eressed at this port on Monday, _with a drove of very fine youna. horses from the, county of Huron, whicehe was taking, to the lumber woods of • Northern Michigan. There were fifteen horses in the drove, and the qnality of the stock may he judged When it is seid that some of the animals ran over 1,70a pounds in. weight, and none were less- than 1,500, The horses were bought in Seaforth„ and the depression in the home market may be judged when it is said that the average price paid was about $60 per head. A few years ago the same buyer, in the same locality,. -for the same kind of 'horses, had to pay flews $300. to $450 a span." • THE PRESBYTERIAN AT HOME.—The At Home and social -given by the Christian En- deavor Soeiety -of the Presbyterian church, on Monday evening, as a 'farewell to Rev, Ds Guthrie, who has been assistant pastor of the church, this summer, was a most en- joyable - affair, Mr. Guthrie came here from Walkerton to aseist the Com- . manion services,. and this opportunity was a.vailed of to give the members of the .con- gregation a chance to say. farewell, and en- joy apleasanb evening with him, and to ex- press their appreciation of his faithful ser- vices, The basement was beaptifttily decor- ated with maple leaves in .all the shades of brilliant autumn colering, and looked very Tretty, The programme consisted of music by the Endeavor choir,. after which Mr. L.. • McFatti„ Clerk of Session, read an ad- dress from the congregation to "Mr, Guthrie,. expressive of their appreciation of his ser- vicea in the various departments of church work.- To this Mr. Guthrie made a_suitable reply, which Was very cordially received, The remeiader of the evening was spent in discussing the excellent lunch pro_vided by the ladies,, and -in social. enjoyment.

GOOD SHEEP.—Mr. George Penhale, of Stephen, is one of the most successful ex- hibitors and breeders of Leicester sheep in this part of the country. He has made Leicesters a specialty, and he has been re- anarkably -successful with them. That he has a very superior flock is evidenced by the fact that his sheep carried off numerous prizes this year at every show where they were on exhibition, and in several cases they had to -contend with the keenest vim - petition. A few slays ago Mr. William Scott, of the North road, McKillop, visited Mr. Penhale's farm, and purchased from him two of his best rams, paying a liberal figure for them. One was a two year old and the other a shearling, and both succesa- ful prize winners. Mr. Scott has got a couple of good shell\ ROUGH ON THE BO1C.--The State Journal, of Topeka. Kansas, of the 9th inst., makes the following reference to a somewhat un- pleasant predicament In which an old Huronite recently -found himself. It says.: " Dr. J. H. McCasey, who -is still superin- tendent of the State Insane Asylum was given a good thrashing yesterday by i3ook- keeper Morey, one of the employes of the institution. Dz. MeCasey, who is large and robust, and has since his connection with the asylum boasted of his ability as a scien- tific boxer, was laid on the floor and had his face punched Isy Bookkeeper Morey, who is a little man, and is just recovering from a spell of sickness. The trouble be- tween Dr. McCasey and Morey, which has existed for several months, came to a climax yesterday when Morey, who has been sick, applied to McCasey for another man to as- sist him in his duties as book-keeper of the institution. McCasey refused to give him the assistant asked for, and the result was that Morey started in to whip his superior because he thought he had deserved it.- Dr. McCaseY was thrown down on the floor and Morey was on top of him punching the doe, tor's face with his fist, when an attendant, attracted by the oriel' of MoCasey, came to his rescue and pulled Morey off." Of course Huron boys go more to brain than to muscle, and invariably achieve more success in that direction than in the other. The position which Dr. McCasey bolds shows that he has not neglected the former, al- though he may have neglected the later. • STORE to Rent in Beattie's block, Sea - forth. - 1401-1 BEST American and Canadian eoal oil delivered to any part of the town by Mower:. & JACKSON. 4401.1 LOST.—Between Wm.

The nmeting was in charge of the pastor, Rev.FsrS,:llenderson,who opened the proceedings by a short bible reading, sup- plemented by a few well chosen. remarks,by way of introducing the subject.
