During the furious storm one night
last week lightning struck the cupola on
the Goderich jail, and made the boards
and splinters fly, 1; oth outside and in-
side the building. A part of the cornice
was ripped off, a scantling alongside the
window torn out, and plaster and glass
shattered, but fortunately no fire fol-
lowed, doubtless owing to the drenching
ram which was falling. In the hail
storm which passed some time previ-
ously over 40 panes of glass were broken
in the building; and now Governor
Dickson and Turnkey Henderson are
wondering what the next visitation will
be.
A diabolical attempt was made to
wreck the evening express from Strat-
ford to Goderich, due in Clinton at 9:20
last Saturday evening. Some fiends
had piled timber and stones on the track
and had the train been on time the
chances are, as the night was cloudy,
the train would have been thrown down
the embankment, but Mr. Holliman, of
Stapleton, had been to Seaforth, and
finding that the train was late started
to walk home along the trck, carrying
a lantern. When about two miles east
of Clinton he found the obstruction on
the track, and being unable to move it,
he went back towards Seaforth, and
warned the approaching train, thus
averting a large loss of property and
most probably loss of lives.

ship require 215 dogs to worry their
3650 head of cattle, 1793 sheep, 623 hogs
and 1185 horses. The acerage tilled

trious class, but they keep 9179 acres of

Brothers and C. W. Papst, Seaforth.

An accident which might have re-
sulted in death happened to Mabel
Oliver, of Bluevale. It appears that
while playing on the embankment at
Nixon's grist mill, she fell into the
water, a distance of twenty feet. Lucl-
ily, where she fell was not a shallow
spot, or the fall might have caused in
stant death. When first noticed she
was climbing up the embankment.

streets) if two are sufficient.
