RUNAWAY.—Last Friday evening as
Mr Fenton was driving into town along
the Huron road, a breeching; strap broke
ou corning down thegrade over the G. W.
R. crossing, causing bis horse to run
away. Fortunately the reins were strong
er than the hold -back!}, and. the driver's
horsemanship was equal to the emergency.
After running madly for some distance
up Huron street, the frightened animal
was brought to a standstill without hav-
ingcaused an ' damage.
BRIEFS.—The Railway Insurance Com-
pany, in which the late Geo. Duncan was'
insured,`iave paid the policy of $1,000 on

Owing to the drouth and scarcity of

pastured on his Bayfield road farm, had
to be transferred to his town farm. A
young man (name withheld) who is em-
ployed around town, has two thumbs up-
on one band; one is a trifle smaller than
the other, but both are clearly defined.
In our report of the Matriculation ex.
amination last week, we should have
given Mr J. Armstrong honors in French

had here. Mr D. R. Menzies has the
contract of erecting the new house for
Mrs McBrien, and also .that of Mr Donald

ing reference to the r cent marriage of

strong, customs collecter here, left, very
sick, for home on Civic Holiday ; Mr W.
H. Cooper, jr., tabes charge of his ,busi-
ness during' his absence, aspiringly, tray
we say? "Bill" certainly has earned a
position at the hands of his political
friends, and if the present popular cone°.
for is ever replaced, W. H. Cooper would
make an acceptable substitute. Mr Geo.
Swarts received a telegram yesterday,
(Thursday) informing him of the serious
illness of his rather, who resides near
Lordon, and he left at once therefore.—

A BREAK IN THE ENGINE.—The morn-
ing train going south on the L., 11 & B.
Monday, due here at 8 a. m., did not ar-
rive until about 9:45 owing to a breakage
in some part of the engine when between
Kincardine and Wingham, which neces-
sitated waiting until an engine could be
secured from Palmerston. The trains on
this branch of the road have been remark-
ably free from mishaps and are almost
invariably on time to the minute.
A GOOD DAY'S BBUSINESS. — The Civic
holiday excursions on Friday last were
well patronized, and the result was an
exceptionallyood day's business for the
Grand•Trunk Railway. Over 40 tickets
were sold for Port Stanley, about 25 for
Detroit, and over 160 for Toronto, with
others to points of lesser interest. To
ronto is always au attractive point for ex-
cursionists, and will ever continue so, Le -
cause people can a1whyscombine business
with pleasure in going there.
CONSOLING, ANYWAY.—A western pa-
per supplicates thus :—"Tell mer. e. -.ani
relic hosts, ye messengersof love, shall
swindled printers here below have no re•
dress above ?" The augels flapped their
wings and said : "To you a hope ifi'
given, delinquents on a printers book can
never enter heaven." We hope sub-
scribers far and near, will see the point—
so plain; pay for then-paper—never dear,
and future bliss obtain.
DEATH OF MR FRED FISHER. — Our
town readers will be both surprised and
grieved to learn of the death of Mr F. }l
Fisher, son of Mr A. S. Fisher, formerly
of this town, which occurred at Para
chute, Colorado, on the 31st of July
Fred, as' he was familiarly known, was
born in Clinton, and would be about 28
years of age. About six years ago he
went to Colorado for the benefit of his
bealtb, (symptoms of consumption having
developed themselves) and seemed to im-
prove so much that he settled there per-
manently. He was head of the Western
Mercantile Agency, and had worked up
a somewhat extensive business. In the
springy .bis_health• not. being, so goQd..as.
it had beeb, he went on a ranch and re-
mained there until the time of his death:
He leaves a Wife and one child. Prior to
his removal west he was an active mem-
ber of the Methodist church., and we
have reason to believe that be remained
such up to 'the time of his death.
}louse AND BUGGY STOLEN.—On Mon-
day night horse thieves visited- the farm
of Mr Itobt Martin, on the London road,
just south of town, and stole therefrom ; •
beast valued at $200. They then went
• over to Mr A. D Wiltsie a, across the
road, and stole a covered .buggy and har-
ness, with which they drove off: They
appear to have hitched some other horse
in the buggy, as the tracks of the stolen
horse could be quite distinctly traced for
some distance as if driven by the side of
a buggy. They were evidently good judg-
es til' horseflesh, for they first of all un-
hitched one that happened to be 't;lightly
foundered, and leaving it loose in a stall,
they then went and took one more suited
lo their wants. Telegrams were sent in
all directions and -Mr Paisley spent the
day hunting for traces of the tliieves, but
so far they have escaped detection. The
animal is a bay mare with black mane
and tail, small white strip on face, one
white hind foot, four years old, weighs
about 1500 lbs.; the buggy is a good cov-.
ered one, with wine colored gear, and a
reward of $50 will be paid for therecove y
of the property,
