Tho Iltato John Hodge: CLINTON Varna GOOD FARMERS — One of your Clin- ton business men being in our village the other day, expressed his pleasure with the general appearance of the farms around here, and especially those owned by Mr Tips. Ward,who has over 300 acres right close to the village.— The accumulation of such a fine pro- perty, and the way in which it is kept, reflects credit on the owner, who justly takes pride in his fine crops, also his large vegetable garden, which would be a credit to any of the progressive gardeners of Clinton.

Allen, had a very narrow escape from being crushed to death. He had undertaken to do some rolling, and was seated on a chair fixed on the plat- form of the roller, when accidently he fell forward, behind the horses, one of which began kicking furiously and knocked the boy against the tongue of the roller, which he clinched, holding on with arms and legs with his back hanging downwards, The horses ran and kicked, but Cam. was a little too far forward to receive any blows. The team ran against the board fence, tearing down four panels and after- wards against a tree, breaking the tongue. At this point the horses be- came tangled in the harness, and could not proceed. They were immediately caught by Mr Xllen, and just in time, for the roller was over Cameron's legs and his head was on the whippletree. Several persons were on the spot when the horses were caught, and one ex- claimed "Oh! he is dead." "No, I ani not," replied Cam, "If you can get the roller off me." Had the roller gone an- other foot, from the position of the boy, his neck would have been broken, but as it was Cam. got off with a few bruises and a dreadful fright. • • Tueliersmith; CONCERT.—The entertainment, men- tioned in these columns a short time ago, was in no way a failure, for before the chair was taken the building was filled to its utmost capacity, and a number were unable to get inside the door. Mr Cook, of Park -hill, occupied the chair, in his usual manner, and also gave a very interesting address in behalf of the order, which was much appreciated -;-he also -gave an account of the early history of the Maccabees, how they got their name, &c.; which was much. appreciated. The latter part of the program was also very pleasing as well as instructive, and was listened to by a very attentive audience.
