FATAL ACCIDENT.—A very depres- sing_accident o_ecurred en, Monday last, whereby Mr. John Bone, of the 9th conawas suddenly killed. It seems he had taken a load of apples to the sta- tion at Belgrave and then gone to Mr. Bryan's for a load of empty barrels, and after loading he stood on the whillietree to climb on the load and by some. nreatns slipped and fell among the horses Ifeela,—Wliate"thayskicked and tramped him and ranaway, the wheels of the waggon passing over his head and completely cracked his skull so that he was never conscious again. When Dr. McCash reached him he found him completely beyond any re- covery or help. Mr C, Proctor, sr., had climbed on the load too and had a very narrow escape, as in jumping off he fell and cut his head badly. The team came on toward Belgrave, being stopped by some threshers on McRae's hilh It is not the first time that team has run away. Mr Bone was one of the early settlers, an industrious man, an adherent of Calvin church, and, we believe, a Christian man. His death was naturally a shock to the family. He was buried at the Brandon ceme- tery on Wednesday afternoon. 611101111111)1IN CLINTON WE meet the people this fall with one of the brightest stocks ever imported to the County of Huron, It is frequently told us that it is a positive pleasure to find a place where such attention is given to meet the wants of the people as here.

Varna FIRE.—On Sunday morning last, about half past nine, our citizens were startled by the cry, of fire. It was soon ascertained that Mr Morrow's store was on fire. When first seen the smoke was bursting through -the roof and—siding— few min- utes about one hundred people had gatheredto aid in extinguishing the flames, pails and axes were secured, and in a very short time holes were cut in the roof and plaster, and two streams of water were continually pouring into the seat of the fire. Men, women and children strenously fought the fire for over one hour, when it was got under control. A great deal of goods was destroyed by the water, the dry goods, especially, which had been carried out, as it was thought at one time that the building could not be saved. The loss is estimated at $1000, fully covered by insurance. PICNIC.—On Friday last a very plea- sant tine was spent by several of the young people from the 2nd con. and Varna, at Bayfield, although so late in the season the weather was all that could be desired. The picnickers heartily enjoyed themselves in the various ways usually aot up at a pic- nic, and returned home more than satisfied with the day's enjoyment. LEAVING.—Mr Rola McCool, who has been manager of Mr Morrow's store for a number of years, left on Monday morning for Harrington, where he has purchased the store for- merly run by air White, of that place. Mr McCool has the ability and experi- ence necessary to make a success of his business, and we are sure he will do well in Harrington. He has the well -wishes of the people of Varna. He has engaged Mr John Wanless to assist him as clerk, and he could not have -made a -better. choice., CHURCH.—A series of.- special ser- vices are being held this week in the English church, Goshen line. Revs Newton and Harris taking charge. They are earnest Christian workers, and we are sure their labors will be blest. Howiek. A GRAND SUCCESS.—The Howick fall show held at Fordwich, on Satur- day, was a grand success in every par- ticular. The weather being all that could be desired, the people from the surrounding country came flocking in- to town so that soon after the gates were opened the grounds were crowd- ed. The entries in all classes far sur- passed any former year, and the ex- cellence in every department Showed clearly that the people in this section are determined to keep pace with all other sections of our great province. The gate receipts excel those of any former year by over 50 per cent. Wingham. NOTES.—Messrs T. MeClam out, and W. Bisbee were in Bluevale, on Mon- day last, at a Thanksgiving supper and entertainment in the Methodist church.

They were much pleased with their visit, having come across a number of old Huromans, who all seemed to be doing well. Mr Mills is firmly of the opinion that it is the country for a young man to go to, but he would not advise any- one who is comfortable here to leave. FIRE.—Early Saturday morning the barn of Mr Conrad Murphy, 7th con. of Hullett, was discovered to be on fire and was destroyed with its contents, consisting of a team of horses,waggon, a few peas, etc. Mr Murphy was for- tunate enough to have his wheat mar- keted.

A big time may be expected, for the hand never does any thing by halves. INTEREST TO FARMERS.—SOMe time ago it was expected that potato grow- ers would suffer this year, owing to the unsatisfactory state of trade be- tween this country and the Spanish West Indies. It happens, however, that Cuba has enforced quarantine against American vessels, on account of cholera. The prospects are promis- ing it brisk demand tor Canadian po- tatoes, and now speculators are mak- ing large purchases in the east. It's an ill wind that blows nobody g,00d. Nos. ---Mr J. W. Ross has rented the old Revere House at the station, and will run a temperance hotel in it small way—success, John. The fair on Tuesday and Wednesday next promises to he very good; if we get fine weather we will do the rest. A number from here will attend the anniversary services in Westfield next Sunday and Monday. A grand concert is to be given here, on the evening of the 12th; aim Fax and a number of other well known singers are on the program. The Toronto Conservatives are de- manding that party politics should enter into everything, from the cradle to the grave; they must have been reading up the way in which municipal elections are run here.

G. Richardson, of Front, road. Mr Richardsou was, till recently, it pupil of No. 3, Stanley, and reflects great credit on his former teacher and on the Clinton Collegiate Institute, where he received his final prepara- tions as well as on himself for the short time he took to pass such a trying examination. Sirow.—The prize lists are now out for the show, which will take place on the enlarged grounds on Oct. 13th and 14th; a glance will suffice to convince the exhibitor that the lists have been enlarged by about 40 per cent. The speeding in the ring, for which liberal prizes are given, will be most interest- ing tq visitors, while everyone is watch- ing for the saddle race, which. from the preparation being made, will be keenly contested. Nothing is wanting for amexcellent time except a suitable day. ,— NOTES.—The stern end of John Fer- guson's schooner was under water on Sunday, but is now in proper condition. We see people everywhere grovelling in the dirt, and upon enquiry find they are all after that fruit of the earth so dear to our Irish citizens; no wonder the latter draw a long face at the smallness of the crop. Progressive euchre parties are all the go here now. The "breezy" Bayfield of a month ago i§ no comparison to the breezy Bay: field of this week. Most of the fisher- men have left for up the lake. NARROW ESCAPE.—Mr John Gem- einhardt, who has been engaged on a tug on the lake, arrived hon:e on Thursday, to get a rest and become re- -ettperated,—after a-most—peculiar—acci- dent. He was in Detroit on Sabbath, during a severe thunder storm, and was standing on a street corner talking with other sailors of his crew, when a vivid flash of lightning was seen, and simultaneously the men were thrown oft their feet. Jack, who was leaning against the iron post which supported the corner of the building, got the worst of the shock. His right shoulder was burned, and his side somewhat hurt. The bolt seemed to pass across his body, and escape down his left leg, in the torm of a ball of fire, entering his comrade next him, and so passing through the crowd. It seems indeed miraculous that some of them were not instantly killed. Sorrows—Inspector Tom visited the school on Friday, for the first time since it has been enlarged. He said he noticed the great improvement in its appearance as soon as he entered the village, and congratulated all concern- ed upon the beautiful and commodious building in which the youth of Bay- field were, to form their future destiny. Several citizens were present, whom the Inspector invited to address the scholars. Dr. Stanbury gave the pu- pils some advice, warning them that while they take pride in th e appearanCe of their school, they should not forget that personal appearance and systematic application to their books at home was the only sure way to success. Mr Tom also referred to the want of .water at the school, and to the need of some slight finishing touches about the builds ing, but the latter, we understand, has -since-been met. . CHURCEL—Rev Mr Siinpson,of Bruce - field occupied the pulpit of St. An- drew's church. last Sabbath morning, having been appointed by the Presby- tery to preach the congregations of Bayfield and Bethany vacant. The -popular-preacher 'delivered one of the most practical aud timely discourses we have listened to, while the Savoir faire with which he, gave a word of warning herr, and a word of exhorta- tion there, made his renuirks most keenly impressive. In coucluding, he said, 'Be loyal to the churchof your adoption. At no time is it more need- ed than now, when your pastor is leaving you. Cling to vour church, and thereby show your love for your Master, who is the great head of the Church." Mr Simpson, as moderator pro tem, said there would be supplies every Sabbath, as usual, and expressed the hope that the vacancy might soon be filled. A gentleman from Edin- burgh, one from Toronto, and Mr Beemer, of Petrolia, are mentioned as among those who will occupy the pul- pit of St. Andrew's, as probationers. RETROSPECT.—There are, no doubt, among our readers those who when they watched the rising of the school house this siunmer, till it assumed its now proud look on the summit of the slope upon which it is built, thought of the days gone past, when every stroke of the bell seemed to foretell the stroke of the awful birch, which was daily meeted out to all alike, as a sort of salutary discipline. Bet these same readers have also thought of the great men and useful women who have issued from thie school in its earlier days, and have wondered if the future will be productive as the past. Judge Gordon, of Michigan, and W. G. Mur- dock, the great criminal lawyer of To- ronto, were fellow students at the Bay- field public school, and finished their literary education theta. The late Prof. John Gibson, well known in sci- entific circles, received his early educa- tion here, while many who ornament the professions of Canada and the States to -day were tutored behind the same walls. The girls, too, of former days, are now filling their onerous part in the best somety of the larger cities, and one i§ naturally inclined to inquire, what will the future bring forth? With the inspiration of so brilliant it record, we shall vvatch with the parents of Bayfield the 8tudents climbing rung after rung the ladder of their choice, till the present re -opening of the school shall Mark another era in the edecational aclearidemetit of the town( Bayfield DEATH.—The people of our village will no doubt be sorry to hear of the death in Toronto of Miss Edith Stone- house, second (laughter of Mr. Alfred Stonehouse, now of Clinton but a for- mer resident of Bayfield.

Mrs (Dr) Stanbury returned on Satur- day from Toronto, where she has been attending the meetings of the Pan - Presbyterian Council and Women's Foreign Missionary Society. Messrs Wm. and John Jowett and Israel Geof- frey sailed on Friday morning, on the former's pretty little yacht Daisy; they are off up the lake on a shooting expe- dition, and will no doubt have a "crack" time. Mr John Esson took a trip to Nairn, on Friday, to see his daughter, and returned on Saturday. We are pleased to report that Mr Chas. Fan coner, who has passed through a very critical illness rs now convalescent. Two daughters of Mr Richard Lock- hart came up from Petrone, last week, where they are living, and took their father back with them; Mn Lockhart is one of the oldest residenters of Bay- field, having spent almost half a cen- tury in this place; he will reside at Pe- trolia in future.

The deceased belonged to Wroxeter and went to Paris only eight months ago. He was of a genial and kind disposi- tion, a member of the Presbyterian church, and took a great interest in church work. His parents were both with him at the time of his death.

The speakers were Revs Messrs Fisher, Smyth, Shia ton and Gilpin. On Tuesday evening a ten cent social was given, the pro- ceeds amounting to over $15, which, considering the very wet night, was very good. The proceeds in all amount- ed to nearly $100. Seaforth.
