A WORD FOR BAYFIELD—A corres-
pondent to our cotern says : "Last
week both the CLINTON NEWS -RECORD
and the Seaforth Expositor had long
articles on "Bayfield aa a summer re-
sort " The editors of these papers had
nothing but praise for our pretty resort
and gave some very appropriate advice
on the matter. They agree that more
accommodation must be provided if we
are to retain our pusition, and to t•his
end recommend the erection of a large
summer hotel." The same writer says
of the recent visit to Bayfield of the
Minister of Militia :--"The Hon, J. C.
Patteraon drove over in a private carri-
age to inspect the harbor, and see our
picturesque resort. He had only a few
hours to etay, but in ,that time did his
business, and left many goud impres-
sions behind him of his geniality and
generosity. Ho made a thorough in•
spection of the harbor, and seemed to
understand exactly what was needed.
Before leaving, he promised to lay the
matter of repairs before his colleagues
at Ottawa,"
RUNAWAY.—La8t Thursday afternoon

A big load of flax with a spirited team

Albert street and came in forcible con-
tact with a buggy occupied by Mrs. W.
H. BAH and child and Mrs. Goldthorpe,
of Colborne. The buggy was upset
and badly smashed. The ladies and
child had a miraculous escape from
death. Both were severely bruised and
Mrs. Ball cut in the face, while the

heavy wagon caught on a telegraph pole
opposite Mr. Arthur Cook's. The ani•
