• rowboat to rescue it; taking a rope
with them, which was thrown over
the cow's horns, and it showed its life
by towing them rapidly some distance
farther out. After considerable -diffi-

to beach the animal, which being in

MODEL FARM EXCURSION.—The ex-
cursion to the Model Farm last Friday
was very largely attended, and every-
body had a pleasant time, yet there
were several deplorable circumstances
attendant that marred the occasion
very greatly. The train started from
Centralia, going via Clinton to Guelph,
when it arrtved here it was, seemingly,
packed full, yet 300 more passengers
had to find accommodation as best they
could. At Seaforth a similar number
were waiting, but they had to go by
special train. The authorities at the
Farm had calculated on an attendance
of about 400, and made provision for
feeding this number. so that when 1400
arrived instead, their resources were
taxed to the utmost. Prof. Mills,
and staff, however, were equal to the
occasion, and entertained the entire
crowd as far as required. As the ex-
cursion was passing Seaforth it struck
a cow, hurling it against a fence and
breaking its hip; it had to be killed.
After a second excursion train had
passed Seaforth, a woman picking ber-
ries along the track, found a little
three-year old child lying dead in the
ditch, with a wound upon its head; no
one knows how the ackiderithappened,
but it is supposed that 'the child had
been sitting by the track, and thetrain
raining along with an engine running
backwards, had struck and killed it in-
stantly. The child belonged to Mr
Rich. Barry, about a mile east of Sea-
forth,who was on the train, and did not
know of the fatality until communicat-
ed with by telegraph on his arrival at
Guelph. Another sad fatality also oc-
curred near Stratford; in the evening
a farrnerocifits sending his horses home
from the field, and had placed two little
girls on the horses'backs, when the
horses got frightened by the train; one
f the little girls escaped all right, but
beether got entangled in the harness
nd was killed
Nos. -Jas. Holden, who has been
seriously ill for sometime, is apparent-
ly holding his own. That is a real
good fence in front of the residence of
Mr Wm. Harland, Rattenbury street,
but it looks very lonesome, now that
the others have been removed. The
rain of Monday -morning was very
much needed, and will do inestimable
good, especially to, the fruit crop; the
rainfall was over two inches of an ave-
rage. A worm, said to be the genuine
army worm, has made its appearance
on the farm of Mr W. Weir; fortun-
ately it is only in very small numbers,
and bas not succeeded in doing sny
harm so far Mr Thompson, who left
the House of Refuge last week, was
found over in the township of Grey,
and was brought back as an inmate.
D. Cantelon shipped a quantity of hogs
on Tuesday. Little by little the fences
around town are coming down, with
the consequent improvement to pro-
perty thus made; there is still plenty
of room for improvement- plenty of
fences that might profitably come
down. • The Doherty Organ Co. ship-
ped car -of their world-renowned ' or-
gans this week to Liverpool, dud an-
other car to Bruce Mines. Mr Charles
Wallis shipped two cars of horses to
London, England, yesterday, R. J.
Cluff is laid up with a mild form of
fever. The wife of Mr Frank Baer,
who was ill for some time, is getting
better. Mr N. 'Robson has rented the
cottage at present occupied by Mr W.
Foster, Albert St. Messrs Levis &
Wigginton set up a new Massey -Harris
binder for Mr Ezra Pickard, Holmes-
ville, on Menday, who commenced cut-
ting his oats that day; this is excep-
tionally early to cut spring grain. -
Bowers Bros., painters, have been im-
proving the interior of J.Biddleconsbe's
store. One evening last week three
cyclists went out for a run about 12
miles into the country; just after they
started home the chain of one wheel
broke, and the others had to borrow a
rope and tow the unfortunate home. -
The sympathy of their many friends
went out to Mr and Mrs A. 0. Pattison
last week, in the loss, by death, of their
eldest son Ariibrose James, at the age
of 16 years, and this was shown in the
profusion of flowers that adorned bis
coffin, and tbe very large number who
ttended the funeral on Sunday. Mr
ill White, of Winnipeg, formerly of
Clinton, is at present in the city 'heif-
pital,where he underwent an operation
for stoppage in the bowels; his condi-
tion at one time was critical, but his
old friends will be glad to learn that at
last accounts he was improving. A
