A BAD BIT;. -Or respected Reeve,
Mr. John F.wiu, had • slight encounter
with a meutber of the canine species a
few days age and seems to have got de-
cidedly the worst of tt. H. was peeling
along the streets in his usu.l quiet way
when a neighbors's dog sprang at him
and seized him by the leg, indicting a
severe wound. He had the wound cau-
terised, and although it was intensely
painful fur a fen days and laid hi.0 up,
he is new recovering and is able to at-
tend to his ordinary duties as usual.
Femme -There have been more fish
cuight from the river ,aid harbor here,
this spring, than was ever known before
in the memory of the eldest inhabitant.
For some weeks after the fishing season
came in, they could be pulled out almost
as fast as the line could be thrown in,
and scarcely • day passed round but
fisherman would be here from Seaforth,
Clinton, and other neighboring towns,
and mostly all went away with bags full.
The tish mostly caught were bast and
perch. On one or two occasions fish
weighing from two to four pounds were
pulled out. The season Lir this sort of
thing is now pretty well over, however
as the fish have mostly gone out into the
lake, and even the most ardent fisher-
man who can now consider the job
"sport," must have the patience of Job
or something more.
A BAD Ac CIDENT. -One day last week
Mr. Paul Cleave, Councillor, of this
village, met with a very dangerous
and painful accident. He was driving
down the hill to Tho npson's mill with a
span of horses and riding upon a wagon
without any box, but just sittinv on
a spring board resting on the front
and rear bolsters of the wagon, as is
very common. When about hall way
down the hill, which is very steep and
rendered doubly dangerous by being
lined on either side with sew logs, one
of his lines broke, and the horsesstarted
off at a break -neck pace. Mr. Cleave
was thrown forward on to the front of
the wagon and got his feet fastened in
the"hounds" and with his head and
body hanging down backwards, he was
dragged in this way over the road
for a considerable distance. Fortunate-
ly for him, the tongue of the wagon got
broken, thus relieving the horses from
it. They ran to the mill, where they
were stopped by the miller, who at once
went in search of Mr. Cleave. He
found him lying by the roadside in a
pool of mud, where he had been thrown,
and unconscious He was at once con-
veyed to the house and medical aid sum-
moned. His injuries were found to be
serious but not dangerous. There was
a long deep wound on the calf of hie leg
and several bad cuts on his head, and
he is otherwise bruised and injured.
1 We •reglad to learn that although he is
not yet out of donger, there are good
hopes of his ultimate recovery. -[Expos-
itor.
Tea QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. -Among the
principal attractions were the rowing
and tub races and the tug of war. The
yacht race was very closely contested,
there being only two seconds between
the tont and second boats. The tub
race elicited much amusement, as the
boys end their tubs were lure to topple
over before getting far, and then they
would have to return to shore and get a
fresh staat. The tug of wax after a very
hard struggle was won by the fishermen,
who, however, had on their end an ex-
tra than, and who came to their work
with their hands well seasoned with
alum and rosin, in which devices their
opponents were not so well skilled, and
had to supply muscle fur artifice. The
following is a list of the successful com-
petitors: Beet calithumpians-lst. J.
Ferguson; 2nd, Alex. Shaw. Running
