A number of the neighbors ,save a 011a2e, and the brute was brought down by a e hot fired by -a young man named McKinley. It weighed one hundred aud sixty pounds. Ur. William Meyer au old and re -1 apetatod farmer near Port Hope, was on Saturday afternoon killed ou the street by a kick an the head from a horse he was diwing. Ilia skull was smashed iu. and death wee almost ivatanoous. On Saturday morning last the work- men of the G. W. Be, while on their way to work, and when two miles woo' of Glencoe, came upon the body of a man lying close to the trach. Tlie un- fortunate proved to be e man named Murdook Moline, wlio resides in that neighborhood, and it is supposed tluit No- 27 freight west had atruok him during the night, while he wan Iying asleep along side the track. The re- mains weee fsadly mangled. The work- men retrieved the body to Glencoe sta- tion, and his friends teck charge of it. On Saturday night, Constable Rob- ert Orr, of the 8th concession, London township, brought to London a man named Williams, and had him reinau- ded to ea:I, on a charge of assaultiug him end ;another man, by throwing stones at and hitting thorn. A cluoiting match has been .arranged for between • Cha*les Waskinsaw, of Newry, and William Bright, of Listo- well, to conte cff at the latter place on Friday, Oth July; Stakes, $50.

On Friday..: afternoon .last a petition was presented to the County Council of I,rambten, whsle in session .at Sarnia, praying them .to press the Dunkin Act by-law .on ` their • own responsibility without taking'a..,vote of the people. The matter. .:has •been laid over until next session. ' Mr- Vidal, Senator, ad- dressed the Counoil ou.. behalf of the petitioners; Mr. Lister, harridan spoke on the other gide. It has been discovered in Guelph that stinking lithe used by the gas works for purifying' the gas, will keep potato bugs from potato vines."' Mix the lime with water to' `consistency of milk, and sprinkle it on the`'. vines with a broom or`brlishr and 'the• bugs will re- tire in disgust.. 4e thelime costs no- thing—for the ''gas works are glad to get rid of it—and as it has no poison- ous proper►fee, the dlarcovery is a good one, and people ought to know it. At the inagural meeting of the For- est City •Jockey, Club,; of Cleveland, which`oommenee4 .on ;Wednesday of. last : week, two well-known Canadian' horses suceededan winnipg first money.

Some months ago it was discovered that a well on the property of Mrs. L. Cartwright, corner of Ontario and Nile 2 streets, Stratford, possessed valuable medical properties. Some of the wiater. being sent to Professor Croft, of Toren - to University, the well known scientist, and analyzed by him, was found to con- tain snare Useful medicinal ingrodlonts than many of the mineral fluids he had previously examined, including the Bethesda springs and most of the cele- brated water cures of the United States. The Beacon. understands that Mrs. Cartwright intends shortly to erect a suitable buiidiug on the promisee, which will coutam Turkish, hot aur, Mineral shower and electric bash*, anti i allthe appliances for turning the semi- tory virtues of the water to the fullest account. No doubt a very short time will elapse before a large number of vis- itors will find their way to Stratford to avail themselves of the benefit cf this natural healing agent. A eueleuchoty suicide took place at the residence of ?Ir. Jos. Boyce, in Windom, on Saturday, 18th hat. Julia Young, about 20 years of age, who had lived weds Mr. Boyce (rem the time she was deyen yeare of arae, mixed some Paris Green with trster, and af– ter aloe had the dose ready told .the family she intended to poison herself, as alio was an orphan and had no friends and had no ono to look to Thr help and, comfort.

Mr..11ugh Grant, a stonooutter em - played on the Canada Pacifies Railway works, while walking with a companion from Fort William to Prince Arthur's Landing, heard a severe in a cluster of busnes near the road, and on invest- igating found tiro men trying to out- rage a squaw. 0nla of the villains was knocked down, and the 'other ran.

On Sunday morning, 16th inst., whilst his parents were at church, a son of Mr. T. H. Glendinning, of Port Perry, put his hand in his father's vest pocket to take therefrom a knife,when, in some unaccountable way, a large percussion cap used for exploding dyna- mite, {'went off" and shattered the fin. gars of his right hand somewhat severely. Mr. G. White, of Port Perry, met with a painful accident while working in the blacksmith's shop attached to Bigelow & Trounce's saw -mill. An iron spicula was driven into the eye ball so firmly as to defy all ordinary means for its extraolion. • Surgical aid was called in and the foreign body re- moved, muck to the comfort of the suf- ferer, who is now doing well. 'i1he ether day the body of Lambert Depeel (who had been killed. on Til - son's tarns, Tilsonburg, `by a stump machine)was interred in the graveyard. in London. On . Sunday it was dis- covered that the greppee of the late Ab. raham White, which adjoins that of Depeel, had been opened, but on dig- ging down it was fouud that if the coffin had been unearthed, it bad been returned. The blundering fellows had evidently mistaken 'Vie grave, and had had their labor for nothing.. .Tile grave of Depeel is now watched night- ly by relatives. • • A quarry in the .Bay of • Islands Newfoundland, ooptainiag handsome pink and white marble Sepoaits, is to be worked by a .

Scharffa, near Wingham lost a valuable horse in a peculiar way. • The horse was broachy, and having got into ono of the grain fields a dog was set upon it to drivel it out.

A few nights ago a clothesline robber made a raid. on the Srd line. After visiting several, the Anderson P. al, was visit- ed and relieved of a fine shirt, linen table cover, and some underelothiug and embroidery belonging to his daugh- ter, Mrs. Anderson. No chic has been found as to who the guilty par- ties are. Tins being the season when canines incline to the rabies, all persons who may be bitten should bear in hind not to have the canine killed. If the dog is not mad the disease known as hydro- phobia cannot make its appearance. It is well known that there are many in stances where people have died from fright, in imagining they had this dis- ease, and thus bringing on its condi- tions. •This being the case, flow un- reasonable it is to kill the dog, when by properly confining him, the injured person has evidence before flim, that if the brute does not show or develop the conditions of madness, no serious re- sults can follow. ._.-. A farmer of London township, kills potato togs unerringly by the use of a sieve, with a handle four feet long., From the sides of the sieve a flounce of cloth, cut plain, and without trine:•. ming, falls about two and a half feet. The farmer holds the sieve over a hill of potatoes so that the cloth falls all around the, vine, preventing the wind from driving away the poison. Tile sieve is filled with Paris green .mixed with flower orplaster pf paris. One shake of the siegethrows the dust through the vine, and the instrument is held still a 'few seconds to allow the dust to settle on the leaves within the cloth screen. Not a bug or slug can porslbly escape alive. • By fitting a cover ,over the top of the siege, alI darn. ger of the escape of poison is preven- ted, and none of the Piiris green •cau jfet away, except as it falls on the v:nes. There is no danger of inlluling the dust. when this instrument is used raid no' poison wasted.
