In the rear of McKillop and in 'Ai:orris Fall wheat is generally a Died crop, although in some parts considerably ruited. The , early sawn Spring grains are good, but those whicia have beet t SOMA later in the season are light and short, and. the ,Oata are not filling well and twill be a meagr crop. Hay was a fair crop, and has bee] well saved. Sp/di-1g wheat oeneral ly look well: The straw of the later sown is short, but the heads are good sized an( well filled, and the berry plump am sound. Ai:together. we think there Will be over a fair average crop in these town- ships. asFietnis..—At a regolar Huron Temple, No. 308, held in •their lodge room; day evening.

Reformers of the village. These gentlemen, as may well be imagined,: were surprised and. annoyed to tind in their own Reform pape.r such a garbled report, and they: at once repaired to Mr. Holmes' residence. to get an explanation. Mr. Holmes accompanied them to his office, explained the whole affair, and af- ter consulting with them, acted upon their advice, and allowed them to destroy the entire edition, or at least as much of it as was rem.aining,—none of the papers having at the time been circulated by mail to subscribets. These parties -took the remaining papers with them and de- stroyed them, thus causing Mr. Holmes to publish half a sheet, as there was -not time to -get out another whole sheet. This is the whole affair, and although so much noise has bean made about it, and a vile attempt made to create political capital against kr Cameron by connect- ing his name with it, we are informed on the best authority, that that gentleman knew nothing. of what had ocourred until the next Morning. - \Ve deeply synipathizo with.111r.

Wednesday of last week, Mr. Alexander Itliaay, of 'the 8th cOncession of Ttickersznith, mob with a severe and painful accident. It seems that he was coming to Seaforth, MOM- paalied by his daughter, with a span of spirited horses, which took fright at some object on the road, and. becoming unman- ageable ran away, throwing Mr. McKay and his daughter.violently from the wag- on. The ttoung lady escaped with but slight injuries but Mr. McKay himself was not so fortunate. Several of his ribs were fractured and his back bone injured. When assistance_ arrived he was lying insensible, and was conveyed to his home in thie condition. Medical. aid was at once zummoned, and we are glad to learn that he is now recovering. ,HARVEsTING OPERATE:MS.—The great- er part of the fall wheat and peas in this township are now cut, and a consider- able portion safely housed.

He was driving in company with another person who en. deavored to pass v. team in front of them, when Mr. Essen, fearing their vehicle would be upeet, jumped out while the horses were going very fast, and failing, struck his lead and shoulder violently on the ground, breaking his collar bent We are glad to learn that he is recover-. g, —AV ;geol. everesxs-vr=rm's======cer=2F2resre:zw=rz-vmut ed. some places t was cons (1 exi a I sly injured. by met.

Mr. Broadfoot was as- sisting to put a can full of Mill* npon the stand at his gate, and in doing so got upon the stand. When walking forward to step down from the stand, he tripped and fell head foremost, his head striking the ground, severely straining and injur- ing his neck. Mr. Broadfoot being an elderly gentleman and pretty stout, he must have fallen very heavily. and it is a wonder that he was not even more eeriously injured. He was in town on 'Wednesday evening last for the first time since the adeident, and although yet suf- fering somewhat is improving rapidly. lacKilicio.

GENTLEMEN: At the urgent solicitation of niaTIV of my friend!: in your Rbling, I :AM induced to present myself as a candidate for your suffrages, at the coining election, for the Holum of Commons. I need not rendud that I have had some experi-, ence public affeirs. For the last five years haTe luel the honor to represont)-ou in theParlia- mont of the Dominion. It appears iny ecindeet met the approbation of these through whose influence I wee elected ; for at a recent -Convention of the Refornt perty of the then North Illeing of RarOas I was seleeted yortr etandard-bearer at the ap- proaching election. I em not nware that I have done anything since that Convention to forfeit the good opieion of the electors. On the eontrare I think you will bear me out in stating filet I iters faithfully advocated and promoted your interests, both in and on t of Parliament, to the ntetest of my power, since I beeatne your representative. As to my votes, I claim, gentlemen, that hare stead- fastly adhered to the principles professed :mato the political party that supported me, during the whole period of my Parliamentary serviee: I voted with the recognized loaders of the Defonn party OS all (1:leafier's of importance.. In only ono easedid I tin.1 it impoesible to follow- there., viz,: on the. Dill to give effect; to the Washington Treaty- end even then I found myself in company with 2Ir. 11oltort and other leeding Reformers in The Rouse. Seine of nay friends, I am told, complain of this vote, but I be to nesitre them that I -never Toted with naoro thorough convietion that 1Ni-wit right, and that ray' • een and my country demanded it rom rue. I shall tale an early opportunity of ex- plaining more frilly my real -5031S tor supporting a ireate- which the Queen and draperial Parliament had sanctioned ; and in the meantime I atu per- suaded that you will eolith:me to extend to me the outdone() hare so long enjoyed; anti width I 3712 earnestly endeavored t -o merit.
