PERSONAL.—Mr. James I. Carter of
this town, left on Friday last for a three
weeks' tour through the Western States.
We wish him good rations, sound eleep
and pleasant dreams while gone, and a
safe return to his many friends here.
SAD ACCIDENT. -A painful aceicient
occurred yesterday afternoon to a yoking
lad, aged about 15 years, named Wm.
Ahlbure, of Egraoadville. The lad was
engaged in the flax mill in this town, and
in some way got his arm caught in ai re-
volving shaft, and was carried rapidly
around several thnes before the Ma-
chinery could be stopped. His leg was
broken in two places, and one of his
arms was broken and so severely torn
and mangled that it is feared amputation
will be necessary.
_BUSINESS CHANGE. --Messrs. E. Hir-
son & Lo. have disposed of their dug
and j ewelry business to Dr. Wercoe and
his brother-in-law, Mr. Edward Haight.
The new proprietors take possession on
the 15th of October, and in the mean-
time we understand all the balance of
the stock of crockery, glass, &c., of the
old firm is to be run off at reduced prices,
as will be seen by reference to their ad-
vertisenaents. The Messrs. Hickson have
eonducted this business with marked
success for over 16 years, which must be
very gratifying to the senior member,
Mr. E. -Hickson, who, we believe, , re-
tires in very comfortable circumstanees,
which is a satisfaction that but few mer-
chants in this country can enjoy. His
many friends will also he glad to learn
that he will still continue to reside in
Seaforth, and will carey on produce or
other speculations. From personal knowl-
edge of the new firm, we can confidently
state that the public will be equally Well
served by thennand they will, we hopeido
as exteesive a bnsiness as their predeees-
sors. We also understand that altho
Dr. Itercoe has taken an interest in this
business, he will still continue to dev te
the same attention as formerly to iis
medical practice.
BASE BALL, -On Saturday last an int r-
esting and evenly --contested base 1aU
match was played between the carpent)rs
and bricklayers of this town. At the
conclusien of the mateh, the carpent rs
were declared winders by a score of 30 to
22. The carpenters had considerably he,
ad.vantage of their opponents iit fieldi g;
while at the bat both sides were eve ly
matcher', The match was umpired to he
satisfaction of all by Mr. D. Hogan. The
following is the score :

TEE ROYCE REAPER.—The 13,o376e
reaper, or Which we made mentioned la t
week, wns tested on Friday last, on ti e
farm of Mr. Fortune, Huron Road Tool
ersmith. During the afternoon a large
number of farmers and others visited t e
field, to see this little - wonder do is
work. The grain in which it cut tv. s
(late, ansl was growing very even at d
not very heavy. .The land, also w s
level aid ia excellent order. The work
done coeld ,not be surpassed, and ti e
lightnest, of the draught was quite ap-
parent to all. Setterahpresent exprcsse

rougher ground. ItIr. Watson took t
across the road to a field of spring whe •t
on the farm of Mr. Lee. This was Cei -
tainly a very severe test, as the gnu
wag very uneven and the ground w. s
soft and rough, but it worked equally a
well her asjtj the other field. All pre
ent exnressed themselves highly deligh
ed. with working. Air. 'Watson doe
-not clairn that this machine wilido be
ter work than other machines, but h
does claim that it will do equally as good
and in addition that it is a cheaper am
lighter running machine, and that owin
to the simplicity of its -construction it ie
less liable to go out of repair than othe
machines with more intricate machinery

Sunday evening last will 14 Ion re-
membered by the inhabitan of rus-
eels. At half -past 10 the alarm of fire
Was sounded, and being early in the
evening a large number of the inhabi-
tants had just retired for tho night.
The bells soon called the whole villagc
t. The fire was discovered in the paint
shop of Thomas English's carriage fac-
tory on Market street. Below the paint
shop WAS the wood workers shop, and in
front the finishing and show rooms.
The inilainniable material( ef which these
buildings were built allowed very little
time to remove anything in them. Ad-
joining to the West wartEn ish's large
blacksmith shop, to which tbe-fire soon
spread. This building, once on fire
fermed a connecting link with the whole
Of the business part of the town. • J.
Lynn's stables and storehouse were the
next to succemb. Adjoining these were
the stores of James Lynn, merchant,
three in number, the harness thop own-
ed by Mr. George Baker and oceupied by
Mr. Ward, and the tailor shop of R.
Nott.Therm were soon all in flames, the
coHatenta being greatly damaged, having
been got out in so great a hurry. • The
ire then went south acrosa Iscarket street
the blacksmith shop, wagon shop and
welling of W. T. Hunter. The next
joining was the blacksmith and wagon
op of John Wynn. These with the
eater portion of the contents were con-
med. At the same time the fire was
fist extending north on Turnberry street
thehotel of M. Moore, and the whole
ertions of the vast crowd /1+e direct-
• e1 in trying to check the fire in its north -
e ly course. A few minuteslater the
large hotel of James Laird, with its barn,
stables, hall and sheds, on thetwest side
of Turnberry .street, fell a prey to the
flames. This then connected the whole
of the wooden block to the centre of Use
illa,ge, iucluding Stretton'e hotel. Dur -
this time the tailor shop and dwell-
ing of D. ROBS, south of Wynn's wagon
shop, had fallen a prey to the fire, and
with the greatest exertions the town hall
west of ROSS), was saved, it hating taken
re three times. • The ne' si English
c urch, south of Ross', was t ought at
e time to be in great danger, but every
precaution was taken with la ders and
water in case of cmergenciy. This
building being brick and sh gled in
ortar it would stand a greater test. The
fire VMS finally stopped in its' southern
curse after it had consumed. he dwell -
g of D. Roos, but it was making great
headway north on both sides of Turn-
rry street until it finally retched the
flie large hotel of James Stretton, with
stores, barn and stables, which were
all consumed, and had it not been for the
fine row of English poplars on he street
north of Stretton's, there is nc4 the least
doubt but that the whole of t e remain-
ing portion of the town as far a the river
ust have been burned. On the east

OBITUARY. -A soI emn h g b
mass of re-
quiem was offered tip on Sunday morn-
ing Aug. 20th in the Roman Catholic
Church of Irishtown for the I eternal re-
pose of the sent of Miss Annie Carlin
who departed this Ilife on the previous
Friday evening, surrounded by her re--
latives and friends and sustained in her
last moment by the spiritual assistance of
Very Rev. Father Murphy, who had been
to her from childhooda director and guide
in the road of virtue. The deceased was
a daughter of Mr. Thomas Carlin, who
with his family have the sympathy of a
large circle of friends. As she has been
organist in Inahtown Church for a num-
ber of years her hess will not only be
felt by her family butalsoby the 'clergy
and choir as well is by the faithful of
thecongregation w.4 .on Sunday during
divine service will Miss her well known
voice. The mass was celebrated by
Father McGrath. The choir was effi-
cient and sang with grand' effect the
" Dies Irai," that solemn plaintive cry
of a soul penetrated with tie liveliest
fear of that great judge, who will one
day scrutinize the hidden recesses of
every human heart. At the conclusion
of mass Rev. Father Ferguson delivered
a very touching discourse. In conclud-
ing he exhorted his hearers to pray
earnestly for the soul of the deceased,
and if there was any satisfaction yet due
to the justice of God, they might supply
it, and thus freed 1 by their assistance
from every stain and debt, her pure soul
might mount to Heaven, to enjoy an eter-
nal recompense in the bosom of its God.
At the conclusion of the discourse Very
Rev. Father Murphy, with visible em-
otion of grief, sang the I'Isibera" and
pronounced the absolutions The funeral
procession, then, the largest perhaps ever
witnessed in Irishtoetn, proceeded to the
cemetery, and all that was mortal of one
who has been snatched away in the flush
and bloom of youth,! was committed to
the silence of the tomb. Respected and
beloved by all who kissve her, her mem-
ory will long remain green in many
hearts. We tender , our heartfelt sym-
pathy to the bereaveg ones who are left
to mourn her loss. —Vtenreiesent in pace.

Civic HOLIDAY. -Friday,
inst., was appointed by the 11
a civic holiday, and the citize
ed their athletic tastes by &Voting the
day almost entirely to base ba4. In the
forenoon a match took place between a
married and single nine, which resulted
in a victory for the bachelors, by a score
of 40 to 33. At the beginning of the
game the single men seemed to have ev-
erything their own way, but towards
the middle of the match the Benediets
appeared to warm up i anti settle down to
business, and rapidly decreased the dif-
ference between the scores, but were -un-
able entirely to overhaul the single men,
and the game ended as above. ,: But the
event of the day was the match for the
County championship silverbe-
tween the Live Oaks, of Seaforth, and
the Silver Maples, of this place About
three weeks ago the Maples had, suc-
ceeded in capturing the cup frora the for-
mer club, and as both teams were I sup-
posed to be evenly matched, a lively
game was anticipated. These expecta-
tions were fully realized, for aThetter or

role. Before the game com enced, a
protest was lodged by the President of
the Silver Maples against a certain play-
er in the Live Oak team, who it was al-
leged, was not a regular member of that
club, and had been imported for the ex -
prat; purpose of beating the Silver
Maples. Play was called about 2 o'clock,
with the Maples at the bat They sue-
ceeded in making a goose -egg before they
retired, while in their turn the Live Oaks
scored one. Again the Maples added
nothing to their score,and again their op-
ponents scored a single. In the third
innings the holders of the cup were more
fortunate, or showed better play; and be-
gan their score by making two runs.

Search for Jesse Wild.
MR. EDITOR : As almost every person
in our vicinity believes the statements
made by the girl Abby and ()there; MU
seeing a man in the swamp near Kinlearn,
and that they think him insane, it hu
been suggested to me to ask all friends of
humanity, who can do so, to join in a
regular search for him on the let ofSep-
tember, as local efforts have hitherto been
fruitless. The swamp, owing to fallen
timber and an undergrowth of young
trees, is nearly impenetrable, and nothing
but vast number's of searchers will avail.
Those coming from Clintonwarde, or the
west, might, perhaps, -better enter the
swamp from that direction; and those
coming from the eastward might go in at
Mr. Abby's. If, as we believe the miss-
