GOOD WHEAT. -Mr. George Sproat, of
Tackersinith, has shown us a sample of
Seneca fall wheat grown on his place
which presents as fine an appearance as
we ever saw. ,The heads' are long, well

stra,w is tough. and hard. Mr. Sproat
has about 25 acres of this wheat, which
he thinks,. from present appearances, will
yield. over 40bushels to the acre. It will
be ready for harvesting in about two

STRUCK BY LIGIITSINO/.-On Friday
morning last about half -past 5 o'clock,
during the rain storm, the residence of
alr. A. Garda° was struck by lightning I
and badly shattered. The fluid struck
the building on- the north-east corner
and tore the corner clean ut, scattering
splinters of boards and timber around
the yard. and adjoining streets. It ran
down the side of the building, tearing
away its course before it, • and finally
entered the cistern and escaped into the
ground. The entire building was badly
wrecked, but strange to say there was
not aboard. or shingle so much as scorch-
ed. The shock was very severe, and
caused a great commotion in town for a,
time. Several horses which were stand-
ing around. the streets at the time were
frightened and ran .away, but no person
was injured. It it ahnost miraculous
that the inmates of Mr. Cardno's resi-
dence all escaped uninjured, as they were
scattered around through the house at-
tending to the morning household duties.
In fact one of the Misses Cardno had
been engaged in making a bed in the
room where the lightning entered, and

evening, the Reeve, Mr. John Leckie,
moved, seconded by Rev. E. Robinson,
