He speaks very highly of that country for settlement.

SERIOUS MIsmu'. A few days ago, as our respected townsman, Robert Reid, Esq., Treasurer of Stanley, was going towards I3rucefisld with a `horse and buggy, and when on the east side of the railway track he met a drunken man driving at a furious pace in an op- posite direction. There is here rather a steep embankment. Mr. Reid got off to the side of the road as far as he could. When the man got opposite hire he commenced shouting and slashing his whip, frightening Mr. Reid's horse, causing it to spring suddenly over the side of the road, upsetting the buggy and throwing Mr. Reid violently to the ground. He lost control of the lines and the horse dashed off, taking the buggy with it and smashing it 'badly. The horse ran to Brucefield, where it was caught. 111r. Reid had a couple of ribs broken, and was otherwise se- verely bruised. He is again able to be around; but is still suffering from his injuries. - Brussels. - FALL TRADE. -Our town merchants have all received a large stock of fall goods, and are doing a good trade.

In the road and ca riage class, while there was remarkably fine show of young stoc the carriage and buggy horses were fe in number and only moderate as quality. This has been the case at a the shows this season, and seems to i dicate that this country is pretty we cleaned out of eligible road and carriage horses. When the young stock grows up, however, if they are not all gobbled up by the Yankees as soon as they at- tain. maturity, there will be some dash- ers. There were mile four or five ex- cellent saddle horses shown. Saddle horses are now getting out of date in this partof the country, and we can .ecarce- ly see the -utility of Offering prizes for this class of horses.' Some fifteen or twenty years ago the saddle horse could. not be done without, but now, in this age of gravel and turn -pike, it. ma be truly said, " his usefulness is gone.' Judging from this show the farmers o East Huron do not -pay nearly so much attention to- the breeding cif cattle as they do to horses.

In sheep there a very good show.

The pigs were few in mini hers but those competing showed. goo breeding and were creditable. In poul try there was a nice show embracin seveeal very fine fowls. The geese wer especially large and handsome. In implements there was the usual larg and varied dieplay ; all the principal manufacturers doing business in the lo- cality being well represented. In this department we noticed something new in the shabe of .a farm gate, shown by Mr.. Joel Briggs, of Beucefield. It at- tracted much attention, and seems to be a very handy, simple and useful contri- vance, which can scarcely fail to be- come speedily popular. There was alSO he a good. display of nicely finished and comfortable looking carriages and bug- gies. The Messrs. Watson, bf Brussels, were, we believe, the' principal exhib Directors of the Agricultural Soci he again visited the show grounds, and at the conclusion of the show .delivered a short addeess which was listened to with great attention by the assembled multitude. In the eveningehe delivered his promised addrese in the town hall. At the appointed hour the chair was taken by Mr. J. S. Smith, President of the Bruseels' Reform Association. The hall was Crowded to the deter and many had to stand during the entire evening, being unable to procure seats. Among -the audience we noticed with pleasure a considerable sprinkling of the fair sex. The proceedings were commenced by Mr. F. S. Scott, Secretary of the Brus- sels Reform Association, reading and presenting to Ur. Cartwright, a com- plimentary address. Mr. Cartwright 'in reply, spoke for about an hour and three-quarters, and was most attentive- ly listened to. His speeeh was an able, argumentative, and convinhing oratiOn. - He reviewed the legislation of the last session, and showed. up in good style the inconsistencies and mismanagement of the present Government and their supporters during the session At th conclusion of Mr. Cartwright's speech Mr. Scott presented an address to Mr. Thomas Gibson, M. P, P. for Eest Huron, to which Mr. Gibson made a brief but suitable reply. Mr. D. D. Hay, of North, Huron, being present was called upon. In his usual happy manaer he addressed the audience for a few minutes, when the meeting was c ose by three cheers for Mr. Cart- wright.- Messrs. Gibson and Hay were equally honored and the Queen not for- gotten. The meeting was one of th most orderly and agreeable ever held in the County. After the close of the public meeting the friends a Mr. Cartwright to the number of about fifty assembled at the Queen's Hotel. land. entertained - him at a supper. The spread was a most sumptetous one, reflecting credit upon this excellent hostelry, its genial landlord, and his amiable lady, After d.oiug ample jastice to the supper Mr. Thomas Strachan, Reeve of Grey, and Presiden t of the E as t Riding Reform Association, was called to the chair, and Mr. John Alexander, of Brussels, to the vice -chair, when a few hours were itors in this class.
