The horns have been beautifully polished, artistically and tastetully arranged as to color and size, screwed together into the frame, so as to fit thoroughly and make a solid and com- plete chair. It is also neatly upholstered, the whole work having been done by Mr. Geib himself. It is a novel and handsome article, and is alike creditable to the taste and mechanical.skill of the maker, as well as to his patience, of which he must have a good stook. It is solid and durable, and will no doubt descend from generation to generation as a memento of the ingenuity of the clever maker and &signer. • DIRECTOR'S MEETINt:.--A union meeting of the directors of the South Huron and Stephen and lishorne branch agricultural societies was held at Hawkshaw's hotel, Exeter, on Saturday last. The principal business of the meeting was to arrange for the union show to be held at Exeter, on the grounds of the Stephen and Usborne society this fall. The prize list was thoroughly re- vised and overhauled, and the amounts to be given in larizes were very materially in- creased, and. the list was, in other respects, irnproved. The list for the ladies' depart- ment is to be thoroughly revised by a. com- mittee of ladies, so as to be brought up to date. There will also be a splendid list of special attraction, provided by the local society, the premiums for which will be contributed jargely by the citizens of Exeter. This show will be held on the first Monday and Tuesday after the Weetern Fair at Landon. There is always a good show at Exeter, and the attractive premium list offered this season should bring out a larger and more attractive show than ever before. arch, erected by Messrs. G. E.

The side lights will be eathedral glass and the centre plain frosted.—In justice to our school and to the parent; who spared no pains in fitting out the children for the occasion, we may say that the reason the school did not re- ceive the first prize was that they were really barred by the rules from the compe- tition, but the judges gave them second place on account of their fine appearance, which will likely be changed to a. special, and perhaps a diploma. RaiNAWAY ACOIDENT.—On Monday even. ing last, as Mr. George Fitzgerald, and Mr - L. G. VanEgmond were driving down street with a horse and light wagon, when oppo- size Dick's hotel, the horse took fright at something, and, commencing to run, be% came unmanageable. At the railway cross- ing the wagon collided with a post, throw- ing both gentlemen out. Mr. VanEgmond had his forehead cut and bruised, and his wrist sprained, but was not otherwise seri- ously injured, and was able to walk home and, sufficiently recovered to sell tickets for the Jubilee sports on Tuesday. Mr. Fitz- gerald, who was driving, did not escape so well. He was taken up unconscious, and was conveyed to Henderson's hotel, and medical aid summoned. An examination, however, relieved the feelings of his friends, as it was ascertained that iseyond a couple of very severe and painful outs on the legs, he warnot otherwise seriously injured, and, being only stunned by the fall, be soon re- covered consciousness, ana his friends were enabled to take hinato lt home. We ttre pleased to learn that he i , getting on nicely, and if no complications set in he will be around all right again before long. Both gentlemen had a very narrow _escape, as it seems that both lines ere broken. The horse got freed from' th wagon' when the collision with the post eccurred, and, run- ning up the railway track, was soon capl tured. The wagon was badly demoralized and the horse slightly cut on one of its legs but was attended -to by Dr. Gibb, and will not likely be any the worse.

In conversation with Mr. Bell, we learned that he hp,d received orders for a large quantity of machinery, -several sew - mill outfits, also the contract for supplying all the inachinery for the Bluevale flax mills and Walter Stewart's planing mills, at Lucknow. He is also now engaged in man- ufa turing an engine that is worthy of par- ticu ar notice, being of a new and handsome des , with several improvements, that hay been favorably commented upon by a nu ber of experienced men.
