THE GENERAL REPAIR MAN.
-Another of the pioneers of North East -
hope passed away on July lab, in the person
of Mary Hendrick, beloved wife of Mr.
Peter Crerar, lot 34, concession 3. The de-
ceased had not been in good health for many
peen past, but her death was due to an at-
tack of pneumonia of some weeks ago. She
was a kind mother, a faithful wife and a
good neighbor, thereby gaining the esteem
and respect of a large circle of friends. A
husband and family of two sons and five
daughters survive.
-Mrs. Ism.° Benton, of the base line,
BIanshard, cut her throat with a razor last
Thursday morning, in an attempt to com-
mit suicide, and is likely to die. Several
menthe ago her husband was stricken with
paralyaie. This seemed to have preyed upon
her mind and during a fit of despondency
ehe attempted her life. Thursday morning
she arose early and went down stairs to'the
kitchen. Her son, who slept in a room ad-
joining, heard an unusual noise, and hastily
rising, found hie mother standing over a
wash basin, with blood etreeming from a
gash in her throat,

FARMS SOLD.—Mr. James Cowan has sold
the old homestead farm, on the 6th conces-
sion of MoKillop, to Mr. James H. Bell, for
the sum of $5,200. The ferm contains one
hundred acres ; is in good shape ; has Food
buildings, and is good value for the money.
-Mr. George Murdie has also sold his farm,
on the 4th concession of McKillop, to hie
neighbor, Mr. Robert MoKeroher, for the
sum of $6M0. This farm contains ohe hun-
dred sores. It is one of the best farms in
the county, and is mostly seeded to grass.
There is a good stone house, but the barns
and outbuildings are not modern. Mr. Mur -
die, we understand, intends coming to Sea -
forth to reside.
•
BROKE His LEG. -Mr. Joseph Weber, of
Dublin, met with a very painful accident
while in town, on Tuesday. In company
with three or four others, he drove up to at-
tend the mein in a light democrat wagon.
After the raeea they drove up North Main
street, and when in front of Mrs. M. Rob-
ertson's, a dog ran out and frightened the
horses. The'animals made a bolt for the
ditch, and, thinking they were going to run
away, Mr. Weber jumped from the rig, and
in alighting on the ground, fell in such a
way as to break his leg. They caeried him
into Mr. Stewart's, just near where the ao-
-cident happened. Dr. McGinnis was called
and set the limb, and Mr. Weber was re-
moved to his home in Dublin the same
evening.
•
A SAD CASE. -A despatch from Windsor,
dated July 9, says : Mrs. Thomas Tam -
man, of Blyth, Ontario, arrived here. this
morning on a Grand Trunk train in response
to a telegram sent her by an unknown indi-
vidual yesterday, which stated that her
daughter, Mary Elizabeth Tamman, was
dying in St. Mary's hospital, Detroit. The
hospital there has no such patient, and al-
though • the anxious mother has visited
every institution on both eides of the river
where the girl is likely tot be, she can find
no trace of her, and is well nigh crazed with
grief. Miss Tamman is deticribed as being
• about 22 years of age, and quite good look-
ing. She was employed in a Woodward
Avenue dry goods store as a clerk, but left
there some time ago. e

TIIIEvINO.—Some time between Satur-
day night and Monday morning, same per -
.eons got into theskating rink and pried a
board off the roof of the room in which the
bowlers keep their bowls, shoes etc., and
stole several pairs of shoes and did other
damage. A solid leather hand valise owned
by Mr. J. S. Roberts was totally destroyed.
The thieves %% re evidently unable to open
it, and to get at the contents deliberately
cut the whole aide out of it and carried o
a pair of shoes which it contained. This is.
not the first time that, articles have been
stolen from this room, and the members of
the bowling club are making a determined
effort to put a stop t it, _and to have, the
several boys and if t Ilguilty parties are
1
e
offenders punished. ' Suspicion refits on
found out they will be severely punished.

FIVE GENERATIONS.—Mre. Hugh= Wyllie,
of Stanley, one of the pioneer settlers of
Huron, was in town on Thursday of last
week. .Mrs. Willie i3'83 years of age' and
the fact that elle was able to standthe
drive to town .and return without suffering
much fatigue speaks well for her pluck and
endurance. She is the mother of Mrs.
Joseph Hudson, of Hills Green and she was
accompanied to town by • Mr. and Mrs.
Hudson. While here she formed one of a
group -photograph taken by Mr. J. P. Hen-
derson, and representing five generations,
viz. : Mrs. Wyllie ; her daughter, Mrs.
Joseph Hudson; Mrs. Hudson's daughter,
Mrs. James E. Troyer, oil Hensall 0 Mits.
Troyer's daughter, Mrs. J. H. Smith, of
Seaforth, and Mrs. Smith's eon, Master Cecil
Roy Smith. The photograph was well
taken, and makes an interestirog gioup,
which will, perhaps, be more interesting to
future generations than it is now. It will
be he earnest wish of the 'good old lady's
many friends that she may be sparedin
health and strength to see the youngest
member of the group grown to manhood.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.- Wba might have
,been a very „serious accident occurred on
Friday evening last about 6 o'clock. A
young lad, son of Mr. D. J. icheson, of
Roxboro, McKillop, started from Cluff's
planing mill with a team of orees and a
wagon, on which was a new ha rack. The
horses got frightened at something, and the
lad being unable to control them, they
came along Main street at. a rate a good
deal faster than the regul tion pace. When
nearly opposite Bright's el thing store they
overtook Mi. Frank Morration, of MoKillop,
who had just come from he Royal hotel
stables with a horse an covered buggy
and was driving down et eet. Being un-
• able to gat out of the way of the runaway
team quickly enough, to tongue of the
• wagoet went clear through the back of the
seat of the buggy and tur ed it over. For-
tunately at this juncture me of the horses
in the team fell underneat the buggy and
the mix-up was such t at none of the'
horses could proceed fur her. Help Will
soon at hand, Mr. Morrie n_ was got from
his buggy and the horse emoved from it,
the prostrate horse raise and everything
set to rights. No person was injured, but
Mr. 'Morrison's buggy wa badly smashed.
The young lad in charge o the team stuck
to his post and hung on t the horses like a
brick and was, apparently, the least excit-
ed one around, buthismuscle was scarcely
strong enough to tcontro the team when
. they got frightened.

• The Seaforth Races.
The second race meet. of the Seaforth Turf
Association was held on their splendid
grounds on Tuesday and Wednesday. The
weather was ideal racing weather, in fact,
too fine, as the fo.rmer were loath to leave
their work, even for a horse race. However,
the,attetulance on the first day was fair,
while that on Wednesday was excellent.
The racing on both days was good and the
different events were xciting and closely
contested, satisfying e tardy the large turn-
out. The time made fras not as fast as last
year, but the races ere quite as closely
contested. Among tae most enthusiastic
spectators were the lam ice, who added not a
little to the nay appea ance of the gounde.
The meet, altogether, as a most successful
one, both financially ac! otherwise, and the
Association are to be ongratulated on the
successful carrying out of their second meet.
