PICKARD, T. Kiddl old stand, Seaforth #nvon...0540.011#.4 - MUST BE-FROGRESSIVE.—In referring to the show held bete last week, under the auspices of the Tuckersinith Branch Agricultural Society, the Clinton New Era says : To say it was a grand suc- cess would be a stretch of the imagin. ation not warranted by the drown - stances, and if the directors expect to draw 'a crowd, and keep up intermit, they must adopt methods -that are pro- gressive. The attendance Was very fair, but there was no reason why it could not have been much better. The day has gone by when a fall fair can be successfully conducted on the old lines ,eof being purely an agricultural display, and while some people fire opposed to the innovations of the now successful exhibitions, it is nevertheless a fact that the innovations are an essential to suc- NEARLY LOST HIS HORSE. — Mr. George Habkirk, of McKillop, near Sea forth, with Mrs. Habkirk, drove up to Luoknow to attend the recent Caledon- ian games held there. While there they were staying with their son-in.law, Mr. Laughlin Gordon,,who resides in a ten- ted house on the farm of Mr. McDonald, of Huron township. Mr, Habkirk had his horse • in Mr. McDonald's stable. During the night Mr,< McDonald's stables and barns were discovered to be .on fire and all of them. were completely destroyed. Mr. Habkirk just got to the burning bnilding in time to save his driving horse, and with a good deal of difficulty he got it from the burning building when it was in flames. Had ,be been five minutes longer in getting to the place he would have been too late and the enimal would in all probability have been burned, As it was, although badly frightened, it was not arty in - MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. — A very < melancholy and fatal accident toek place on the London,„Huron and Bruce rail- way near Clinton, on Wednesday fore- noon last. As the train from the South was nearing the crossing the engineer noticed a woman walking along the track in front. He Whistled several times but to no purpose. The woman did not leave the track and all atteinpts to stop the train in time to save her were fruitless. The engine struck her, and knocked her to one side of the track. The train -was stopped as soon as pos- sible, and was backed itp to where the body lay,when it was found that the wo- man had been instantly killed. She was much cut and bruised and when, found was quite dead. The body wail placed in the bag_gage car and taken to 'Clinton - tation. It was afterwards learned that the womanianame wee Deves. Her people live in Goderich township, about two mike from town, and it seemes that the unfortunate woman was deaf and dumb, - and was going to Clinton to attend the_ fair and took the railway track for a short cut. She had not noticed the <strain, and oi course could not hear it. It was very foolish for a person in her condition, to be On the track at all and is a penalty for this foolishness the -poor woman lost her life. She was about thirtY years of age. Bowie,,wife of Dr. Bowie, and MOther of Mrs.- Robert Celeman of this° town, died at the residence of Mr. Coleman on' Friday last after a very brief illness. Mrs. Bowie was on a i?isit to her 'daugh- ter here when the sad event took- place. She was born in the village ef St. Eus: tache, Province of ,Quebee. Her parents died there when she was quite young, when she, along with the other Mem- bers of her family went to Williathstown, county of 'Glengarry, and resided with their uncle, Laird McGillis, of Williams -- town. In 1833 she married Dr. Bowie, then of St. Eustache Quebec, but who afterwards went to ISiontreaI, and there held the position of Immigrant Physi- cian for the port of Montreal, from the - year 1842 until /848. They then came weit and resided in Mitchell until three or four years ago, when the Doctor re- tired from active practice on account of old age. Mrs. Bowie was 81 Years of age. She was a 'highly accorn'=.. • Wished and very intelligent lady. She was also a sincere Christian and one in wham. the poor alivays found a true 4riend, ever rea,cly to assist them in every way she could. Her -death will be regretted by.all who kneyi her, and More especially by the poor, The fun- eral took place from Seafortii,, and the remains were taken to her old, home ie Glengarry and interred in the Cemetery at Williamstown. A CASE SETTLED. —It will be remem- Smithof the Seaforth Banking Company discounted a couple of notes in his bank for a stranger. The netes afterwards turned out to -be forgeries.

This man Wilkin, had been home from Kan- sas on a visit to his father and other friends in the township of Logan. and he left for his home in the States two days after the forged notes. were clis equated.'

Qunlop soon foend his :nun and brbught him to Canada and WaS tried before- a bench of Magis- , trates in this town and committed to stand his trial at the next Aisizes. The case was tried at the Assizes and Mr. Smith being unable to Isositively iden. tify Wilkin as being the person who sold him the -notes, and ,Wilkin having got parties to swear that at the time he was said to be in Seaforth, that he was with them in the township of Logan, he was acquitted. Not satisfied•with_pro- curing his liberty Wilkin entered an action against Mr. Smith for malicious proseoution, claiming $1,500 damages. He also entered an *Idiot. against Con- -stable Dunlop for . false arrest., Roth cases were tried at tbe Stratford Assizes last week before Judge Street, the same Judge that tried the forrner case. -After hearing all thk evidence, Hie Lordship dismissed both casweeven refusing to let - them go to the jury. He held that Mr. Smith had reasonable grounds for in- stituting the proceedings againet kin and thet Constable Dunlop simply performed his duty as a constable. The affair en e cause of considerable loss and annoyanc to Mr. Smith and tion to which been subjected has been_ decided so satisfactorily in his favor.
