A Lad 13 years old has both legs torn off by a Threshing Machine. HE EXPIRES IN 13 HOURS. A most heartrending accident occur- ed on the farm of Mr. Greo. Hill, 11th line, Euphrasia, aboat 9 o'clock on Tuesday last, where Stinson Bros, were threshing, in which one of the brothers.met with a most sickening and fatal accident. The younger brother, Thomas J., was attending ordinary duties oiling, c., when the coupling near the gearing caught his clothes, iuBtaiitly winding him up and literally tearing both legs off below the knees before the machine could be stopped. One of the feet had passed through the cylinder and the other was found near tha place where the accident occurred. Dr. Sprpnle was immediately sent for and on arriving found that little or no hopes could be entertained for his recovery, both legs being com- pletely severed below the knees, and several wounds about the head and other parts of the body. He, however, bound up the battered and bleading form, but the unfortunate sufferer continued to shik until 10 o'clock in the evening when death ended his sufferings. It is a sad stroke of afflic- tion for his parents and the family, who live in the same neighborhood where the sad event happened. Th« funeral will take pi ace to-day, (Thurs- day) to the Presbyterian cemetary, leaving the house at 10 a. m. brethren of Toronto, has been holding forth here of laie. EcTS. Bnowdon and Shaw have commenced a series of special services in the Methodist Church here. On Saturday uveuing the alarm of fire 1 was raised. The roof of ahouse, owned by Mr. Wm. Robinson, and occupied by Mr. A. Duncan, caught fire. The fire-bell hastily summoned the villagers, and the fire was ex- tinguished, but not till the roof was considerably damaged, and the con- tents injured by hasty removal. The fire-bell is a very useful article in our town. A few gongs collect a large crowd in a few moments. Our village is increasing m wealtli, another "precious Jewell" having been added last week. Flesherton. AGAIN SUCCESSFUL. We are pleased to observe that our enterprising townsman, Mr. J. K. Trimble, has again been successful in taking a first prize and diploma at the great Northern 1 air held at Walkerton last week, with his celebrated entire horse, Clear Grit, Jr.; also a first prize with Lis young Clear Grit mare, which gives promise of great excell- â-  ence. It is the natural outcome of the true spirit of humanity to feel a degree of pride in all that pertains to ourselves, whether of a national or local character hence we admire the public spirit and enterprise which actuates Mr. Trimble in placing within the reach of our farmers, a horse which ijas no compeer in the province, .as a roadster â€" a clasR of horse which will always find a ready market. On •former occasions we have admonished • our readers to devote a greater share of their energies to stosk raising, of all kinds, our cojintryispiculiarly well .adapted tlierefor, not only for its excellent pasturage, but its abundant .supply of pure spring water. Itleaford Road. Mr. Robert Shannon, Jr., is here visiting among his friends and former acquaintances. Mr. Daniel Walker has rented Mrs. Foley's farm. He thinks that it wiil pay him better than working at chance jobs. Mr. Jesse Wing has purchased a farm in Jlluphrasia ahd has gone thert to Jive. The present teacher of the day ^chool Lere, Mr. Robert McLaut,hry, lm$«been re-engaged for 188 J. ^Eidon, son of Mr, J. Brodie, had his arm broken last week by beiu?^ thrown from a milk waggon. Dr" Sproule fixed up the broken sores, and lie is now doing well. Mr. T. Tenelton was compelled to leave the farm on which he was living, in the village, by the lawsuit in which he was engaged going against him. From our own correspondent. Miss Miller of Owen Sound, is at present visiting at J. W. Armstrong's, Esq., J. R. Clark, Esq., of Hamilton Times, after passing through an attack of typhoid fever, has quite recovered again and with his wife has been spending a few days at his father-in- law's, J. W. Armstrong's. Mr. Clark left here on Monday last and we understand will sail from New Yitrk on Thursday for England where he intends spending a few months. We wish him a safe and speedy trip across the Big water. The Rev. Alfred Andrews, who has been appointed by the Guelph coufer- ance of the Methodist Church to do special Sabbath School work, preached in the Methodist Church here on Sunday evening last to a large audience and on the Monday evening following lectured in the basement of the same Church to a crowded house. Mr. Andrews' lecture was lengthy, full of life, and interesting, and we think will do much good in creating a deeper interest in Sabbath School work. Mrs. Ed.Higginbotham, ofBowman- ville daughter of Rev. D. C. ISklcDowell, who, some time ago, received some injuries from jumping out of a buggy, is now convalescent and paying a visit at home here at present. Wednesday afternoon Oct. l.oth the residence of W. J. Armstrong, Esq., was the scene of a cheerful and happy gathering of friends, being occasioned by the the marriage of his second daughter, Lydia to Thos. Aikinhead of Toronto, the ceremony was performed by tie Rev. D. G. McDowell, at the hour of two o'clock, after which the company partook of a bountiful repast, then the happy couple was escorted to the Flesherton depot when theytook the eyening train for Toronto, from theoce, on their wedding tour. A very unpleasant scene occurred in our village on Monday last, betwpen two men R. Hardgreave and Mr. Nelson sr. It appears Hardgreave and some others had heed drinking in the Hotel, wlien Nelson was asked to drink with them but refused to do so Mr. Nelson left the hotel but was followed by Hardgreave, to Mr, Trimblee store when he, Hardgreave, charged Nelson with owing him some money and struck Mr. Nelson, making violent threats, when Mr. N. who had been cutting an apple had his knife in his hand struck at Hard- greave, and inflicted a severe cut in his upper lip.J A charge was laid by Hardgreave with J. W. Armstrong, J. P., but was afterward withdrawn. "The sere and yellow leaves" he strewn around us or yet flutter mourn- fully on the boughs. What a beauti- ful simile it is. which I have seen somewhere, tiiat nature dresses up m her most brilliantj gay, and gaudy robes, just before death, or the semblance of death, which our long and severe winter presents, as if to note her departure and to bid us a a bright farewell. Life has been aptly compared to the seasons, (Spring) â€" "Oh, life how pleasant in thy morning Yoimg fancy's rays the hills adorutug " that enchanted time, â€" "When the feelings were young. And the world was new. Like the fresh bowers of Paradise Opening to view." Then the summer of our days, when in the full strength and vigor of ma- turity, we enter with eagerness and zest, on our various pursuits of busi- ness or pleasure. Then Autumn fol- lows. We feel we are declining and look back with soberness on our past career. We have the fruition of our exertions and aspirations, or perhaps the saddened retrospect of bereave- ments, failures, or disappointments. A paring bee was held at Mr. T. Campbell's on Friday evening last. Most of the elite of the place, and a goodly nvmber of commoners besides had been invited. After a bountiful supper abundant in delicaciee.amongst which roast duck figured conspicuous- ly jokes and merry chat went round; but the prime moving spirit of tiie evening's hilarity was Mr. T, Home, Master Tailor here, whose fund of jest3,anecdote8, repartee, and bon mots, seemed inexhaustible and kept the table in a perpetual roar. That gentle- man has the happy knack ot making old witticisins and stories appear as good if hot better than new ones, by the imitable drollery of his expression and recital. One about the Cannibal and the Missionary fairly brought down the house. Said the Cannibal to the Missionary, "I think I'll eat you." "I don't agree with you my friend," says the Missionary' "Do you think so," returned the Cannibal. '|0h, tiien I'll let i,ou go as I do not like to take anything that does'ut agree with me." The party broke up at a late hour, all seeming to have thoroughly enjoyed themselves and all unanimous in their praises of the kind and Hberal hostess, Mrs, T. Campbell. A GOOD TEST.
