Mr. Matthew Spoflbrd got seriously hurt the other day by a pole breaking on tt scaffolding and letting IVIr. Spotford fall a distance of 8 or 9 feet to the floor be- low. He broke the bones of one ankle and the small boue of the leg and other- wise got a bad shaking up. Mr.Sjjofford is about eighty years of age, and wjis i,ne of the first settlers of Osprey township. A very bad runaway occuiTed on the (Jth line of CoUingwood last week. It appears that a spirited team of horses attached to a wagon and driven by a sou of Mr. Sanmel Eagle, became unnijinage- able while being driven acri;.s.s a very rough and stony field, and nm away, throwing the ynunt' man out in front of the wagon. He became eutfiuglcd in the whitflotrees and lines, and, the draw' holt coming out, the horses dragged the. young man away from the wagon and | around tile rough field. Wcare ijiformed that tliey ran, draisrging him, for nearly htjf an hour when the youn;.,' man became luo.sed ; the horses, however, kept on running till they could run no longer. Fortunately no bones were broken, but he was most terribly bruised and batter- ed. We understjind the youug man is doing ii« well as can he expected, though it will be ."ome time till he will be able to work again. An accident of a terrible nature occur- red at Currun's jjortable sawmill on the 8th of Osprey, neiir Singhampt<»n, on Wednesdiiy; of last week, when Albert Hintlle, a young man 18 years of age, very nearly lost his life. It appears that the saw got stuck in a log and the young man went under the s;iwdust carriers to clear away the sawdust. While there the saw beciime h)03ened and began to revob'e. It Ciiught the young man-on the biick, cutting it badly but not into the vitiil organs. His arm w.is almost severed at the shoulder and his skull sawed open so that the brain was visible. Drs. Bond of Maxwell and McFadden of Siughampton were on hand as soon as possible and worked over him most of one day and part of another. The young man is still living and the dtxstors have a hope of saving his life, and also preserving the arm. The young man's home is near Mclntyre.

TUo Liberal-Coiiservativo convention uel'j ill Maikdale on Friday la.st was one of the larg-.sl and luont enthusiastic ever lirld ill Centre Grey. HasUett's hall was cio«dt'd wiiii a go-xl natured and orderly lot of d.?l«L'aio» from all parts of the rid- nif>. Prtsiileiit Dyic of Thorubury occu- pied the chair. The nominations for both Legi.slature and Dominion House were so numerous that President Dyre could not find place for all on the plat- form. Each candidate came forward, made his excuses and retired, with the excepnoii of Mr. Lucas and Dr, Sproule. The«e two nominations were then made heartily unanimous- the former for his old seat iu the LetiisUturu and the latter for the position he has so gracefully tilled for nearly a lifetime. The spoeihes, of i;ourse, were numerous, including the two candidates. As that of Mr. Lucas was the most important just now, wo give a synopsis of hia address, which embraces all the sidieijt points brought out. Dur- ing the afternoon the president took oo- c;iBioii to feelingly refer to the death of Thomas Andrews, who for many years was prominent in the party circle in this ruling, and a unanonous vote of sym- paihy was conveyed to the relatives through the Pieaident. Another note- worthy incident of the afternoon was a short address breathiii-: strong loyalty to the party hy Mr. John Lyons of ^Iark• dale, a man now iu the feeble stage of old.at^e. There was pathos in his words, t'jo. for ho is 87 years of a^e. Mr. Lucas continod himself wholly to the temperance legislation of the Whit- ney government. The government, he claimed, h.id done whII, and there whs only one ({reat cry a^'a-nst it, namely the three-tifihs clause, and only in two or three ridings are temperance candidates to bo nominated, and these only in rid- ings where it is hopeless for a Liberal to run. The governiiit'iit had enforced the license law well, as witutss Marter, Jos. Gibson, Dr. Emory and the Pioneer. Mr. Lucas 111 referring to the thrc-e-tifths clause said : Members of the govern- meut liad on several occasions outside the House and ••n the floor of pirliament de elared in effect that the clause was on trial â€" thnl th* uoveriinicnt were not wudded to it, and that if further experi- ence showed that it was not necessary to give perniauenco to local option bylaws and was not found in its operatiou to be for the best temperance interests, then it was for the House to consider the repeal of the clause. In ether words, the gov- erniu«iii were not couimilted to stand by the lliree-liflh clause »s unalterably the policy of the government. 'He thought It quite possible, even probable, that the iioverniiitnt would by a governuien': measure repeal the three-fifth clause during the next parliamentary term. If, however, they did not do so, it would be open to him as a private meoiWr of the House, if he should bo elected, to intro- duce an amendment to the Liquor Li- cense law substituting majority vote for the three-lifth clause in reference to h>c*l option and lihe (rovernment, as a Ko»ern- ment would not be bound to either sup posed to tike and gave him a free hand. To The Electors of South Grey Gi'Dtlemen: It is reported that I have withdrawn from the cimpai>.rn. Why such a report should be circulated is beyond my coir- pruhension, uiilyss the wish bo father to the thought. I wish it distinctly understood that I am a candidate for the representation of South Grey in the LeeisLiture, and, if eiecti-d, wdl i>ndeavor to give the closest at'eiitioii to the affiir.'j of the province in general aitd my coBsiituency in particular. It is uiy intention lo con.luct the cam- [wgn free from ev.TV'hing personal, of everything ihat will cast a reflection on my»elf or the eloctors of the constituency. If 1 cannot be elected by aod of what is peifectly defensible 1 do not wish to be elected It is my winh to emphanise the morjil bide of poiitics and fair tight, so that, when the election is over, I can look back with satisfaction, knowing that I did not d«preciat;e polstics.
