Serious AccnENT. â€" Wo regret to have to report a serious accident which befel Bev. Mr. Ward last week, while driving near Hogg's mill Artemesia, where the road curved round a hill and was very narrow, the horse took fnght at a pile of lumber on the road and bolted down a steep bank capsiz- ing the buggy and pitching Mr. W-. violently among stones and stumps rendering him unconscious in which state he remained about an hour; with a great eflfort he reached Mr. Taibert's, about a mile distant; Mr. T drove him home the same evening, and altho' no bones were broken, he received many bad bruises. The left eye was completely closed, and left side of head is badly bruised and an ugly cut from which the blood saturated his clothes and the ground where he had been lying. He is still in a critical condition, and the doctors say it will be ^eeka before he will be able to resume active duties. The horse was none the worse, but the buggy completely smashed. Tmt coming event of tiiis summer is tbe performance of Queen Esther at Fleshil-ton on the Ist of July.

In a few sections there are complaints of too much spring rain, and in others the unth- rifty appearance of many fields is at- tributed to the lack of rain. Of the six Lake Erie countries, where nearly a quarter of the fall wheat acreage, of the Province hes, Welland is the only one which promises a full crop, while the adjoining country of Hald- imand is likely to be much shcrt of an average. Excepting in the south- ern part of Lambton, the crops on Lake Huron countries wintered well, and its present condition is very satisfactory. In Grey and Simcoe^ on the Georgian Bay, the prospects is not cheering, and the acreage has been reduced to a considerable extent. The West Midland countries gives varying reports â€" those for Middlesex, Oxford and Brant being the least favorable. Dnfferin promises well, and in Perth the lookout is almost in- variably pronounced very good. Over the country from Wellington to Dur- ham, and between Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay, serious injury was caused by ice lying on the holds in winter, and the crops were yery uneven. In York and Simcoe countries especially ice and exposure proved to be yery destructive tu the- has- been ploughed up. Lincoln and North umberland alone, of the Lake Ontario countries, give promise of a good harvest. In the East Midland count- ries the crops is variable, and in the St. Lawrence and Ottawa group it wintered safely and makes a line show,, excepting where some bad effects were left by ice and snow in part of Grenville, Carleton and Lanark. The fine growing weather with which the country has been favored since the middle of April has greatly improved the prospect of the crop, and a small- er area has been ploughed up in con sequence than seemed at all probable I when the show disappeared. The indications are, however, that without unusually favorable or unfavorable weather from now until barvest tbe yield will fall nearly a fifth short of the average of the past four years. The report on clover are on the whole favorable, and the crop is at least two weeks earlier than last year. Clover of last year's seeding has suffered little, either by winter or spring weather; but the clover on old meadows lias been extensively injured especially on un drained, low-laying or heavy soils, by ice and frost heaving. Ploughing for spring crops com^ mence from two to three weeks earlie^ than last' year's and seeding pro- portionately early; but in some districts, the work was delayed by wet weatherv especially on heavy clay and uadrainud lands in the lake shore counties from Norfolk to Peel. In the northern and eastern counties the green appears of crops presents a strike and favorable contrast to their backward state lat spring's wheat, oats and peas axe very cheer- ing. Apparently, however, the breadth of spring wheat is less than last yeai, while that of peas and barley is great. The reports on live stock are general^ lyfavorable.Foddar n as abundant eyery where unless in portions of Simcoe and Muskoka, and almost the only com- plamt made is that cattle did not feed owmg to tiie ohangeaUe eha^racter of tne wmter.
