Dwelling _ Barnt. â€" Mr. George Adams, & farmer living some four miles northâ€"east of this place, had the misfortune to lose his dwelling toâ€" gether with most of the contents by fire on Tuesday, June 26. The fire took place shortly after noon and is supposed to have originated from a mkflw the stoveâ€"pipe in the cook some distance away, and a high wind prevailing madoe such headway that all efforts to check its progress were unavailing. Mr. Adams‘ loss will be comsiderable as he was only lightly insured. In consequence of the fire and desiring to go to his brothers in Wisconain he has decided to sell out and has announced a sa‘e for Tuesday the 10th instant. Serious Accident.â€"Mr. Robt. Hooey, a highly respected farmer residing near Crosshill, met with a very serious acciâ€" dent here on Fridaylast whilst unloadâ€" ing a sheep to be weighed upon the scales. ‘The sheep, a large one which he was holding by a repe, bolted from the seales, knocking him down and being a heavy man he fell with great force to the ground whereby his hip bone was broken. A mattress was proâ€". cured and he was conveyed to his home ‘ where his injured limb was attended to by Dr. McEachern of this place. Such a fracture is a very serious one at any time of life, but more particuâ€" larly to aged people and as Mr. Hnoey is in his 60th year the accident is likeâ€" Ir to seriously cripple bim for life. This affiiction to Mr.Hooey is rendered more dJistressing from the fact that his wife has been an invalid for over 20 years and unable to render him any assistance in the terrible ordeal through which he is now passing. He has, however, the sympathy of the entire community in which he resides and will undoubtâ€" edly receive substantial evidences of Eh?_mun in which he is generally _ Reâ€"opening.â€"The rcâ€"opening serâ€" vices in the Merhâ€"«list .church Sunday were conducied by the Rev.

Special muric was rendored by the choir with Miss Blisncr, of Welland Port, preaiding at ts orvau. . The atâ€" tendance was good and liberal collecâ€" tions were received. _ l he Ladies‘ Aid certainly deserve great credit for the effort they have made in making the ‘cburoh what it is toâ€"day. ‘The trustees and other members of the church have alan hbeen endeavoring to make the ’ouuido correspond with the inside and have erected a new fonce, built a new sidewalk and made other necessary imâ€" \pmvemenn.
