MONEY WANTED. tlc up with all who have accounts a- gniust them. It is a melancholy fact, erully left to the lust,‘and thus run a great risk of being put. off till next year, which is the reason there are so many delinquents on almost every publisher's subscription list. We. of course, have our sllnrc;nlld more than a fair share, too; and as this season’s crops were abundant and prices are high, there is no good reason why all those persons 'i'vho are one, two or three years in arrears for the Gazette should not pay up now that they have the means. We have waited patiently through the hard times. knowing how “ hard up " the major- ity of the farmers were; but there is now scarcely one of them who isn’t quite able to clear off all nrrcuruges, and we expect. them to do so. Each account is small. but. in the aggregate they amount to a large sumâ€"enough to pay off all our own liabilities and buy a nice lot ,of new type. We don't, want to sue any one if we can help it; but we must have our money. and if'it is not. paid voluntarily we shall try what lolce will do. TthentralExâ€"IIIMIIOH. We spent Wednesday, the second day of the Central Exhibition, in Lindsay, and, like all the other spectators, were somewhat disappointed, as the show was far inferior to that of' four years ago, ok- Cept in cattle and purhup-I poultry. {We not have neither time nor space ,for _ I ' _.. ‘iifi ac- cou'“ 0‘ .“..'.‘.'.. we saw; indeed it is ul- iiiust a Work of supcrerogation to at- tempt a description of the exhibition, as there was such a tremendous crowd present. from all parts of this county, that the few persons who were compelled to stay at home will have had full pur- ticulurs by this time from relatives or neighbours We. have not yet seen the prize list, but we are pleased to learn that. many of our friends were among the successful competitors, and they no doubt wish to see their names in print as soon as possible. Mr. William Field- ing took no less than nine' prizes, and most of them first prizes too, for leath- el ; Mr. ll. Dcyman took first prize for white Leghorn fowls and also for bau- tnms; and Rowa «St Robson took first. prize for u fanning mill, the only article they showed. All th <8 are residents of this village. Mnslohn Cullis, of Fenclon, took the third prize for his Durham bull. with which he was well S:ttl~'llt‘.(l, as there were eight or nine on the ground. and Mr. John Simpson, of Babcnygeon, got the second prize for his blood horse. No doubt there are many others in this vicinity to be con- :rutuluted upon their success ; but. the above are the Only ones we are sure a- bout at present. The Iron Bridge. And new we learn to our deep dis- gust, which will be shared by the ma- jority of our readers, that there isa muddle with reference to theirnn bridge which was to have been put across the river in this village by the first of the present month, but. with a sight. of which we shall not. be gratified until some di~taut period known only to the contractors, (Wt-n if it be known to them. which is somewhat doubtful. We heard all about it the other day from Mr. flurry \l'alter‘. of Lindsay, who put in a tender. and who considers that he was not fairly used. in which opinion we cannot help ‘hillkins he is a (treat deal more than half ri;ht. Tenders were invited for both iron and wooden bridges; but as iron was preferred, the commissioners were authorized to get one of that material if it would not come more than 75 per cent higher than one made of wood. When the tenders were owned it was found that those for iron bridges were a good deal more than 75 per ant. higher than those for wood; and as the tenders for the latter mn< terial‘thc lowest was put in by Mr. Walter! be naturally expected to get the contract. Butâ€"as a considerable number of individuals have observedâ€" “ there's many a slip ’twixt the cup and the lip.” which in a figurative way of saying that expectations are very oltnn not realized, and that was the cans Clocks, All Kinds, 30 day, 8 day and 30 hour, Alarm strike,&e, IN SILVER AND GOLD CASES fi' Persons sending watches from a dis- tance for repairs, can have the amount of work and price reported on for their consid- eration, and as I do the work mvself, can Btitton's Block. foot ofKnntSL.

But. that wasn't. all. While the reciprocal telegrams were being sent and received Mr. Walters, think in; that “something was up." (third figurative expression) and wishing to reduce his tender also, if possible, ask- ed our worthy reeve, who of course was one of the high jointers, whether a seow could not be used to convey men and horses across the river while the new bridge was being built, instead of pub ring up a temporary one, which would cost a good deal of money, and was told emphatically that it. could not; and when he asked whether, if be secured the contract for the new bridge, he could have the old one. our worthy reeve replied, “ I suppose you can if you pay for it." For some reason, which we hope will bear investigation. it appears to have been predetermined that the Toronto Bridge Company should have the contract, for not only were they permitted to lower their offer until it cattle within the prescribed lim- its, but they were also favoured with rights and immunities which were re- fused to the other competitors. The old bridge has been either privately stipulated for or generously presented to the company; at any rate they are to have itâ€"nt least Mr. Walters says so; and the proviso about the tempora- ry bridge, which was specially mention- ed in the advertisement, was omitted either by accident or design when the agreement was drawn up. Mr. Greene' told us a few weeks ago that it was left out by an oversight, but that it was of no consequence, though he seemed to Issue.

Shear- 'l'his is the time of year when farmers have money and are supposed to set- howevcr, that printer's bills are. gen. ‘humcrous, though the majority of them think it was of very great consequence indeed when Mr. Walters spoke to him. about it. Worse than all this as far as the public is concerned, no penalty for the non-fulfilment. of the contract..qu mentioned; and now the time appointâ€" ed for the completion of the bridge has past, and the company say that they haven't yet got. any of' the iron to be used on the structure. The fact ap- pears to be, as far as we can understand it, that they have us at their mercy and will go on with the work just when it- suits their convenience. We shouldn‘t feel at all surprised at the muddle if only ordinary men had been appointed to manage the business; but; the reflec- tion that our worthy rccvc's genius has for once been at fault fairly overwhelms us with astonishment. - The Fenelon Agricultural Show. The nnunl fnll show of the Fenelon Agricultural Society was held in this village last. Saturday, and was greatly below the average; which was partly to be attributed to the fact that the show at Cnboconk was held the same day. and partly to the wetness of the early morning, though there was little or no rain after eight. or nine o'clock. The horned cattle and horses were far from were fine ones; the sheep were very few; and of pigs there were ngtpgfi' only three, and two of' thgg'fi‘ot mm}, looking at.

There was hardly a “ mammoth " specimen of any kind to brag about. the majority being from fair to middling. except in cabbages. which were far the worst we ever saw at any show, the largest. being no biuuer than a grand sized cocoa nut.

Mr. Fielding showed some splen- did lcathcr, and the skins ofu dog and a goat. tanned with the hair on. Mr. Joseph Nevison was represented by a fine set of single carriage harness, and Mr. Thomas Nevison by a couple of hundsomn pads. In some classes there were not enough competitors to take the prizes offered. and in others none at all. The farmers looked in vain for a wuggou. carriage, buggy or agricultural implement, for there were none on ex- hibition. Messrs. Robson & Robson would have sent a few of the latter, but they have been kept so busy lately fil- ling orders that they had no time to get up anything for the show ground. and no makers from u distance put in an appearance.

The ignition of gas in an oil well is by no means uncom- mon, but this particular blaze soon de- veloped some unusual features. The gas, instead of burning quietly in :1 small circle Iirouud the outlet, seemed to be fordcd out with extraordinary p'uver, and the‘ volume of vivid. silvery fllmo is fully thirty feet high. firm. the most r'eumrkithlc f'i-titurc of this very remarkable exhibition is that at intervals of exactly fifteen minutes by to Mr. Stevenson for 3:35. As thI’fi'N .lhvc which there lszt grand eruption of prices are about; twice as much as can be got for ordinary animals of the sum" kind-I. it proves how profitable it is to raise stock with a dash ol'good blood in them. One of the immcdinrc progeni- tors of the cow was a nearly pure-bred Durham, and the colt was sired by the aristocratic hursc owned by Mr. John Simpson, whom we saw admiring and pointing out the beauties of the little animal on the show ground. A fler the above was written we met Mr. John Slater. of this village, who told us that he had sold his qucli~talkcd-of sow for 317 to Mr. SaInm-l Swnutoo. of Fenc- lon, which was a paying price, as she Wns under seven months old. When just past her fifth month she was put into at scnln and found to weigh 179 lbs” and it is thought. that she has increased at. least 50 lbs. since then. Mr. Slater bought her at weaning time from Mr. John Hull, of Fcnelou. who told him that she was a nearly pure bred Suffolk, and we have no doubt that this was correct. SERIOUS Accmnsrâ€"Abnut dusk on the evening of the 29th ult. a serious accident. happened to Mr. Peter Mur- doch. of' Vcrulam, who had just driven to Fenclon Falls on a visit to his cousin. Mrs. John Cullon. flaring taken his horse from the buggy he led it. to Mr Cullen‘s stable, but just as it got to the door it was frightened by the noise of the bell on a cow inside, and, alumina back, jerked the halter out of Mr. Murdoch's hand. As the stable stands at. the rear of the lot, behind the gar- den feuce. there was nothing to prevent the horse from running away, which it immediately did, but was cnuzht be- fore it had gone very far and brought back. Mr. Murdoch then twisted the end of the halter firmly around his hand and again adVanccd towards the stable, but the horse appeared more alarmed than before, and after a short struggle ran down a somewhat steep dc. clivity behind Mr Cullon'a lot. Mr. Murdoch kept hold of the bridle until level ground was nearly or quite resch- ed. when he tried to let go; but was unable to do so in time to save himself from being thrown down and trampled on by the horse. which then got lmdc and gallopcd off. Mr. Murdoch, not feel- ing his injuries in the excitement. of the moment. sprang to his feet and attempt» ed to pursue the fugitive, but soon be- came awrjre that he was badly hurt, and walked to the house. Dr. Low-r was sent for. and upon examining his patient found that his lower jaw was broken on the right side. that two teeth were knocked out, and that there was a deep guh about two and a half inches long on the other side of his face. As it was naturally supposed that the horn: had gone home and that Mr. Murdoch's furnily would be dreadfully alarmed, Mr. Cullon'a eldest. son hich n livery rig and, in company with a brother-in- law, drove to Verulam. for the purpns- “www.mm‘ckwjluftflgg‘ with the flames, and so for from cxtlllmtlslu'ng“?!t‘t.. drives them in sheets above the highest trees and falls in showers for a consid- erable distance nrouud the well. This eruption of Water. which lu>ts about. two or three minutes, is preceded by n gradually increasing ronr. uCnqu'puuied by a series of powerful gasps likdstrnkcs of some mighty engine. The .yl‘lxlure of the watt-r, which. by the way, is said to be strongly impregnated with Fill- phur, with the flames, produces effects which are dazzling in their brillinucy and beauty, various shades of yellow and purple predominating. 'l‘hc spec- tacle. especially if witnosnzd at night, is indoscrihnbly beautiful, and its effch is brightened by n slight. da~ll of weird- ness caused by the unusual colour of the flames, and the corre-ponding reflec- tion which it throws on the ibliagc ol the surroumling‘trccs. The birds seem to be almost. paralyzed by the unwouth illumination. All night long, so the drillers say, they skim around the flames uttering shrill cries of alarm, and be come either so frightened or so hold that. they alight alongside the men. by whom they are frequently Caught. Ev- ery effort has been made by the drillers, Messrs. Fair Bros“ to shut down tlliv briLliaut show, but. thus far without succzss. - Twenty londs of sand were thrown on, but without effect. After- wards It number of tnrpaulins were placed over the vent and sand thrown on top, but. the flames belched out. with unsurpassed vigour, throwing these im- pedimeutn aside n.“ if they were so many feathers. The drillers came to the con- clusion to try, as a last resort, to invert a heavy iron tnnk over the flame and surround it with sand. so as to exclude the air. The opinion of most of those who have seen the phenomenon is that the subterranean power is so great that this plan will share the fate of those which preceded it. Large numbers of people have visited the well. It is a. sight that baffles description, and once seen will never be forgottenâ€"Surat}: Observer. . ‘ The Nihili t Prisoners. ST t’zrznsnuao.
