happened to • gentleman who was driving accompanied
by his servant, from Moreton to Dorebeeter in order to
catch the 5.40 train Great Western. It appears that
the driver touched the born rather sharply with the
whip over the head, which made it start at a furious
rate, and on arising; at " turnpike gate the
vehicle was upset and it occupants pitched into the road.
They " righted" the trap, but before they had time to
get into it, the horse had again started, and dashing
through Wareliamotreet, Fordington, came in contact
with • large post, placed to prevent persons dr.ving
against the blacksmith's shop on Fordington cross,
which it broke off, and striking against the shop
corner completely smashed the trap, and with
iTilri.d one shaft attached to it, the *circa'

the church when it was brought to a stand still
by • man who happened to be paring, none the worn

vehicle were not injured.
Widmann' AoMMILTURAL BOCIITT.—The annual
sheep shearing match in apparition with this society
took plain on Saturday last, in a field adjoining the
West Walks, lent for the occasion by Mr. Manfield. In
the men's class there were 15 °competitors, whose work
was well and evenly done. The judges—Messrs. O. a.
A. Flower, of Stafford, 11. Mayo, Cohere Prone,
and J. A. Smith, of Bradford Peverell—awarded the

LiC7lll“. —On Thursday evening, the 3rd Inst., Mr.
Jacob Primmer, of the Scotiab Reformation Society,
gave • lecture at the Townhall, on " The Noble Army
of Martyrs," illustrated by dissolving views with the
oxyhydrogen light, at which the Rev. E. W. Pears
presided. The Hall was crowded with a most attentive
audience. obi& frequently showed its approbation and
interest by hearty apploase. The views, which were
excellent in themselves, and very well managed,
embraced a history of the Reformation, and of the
struggle between Proteetentiam and Popery, from
Wycliffe down to the present day. The portraits of
the chief Reformers at borne and abroad were given,
with incidents in their lives, as well as the cirentitstanell
of their deaths. Among the views, perhaps the most
beautiful were, Martin Luther before the Dit of
Worms; the youthful martyr and his mother —ther
last interview • the Bridge of Sighs at Venice (the boa
of all) ; and also a ritualistic church, with the spirits
of Creamer and Lamer witnessing the performance.
There were also illustrations of the great Caveat
Trial, with portrait of Miss Snorts; the doctrine of
transubstanbiation,with reponse Cations of the Inquisition
and its internal horrors. The learner's explanations
and remarks were quite to the point, sod seemed to be
rewired with much attention. Altogether, it was •
most useful lecture, as showing that prieskraft is the
same now as it has ever been, and only seeds the Power
of • giant "to nos It like a giant.' Should Kr.
Primmer revisit us next year, according to his present
intention, we think we may promin him that the 6611
will not be large enough to hold his audience.
