BARNET CArrLE Dar.)—This
morning the fair was opened with a large supply of stock
from various counties. BUFillebB was commenced among
breeders and dealers, and advanced prices obtained. The
home-fair extends over a large scope of ground, and is
studded with a miscellaneous show of animals. There are
very large droves of Welsh ponies and Irish horses, and
an active sale is made. The great pleasure fair is open,
and will be continued throe days. The horse tacos are
fixed for Monday.
A GOODS TRAIN ON FIBE.—On Wednesday
afternoon, as the Great Western goods train, which is due
at Patrictoft from Cheeter at 3.20, approached the former
station, it was seen to be on fire. (In arriving at Petri-
emit it was discovered that three wagons, two of which
were loaded with straw, and a third with woollen shirtings,
bottles of soda water, and other goals, wore enveloped in
Hamm. These waggons were next to the engine, and were
quickly unecuph-d from the. rest, and taken away. The
Nile of Bridgwater's canal runs close by the station,
and underneath the line. The burning waggons were
drawn up to this spot, and Meters. Leigh's tire-engine
having arrived, a copious supply of water was poured on
the flames, which, however, had got such a hold, that
they were not extinguished before the whole of the straw
was reduced to ashes, the shiitings destroyed, and the
soda-water had all "popped" off, like so many pistol
shots. Ihe waggons were also very much damaged. The
fire was caused by sparks from the etigine.--lbotehretes-

GUN ACtIDENT.—About 10 o'clock on Tuesday
morning last a party of friends, with Mr. Hooper, of
Littleton House, Weet Lavington, started from that gen-
tleman's house, for a day's shootang. They had not gone
about 400 yards before a covey of birds got up, which the
party drove into a strip of potatoes ; on their rising the
ncond time, the birds Hew all around the shooters, one of
them flying behind young Mr. Hooper, who,. with-
out noticing that his father was not to line
with the party, fired, and unfortunately sent
the greater part of the charge into his father's
kg. 311 x. Hooper was at the time standing under a hedge
about 30 yards off, and hie clothes being somewhat of the
same colour, presented his eon from so easily distinguish-
ing him as he might otherwise have done. At first it was
thought that the shot had had a fatal effect, as Mr. Hooper
fell to the ground, and was obliged to be carried home.
But we are glad to hear that there is every prospect of his
recovery. About 20 shots entered his leg, from his thigh
downwards, one going through his ear, and another
through the boot into his foot. A few of the shots have
been extracted, but the greater part of them it is impossi-
ble to get at. Had the shots taken effect higher up, they
would in all probability have punctured the bowels, and
led to a fatal result. —.Derius gazette.

ARRIVAL OF ANoTHER TEA-flair.---The steam-
ship Agamemnon has arrived with new teas from Hankow
and Hong Kong, having left the latter port on the 30th of
June, making the voyage, including coaling, in sixty-Ave
days. This, compared with the clippers, shows that had
they sailed together the new teas would have been in this
market nearly a month sooner. The Agamemnon is one
of a line of six steamers, owned by Mr. F&lt, now running
regularly between Liverpool and China.
LOKiiEVITF.—A few days ago Henry Atkins,
aged 94, Ann Pay, his daughter, aged 72, Henry Pay,
eon of Ann Pay, aged 49, and Annie Pay, daughter of
the last maned, aged =ti went cutting wheat together at
Lord Fitzwalter's, Goodnestone, near Faversham. Four
generations in a family is at any time a rare eight, but to
see four generations of full age at work together must
much more unusual, and says something for Kentish
constitutions and Kentish iiir.
