<ANCADEINI At AlAAkSENCE.--Ou Z ueS~
day Of last week an unfortunate acct
dent occurred 10 the new Methodist
church 1t Clarence, by which four ge,,-
tlemen were hurt, one, at least of them
quite severely. Mr.. Duncan Ferguson
of the firm Of Simmons, Hanna & Fer
guson, J. w. Simpson, c. Ludden and
Rev. w. B. Allen were upon scaffold
in the interior of the new NJ. T.. church.
engaged, If we are correctly informed,
in putting fresco paper upon the ceiling,
where the scaffold gave way and they
were precipitated to the floor, injuring
all somewhat, and the last named gen.
neman, who Is pastor in charge, SO
severely that fears were at first enter
tanned for his life. The physician
thought he had sustained internal inju-
ry, though Of what character could not
he determined. On Tuesday of this
week, we were informed that he was
much better and thought improving.
THE HARVEST of wheat and oats is
nearly completed in this vicinity, and,
As we predicted, the damage resulting
from the unfavorable weather is not
proving SO serious as was anticipated,
nor even as from the severity and con
tinuance of the unfavorable conditions
we had apparent reason to expect. From
all we can learn, there will he realized
at least two-thirds Of an average crop of
wheat, acre for acre, perhaps more,
which will with the extra breadth sown,
probably give a greater number Of BUSH
els than ever before. This seems to be
about the state Of things throughout the
State, the report from many localities
putting the average per acre even better
than this, and in some places, not al
hitting any material loss to have been
sustained.
The press Of work among the farmers
hereabouts has been very great since
the opportunity began. The delayed
ay-making and the rapid maturing Of
both wheat and oats have called all
available help into the fields; but al.
though harvest hands have been in
good demand, we have not heard Of any
crops being lost from the want of help
to secure them. Indeed, by this time,
the work Of securing Cedar county's
harvest is nearly completed, and such a
harvest too, as can but deprive the
gloomiest croaker of the privilege Of be-
moaning starvation or an approaching
importation of breadstuff

A certain Dutchman, owner of a
small house, had effected an insur-
ance on 1t of eight hundred pounds,
although II had been built for much
less. The house got burned down,
and the Dutchman then claimed the
full amount for which II had been I'm
sured but the officers of the compa-
ny refused to pay more than its actu-
al value, about six hundred pounds.
He expressed his dissatisfaction I'm
powerful broken English, interlad-
ing his remarks with some choice
Teutonic oaths. "If you wish" said
the actuary of the company, "wewili
build you house larger and better
than the one burned down, as wo are
positive that 1t can be done for less
than six hundred pounds. To this
proposition the Dutchman objected,
and ut last was compelled to take the
six hundred pounds. Some weeks
after he had received the money he
was called on by the same agent, who
wanted him to take out policy OF
life insurance on himself or OH his
wife. IF you insure your wife's life
for E2000,' the agent said, "and she
should die, you would have the sum
to solace your heart" "You sur
ance fellows ish all tiefsl" said the
Dutchman. "If / insure my wife
and my wife dies, and II goes to the
office to get my two thousand pounds
