A horse, attached to q carriage belonging to
Mr.. Daniel Davis, while standing in front of Mr..
Jos. Gary's, on Lake Street, became frightened
at peach basket in the hands of passing gen.
tleman, on Thursday morning and ran away
down Lake street, creating considerable excite
ment. The shafts were broken off and the car
riage damaged considerably in other places by
coming in contact with the fence. Miss Fannie
vasey and niece made narrew escape from in
jury by the runaway team, the wheels of the car
riage just grazing their dresses.
A horse which Mr.. D. Jones was Harvesting,
made big stir the same morning by breaking
loose from Mr.. Jones and running up Main ST.
on the side walk. The eatter of his hoofs on
the brick pavement brought people to their doors
and windows. Fortunately no harm was done
and ''nobody was hurt"
The Peach Growers Meeting.
Through an error, VIC inadvertently stated
last Saturday that the peach growers special
meeting was called for last Tuesday. 1t is call
ed for Tuesday next, 2lst inst. This will doubt
less be an important meeting and should be at-
tended by as many OF the fruit growers as can
make it convenient to be present. There is a
fair prospect for good crop of fruit this year.

discussed at the meeting next Tuesday. L.
Nothing Like Leather.
IT'S said there is 'nothing like leather"
Well tanned, it is certainly tough,
And when it is well put together,
Will stand good deal that is rough.
There's rarns that are too tough to swallow,
And work which goes rougher than all
But clothing which beats leather hoilom.

Fine Shad.
Our thanks are duo to Mossrs. J. II. Carver l.
Co., of Cranberry Fishery, for pair of splendid
shad, handed us yesterday 10y Mr.. Thos. Kirby
for them. They are the very finest shad that we
have seen this season. We understand from Mr.
X that Messrs. G. & Co. are having most excel
lent 'luck' in fishing, and are always ready to
supply any demands that may be made on them
for shad, herring or perch at short notice and ut
most reasonable rates. If al their shad are any
thing like the pair they sent us, it will bother the
lar-iamed Delaware shad to equal them.
