The "large mangold" season is evidently not quite over yet, as Mr HARPHAM yesterday showed us a specimen, grown on his land at Taradale, which weigbhed 100 lbs, and measured five feet in length. The crop, Mr HARPHAM estimates, will yield about 110 tons per acre. At the R.M. Court yesterday, before Mr TURNBULL, R.M., George COLVILLE, who on the preceding day was dismissed with a caution for drunkenness, was brought up charged with a repetition of the offence. He was fined 1 pound and costs, the alternative being seven days' hard labor. An accident which might have been attended with serious consequences happened to Mr George CHICKEN yesterday afternoon. As he was unloading a truck load of timber at the railway station, the contents suddenly shot out, and Mr CHICKEN was knocked over and his legs buried by the wood. Fortunately some of the bystanders noticed the accident, and they quickly extricated Mr CHICKEN from his unpleasant position.
