in traditional lore, as witnessed from a nature 1 terrace, and the scattered masses of rock in the river bed, present an enchanting sight. Farther afield, through a fine hanging wood bv the side of the Tees, Is a small enclosure, part of Marwood ancient park, in the trne character of Shakespeare's forest scenes, where his outlaws revel and bis fairies sport. Surely a fal l exactness of description, though clothed wi th the magic eloquence of Scott, or the charming detail of a Radcliffe, when applied to natural scenes, fails to convey an accurate idea to the mind, of the t ru th , i f not the beauty of Teesdale landscapes and quiet beaaty spots.
No wonder that for a loag succession of years thousands ot visitors have crowded the Haughs on the occasion of the Egglestone Agricultural Show, and though snow lay on " Stainmore's wint ry waste " early last Saturday morning— the day of the fifty-first annual exhibition—the north wind was tempered to the crowd in tbe afternoon, and a magnificent attendance was registered, the event suffering to the extent of, perhaps, only a thousand, owing to the adverse weather conditions. The entries were a trifle short, but in a l l essential features the exhibits were markedly meritorious. Draught aud harness horses, together w i t h dales' ponies, were an excellent show, and the cattle judges awarded a strong meed of praise to the bovine specimens. The judging in the short-horn classes was delayed i n consequence of a waggon containing Mr George Harrison's exhibits beinir derailed at Gaiuford station. The stock never arr ivid . The milking competition was intensely interesting, Mr G. Tarn. Park House, Lartington, being first: and cheers were raised for Hiss Mary Flynn, of High Shipley, when second honours were awarded to her. There were eight entries. The sheep, long-wooled, cross-bred and Mack-faced dales-bied, were typical of the excellence of Teesdale flecks. There was only one trier in the leaping. The Woodland Silver band, conducted by tit C. Dowson, gave an exhaustive programme ot music.
The judges were i Cattle—Messrs Leonard Burton, Fletcher House. Kirkby Stephen, and Wm. Robinson, Shield Asb,' Stanhope ; sbeep—Messrs John Wilkin, Brompton-on-Swale, and Jonathan Dargue, Wharton Hal l , Kirkby Stephen : draught horses and horses for general purposes—Messrs F.

T H E LUNCHEON was provided bv Mrs Golightly, of Barnard Castle, the chair being occupied by Mr W. Dent, of Naby, who is chairman of the committee. A t the oross table were Messrs C. Thompson, secretary; Mr Martin Parker, Wit ton Park, an old friend and hard worker for the prosperity of the society; Mr W. Baine, Mr H . E. Abbott, Collingwood, Broad Green, Liverpool and Bgglestone, who takes much interest in the social life of this part of bonny Teesdale; Mr H . C. Watson, Mr S. Coll jor . Government Experimental Farm, Keswick; Mr J. 8. Helmer. Bank House, Barnard Castle; and Mr John Walton and others.—The loyal t ou t s were pledged in a bnmper, and the Chairman then gave " Success to tbe Fhow." Twenty years age, that day, he said the show was visited by 10,0(0 people, but the weather conditions that morning had somewhat upset him, he being always anxious for a fine dsy. There was a slight falling off i n the number of entries, otherwise the revived exhibition was an exponent ot the excellent quality of stock in that neighbourhood —Mr Mar t in Parker, h responding, said there was a great future in store for the country. They had a record entry in hones, and especially were the draught horses commendable, while 122 dales ponies were scheduled, most of the classes being filled. I t was 39 years since they came to those beautiful grounds, and the recurring event had always been looked forward to as a happy reunion. The great success which the show had achieved was due to the excellent committee, and most of a l l was he rlad to th ink that they had such a redoubtable chairman. )n his r ight and on his left he had tbe Chairman .and Vice.
Chairman, who would agree w i t h him when he said that during the year they had many meetings, at a l l of which the business was carried ont w i t h dispatch. (Applause).—Hr Reine proposed " The Judges," and remarked that the executive attached much importance to tbe selection of adjudicators, l i e was quite certain that the success W that show from year to year was a good deal due to the judges, whose position was not an enviable one, though in selecting the best animal for the prize tbe arbiter conscientiously discharged his duty.—Mr Stephenson acknowledged the toast, and observed that in the produee classes they had had some very good samples of esculents before them, alike in turuips and potatoes.—Mr Mart in Parker, in submitting 1 1 The health of the donors of special prizes," said they had a wonderful host of friends who contributed year by year distinctive prizes, thus widening the area and range of the operations of the society,—Mr H. E. Abbott, wi th characteristic modesty, said i t not only gave the donors of special prises pie sure in giving the souvenirs, but even greater gratification and pleasure in coming to tbe show.—Mr-John Walton proposed tbe health of the Chairman, and cord tally reminded them that they had a chairman who did not th ink i t a trouble to travel about six miles to a committee meeting, so that. 1 hey might take i t for granted that he had the interest of the show at heart, (Cheers).—Mr Dent replied, aud was apprehensive in the early morning aa to the weather, though the day bad much improved.—Judging was then resumed.

BARNARD CASTLE MAN FATALLY INJURED AT DABLINCTON.
HIT ON THE HEAD BY A FALLING 1TEEL PETROL DRUM.
HEMORRHAGIC APOPLEXY IUPERVENEI. On Friday after QOOD H r J . T. Proud, coroner, conducted an
inquiry at tbe police station. Barnard Castle, relative to the death of John Fredei ick Bain*1, which took place at the home of his married sister iu Tnorngate, on Wednesday last. 17th August. The following were on the jury:—Messrs John Bobson (foreman ),W. Richardson, James Harris, A. Urquhart, W. Kastwood. H . Wninr. and T. Archer. P.O. Clarke was Coroner's officer, aud a Police Inspector from Darlington watched the case on behalf of the Nor th Eastern Bailway Company.
Marparet Hannah O'Hara, 4, Thorn gate, said her late brother was 46 last January. Be was a plumber, but W M latterly working at Hope Town Goods Yard, Darlington, as a jorter, where he was accidentally injured in A p r i l He came lome at intervals afterward", but finally left Darlington on
the 23rd of July. He had been i l l ever sine*, but not before. Deceased had been six weeks in bed. Dr. Robinson told her hat her brother was suffering from pressure on the brain.
He was partly unconscious and nearly blind during the whole tunc
George Whipp, a native of this town, goods loader, said about the middle of Apr i l they were removing empty steel >etrol casks from a rolley into a railway waggon. They had tiled one waggon and were pulling the rolley forward to a.
second waggon when a cask fell on to a man s shoulder and rebounded on to deceased's head. The impact threw him ou to a soft hole, but he was up in a minute or two, and had a scratch on his nose. About fire minutes after he resumed work.
Mr Young, foreman of the goods yard (who was preaent) : So report whatever was sent i n .
Sarah Legg, wi tn whom deceased lodged at Darlington, said he complained of bis head, that night, to her husband, blamed nobody, and worked next day and continuously for a fortnight, but after t h i t irretrularly.
T H E VERDICT. The Foreman said he had not the slightest doubt that the
cause of death was due in the first instance to sheer accident, and that no blame of any k ind was attached to anybody. From the answers to questions which he had put to the deceased's sister, he had formed an opinion that the in cause of death was hemorrhagic apoplexy. This < has. since the inquiry, been oi ally confirmed by Dr.B who says that the deceased had a l l the cardinal symptoms of cerebral pressure—tenderr ess over the seat of the accident, cerebral vomiting, optic atrophy, protrusion of the eyebalif, especially the left, total blindness of the r ight eye, and partial blindness of the left eye These symptoms indicated that the region of the accident involved was the hind brain or occipital region, which is the higher centre tor sight. Obviously the protrusion of the eyes was markedly visible to the jurors on viewing the body. Plato says i " And I said of medicine, that this is an ar t which considers the constitution of the patient, and has principles of action and reason in each case." A n aphorism of Hippocrates was : " Experience is fallacious and judgment difficult " From the foregoing facts, and without the aid of a medical man, tbe profession generously ascribes some credit to the Coroner and jury in arriving at the verdict returned, which was to the effect that the deceased succumbed to the development of injuries accidentally received while following his employment.
