PATRICK JOHN KAIN was born at Limerick in 1844 and is the third son of John Kain of the same place. He left the old country with his parents at a very early age, by the ship Chatham. He assisted his father, who was engaged by Mr J. Chambers on arrival. Sometime afterward they went to Virginia, about 18 miles from Adelaide, and took a 40 acre selection, which was increased eventually to 1000 acres. At the age of 20, their farming being very successful, he went to Seven Hill College, and there received his first education, Two years later Mr. Kain went into partnership with a Mr. Kelly, and took up land in the far north, and commenced sheep farming, having 2500 sheep, 100 head of cattle, and 50 horses. They were quite successful for a time, and were offered by the now Sir Thos, Elder 27,000 pound for their farm, and one year later the three years drought started which ended in their ruin. However, they paid 20s. in the pound, and left the district with 50 pound each, after 12 years' hard work. Mr. Kain returned to Virginia in 1868, and took up a selection of 250 acres in conjunction with his father. He afterwards increased it to 6,000 acres, 2000 of which is freehold, and then thought to combine grazing with agriculture, and took up 4,000 acres more from the Government and private people. Shortly after he retired for a while, and let his lands to different individuals, whose bills he backed, but has never recovered anything from them. He was ruined a second time through speculating in mining, etc., and lost heavily in an hotel business at Paskeville. In 1867 he opened an hotel at Green's Plains, but gave it up after 12 months, and took up 1,100 acres. He purchased the residence in which he now resides, which is situated in the centre of his farm. Mr. Kain has 1,000 acres under cultivation, and grazes 200 sheep. He married in 1869 Miss M. Dowdy, daughter of Wm. Dowdy, a very old colonist, residing at Gawler, and has a family of one son and one daughter. He is a moderate Protectionist, but favors Intercolonial Freetrade.

On Friday evening Last. Mr. P.J.Kain, of this place, met with a serious accident while returning from Kadina. The horse he was driving first attempted to bolt, but being unsuccesful turned his energies the other way and kicked out the front of the trap, breaking Mr. Kain's leg just below the knee, cutting his face, and by a sudden turn of the trap throwing him out on the road, where he lay for nearly two hours, until found by Mr. Allen, of Boor's Plains. With the assistance of Messrs. Stanway and Mitchell, Mr. Allen conveyed him first to the doctor at Kadina, and from there to the hospital at Wallaroo, where he is now progressing as well as can be expected.
