A GREAT McSiCaL EvENT.—The McGibeny family, one of the greatest musical.combinat ions on the toad,will give'ene night's entertainment here on Tuesday, Oct. 23, and, judging from the netices, they are creating a furore wherever they appear. The family consists of father and mother, L.? chidren, and 2 deughter-in-laws, and they travel and live in a palnee car which cost over $20,000. The following is from the London Free Press of last Friday:— The musical MoGibenys, of whom so many favorable things have been said on this their initial tour through Canada, made their first appearance before a London audience last night, at the Grand Opera House, and created a very pleasing impression, the applause and recalls being many and sincere. The family is remarkably versatile, and perform as a stringed quartette, brass band, vocal chorus or part songs, with equal ease and singular ability. The opening overture, " Mari- tani," led by Master Jamie, a little fel- low of seven, won warm approval. Mrs MeGiteny, a very handsome looking lady, sang "Sion," ably acconmanied . with iolin obligato by Miss Viola, an , piano by Mrs Hugh McGibenv. Tho I kindergarten selections by the littlo I ones brought round after round of ap- plause,and little' Les scented to capture the:hearts of the people by his cute maimer of. giving his parts. Hugh McGibeny, as a solo violist, should take a front rank; his work last night stamped hitn as a moat excellent artist. Miss Viola and Mrs Hugh 111cGibeny rendered their cornet duet very meet- ly indeed. The slide trombone in the hands of Fred becomes an instrument of power; the musical readings of Miss Allie was also excellent' and taking the programme as a whole it was exceeding- ly good. aad the audience last night were evidently delighted with the per- formance. fl,94erielkTPWANhig• $4&!ry trjt la " occesfarx19' *.APPI4W, the death of Mies Omma Middleton, tiiird.• dough -tar no( O.

It resulted in a victory for Morris by a score of 14--18 and an innings to spare. Mr James Nichol. of Seaforth has been engaged to teach S. S.

Mr Potter has given general satisfaction as a teach- ereand we bow) lie may'be,equally auc- cessful in his future work. He takes with him the best wishes of a large circle of friends and acquaintaices. • For 25 cent) cash we will send the New Ens to new subecribers until the let of January, 1889. Leeburn. Our butcher, W. Stracban, is kept very busy lately in order to supply meat for the various threshing, and Othet,CUStomers. Mr NrcGilliyary preached in Leeburn church on Sunday last, his brother Donald being ill and unable to take the charge. Mr John Williams visited Toronto last week on business combined with pleasure. His brother Quinton has also gone to that city and expects to remain, having accepted a situation there. Mr Stringer, wife and child, from Port Huron, who have been spending a few days here as tbe guests of Mr A. Horton, returned home on Mon- day,taking with them Mrs Stranger's sister, Miss Maggie Weise. The Dunlop scribe fot last week's Signal is blowing about the large yield of an acre of oats on Hive farm being ninety-three bushels, and says any doubting ones can measure the hued, but says nothing about measuring the land' from which they took the rest of the oats to make up d he bushel:4. • .—•••••••••••••—•. GORRIF. BunGLARS.—The people of this village are considerably alarmed over a series of robberies and store -crack ings which have been going on in this village and neighboring village dur- ing the past week. On 'Thursday night last the Post office store at New- bridge was entered, when a quantity of goods mid thiety-three dollara worth of postage stamps were stolen. The Newbridge hotel was entered the same night, where the burglfirs got nothing for their trouble and to show their spite scattered a large quantity of preserves oven the cellar floor. On Friday night Campbell's hotelAorrie, was entered and a large quantity of liquors taken, but no cash. An -at- tempt waemade to rob the post -office the same n ight, but some of the in- mates awoke when they heard a pane of glass removed and they made their escape. Ori the same night both . hotels in Wroxeter were broken into, but the burglars received little or nothing for their trouble. Another attempt was made in Gerrie on Sat- urday night or early Sunday morning. Mr W. J. Greer's shoe shop had a large quautity of shoes stolen. The general store of W. J. Perkins was en- tered the same night by bursting in the outside door with a bar. Here they made a big haul of dry goods and gents' furnishings. The sare was also opened and a quantity of silver taken. Mr Perkins had paid out a large amount of money for grain on Saturday and the light-fingered gentry evidently imagined they were in for a bonanza. On Sunday night Mr 11.11. Cook, of Fordwich, received a visit from the gang, when an attempt was made to break into his office, :but without success. Let other towns be on the look.out for them, as it is gen- erally supposed there is an organized gang and that operations will be di- rected towards towns and •yillagee further on. Porter's Mrs Woodman, of Londesboro,and Miss Neal, of Toronto, were visiting at Mr W. Roberti; this week. Our teacher, Mr W. E. Struthers, is attending the West Huron Teach- er's Institute, held in Goddricb, Ibis week. The eocial in connection with Be- thany church teameeting was held on Wednesday, and was a complete suc- cess financially as tvell as otherwise. Our affable salesman et Porter's Hill Emporium has left here, to pur- sue hie studies in Detroit. His smil- ing countenance will be missed by a large circle of friends, Mr Keane, of Clinton, takes his place. .11. • Grit tut I3end. A farmer near here brought three late rose potatoes to the store that weighed together 4/ lbs. Who can beat this. An old settler started one evening to hunt the cows. when -night came ou it left him in the woods; in the morn - he started for home as he thought and when he Jound out where he was, he was 8 miles from home. The engineers have been at work taking the level for a large ditch to cross several farms north of this place. A few farmers who prefer to raise frogs and toads to good crops, are doing some hard kicking against it, but it is going through all the same.

Tse sole question for us in this matter is, itie• der the present order of thine, el 1 we enjoy better mail 'service than be- fore the change, and are the conveni- ences to our people greater? If so, then let us give credit to those who have aided us in securing them, and by our support assure its perma- nence and further development. • Your correspondeot objects that we DOW ouly get part of our mails each day, bet if Hope Will reflect for a mo- ment, hewill see that there is nothing in this objection which will not equally apply to almost every point in the broad Dominion, and which would- not apply to us before the re- cent change. Mr Hope would make it appear that we have suffered ter ribly in our postal connexion with London, and mourns over the thought that whilst before we could write to London, and receive a reply the same day, now it takes four days. Let us see. (Under the old style the mail left Bay field early in the morning, and in order to catch that mail with a letter for London, Mr Hope would have to arise at such an early hour in the morning as would neceisitate dropping the last letter of his name, his letter would. require to be written and posted at or before 0 a. in., the let- ter woilTd Fe reidy for delivery inLon- don at 11, and the recipient, in order to reprf that day, would require to mail his reply before 4 o'clock p.m., five of the busiest hours of the day to most business men, which are not usually devoted to correspendence, and if Mr Hope will inform himself he will find that three-fourths of the mail matter comes from. London in the morning, proving that bueiness men do not make use of the evening mail. So that we may justly suppose that a reply to Mr flope'sletter would not go north until tbe following orning at the earliest, and the same would reach Bayfield on the second day and be ready for delivery about 9 p.m., too late to give the matter any attention that night, and too late to prepare a reply, if necessary, for the mail on the following morning, which is off with the beautiful one- horse stage beloved Jehu, along that delightful road, whilst yet Mr Hope is in his dreams.

The size is not al, ways the beet recommendation, es. pecially in shtep, as both the wool alul flesh MAY be Collfge accordingly. The black face and Southdowns were objects of great attraction, and were adwired for their beauty of form, fineness of wool, and promise of good mutton. In cat; le a gi actual l,IOnaao in minl. hers of fancy breeds is noticeable, such'as the Jerseys, Holsteins, Polled Augus and Aberdeens and Ayrshireig but they do not, nor will they, reach the numbers, nor the estimation of agriculturists, of the well -tried and tested Durhanis. More than twenty years ago the readers of the NEW ERA were told that the Durham and its grades was the best breed of cattle for Canada, as it was of rapid growth, good proportions, hardy, and a good feeder, and that only loss would be entailed by the attempt to introduce a rival to it. The same language will hold good now as it did then. But little may be said about the pig, as it has about reached its acme of iMprovement,and all the thorough- breds have points about them that may be highly prized, and are adapt- ed for different kinds of feeding and climate. The Berkshires and York- shires are the most hardy and will stand the moat cold, but the Suffolka and Essex will give, perhaps, the best looking dressed pork. The horse ring, together with the trapeseperformers,lady bicycle riders, jumping and dancing dogs, etc., drew the most largely, as the amphitheatre of seats was always crowded whenever any testiog of horses' speed, or any performance whatever was going on. Of course, a great deal of objection was taken by many to the introduc- tion of these circus -like mode of en- tertainment, but the management contend that they -give the full pro- gramme of fall exhibition displays, and these are extra for those who take no interest in the other exhibits. The balloon ascension and descent of the balloonist was an attractive novelty, but it was thought it not only cost more than it was worth, but that the useless risk of a life in such a manner should not be encouraged by a public association. There were five ascensions and the life-risker re- ceived $400 for each trip. The fire works, eiege and bombard- ment of Sebastopol, and stereopticon shadows were very attractive and kept the attention of crowds till late in the evening. Nearly every part of the province was represented in some shape or other, either in agricultural produc- tions, arts, sciences, or manufactures, your own town being prominently brought, to the for.- be the W.Doherty arise at my usual hour and take break- & Co.

The fact is that material and that the preponderance of coneen- physicial development for the comfort ience to businessmen and correspond- and happiness of mankind, set before mats generally in Hayfield and viciei. us at the annual exhibitions, is so vast that the 'mind is scarcely capable •of taking it all in. There is no doubt but that invention and discovery has been greatly stimulated by these an- nual fairs, therefore they should re- ceive every en cou ragemen t and patronage. The managers ot the railroads are deserving on this occasion and in one sense. at least,of high commendation. Notwithstanding the immense and increased pasvenger traffic there were no accidents worthy of notice, and the energetic efforts of the employees. in directing and assisting passengers was worthy of all praise. The rail- ways and exhibitions are dependent one upon another; one for travellers and the other for yieitore, proving tbat no one can live to advantage for himself. The Toronto Exhibition has now fully established its superiority, and it would be folly for any other place in Canada attempting to rival it. There is room for local shows, got up with such a degree of economy As will give every reason for being held without fear of entailing a loss to the association giving it, and such ones will receive a full share of public support. ty lived here for a long time, started e with his horse and buggy to hunt pe some young cattle be had on the commons on tbe bend.

But it will be noticed that Hope confines his attention to correspon- dence with London. I would point out that there are other points with which we have correspondence as important as this --:-Hamilton, Toron- to, Montreal and all points east. Now so far as the melte from these are concerned, every one knows that we recetyaLthem or 3 burs earlier Aran by the ofd. route, 'rind at an hour Which permits ittention to them that day. Our lugubrious friend, Hope, forgot to tell us too bow we had previously to wait until 9 at night to get the news of what was happen- ing in the world, too late to peruse with any degree of comfort that-day— now—think of it! Hope. and stnile, I can get my London Free Press at 5 o'clock, others may get their Glebes, Mails, etc., at the same hour. What comfort What luxury! Who would rrturn. to tbe ancient slow coach which brough t these 1 u xu ries to us near the dead hour of night ? And consi • r the advantage to the farmers, who n come into town on Thursday afternoon and get their weekly papers a day at least earlier than formerly. and get home during daylight. chuckle at the thought of the Stifteley farmers, who will soon understand and learn to appreciate the advantage, changing their P. O. hem Varna (which is wedded to the old route) to Bayfield, and coming to reap the fruit of an early mail eervice, and we citi- zens of Bayfield will reap the advant- age consequent upon their change of post -office. I sincerely hope that the citizens of Bayfield will unite in this matter in showing to the people of the surrounding country the advent. age which will accrue to them in coming to this place for -their mail, and thus aid in the material advance- rnent of our village. 13ayfield, I lth Sept., 188C8.1T1 SRN. 1'1/Milt° Correspondence.

The Wingliain Advoarice :—We have received an abstract of a letter sent to a gentleman in this district, from Al- phen, kticbigan, stating that a trunk was washed ashore there a short time since, which contained amongst other things the following art- icles : Some camping equipments, ket- tles or tirepalis, knivea and forks, a quantity of baby clothes, some photos, tax receipts, deeds, a marriage certif- icate and an Orange Lodge certificate, which bears the nameof Joseph Church- ill, No. 459, Morris district, Huron Co., Ont.- The letter says "I got this from Magee in Alpena," and is signed Wm. MeCreight. On enquiry we learn that the number of the lodge mentioned cor- responds with that at Sunshiee, and possibly someone in that vicinity can give us a little light on the subject. The Expositor's Gerrie correspond- ent writes :—Mr Samuel Willis while ploughing on his farm near Wroxeter, one day last week in a newly cleared field, turned up what proved to be a coffin of primitive construction, which, on examintaion„was found to oontain human skeleton. The coffin consisted of a henalock log neatly hollowed out and covered with a rude slab of the same material. The bones which were in a good state of preservation, were appar- ently those of a female well advanced in years, as but few of the teeth were remaining and these much worn down. A pipe of blue ribbon, some remnants of cloth and fur and a broken bone rat- tle or some suoh instrument, acoompan ied the bones, whioh are supposed to have been those of an Indian woman. This find has revived stories in circula- tion eighteen or twenty years ago to the effect that some Indians then camping in that vicinity had killed one of their women while on a drunken spree.

He feelingly review- ed his 28 years' labor and pioneer work in Turnberry, Howick, Minto and Wallace. The motion by the clerk ac- cepting the resignation of Mr Leask, stetted that in doing so the Presbytery realized that the service,' of an esteemed faithful, zealous, diligent pioneer minis- ter were being lost. Tribute was borne to the effiristian character, pastoral faithfulness, kindly disposition and sue. cessful labors of Mr Leask. Before the motion was passed members of Pres- bytery testified individually to the es- teem in which Mr Leask was held by them and the work he had aceonwlished The charge is to be declared versant on the third Sabbath in October by Rev Mr McLennan,and Mr D G Cameron to .act as moderator.

When is man named Grenier called in shortly afterwards the poison was working her, as indicated by twitching of the nerves.
