LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT. - The meeting on Thuraday evening last, under the auspices of the Mechanics' Institute, was nut largely attended, owing doubt- less, to the other attractions that had pre- vailed during the day. The programme consisted of Vocal and instrumental music, readings recitati• n and an address from the chairman. The Directors of the institute take this opportunity of re- turning thanks to Misses Bertha Trainer, Maud Wynn, A. Wynn, Carrie Williams Maud Start, and Harry Rothwell, H. L Strang, C. Crassweller A. Saun- ders and others who kindly assisted. The Emerson International says: "Capt. Cook. who came up in the First Expedition under Col. Wolsely and com- manded a company' that was stationed at Dufferin, opposite Emerson, in 1870, is spending a few days here looking about the "old stamping grounds," and visiting old-time friends. The Captain lives in Goderich, having retired from the army, and is now enjoying honors gained bygallant conduct in the service of the ueen. He has not been in Manitoba since he left here in 1871, and it is needless to say that he scarcely re- oognizes the section of country contigu- ous to the north side of the internation- al boundary line, now the site of two thriving towns, but then only a wild, uninhabited prairie, the only building in sight in this section being the old Hud- son's Bay Post. The members of the First Expedition hereabouts, and a num- ber of old settlers, propose to honor Capt. Cook with a dinner this (Thursday) evening at the Golden ',Hotel, West Lynne. The tribute is well deserved, and the affair will no doubt be a pleasant affair." PLRA9ANT Svarslar. -On Monday evenit.g last the choir of the M. E.

Mr. H. I.j Strang presided. After an opening prayer by Rev. C. Fletcher, the Professor began an eloquent and forcible address, and for an,hour and a half kept the close attention of the au- dience. tie described the growth of temperance opinion in Nova Scotia. and also showed the development of the prohibitory feeling in Canada. He 'con- trasted the Dunkin and Scott Acts, and showed that while the former failed in many respect., the latter was likely to sive general satisfaction. He answered in a telling manner many of the objec- tions against the Act, and showed that out of 30 counties and cities which had voted on the Scott Act 28 had carried it, and there was not a foot of soil in Prinoe Edward's Island that was not un- der a prohibitory law. At the clow of the lecture Rev. Dr. Uro alluded in flattering terms to the lecture, and a re- quest was carried by the audience that Professor Foster ive another address at no distant day. He is well worth hearing. BENMILLER HAPPY. z.' enteessfel ages tag of Ilse feew n8/ New *flee/ HYese. , • On Saturday evening an evp`t of great interest to the people of this rectum took place in the formal opening of the handsome new school jttft completed. The building is large yid convenient, being box 30, is well /niched within, splendidly lighted and o ventilate&, and neatly equipped with desks. At large blackboard runs along the entire, width of the budding, and the trustees appesr to hare dune their best W make the new school worthy of the times. The con- tractor, Mr. A Heddle, appears to have macae a first.class job of it, /Having given entire satisfaction to the trustees, Mesas N. Morrish, J. Snyder, and C. Walters. The entire Dost of the school and its equipment& will foot up about $1,200; the here contract for the build- ing was $980. The school house was packed on the evening named, to listen to addresses on education from visiting gentlemen, interspersed with music. Messrs W. Morrish and P. Cantelon acted as joint eh:dreian, a rather novel procedure, but one that seemed to take splendidly. Each made a brief and appropriate ad- dress Mr. J. R. Miller, P. S. T., opened with prayer. Mr. A. J. Moore, .•f Goderich High School, in a witty speech, complimented the people of the section on their tasty and comfortable school. He applauded the action of the trustees itt having a ventilator put in -the only ventilation in the tint school he attended were the chinks in the logs, or the broken panes of glass. He stated that the greater number of clever students came from the country-, :11r. James Mitchell of the 'tar, fol= lowed itt an admirable address, in which he showed the possibilities of develop. ment and urged upon all the importance of fitting themselves for their place in• life. He also complimented the trustees upon leaving the old school for the hand- some new one. Mr. T. McGillicuddy, of Tas SIONAL, spoke upon'the advantages of a liberal education, and claimed that it was be- yond the reach of none who desired it. He alluded to the excellent order which had prevailed, and hoped that Mr. Can- telon would be as successful in mercan- tile pursuits as he had been in teach - School Inspector Miller congratulated the contractor and the ratepayers on the excelient building. He paid a high tribute to the character of the teachers of his district. He related amidst much laughter, how he got the trustees in fever of a new -school. He visited the old school one bitterly cold day, and got the trustees into a corner near a broken pane, and a crack in the wall. Soon they shifted near the store, hut he got them back to the cold corner again, and they soon favored a new school house. There were few better echo"l houses in the district than that in which he now spoke. In South Huron $100,000 had been spent in new school houses, and there were 10,000 pupils. He also stat- ed that the 0.»t per pupil was lower in this district than in the province gener- ally. He alluded to the case of a lad educated in the Benmiller school who was now getting 8525 in Middlesex as a teacher. He referred to Mr. Cantelon Ias one of four teachers with him since he had been appointed Inspector. He had done his duty faithfully and well, much better than most teachers would have done under the circumstances. Mr. Cantelon stated that ialth••ugh leaving the section he trusted that he hail no bad friends in it. He had taught in it for eight years. Music was furnished by excellent choirs composed of Messrs. Geo. Stew- art, Chas Stewart, Mrs Miller and the Misses Ginn. Mr. James Stevens and Muses Leonora Stevens, Mary Stevens, E. Stevens, Nellie Broad and Charlotte Morrish. Mr. and Miss Henning., of Goderich, assisted in the singing. The Misses Fisher also sang some pieces in a very sweet manner, and a solo was giren by Miss Broad. After votes of thanks, the meeting, which was a successful one in every par- ticular, dispersed. Wm.

Two well-known residents of Bayfield, aged about 65 and 75 years respectively, one a village father, met on the market, and having a dispute over some matter, undertook to settle it by the "manly art.'' The hotel keepers did a rushing busi- ness on Show day. The stables were over ercrowded, and indeed some of the more popular places had nut yard room for the horses. Our thanks are due to Mr. Jae.

Mr. ood has been a resident of Bayfield for nearly a quarter of • century. The Council of this village held its monthly meeting on the 4th of this month at Morgan's Hotel Only two of the Councillors, Mr. Morrison and Mr. Stanbury, and Mr. Eosin, the Reeve, were present. Upon the motion of Mr. Stanbury, seconded by Mr. Morrison, a few small accounts amounting in the ag- gregate to $9.24 were ordered to be paid. Ten dollars were granted to the Stanley Branch of the Agricultural Society, to be paid to the treasurer of the Society upon the order of the Reeve. The section of the By-law fixing the collector's salary for the current year was ordered to be repealed, and five dollars additional given to that officer for his service& A resolu- tion was then moved by Mr. Morrison, seconded by Mr. Stanbury, that all tran- sient traders who may visit the Bayfield exhibition next week, offering or ex ing for sale any article of any kind shall pay the sum of $4.00 license fee for the privilege of selling, and that Mr. George Parke be appointed to collect . the same and see that the conditions of the resolu- tion be strictly carried out. As two of the councillors were absent it was not thought expedient to proceed further with the business of the council, and it was adjourned to meet again at McCann's hotel on the first Tuesday of November, at 2 o'clock p.m. G ATHENS/4G Or FRE CLAN& -Quite a number of the relatives of Mr. Wm.

FOR SCOTLAND. -Mr. and Mr James Dallas, of Tuokersmith, and Mrs. A. G. McDougall, of Seaforth, left here on Thursday for the old country. They sail from Quebec on Saturday by one of the Allan Line boats. They expect to be absent about six weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Deltas go for the benefit of their health, and Mrs. McDougall to visit friends. We wish them all bon voyage. It is 33 years since Mr. Dallas left Scot- land, and on his return he will see many great changes. We hope, however, that both he and Mrs. Dallas will return ful- ly restored to their former health. INTERMEDIATE EXAMINATION. -We are glad to learn that Mr. Wm. McKay, a pupil of Seaforth High School, formerly reported Grade B, has upon appeal re- ceived Grade A. The number of marks required on the total for Grade A was 720. Mr. McKay made 742 on the to- tal, or 22 marks over the required stan- dard. He, however, fell two marks be- low the standard, on composition, ac- cording to the original report. On re- vision by the Central Committee, this mark has been raised and a A certificate issued. The correct respect for the Seaforth High School is there- fore: One A, seven B's, and five C's, out of twenty -fire candidate,. CHINESE Come -Mr. Geo. McIntosh of McKillop, has left with us a curiosity in the shape of a stalk of Chinese corn. This corn was grown on Mr. McIntosh's farni, from seed brought from China by his brother-in-law, Rev- Dr. McKay. The principal peculiarity about it is that the heads grew in clusters. On the stalk we have, there are four heads grown out together. The stalk also and the leaves are considerably darker than our corn.• The season here, however, is too short to permit it to mature. This corn was planted early in the spring,and judging from its appearance, it would require a month or six weeks growth yet to bring it to full maturity.-lExpos- itor. PANNING BAD MONEY. -A young men named Mills arrived in town on Monday last, and after looking around for a time, entered one of the stores and purchased some grapes, in payment for which he presented a three dollar hill. The little fellow to whom the hill was given, think- ing it was genuine, gave the young man the change, which amounted to about $2.90. The proprietor who was absent at the time, returning shortly after, dis- covered the counterfeit, and immediate- ly instituted a search for his victimizer, who, upon being made acquainted with the law in this case, and the risk he had run in passing the hill, handed back the money he received in change. Constable Gill having got wind of the affair, kept a London to Kincardine and engaged as clerk at D.
