An Important Round.—Mr. Jas,- Biggins and Mr. John Johnston have been around soliciting subscrip­ tions for the fall show. Their work is an important one.

S. Benefit.—The Garden party’at Mr. John Middle*, ton’s, Goderich township,- had quite a’number of attendants from town, and was largely'patronised by those in • the more immediate neighbor­ hood.
