The last fejy days have been the first hiut of “gentle spring” that the weather has condescended to give us, Simpson’s and Cunningham’s stores have had their external-econ omy transmogrified into buildings of beauty by the judicious application of “warranted tp wash” coloring matter!

E, Hamilton, on Friday 17th was witnessed by a large and de*, lighted number of people. Among those‘present from Goderich were Messrs Arnold, Malcolmson and Porter. Mr. Hamilton will give another exhibition on Wednesday, April 29 th. Butter Making.—It seems to be* now ,conceded even by those who at one time looked upon the creamery system of better making as a scheme of the enterprising few to make •money at the expense of the many, that such views were wrong. We have taken some trbuble to investi gate the ordinary domestic mode of, making butter and oompare it with the creamery system arid can come to no other conclusion thari that the creamery system, is the most profits able tor-all concerned. It is the most profitable to‘ the- owners of cows ; most profitable to the retail merchant; , most profitable to the jobbing merchant whojiandles it in quantities, and Hiost profitable to the dousumer whether he butters one?or both sides of his bread. It can easily be demonstrated that the own ers of a given-number of cows will make more by selling cream to ,the creamery during the season than by having his family make it into butter and giving their labor fbr-riot’bing. This may seem st range,but a brief in-’ vestigation will fiiid it correct, . The owner’qf a creamery properly man aged with probably average 20 cents a pound for all he makes,while dur ing the sane season individual make i's...w iUui ot^et/more.. t b a n_15. cents. The uniformity in’ color .and the greater excellence of quality, accounts for the better price which creamery brings. . No matter how good butter is made by the farmer’s- wife it '.will deteriorate, if soldin small parcels to merchants, before it can be packed. ? Th'e iireaniery own- er is iio t ta k i n g tjie-pr-ofi-ts from-*th e owners of .cows, afty niore than the ’’owrie^of a sawmill ,is taking the profits of a man’s bush from him. The owner of a saw.mill has iaiprovs ed appliances and machinery for' making luiiiberr^ He. buys ‘loys and cuts tlitem into merchantable lumber ‘and makes money by Iris enterprise and skill. The original, owner of the 'li>gs might 'have bis sons'help To whipsaw,.by-hand, iind convert them 'into lui'nber. The lumber would not be as uniform in thickness fete, as the mill made lumber and would cost ; much more, in fact, if sold -at all the home tn a h u factured I u m her,would ,pro hably not. realize moi e than coubl have been obtained-for the logs, and the labor of whipsawing would be • strfritich hard work lost. The labor of tile*farmer’s faniily'in riiakjn'g butter where the creamery system can be made usfe of is* just sro much labor .thrown' away.

The water then'rose ra pidly and just before six it was within two feet of the top of the break water. . At this timeserious damagewVas an ticipat ed to tlie large lumber piles, and just when the wise- ones were sure all the lumber would be washed away the mouth of the river cleared, •and mountains of river ipo passed at fiery speed through,, the opening, leaving a clear channel to the north, the harbor side being, still solid. When the water, was at its highest it poured through the opening in tho breakwater .on tq the R. R. track forming numberless bea'utiful water falls. On Sunday morning the break water was crowded with persons in tent on witnessing the shove on tho south, side, but between twelve and half past, nine-tenths of the sight seers left for the mid-day meal. Their departure seemed to have moved lhe waters, for at twelve-forty the grinding ice betokened a speedy break up, and almost before the few watchers,, left could, choose good points fbr observation, immense blocks of ice were thrown many feet out of the water, and themext in stant ground the accumulated avalan* che behind Into the fipest powder.
