The musical and literary entertain- ment held in the James St,,Meth, Church on Tuesday evening last was a de- cided success and much appreciated by all present.

' ,`yin✓gid Mysterious Disanpearanee This community was thrown into state of intense excitementlast wee when it became generally known that Mr. Samuel'.Parkinson, of the 6th co of Usborne, had mysteriously disap peered from his home. After retiring i his usual health on the evening of th 17th inst., he arose at midnight, crosse the fields to the highway, and has n teen seen by his relatives since. Th missing man is 5 feet 8 inches is heigh weighs 175 pounds; is upright and fu chested, full beard, slightly gray, ver bald, and is 54 years old; wore ion boots, cottonede pants and jacket, brown fur cap, The unfortunate man is a brother of Principal Parkinson, of To- ronto, and a son of Thomas Parkinson, of this place. Scores of men are in search, but thus far their efforts have proved futile. The missing man is in good financial circumstances, and was living in harmony with his family and neighbors, The Fat Stock Show. We again remind our readers of the Fat Stock Show to be held at Exeter, under the auspices of the South Huron Agricultural Society, on Friday of next week, December 4th. The Stephen and Usborne Agricultural Society have very kindly given the use of their grounds and buildings for this show, so there will be ample and comfortable accommodation for both exhibitors and spectators. Liberal prizes are offered for fat cattle, sheep, swine and dressed poultry, We understand that a large number of animals are being prepared for competition at;this show, and we expect that the poultry exhibit will in itself be well worth seeing. There is, also, no doubt but buyers, both local and from a distance, will be largely represented. We hope, therefore, that the farmers of the Riding and others interested in Agricultural matters, will turn out in large numbers, and thus not only benefit themselves, but assist and encourage the Society in establish- ing this show which, if succehsful, must ultimately prove of immense benefit to the farming community, in a County where stock raising and feeding is such an important industry, as it is in the County of Huron. leer:oval :Mention License Inspector Ballantyne, of Sea - forth, was in town on Thursday, Miu W.
