Holman hag been forced from ill heelth to give up sohool teaching for a few days, and Mise Julia Spicer, of Exeter; is supplying his place,— Mr. Sleamon has been suffering from a severe attack of inflanaraation.—Mr. Smale, who speht the summer inBlanshard township, retuned home a short time ago, and has been practicing riding a bicycle, Some steeds are very tame in front, but dreadful will behind. But William's is often entirely unmanageable ; in fact it is a regular bucking broncho, and the daunt- less rider often lies in the ditch.—The threshers are finishing up their work on the 6th and 7th cone. this week.—Master An. son Smale is laid up with inflammatory rheumatiem.—The man, who, by his enter- prise, is successful in improving the stook of any township, whether it be horses, cat- tle, pigs, sheep or poultry, is a public bene- factor, and deserves praise and patronage by his neighbors. Such a one is Mr. Rich, Delbridge, of Winohelsea, who is now well known as a successful pig breedete.and who was awarded twenty-one first prizes, and sloven second prizes for five of his Berk- shire pigs at the fall shows. These pigs are bred direct from Mr, Green's first prize stook. Whilst on this subject, we might also say that there is considerable complaint among farmers regarding milk- ing cows. The more they improve their breed by using thoroughbred sires, the less milk and butter they get in return, and many'enave come to the conclusion that, taken on a whole, the Durhams are not the best kind, and a cry is being raised for a trial of other kinds. Here now is a chance foe the exhibition of a little philanthropy. Let some one introduce a German Jersey, Ayrshire, or Holstein -Friesian bull, as any of these crossed with the Durhams are said to produee good milkers. We write this hoping that it may lead to discussion, as the dairying interest is of great impor- tance. Let the voice of the farmers be heard.

CREAMERY PIEETING.—The annual meet- ing of the patrons of Kirkton ereamery took place in the town hall on 27th ult., a large number of the patrons attending. Mr. T. Tufts occupied the chair, nnd Mr. S. Burns acted as Secretary. The annual re- port showed that 25,050 lbs of butter had beeu made, and an average of Hi ots. per pound had been pairi to the patrons- Mr. Hannah offered to make the butter at theesame price next season, if the quautity manufactured exceeded 40,000 lbs., (the price paiclbeing 311. cts per lb.) if not, to be paid 4 cts. Tho factory ie also guaranteed to run not less than 5 mos. Mr Hannalns offer was accepted, hie price including all expenses attached to the memufacture and shipping of the' aforesaid, Security is giv- en by tho proprietor for the financial de- partment, The following resolution will, no doubt, prove interesting to the surround- ing farming community, and all others in- terested in the dairying iudnetry : Moved by W. jobustop, Esq., of Blanshard, sec. by Jas. Halls, Esq„ of Eliamille, that this meeting deeires to express their feelings with reference to the Kirkton creamery, be- lieving that the systeni upon which it is worked is the ouly correct one for making butter worthy of a reputation in foreign and home markets, and though the aspects O short Mine ago were discouraging, the future success of the incluetry is decidedly hopeful. At the same time we wish to glow our appreeiatien of the honesty, in-, tegrity, and practical business like manimr of the pronrietor and manager, hfr.

Truly your corres- pondent has beard the drunkard sing ; but in words of vanity which are generally accompanied by a terribly swollen head. The vaponrings of the individuals who disparage the (Odra's° of the Bev, Mr. Houston are uharaderistio of a drunkard's song, inasmuch as one is far from being "Geel save the Queen" as the other is from being in accord with the true principles of Oraugeism. As regards the term : "Wolf in sheep's olothing" 1 leaves that with them ; but I can say that I am not a fax rolled up in a lamb's skin, and if I attest as to my loyalty I do so in a good and deep seated spirit, not merely as an outward embellishment decorated with ignorance. I have been an Orangeman for over thirty years and have not, either by word or deed, soiled those colors of grandeur that are so dear to me, as to all true members of the order. Can these sparkling lights referred to, truthfully say the same? I have something important to put to these youngsters, which I shall apply at another time, when, possibly they will find that your correspondent is not ao "wind-broken" as is supposed. There are olattees in the constitution which.require to be directed to their attention, but not in public. Oh, brother! it is time to awake out of carnal slumber ; tee night is far spent, the, day is at hand. Let us all put on a higher colour—one that cannot be taken off on the day of celebration by any earthly man. In examining your cotem. closely, I find that there are two against oae, but if these propagators of the newly advanced funda- ments of Orangeism, from Exeter and Clinton, come out here with the expecta- tion of enlightening the fraternity in such line of argument as they have chosen they can cousider their mission of lese import- ance than the orange stolidity with which they are imbued el -rand Bend. Bunemeer.—Mr. Wm. Follis residence was entered, ou Sunday night, in the ab - of the family, and 510 taken from the till. No clue. IP 1. 4 Zurich, ----- A Goon °sop or Tuatties,—This should have been reported sooner. We claim Mr. Oswald, of the Bronson, is about the best turnip grower iu the county. From 2 oz, of turnip seed sown he' harvested 6 wagon loads, of 20 bushels each, or a crop ot 120 bushels of turnips. The seed was purchas- ed from Mr. D. Steinbach, merohapt, of Zurich. AOCIDENT.—An accident ocourred Tues, day of last week, which almost proved fatal to oue of our oldest citizena, in the oerson of Mrs. Bossenberry, sr. She was spend- ing the afternoon at Mr. D. S. Faust's, and while in the act of rushing to the front door to get a glimpse of a passing wedding party she mistook the door, and, opening the one leading to the cellar, fell head foremost down the stairs, receiving a terri- ble gash on the head. We hope to see Mrs. B. around again in a short time. BRIEFS,—Butchering hes commenced with a vengeance, aud our townspeople are laying in their winter's stook of sausage and speck.—"Dennis" was a guest at two wedding parties recently, and reports hav- ing had a good time at both events. We would like to know when the next ia to come. -111r. R. O'Brien, of the Sauble Line, shot an owl one day reoently in the im- mediate vicinity of his farm. There was a for trap attached to the owl's foot when it was shot. It was the property of Mr. O'- Brien ; he having set it for a fox, some time previous to the shooting of the owl.— By all appearances "old daddy winter" has set in, and 'blue noses' and 'bad colds' are the order of the day. The jingle of sleigh bells are again heard, and if the present weather continues sleighs will once more take the place of waggons. Boys, what about the first sleigh -load? Leap year is not out yet. We must not be in a hurry, or we might impose on good nature, don't yer know. Dashwood. A NARROW ESCAPE.—On Sunday evg. 25th ult., a farmer who resides a couple of miles north of the village, was very much startled when a sharp knock came to his door, and more so when he was met by a pretty maid much out of breath, who wildly exclaimed : "Help! helpl—Come quicely." The farmer for a moment did not know whether or not his neighborhood had, in the nocturnal hour, been transmitted into the wiles of Africa ; but by the anxiety and impressiveness of her implorings, he was soon moved to a eense of humanity and befriandliness, and with lanterns set oat in search of the wreck. The neighborhood was soon alive, and after a short search in the dark the explorers came upon a con- glomerated mass of horse, buggy, robes. hats, coats,. dm., piled in a deep ditch. Things were righted as best they could, and altar the unfortunate passengers had re- gained their equilibrium and got a thorotigh warming at a neighboring fireside, they were sent on their way rejoicing, loud in praise of the kind treatment of the farmer to whom applioatiou for help had been made. They reached their destination—a lively German village to the north—safely, but somewhat sore and troubled. As near as can be learned, the accident resulted not altogether through carelessness but partially on account of their attentions being solely given to the very sacred and beautiful song : "Jesus'Lover of my Soul' which they were rendering for the edifica- tion of the community north of Dashwood. But there was a sudden interruption The horse was enchanted by the sweet music and forgetting his ditty to the valued Passengers, imagined ho was on and apple - tree -selling expedition and turned suddenly as it is supposed, into a gateway, capsizing the buggy and precipitating the occupants, cranium first, to the much harder terra firma.

OYSTER SUPPER.—On the 22nd. ult. a O grand concert was giver in this place by the A. 0. F. Society, which, as preyiously announced, was iu every respect an unpre- cedented sucoess; and so successful and satisfactory did the participants in the pro- gram perform their parts, that the manage- ment, to attest its appreciation of their gratuitous services, tenderect an oyster sup- per, to which members of the order, the talent of the concert and tenvited guests,;in all to the number of about 60 sat down. After all bud done justice bo the oysters so excellently prepared by the mine host of the Commercial House the tables were cleared and the gathering partook more of a social character. Dr Buchanan was elected to the chair and after making a terse introductory address, dieected his attention to the program of "toasts" for the evening, and each MIS resnoutled to in a neat oration as follows:—"The Queen" by Mr. Daniel Dyer; "Canada and her Melilla," by Mr. Jas. mein, Dashwood ; "The Ladies," by Messrs. Wing ca MoNevin "The A 0 F," P. Wagner ; "Mine host," by Mr. H. L. Paine. Neat speeches were also made by Messrs, Bossenbury & Ban - craft, "uncle Tom." 'The toasts were imerepersed by excellent and appropriate songs by Mr. Dan'l Dyer, Mr. Durstein, Mr. Ed, Boasenbury, and Miss 13aird, of Parkhill, and others. At the concinsion of the bau pet, Mr. F. Wagner, rocs -Bede - tau arose and read an address to Mrs. Doan, while Dr. Buchanan, on behalf of the society, made her the recipient cf a beauti- ful aud costly library lamp, siniply as a token of their appreeiatiod of her valuable sermcos in niateriallv assisting the manage- ment in prepariog the program, aucl other- wise contributing to the success of the Into entertainment. illre. Doan was Milton by surprise, but being a lady of ninny talents, and ever composed, made' a pleesant and well-chosen toply. The affair throtighout was characteristic of the motto of the For- estic banner t—"Liberty, Benevole»ce and Conoord," and while it Was greatly to the credit of Court 'Zurich,' the tkatmeent of Ur.

"A huge, but mean Joke" Ex- plained. As it is now certain beyoed a doubt, that the artiole in your issue of Nov. 1st, under the above caption, wits aimed at me, you will kirally allovv me to explain. At the urgent request of "general mer- chant's" pastor, rny services were a free- will offering to his church daring Sabbath Oat. 21st. My entertainment woo pro- vided for without reference to "General Ilferchant," but at his cordial invitation I spent a night in his home, where I was re- ceived and entertained with princely. hos- pitality • this was the first thine I eves ever in his florae. Now read in the article under review :—"The other day a clergy- man visited town, and as is customary, put up at a friends, who is a merchant." Now for those "extensive purchases deo.", I. quote again:—"The purchaser approached his friend, the general merchant, a.nd borrowed uf hint money, with which he made exteusive purchases at the store of the neighboring merchant." Here are the facts had not thought 01 entering "the store where the bargains were offered," until, on Monday morning, my attention was called to the excellent value given there, by a Christian business man of , your town. I paid the cash for all I bought without borrowing money; nor did I ask any one to lend me money for the purpose. Up to that date I was exclusively the customer of said "generel merchant" so far as I dealt in any of his lines in Exeter. Yours respectfully, CLERGYMAN. Stephen Council. — -- Council met Deo. 3rd.
