FOUND DEAD. ---On Tuesday ev.ening last, a widow woman, commonly known as Mether Gar- roty, who lived alone, in a shanty on the Huron Road, about half a mile weat of Seaforth,: was founddead, on the floor, by her son. Shei was last seen alive about two hours earlier, when she appeared to be in herusual health. . The day fol- lowing, an inquest was held,. on the boiler, by Dr. Tracy, and as there wasnoindication of foul .play, a verdict was rendered, that she came to her death by natural causes. - The Coroner gave his opinion, as a medical man, that death was pro- bably caused by heart disease. • Too LATE. -Advertisements from the follow- ing, came in too late for insertion this week, I they will appear in our, next issue: Wm. Cam bell, who announces the receipt of an extensive and varied assortment of Spring Goods; W.

Counter, one of the largest stocks. of clocks .and watches west of Toronto : T. K. Anderoii, an entirely new stock of goods in the tail ring line. WESTWARD HO !-----For some nionths pa t, Westward mania has prevailed through 1 this section of country. Young men and old men have been,: alike, smitten. For weeks they have been going, by onesand twos and .threes and Aura but on Monday they went by the score, litera113-. On the day in question, there weN sold,. . at the 'agency, here, 8 tickets for San Wancisco ; 9 for Kansas City ; 2 for Corinne, 1.1.tak' en route for Nevada ; 2 for Atchison, Kansas ; for St. Jos- eph MIS ; 1 for Quincy, Ill. ; 1 for Warren Ill. Mc week previous, 6 tickets were sold for Omaha. For the information of other parties, similarly disposed, we would say, that by .purchasing through tickets, of Mr. Brigham,. at Houghton's Hotel, in this place, quite a saving is effected. A Mistake • THE following paragraph, which owes its pa- ternity to the diseased brain of a scribbler f r a Mitchell paper, has, we notice, been copied by one or two journals. . • " We learn, frcau reliable sources, th een- tleman of long experience in the printing busi- ness, iw. about starting a new Reform ejourna in Sealorth shortly. It is to be the size of the Daily Globe. The subscription price per an um will he only one dollar. Tho name has* not. as yet been decided upon, but it is thought it jvill be the Seaforth News." , .

SATISFIED AT LAST !--0TEMbling at newsPa- pers is fashionable. The disease seems to lbe chronic. But there is one instance on record- " tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon"-in which the people -generally ex- pressed themselves -well satisfied. As we passed along Main St., the other evening, we observed three men standing near the door of one of our hotels, and we overheard the following converge- Con- :----" Wee], Jamie, what dye think o' the Exr. osrroa moo ?" .' Weel, Jock, I wad be ill tae please if I was na weel satisfied wet nee." "Aye" Said Tam, "there's a great amount o' readiut metter in't."

The three worthies no doubt whistled "up an' weer them al Wilily" beH fore they sep r ,ted." , WROXETER. etoneass. -The address of W. T. Hays, Esq„ M. P. P. to the "Electore of Ilowickand ad- jeining Townships" was, we believe, rather poor- ly attended, on account of the stormy evening. -THE WEATHER. -Mill owners, and others, are beginning to fear that if the late heavy stoma should be succeeded by a sudden thew, and such are the indications at present, that there will be another sweep of mill -dams, • bridges &c. DENTISTRY. -We notteethet J. A. Ellis, Sur- geon Dentist, has hung eut his shingle at Play - ford's Hotel. He will be in Wroxeter for one week; and those who want to get a good set of "store teeth" would do well to give him a call. BLYTHE. FATAL BOILEIFE EXPLOSION.-Ou Tuesday, 15th inst., a sail accident occurred in Mr. McQuarries' steam shingle mill. The fireman, Samuel Cro- tondiad shut off the supply of water from the boiler, and deglected to turn it on °again ; the consequence of which was, that while ,he was • busily engaged working about the engine, the boiler exploded, scalding hun severly from head to foot. So serious was his position, that his boots were filled with boiling water. One of his companions, immediately carried him to a neigh- bouring house, and niedical aid was summoned; but his injuries were beyond repair, and he only sarvived the accident about twelve hours. We are sorry to add, that he .leaves a wife and family. BLITEVALE. STosat.-A tremendous heavy .8flow stornarag- ed in this.vicinity last week. The rim% were literally blocked up, but at present; there is every, appearance of a break-up. ' ACCIDENT, -A. young lad, in the employment of Mr. Smilie 2nd Con. Morris, had the misfor- tune to get badly kicked in the side: by one of his employer's horses, when leading him out to .water. He is under the care of Dr. :•-• Graham, Ainleyville, and, we are happy to state, rapidly recovering. - FIRE. -A fire broke out in the Shingle Fac- tory of Messrs. D. Stuart & Co., on Monday afternoon last, but through the exertions of the -.Wagers, the flames were soon extinguished. The fire is supposed to have originated from the smoke pipe. -Damages are trifling. WINGHAM PUGILISM. ---Two . young men, named, res.. pectively Grose & Gobson, indulged in a chal- lenge fight the other day. They were brought before our worthy enagistrateene Currie .and L S Brace Esqs. who fined Grose $4.- with costs. Sure- ly the ways of pugilists are expensive. - BuswEss.--Business in general,' is rather dull at present, exeept in lumber. Owingto the un- precedented low prices, at which Messrs. Gregory and Fisher have been selling their timber of late, many individuale have been induced to build, 4 who, otherwise, ,would not think of the Ilike, these hard times.. ,{ CONCERT. --Last Thursday evening. as an- nounced, Mr. Orr, together With about fifty 'rehildren from his juvenile class in Wingham, gave a concert at the Nile. The singing of the children, their dialogues, and recitations were that could be desired and were loudly applauded by the audience. The children returned next day, highly delighted with their pleasant drive. ACCIDENT. -Mr. R. Sadler, a teamster in the employ of Mr. John Gregory, was dangerously injured by one of the horses Whilst in the act of cleaning his team, one of them got frightened, and turning suddenly around, knocked Mr. Sad- ler down and tramped on him, leaving a cutabout four inches long in, the upper part of his head. He is at present under the medical treatment of Drs. Gardiner and. Tamlyn, and is hardly expect- ed to recover. - PREPARATIONS FOR A FeesitEr.-The snow is still very deep in this vicinity, . although the recent rains . have taken away a considerable quantity of it ; r and the inhabitants in the lower village are beginning to construct their rafts, and examine closely their canoes, in ex- pectation of their great annual raft and canoe excursion, on the streets, which generally takes place every spring, when the village is inundat• ed by the river. THE RAILWAY MOVENIENT.-Only a few of the schedules, which were to be filled up by tl • different members of the Northern Railway Com- mitte, giving returns of the last Townships as- sessments, themumber of acres in each, the amount of cleared and in bush, the 'amount of cereals raisede the number of cattle, what timber, lumbar, passengers &c., have, as yet, been re- turned to C. Tait Scott Esq._ More than two thirds of the municipalities have not been heard from, but it is hoped that they will make their returns with 18 little delay as possible. IMPROYEMENTS. -Mr. 0. Griffin is taking out tinrber for the erection of a private residence. A few neat cottages, such as he propoires to build this Spring, would greatly enhance the appear- ance of the Village. Mr. C. Tait Scott, our en- terprising nei bor, iin s fitting up another co - 3 modious stor to which old. friend Warren in- tends to move In a few days. His stock will consist of dry goods. groceries - &c. As he therouehly understands his business, and makes very moderate charges. we feel quite confident .that he will receive a fair share of public pa- tronage. t. * USBORNE. REMOVALS. --Many of the good people, of these parts, seem to have gotten a ruania for going to see; if Uncle Sam will not do more for them than Canada. - Last fall wome of Mr. Geo. Downie's family- removed to Minnesota; and: this week, after a residence of 25 years in. Usborne, he and the est ofAns family, and sevezal others, have gone to the States also. DEBATING Can -The Luniley Debating Club is Still carried on, and its influence seems to be on the increase, if wemay judge from the interest taken in it, by the public, and the importance at- tached to some of its deeisions. The subject die- ., cussed last evening was • Resolved that the Press has more influence than the Pulpit." The chair was occupied by .A. Bishop Esq., who give the decision in the negative. The subject for de- bate next TuesclaY is: "Resolved that Free Trade would be more beneficial to Canada than Protection." SellooL EXAMINATION. -A public examination of the School, in Section No. [of this Township, was held on Friday 18th. This School, tauglrt by Mr. G'-eo. Moir, stood first at the Township Examination in Dect, .and all who were present on Friday last were satisfied that it mented.the distinction; there being a large number of pu- pils far advanced in the higher branches 'of, a com- mon school education. Theexercises, :which con- tinued, the whole day, were enlivened, at inter vals• by vocal music, by the pupils; and a lunch, provided at noon, added materially, .to the com- fort of all present. There were present; during the day, upwards of a hundred spectators,' among whom wenoticed Rev'd Messrs. Hooper and Rice, Mr. Bonis, the Local Superintendent, and eight teachers from the adjacent sections. Though the pupils were' well drilled, on all the subjects on which they were examined, the most noticeable features of the Scheel were the good order main- tained, and the proficency of many in reading and mathematics. A. special prize for the best `reader in the sch ol, was awarded to Miss E. Case. At the ,conclusion of the day's proceedings, those present were briefly addressed by the two Rev. gentleman present, and some of the teachers. Mr. Bonis acted as a chairman, and concluded with a neat and appropriate speech, on the du- ties of parents, with regard to schools, and the educational advantages enjoyed by the youth of Canada. In the evening, a splendid exhibition, of comic and instructive songs. and dialogues and recitations, delighted and instructed the crowded audience, assembled in the school room. The only thing complained of, *as the crowding and 'want of room, but as we think the audience was more to blame for that tnan either Mr. Moir or his pupils, who toek part in the performance, we will let that pass without comment. The exhi- bition listed till about hab -past ten, when the assembly dispersed and we departed, wishing Mr. MAr every success in his future labors in this s tion. THE HURON Exclorrori. EXETER. Social.. --An interesting Social, was given by the -Band of Hope, in this village on Friday night last, This "Band of Hope" under the Superintendence of Mr. James Down is compos- ed of about 250 children, between the ages of 5 and 14,- who have enlisted under the Temperance Banner, and by their united efforts exert a pow- erful influence in favor of that cause. At about halfjpast seven o'clock p. m. the meeting was opened by singing one of their best pieces, to which, led by Mr. C. Senior musical metructor and accompanied by Miss Gordon, on the' melo- Aeon, they did auiple justice ;and certainly the singing during the whole evening reflected great credit on the performers. During the intervals, between the music, several pieees, both of a sen- timental and amusing character, were recited by these juveniles who displayed a very fair amount of skill in the art. Towards the close o the evening, appropriate and instructive speeches. were given by the Revs. Messrs. Hooper and Rice. Also, two handeonie Bibles were present- ed by the Band of Hope, one to Mr. J. Down, and the other to Mr. C.. Senior, as a token of re- gard and eateein. The presentation address was read by Mr. Thos. Hooper. The meeting was closed by singing the National Anthem,and the audience dispersed, highly pleased with the even- ing's entertainment. It is hoped that this wiil not be the last occasion, upon which this com- munity will be entertained, in a similar manner, by the same joyous Band. HOWICK.

Hays Esq., met the Electors of this Township, in the Orange Hall, Leechville, on the 10th inst. Jas. Per- kins Esq., Reeve, was called upon to preside. Mr. Perkins made a few timely remarks, and then called upon Mr.- Hays'. Mr. 'Hays' .aid, the first act done in Parliament was to -place 8500,000 in Government Debentures'. The Op- position made a test question of this, by moving in amendment,i that t should be placed to the credit or the Province, in the Banks doing busi- ness in Ontario. He was very severe, on the Opposition, for bringing in the petition, for mak- big a grant to the widow of the late Wm. Lyon Mackenzie. Subsequently, however, he acknow- ledged that it was not strongly opposed by the Ministry, some members even voted for it, and others shirked. He voted against the abolition of "Dual .Representation," because the Queen gave, to us, the right of electing one man to both Parliaments. He voted against legalizing cer- tain illegal by-laws, passed by certain Town- ships in favor of the Toronto Grey & Bruce Rail - ay; for he never would go for breaking the guards of safety of the people by legalizing that which was, in itself, . illegal. Ile juatilied the Nova Scotian grant. He heard Alderman Bax- ter say that Toronto would nett $5,000,000 per year by transhipment, from the "Narrow Gauge," ther efore he opposed this Railway. He stated that the entire del. t of Quebec and Ontario was $62- 500,060, the whole of which was assumed by the Dominion. (By the way, there is an unaccount- edly want of harmony between- and the statement of Hon. E. B. Wood, made in the Commons sin the 8th inst, that the excess of the debt over $62,5(10.000, was tosbe divided be- tvieen the two Provinces, which at present amounted to $12.000.000). Mr. lla.ya thanked the audience for the patient and attentive hear- ing he had received and the meetin closed with " Three Cheers" for Mx.. Hays. KINBtTRN Friend Expositor, Are you aware, Sir, that your townsman J. Campbell M. D. i3 in the practice of setting his face, voice and influence against the drinking usages of Society ? If .3ot already aware of it, beg leave to assure you, and all who read your capital sheet, that such is decidedly the case.; to which, we of Kinburn and vicinity, can most cheerfully testify. There is a live lodge of the L 0. G. T. in this place ; and as a means of e: - tending our usefulness, we have open meetings, from time to time. One of these was held in the W. M. Church, in our burgh, on Friday', evening last, at which the.Dr. held forth, in a most con- vincing and eloquent manner. At the com- mencement of his address, the Dr. remarked, that the chief point- at which he should aim, would be the political aspect of the question; and though many persons might be alarmed at the idea of getting the question mixed up with politics, it a his opinion, that it must ulti- mately, cone Go that end, and the sooner the better. Am eigst several very happy illustra- tions introdie ed. was one, in which the speaker said, he had, on one occasion, visited the rolling mills in Torento. Of the operations going for- ward, while there, he noticed one, in which. a number of nien brought out a large quantity of iron heated, almost to fusion heat, and placing it in a certain position, waited the result of the operation. Presently a ponderous steam hammer, was brought to bear on the glowing mass ; which after und.ergoing a brief but effectual hammer ng, was pit& through certain processes, of rolling and shearing, or clipping, and appeared a eifect rail, fitted to assist in bearing, to and fro, the products the manufactures and the merchandise of the country, for the general comfort and be- ing. In the mass of glowing metal the Dr. dis- coved- Public Opinion, in the ponderous hammer he saw the Legislature; and he would have it thund r away at the crude unshapely mass, and force it into a form, that would be beneficial to the varied, interests of , the country. And he would have the incessant clang resound, un!;i1 a system elmuld be forged, that would neither cam- pel, nor permit, County or Township Coancils to grant licenses for dealing out maddening poisons. After the Dr. had taken his seat, amid thunlers of applause, the Rev. Mr. _Robinson, who ac- companied him from Seaforth, was called upon, for a few remarks, and without anything like a systematic address, he presented some very strong points, illustrative of the ruinous conse- quences, resulting from thew e o' alcoholic beve; . ages. He gave a promise, that in some future occasion, he would favor us with a prepared ad- Altogether;the meeting was highly satis- factory, as was evinced, by the unaninaous -vote of thanks, tendered the speakers, for their Yalu. able services. Long may the Dr. live, to exer- cise his fine mental, powers, and scientific know- ledge, in de practice of the healing art; to as- sist in curing. the body palitic, of the gangrene that gnaws, like an undying worm at the social physical, intellectual and moral vitals of our lovely and much loved Canada, - and seed may Rev. Mr. Robinson find time and opportunity, to favor Kinburn with his promised address; . R. Tule:mon'. March, 21st 1870. Stanley Council. The council met on the- 7th inst. All the members present.
