Fare- well. —CHESS EDITOR ' ON Friday laat a team, belonaing to a prorai- neii t farmer of McKillop, took i t into their heads to run away, and. acted up to the notion, by starting from near Down( y's corner, and making for the railway station. .They kept the middle of thc stieet very nicely, until zetting opposite Martin's jabbing shop, when, it being so reuddy, they took to the sidewalk; but by this means the waggon came in contact with some posts, and their pn- ward course was effectually checked. As there was a long timber train cressing the street at this time, • it was a fortunate' circumstance that they were stopped before getting to the railway, or the cen- sequences might have been serious. TEMPERACEMEETING. —The temperance m. eet- ing, held in: the Good Templars' Hall upon the. evening of TuesdaY, the 12th inst, was well at- tended. The Chair was takenby dr. John Gray; who, after a few remarks., introduced -Mr. P. Mc- Donald to the audience. Mr. McDonald gave an able and lengthy speech, and was listened to with great attention. Mr: D. Moran next gave a reci- tation in good style. The Chairman then called upon Dr. Campbell of f..;eaferth to come forward. The Doetor spoke in his usnal manner, and got a good reception. The Chairman again made a short address, after which votes of thanks were passed to the speakers and the chairman, and the large and enthusiastic -audience dispersed. • 2_ D EIVIA Min C.

The manner of her death Was re - makable. She would not allow any one to sit up with her. and. although her 'friends had no hopes of h sr recovery, they never conceived her dePar tare s near at hand; hence their humoring her in this notion. Her mother retired at about 11 p. m. Between 3 and 4 the.next morning she was alarmed on hearing her daughter: the deeeased, shouting in the hall, "Mother. I am dying."

Silow.--•One of Airileysille's " days," was Tuesday last, being the pccasion of the Grey Brawls Agricultural Soeiety's Spring Show, Not- withstanding the very bad state...of the roads, some five or six itundred of the yeomanry of the surrounding country favored the village with their presence. The show was very creditable indeed, and a_ marked improvement on that of last year, was. noticeable. In stallions. therewere nine entries. En bulls, four.

TY3BORNE. - FeRiTr re --Notwithstanding the very gradual, thaw, tile r;ver 5IfishigIier at present. than it has been for a minaber of years. Considerelde damage is b„ing dole.; to some of the bridges. which eross it,. and many farmers, along its banks are mourning over the loss of the numerous rai s, which have lately left them, en route for Lake Huron. DEBAT.E.--A very interesting debate took place in the Scheol House, in the village of Lumley, last Tuesday evening • The question ,boing— Resolved, That, Free Trade would be more bene- ficial to Canada than Protection." After a warm disputation, of about two hours and a half. the Chairman. , Mr. John Fyfe. gave the decision in favor of the negative. When the debate was closed, it was derided that there should be a "conscien- tious" discussion of the matter, after which a general vote should be taken, itt order that the great number of farmers, andothers present. might have an opportunity of expressing their epunons, on this very impoi tent subject. At the end of this diSCUSS10/1, the vote was almost unani- mous favor of "Free Trade." EDucATIONAL.—An examination of the School, in Section No. 2, took plape on Friday, lst inst. This school, taught by Mr. Wm. Gracey, is one of the insist advanced in the township. There were, present, a largenunsber of spectators; among whom were the Rev. Mr. Gracey, and a number 6f teachers, from adjoining sections. Though the pupils gave evidence of being well trained, in every subect on which they were examined, their preficiency in mathematics, was most noticeable, as some cf the boys showed a thorough under- standing of the first six books of .Euclid. In grammar, they cx.hibited a clear knowledgeof the fundamental principles, by applying them correct- ly, to the most difficult analysis. The class, in British History, was examined, on the whole of that period,' extending from the invasion of Julius Caesar to the rign of Geore e III; and the readiness, ot almost every ans.wer, showed how thoroughly they have been .drilled, on every part of this ex- tensive field. At the close of the examination, a niunber of the gentlemen present, in shot ad- dresses, expressed their entire satisfaction with everything they had seen and heard, during the day. We hope that Mr. Gracey's la- bors, for the educational advancement of this 2 ection9 in the future, will be crowned with that success, which has marked them in times past: 0 WINGHAM WE have lately had some fine spring weather, and the farmers are beginning to leave off sugar making, and a. tend to their plow. Mu. GEO. WARREN has removed his large stock of :Dry 1400ds and Groceries to Mr. Scott's more commodious premises. o2posite T. G. Jackson's 1)lag Store. and having also increased his stock, he II:la greaser facilities than ever for giving his num trials cuss o m cis every satisfa ction. BusioEssitt g,eneral, is not very brisk. Busi- ness Men ma‘' be s. en standing in small groups in front of their seops, talking about the flood, or discussing the merits or demerits of the differens boats, as they glide along. All the mills are closed, on account of backwater, and the majority of the mill hands are enjoying a few gala -days. THE river here is free from ice. and the long - expected flood, in allyrobability, will pass away without doing any serous damage. The prairies are inundated by the river to .the depth of from iou s to five 1 eet, and famish to our numerous boat Crews a healthy and invigorating pastime. Every morning and evening parties may be seen wending their way to the place where the boats are moored, and mingled sounds of mirth and jolity are wafted across the waters, making the bright air really brighter. JAMESTOWN BusmEss has not been so brisk as usually dur- ing the past week,- on account of the roads; which are almost impassable at present. but the merch- ants are daily recovering, and opening out large cargoes of spring importa, and making the neees- sa,ry preparations for the "good times coming." AN AI9T3WER.--ill answer to year Ainleyville correspondemt's enquiry, respecting Jamestown, 1 take great pleasure in describ ng to liiin the rela. tive pesition *of this village. Its mathematical pesition is between parallels 43 and 44 north lati- tude, and 83 and 80 west longitude, in the north temperate zone. Politically, the inhabitants of Jamestown are the antipodes..to those living in: the town of Valezi, la New South Wales, Also, in cenclusion, I will sioste that the inhabitants, Ind business men in general, of Ainleyville, may rind to their sorrowful chagrin, before many- menths,. where Jamestown is sitilated l—Coss. flairaioaps.—The contagious malady of a nar- row gauge railways, appears to be raging at a fever heat in the Townships of Grey and. Morris Those.living towards the north, are strongly itt. favor of granting handsome bonuses tothe liar - row gauge whereas, those about Ainlyville, and to the south of that Place, are opposed to giving any bonuses whatever. The only assignable rea- son f a. this . oeposition is, they are becoming a'armed that the railway will annihilate Ainlev- ville, and its commerce will be extermiliated for ever, if there should be a station at Jamestown,. which, e no doubt, there will. The railway in question is to extend from Arthur to Kincardine, by the following route, viz: First, from Arthur to Listowel , which is almost due west; 2nd, from, Listowel to darneStown. running - through the Township of Wallace and Grey; 3rd, from James- town to Kincardine, passing through Upper Wing - ham, w 'jail will be north-west of Jamestowsn, and at an angle from the base of the main line. Arthur, Listowel, and Jamestown,) of 92' 22'. The nrist of the townships have sent in state- ments of the amonnt of bonuses they will be wil- ling to give, and those statereents are now under the consideration of the board of Directors at Toronto.—Coat. WROXETER. DIVISION COURT.—The Division Court, held its sittings- in Gofton's Hall, on Wednesday and Thursday, the 6th and 7th inst. A large number of cases were disposed of. INsA N ITY. —Albert Craig, a marriecl man, re- siding in the Township of Howick, wasscommitted to gaol, last week on the above plea. His mind his been unsettled for some time. BOP. BALL —Is it not high, time that -some steps. were being taken for thu formation of a B. B. Club in Woxeter The lovers ofthis game should see to-. it at once, and call a meeting. FALL 'WHEAT. —A great many of the farmers' in this vicinity, are -complaining, that the heavy snow has smethered the fall wheat, and some are afraid it is past recovery.. Others think, that a shower of rain would have the effect of staring .the growth, It is to be hoped that such will 1.)4'e the case, but it certainly has a very bad appear- ance now. • BUSINE6S CHANGES. --Mr. Thomas Playford, has left the Commercial Hotel, and, we understand is going to live on his farm. The proprietor, Mr. Wm. Johnston, will conduct the business in future. Mr. Spencer, watchmaker, has removed to Teeswater, and Mr. Edward Black, has opened business in the same stand, one door south of Knuteson's Taikirine .establishmeet. ACCIDENTS.—Mr. Parker, blacksmith, of this village, had his side bretty badly hurt a hile en- gaged in shoeing a horse. He was laid ep for sonie time, but we are happy to state, that he is now in a fair way of recovery. Mr. Wilson Blair, a young. man, residing in the 1st concession of Howick, had his foot. badly cut by an axe, while engaged in -chopping wood. A feaa ful gash was inflicted on the instep of his foot, severing the arteries, and causing.a great loss of blood. When Dr. Smale arrived, the poorfellow., was so weak as to be unable -to speak, and had medical assist- ance been delayed, for even a very short time longer, the consequences would have been fatal: He is. however. gradually. recovering. . EXETER. The Stephen 'Spring Show will be held. on Wed- nesday next, -at Exeter. • WEATIEER.—During the past week, the weather has been ea' remely• favorable, each clay being; if pasiible, i t re beautiful than the last. Th f roads are now dr . and excellent, everything appears to indicate a -eleasant spring. 13uILDIN';8.—Mr. George Pedlar, has erected a large addiuon to his .M.elodeon Factory, which when tinielied, will add much to the appearance of his es tablishmene. Mr Richard Sanders is en- gaged* building a very commodious and excel- lent dwellings house, having sold his former house and lot to Mr. Chas. Senoir. Thisis the age of advancement and improvement. - StroAR SOCIAL.—An interesting social in con- . vas held y night, red and o'clock; and in addition to the Asual fare, upon these occa- sions, there was a largA.supply of sOgar, or rather taffee," Upon which the company satisfied. their luscious appetites, thinking, it was the "iiweetest" social they ce er enjos.red. After which., Mr. John Gray, of Egraondville, addressed them, choosing for his subject, " The rise, progress. and develop - m sut of Methodism." His speech, was certainly both edifying and eloquent; showing the rapid progress which Metbodism has made, since its -commencement, and the great good accomplished. by its ta ented, zealous and everworking mem- bers and ininistere, who always keep in view, those qualities which so much distinguished their founder, John Wesley, a man of untiring perse- verance and zeal, in the noble work in which he was engaged, and which have secured for him a deathless name. When Mr. Gray resumed his seat, the Rev. Mr. Edwards, Chairman, called on the Rev. Mr. Gracy, who made a few very in- structive and appropriate remarks, on the distin- guishing qualities of George Whitefield and John Wesley; after which, the audience tendered their hearty thanks to the speakers, for their services, during the evening, and also, to Mr. and Mrs. McConnell, for supplying al' theprovisions, sugar, etc. They then dispersed, being under the im- pression, that it wlas botha "sweet" and profitable social. motion with the Wesleyan Methodists, in their Church, in this village, on Frid last. There were present, about one hun' eighty persons. Tea was served at 8.3 GREY. DEsni LICTIVE FIRE. --On Saturday last, the Oth inst. ; a fire broke out in the Steam Saw -mill end Shingle Factory, geneially known as Harward Mills, the property of Memos. Smith & Bros The fire was first noticed about 8 o'clock, in the even- ing, about one hour after the employees of the establishment had quit work for the day, and so rapidly did the flames spread, that it was impos- sible to save anything. This is the most destruc- tive -fire that has ever occurred in this loc ' The property burnt was a splendid establishment. three stories high, and literally crammed with machinery. The building contained at the time, some fifteen or sixteen circular saws, a drag saw, two plaining machines, a lath machine, bolt- sut- ter, boring atid mortising machine, three extra, large setts of c' rpenters tools, and other machines and tools, too numerous to mention, besides vast quantities of dressed stuffs for doors, window sashes, &c. The; e was no insurance. The tote,: , los, cannot be less than $7,000! The destruc- tion (e'' this line establishment will be much felt, by the whole community, and the Smith .Brothers, have the heart -felt sympaehy of all who know them. They have always been characterised by their uprightness and fair dealing, and from what we have seen of their industry and enterprise. we confidently expect to see them soon again in the same flourishing circumstances, in which they were last Saturday morning, before the destruc- tive element swept away, no it few -minutes, the fruits of many years. hard labor. .
