This firm was established about two and a half years since, and with such success have their industry, and integrity been rewarded, that during the present season, they have made extensive addi- tions to their buildings, and considerably increas- ed their facilities for business. The establish- ment presents an imposing two-story front, of forty-eight feet, on main street, with an extsenie depth of eighty-five feet. A part of the building is two stories, the lowee‘:portion of which is ,em- ployed for show rooms, as is indicated by the words paintecl. over the windows. •The second flat is fitted up for painting and trimming shops Adjoining the show rooms; we areinforreed. by the lettering over the doors, tkat those are the work- shops. Immediatgly upon •entering, we notice • that we are in. the wood shop; this department is under the immediate direction of Mr. Morrison, who is a practical mechanic. To the rear of this is the blaeksmithing department, where Mr. Mc- Intosh, also a practical man, is found. Without dilating at any greater length, on this raatter, we • must say, that the enterprise of -Messrs. McIn- tosh & Morrison, well deserve a generous ac- knowledgement, in the way of liberal patronage, which, we may add, we believe can be awarded with mutual aivantage to the firm and the public. USBORNE. LIGHTNING AND PIGS..—A terrible thunder storm passed over this section of the•country last Sunday night. The lightning struck one of Mr. . R. Moir's out buildings and killed five pigs, and, in a similar manner, it killed n� less than twenty- • three Of the same animals for Mr. J. Parish. CROPS ETC.—The fall wheat in t1is neighbou 14 hood. is almost a total failure; most it has bei ploughed up, and the few fields that41 ave been left have scarceii-` the appearance of half 'a crop. It is *Ted, however, that the deficiency of the fall grain will be more than made up by the great abundance of the spring crops. The warm ma- sh* and regular showers, which have character- ized:this season up to the present, seem to indi- • cate that such will be the care. 5 DERATB.—On the 27th inst., in Mr. George • Hamilton's cheese foctory,. took place, the long - looked for debate, between the Cromarty and Lumley debating societies. The former belong- ing to the Township of Hibbert, the latter to Us - borne. There were present about 250 spectators. The Cromarty club gave the challenge about two • months ago, but the busy time and bad roads pre- vented the debate from taking place sooner. The subject was, "Resolved that Literature has beeu. more beneficial to mankind than Agriculture," the Gromarty society taking the affirmative, and, Lumley the negative. There were six debaters chosen from each society. ThelChairman select- • ed was Mr. J. Swan, of Hibbert. The debate be- gan shortly after 8 o'clock, and continued four hoUrs. The Chairman then stated that he had, and always had, a great prejudice on the side of literature, and went on to advance some of his own arguments, trying to show sorae of the bene- fits which it had conferred on mankind, and con- cluded by stating that if the debaters on the side of Literature had only advanced some of the argu- ments which he (the Chairman) had mentioned, he would certainly have given them the decision, but as they had failed to do so, he would refrain froni giving a decision in favor of either party. The greatest urgings for a decision of some kind, • caused him at last to pronouncethe sides "equal." He seemed altogether ignorant of the fact, that, according to the rules of all debating societies, equality of-argament is a victor for the negative side. The Queen's Birthday at Kinburn. There are many doings and excitements in every village that are of too frivolous a character for which to solicit a report in our well local jouruals, but am.orig these, I ain glad to say, the celebration, of our noble Queen's birthday, in our notorious village, does not come. It was a grand success, and reflects great credit on the people in this vicinity, who by their willing and ready con- tributions towards raising the requisite a.mountof • money for carrying out the different sports, gave great assistance, without which the affair would have been a faibire. • At day break, while night -ramblers and late risers were yet in the arms of morpheus, our loc- al guns (anvils) fired twenty-one rounds in quick succession, and with reports that were anything but pleasing to morning sleepers. . • Quite a number took part in the procession, and after marching through the village ancl going through with sundry metceuvers- for about an hour, the judges, Messrs. Thompson and John- aton, decided upon the first prize man, who, in this case'was a woman as far as dress was con- cerned; they thenretired and relieved themselves of their suits, which, in many cases, would add greatly to a ragman's load. During their !whole performance there was not a single act of Vulgar- ism perpetrated, which frequeutly occurs in many places. About 11 o'clock the sports -began, Messrs. Briton, A. Farnham, and D. Wilson, acting as THE -HURON _EXPOSITOit., judges, which they did very creditably, giving univerSal satisfaction. • As it would take' up too much space, T will not do more than give the prize list. Suffice to say that the athletic games, and the horse racing were such as would reflect credit upon much 1ar4- er places. The following is a list of the prize .men, etc.: - The best Kalathuthpian : J. Carter ; Hop, step and jump : lst prize, J. Dale, 2nd do.F. Lowrie; Standing,jump : lst prize, J. Fowler; Running jump: lst prize J. Fowler ; Putting stone: lst • prize j.MciCenzie ; Throwing sledge : 1st plize J. Dale; Wheel barrow race : let prizie Wm, Mc- Intosh ; Three legged. race : lst prize Wm. Mc- Intosh and Wm. Diamond; Men's foot race : ist prize J. Carter, 2nd do Wm. McIntosh; Boys' race over 14 and under 16 years : lst J. Willison, 2nd do A. Young; Boy's race under 14 year: 1st prize Willie Coldwel, 2nd do M. Morroison ; Climbing greased roll: lst prize C. Buckle. The trotting race was rather exciting and pretty • sharply contested for between the prize horses. The prizes in these cases were as follows : Trot, mg race : lst prize, SeEaston's brown horse, 2nd J. Gibson's marc,; Running race lst prize Dr. Mitchell's mare, 2nd J. Marrs mare : Scrub race: lst prize Thos. Stanley's horse. The balloon which:was to have ascended in the evening, accidentally caught fire while being in- flated, and thus censed a great clissapointment, but accidents will sometimes occur. We will try however, to prevent such an one again.—Cote. • BLUEVALE. DROWNED.—A little boy, aged 15 months, son of Mr. Peter Caution, was accidentally drowned in a well, on Sunday afternoon last. The parents had gone to church, and had left the ehild in charge of a little girl. • QUEEN'S 13tiriaDAY.--Her Majesty's birthday was celebrated here in grand style. The day it- self was all that could be desired. The canopy of the heavens was overshadowed with clouds, which hid the great luminary from our view, but tender- ed , the atmosphere neithef too hot nor too cold. No sooner had the dawn of day appeared than the cannon belehed forth a royal salute., which warn- ed our loyal citizens that it was time to be on the move, to prepare for -the reception of the tremen- douserowd which was shortly to line our streets. Precisely at 10 o'clock a• in, appeared Brien Bo- ric, King of the Kalathumpians, on his renowned • chaiger, heading his numerous aud well-equipped army, which paraded the principal streets and went through a series of mania:livers, much to the amu sem ent of the spectators, especially the young 'er, After the Kalathumpians had retired the other sports of the clay commenced—jumping, racing, wrestling, etc. A great inteny competi- tors, both local ancl from a distance; enteredthe lists. The games were keenly antested and con- tinued. till the evening, with the exception of a short recess at noon, to allow the spectators time to -Visit the pic-nic ground in order to satisfy the inner cravings of nature. On arriving there the scene which met our gaze was enchanting. The ground presented a most delightful appearance. The trees and shrubs were clothed in their most attracting foliage, and nature was greatly beauti- fied. by the largebeg- of handsome young ladies, who with beaming countenances, stood chatting in groups, or -wandered among the trees escorted by some gallant , ,young man, struck by the the shafts of cupid. Along the grass were spread • snow-white cloths, upon which were placed all the delicacies of the season, and the spectators were freely invited to 'partake "withou money and without price." The sports of the day were wound up by a grand social in the evening, which was greatly patronized by the young folks, Who tripped the light fantastic toe until the gray dawn itt the eastern sky told them it was time to skedaddle. AINLEYVILLE. rENIANs.—The news of the Fenian raid created no iparticular sensation in this neighbourhood, other than that of revenge and hatred. towards that lawless crewd of vagabonds, that appear to be determined periodically to 'disturb the quiet of this country, • BUSINESS. —Business is improving, and our mer- • chants have not such long faces as a few weeks ago. The seeding is pretty well got through with, and. it is to be hoped that a favourable summer will give the farmer a good reward for • his toil. it is no where more needed. PHOToGRAPH GALLERY. --Cur friend Stewart is again going to open a photograph gallery in our thriving village. .As he is building exp-resly for the purpose, • at considerable expense, it is likely to be permament, and it is hoped he may receive such patronage as will rewards hirct for his outlay and enterprise. •` QuEEte's BrantnA.Y--Fr1vE.2--The loyal inhabit- ants of Ainleyville, and surrounding country, celebrated her Majesty'sbirthday in a highly loyal manner. In the morning the clouds lowered, and we were threatened with a showery day, but in a few hours, old Sol showed himself, and the day turned out fine, though a little cold. Teams loaded with ladies and lasses, and the sturdy yeo- taanary of the country, dressed in their holiday attire, continued to pour their pleasure seeking crowds into our village, till about noon, when our town was crowded to overflowing. Horse racing and the usual games were gone through tc: the sa- tisfaction of all concerned. A Est of the success- ful competitors will be found. below. In the evening a splendid edisplay of fireworks was let off; on the market square. But, sad to relate, our villagers were woke up about one o'clock by the terror striking cry of fire," In a few minutes it was discovered that the steam grist mill of Sheriff & Neil, was on fire. On opening the doors the smoke and flames rolled out, rendering it iutterly impossible to save anything. In a short time the entire building, books, and every- thing else, were totally destroyed. The energies of the people present were employed chiefly, in preventing the flames from spreading to the •neighbouring buildings, as the fire had made such headway, that nothing could be done with- out an engine, to save the mil—and let us sug- gest here the propriety of the people of this place, where nearly all the buildings are of woad, having an engine and fireeompany. If some of the lead- ing business men and property owners, would take the initiative, and call a meeting, we are certain that they would meet with a hearty re- sponse, and money could easily be raised to pur- chase an engine and hose, and an active company would be formed. In a place like this, when a, fire occurs, we have seen, within the last two years, that pails of water are utterly unavailable in subduing the flames. Whereas a steady stream fromthe hose, would save hunclre Is, nay, thous- ands of dollars, in a few hours. By all means let us haie a meeting. Who will move in this mat- ter? Eveey villager is interested. The gentler men who have lost so heavily in the late fire, • have the sympathy of this village,, and surround- ing country, and we believe, if it was their inten- • tion to rebuild, that a very liberal subscription would be tendered. them.

Great Railway Meeting in Howiek. TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY PRESENT. A meeting of the electcirs of the Township of Howick, took place at Lisadel, on Tuesday, May 31st, 1870, at the hour of 2p. m. W. G. Walker was called to the chair, and. H. W. Hunt elected Secretary. The first resolution was moved by Thos. Gibson, seconded. by It. Leech : " That anything that is for the general interest of the Township shall be supported by all the voters of the Township." •• The mover -spoke of the great benefits to the Township, by having a railway in our midst, and a still greater benefit by having a second railroad, so that there may be an opposition, that freights may be brought clown to their lowest rates. Mr. Leech seconded the resolution, in a neat and.' convincing speech, of the benefits accruing from an increase of railwv • The second resolution was moved by Jas. Per- kins, seconded by John Evans: • "That in order that the greatest amount of railWaV facilities, may be attained for the Town- ship of Howick, we require the co-operation of the west portion of the Townshtp, to vote for the extension of time, to the W.• G. & B. R. R., -Which vote wifl be taken on thiaeutlia4btliieotfeiSsitninse." er spoke in of the Nar- .roNTvh-geaumgoev. ed the necessity of uftion, that we may get the good from any source that may appear. Col. 'Young, of Lakelet, gave us a few "reve- lations" that were damaging to the W. G. & B. R. R. • Mr. Robert made a telling speech. The third resolution was niched by -W. Wade, seconded by D. Wier : "That a railway running through, or near, the centre of the Township, will render a material benefit to the prosperity and wealth of this Town- ship." The seconder said. he had. great pleasure in seconding the resolution. He showed the neces- sity of securing the vote of the West, to secure the extension of time • to the W. G., & B. R. R. Also the East should vote for the Narrow-gange to secure its 'passage. The fourth resolution was moved by Thos. Wilson, seconded by Wm. Young : - "That in consideration of a general support of the west in the passing of the "W. G. &. B. R. R. • bonus, that the east portion of the Township do pledge themselves to suppoit the passing of a By- law to grant to the T. G.`& B. R. R. the sum of • thirty thousand dollars, •which By-law is not to be submitted to the ratepayers until the survey • is made'and stations located. Also in the event of the W. G. & B. R. R. legally failing to claim the bonus about to be voted, the T. G. & B. R. R. have the reversion of $10,000 of said bonus." This :resolution was supported by Dr. Worth- ington. WROXETER. MEETING.—The regular monthly meeting of the " Maitland" B. B. Club, Wroxeter, will be held in Gofton.'s Hall, on Monday evg., June 6. Officers and members are invited to attend. FIN E Sroirr. —Four gentlemen from Wroxeter went on a fishing excursion last week, to "Musk- rat Creek," near Tees -water. and I hear that they succeeded in capturing no less that 400 trout. ' A FINE PIECE OF ART.—Inglis' picture of the opening of the Montreal Skating Rink by Prince Arthur, may bee seen at the store of J. Inglis, Wroxeter, brother of the artist. , It is dedicated by permission, to his Royal Highness PrincelAr- thur, and as a specimen of the photogrphic art, it certainly stands princeps facile. A copy is to be sent to -Her Majesty the Queen. QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. —The birthday of Her Gracious Majesty was celebrated with great eclat by her loving subjects in and around Wroxeter. The committee' of management deserve great praise for their excellent arrangements, and for the successful manner in, which they were carried out One standing rule is, that any competitor in any of the games using profane obscene, or in- • temperate language, even though he should be 'Victor, shall not be entitled to a prize." This rule was strictly enforced, and the result was that there was a total absence of the profanity and in- decency of language that often characterise Je- casions of this kind. • Early in the morning the firing of a grand feu de joie, and a peal of our vil- lage bell, informed our villagers that another "24th" had dawned upon them. About nine o'- clock, trains of farmers' waggons and other con- veyances, with their precious freight of "fair wo- men ancl brave men," began to pour in until our • village was occupied:by a crowd of pleasure seekers, all bound to have a gala -day, and to enjoy them- selves to the utmost. The principal part of the crowd then repaired to the grounds where the games were to' take place. The, following is the. prize list : Standing jump : Rich'cl Morton 1st, William Moffatt 2nd ; Running hop. step, and. jump : W. Moffatt lst, Richd. Morton 2rid ; Three standing jumps .: R.

Morton 2nd; Race 75 yards, men over 50 years, special prize by A. Veal: 1st J. Sanderson. This concluded. the games, :led there was a slight lull in the sport till the clispl.by of firew.ords in the evening. These were exhibited under the superi,ntendance of Messrs. j. D. Vogt, Ralph Hodgeson, and Thos. Playford, and consisted of rockets of different sizes, coloured and plain, Roman candles do, Bengala lights, and Greek fire, variegated, large vertical wheels and coloured explosive mines. This closed the public amusements of the day, and. a great part of the crowd dispersed, though some remained "tipping the light fantastic toe" until a late hour, and a number went to hear the Blind Piper, Ferguson who gave an entertain- ment that evening. The "Maitland" B. B. Club played two or three lively games eln their grounds during the day. . West Wawanosh Council. The Cpuncil met this 9th clay of May pursuant to notice; as a Court of Revision ancl Appeal,—all the members present. W. Lot .14, Con. 6, and N. of E. 4 Lot 13, Con. 14. -were struck off the Non-Resideat Roll, and pliced on Resident Roll by request of owners. There being no appeals, and the roll having been examined by the Court, it was moved by Mr. Mcllwain, seconded by Mr. Stewart, That the Roll as now revised be adopted. • The members of the Court then organized for the transaction of other Municipal business. A cir- cular from the Coniniissioner of Agriculture and Public Works, respecting the employment of inr- migrants in the township, was placecl before the Council; It. was unanimously resolved, That though the supply of labour may be deficient at intervals, the probability of continuous employ- ment is not such as to justify the Council in mak- ing any statement to induce inemigrants to ex- pect more than fitful employment at busy seasons. The Council also resolved, That it was not in a proper position to answer the queries submitted by the Ontario Institute for the education of the deaf and dumb within the time limited. Also a circular from the Eye and Ear Dispensary, which was read and ordered to be fyled. A list of names of certain inhabitants of the village of Lucknow, asking aid. to construct sidewalks in said village, was exhibited by j. Somerville Esc'. Moved by M. Wilson seconded by Mr. That the sum of fift; dollars be appropriated to the making of side walks in Lucknow, payable -in Nov. next. -Carried. Moved by lir. McIlwain, seconded by Mr. Stewart, That Pound keepers, Fence view- ers, and. Pathraasters for the current year be now .-appointed—which was done. Moved by Mr. Mc- Ilwain, seconded by Mr. Gaunt, That orders be issued, forpayment of the Auditors for 1870,—$5 each—also an order for payment of the Assessor for 1870, $55. The Council then adjourned to the 20th day of June next. • JAS. SCOTT, Tp. BIRTHS.
