FARMERS have now • pretty much got through
with their spring work, and business is much

AN arbitration between the County of _Bruce„
and Paul Ross, gravel road contractor, on an

A GOOD MOVE,—Mr. drayman, has:
had ereeted a, splendid watering cart, for the pur-
pose of sprinkling the principal streets of the vil-
lage. We understanl that an arrangement has
been entered into between. Mr. Colliday andAhe
merchants, and other business men along Main
'Street, to keep that street free from dust during
the summer, for the sum of $12 per week. This
amount will amply repay Mr. C. for kis labour,
• and will effect a great saving, to say nothing of
the comfort, to the business men. We should
, think that a similar arrangeneent might be made
with the residents of other as prominent streets,
as the dust during the hot season must be very
annoying and. unpleasant to private families as
well as to, business establishments.
. WE learn with pleasure, from a Beacon, extra
of the 6th inst., that the Grand Trunk work-
shops, at present located in Toronto, are to be re -
mewed to Stratford, as soon as suitable buildings
can be creeted in that town. The cause of the
removal - is., we learn, the refusal, on the part of
the City.' Council. of Toronto, to grant the Com-
pany the necessary land upon which to erect ad-
ditional extensive, buildings, which have been
rendered necessary on account of the rapidly in-
creesing business of the Cempany. ft is estimat-
ed that the establishmet of these works in Strat-
ford will increase the population at least 2,000.
This is certainly a wind -fall to the County Town.
of Perth, and. we congratulate our neighbours on
thei?good fortune. We fancy the Torontonians
will yet live to regret the foolish course they have
pursued in this matter.

LEeruRts.-e-Mr. G. W. :Ross, G. W. PI of the
Sous of Tempnrance, delivered a -temperance lec-
ture in the Methodist Episcopal Church, in this
village, on the evening of Wednesday, the 1st
inst. The attendance was not large. -The Chair
was occupied by the Rev. Mr. Griffith, pastor of
the M. E. congregation, The lecture was one of
ths most able and logical temperance lectures to
which it ever has been our privilege to listen. Mr.
Ross proved himself to be thoroughly -master 'of
his subject, and prodn-ced unanswerable argu-
ments and a copious array of statistics, proving
that the liquor traffic was not only an injury to
society, but a great source of loss to the revenue
_
of the county. At the close,- a vote of tha,nks,
proposed by Dr. Campbell, and seconded by Mr.
Macdonald of Egmondville, was tendered the
lecturer for his able interesting, and instructive
lecture.
On the following evening Mr. Ross delivered
his elaborate lecture on Canada. The attendance
on this occasion was larger than on the previous
'14
evening, but still, not nearly so large as the ex-
cellency of the lecture deserVed. We can assure
those who failed to attend, that they missed a
treat rarely to be enjoyed. During the delivery
of his lecture, Mit Ross. was frequently inter-
rupted by rapturous applanse. The Chair was
occupied by Dr. Campbell, who, inipreseuting to
the lecturer the vote of thanks, setoke in high-
ly enlogistio terms of the lecture which hed
been given. -
WE learn that Mr. Ross delivered a lecture
under the auspices of the Ontario Division, Sons
of T-einperance, in Toronto, on Monday evening
last, before a large and highly delighted audience.

"Baron De Cmin," Again.-
In -order to show those of our readers whe took
umbrage at the remarks we felt called upon to
make anent this ndividual a few weeks ago, -that
Our remarks wer neither too severe nor uncalled
for, We give elow a few of the many extracts
from the Press pf the Province regarding him,
which have since come under our notice. If,
after tending these, and what we have already
given, those parties are still prepared to uphold
and justify the conduct of this dangerotts and un-
worthy man, then we must admit their case to be
h.-tieless, and they shall be allowed to remain in
quiet -possession of their opinions without further
interference on Our part. The following are the
extracts referredto
" That rank impostor the- "Baron de Camila"

Taceday and. Wednesday evenings the Baron de-
livered lectures, which were thinly attended;
the cause of which is explained by the Bruce 1.'e -
as follows :e•" It seems that. one of the cler-
gy of our village—and the longest resident among-
us—the Rev. Dr. Hodgskin.—had not given the
"Baron" his presence and patronage; and, as we
understand, declined taking qiny notice of him

ly exasperated. the speaker, and at its close he -at-
tributed it to the influence that the Rev. Geutlel
man referred to exerted against him. The "Bar-

:then- called Dr. Hodgskin a Puseyite, and a pig

" Letters from Stratford declare the "Baron"
to be a very dangeroid man; letters from South-.

the Chairman, expressed hie warni disapproval,
publicly,. at the "Baron's" misconduct. --Re-

he conies here anonymously and characterl;
seeking to make profit to himself by stirrineb up

On Friday last, as a lad about -twelve or thir-

son , of Wm. Snell, Esq, who resides about a
'quarter of a mile froni this place, was driving a
span of horses in a roller, he had the lime around
his neck, l and one end, hanging' down behind,
caught upon a nail in the roller, -which, while re-
volving, .drew the lad. over under the
breaking hie leg just below the knee. Fortunate-
ly a sister atilt) boy was passing by the place at
the time, and seeing the accident, called to the
horses to stop. Had the horses not immediately
obeyed the call, there is but little doubt that the
poor fellow would. have been killed. At last ac-
counts he was progressing favourably.

where he intends to practice his profession. We

IMPItoV EhIENTS. —Thos. Farrow, merchant, has

up an .addition to his house, also greatly enlarged
the inside of his shop, giving it the appearance of
a lirst class establishment.
-WOOL.-- Out merchants, and others, have got
the wool -mania, on the brain. One gentleman is
so effected that he has left his profession, and
gone into the highways, and. is trying to compel
the people ter sell him th wo(d. We hope the
change may be beneficial, and that he will be
amply remunerated for his 'services —Cox.

GRIST MILL.—ThOS. WilSoll has made exten-
sive repaire to his grist mill, in the eillage of
Lisadel, and has just added an extra run of stones,'
As Mr. Wilson is, probably, one of the best—if
not the best—miller in the county he has been

EXETER.
ANNIVERSARY. —The Wesleyan M ethodist .Sun -
day .Sclio61 Anniversary was held on Tuesday,
30th ult. At about 2 o'clock p. rn., the scholars
and officers of the school, nuMbering about 240,
assembled. at the very beautiful grove, a short
distance south of the bank of the aux-Sable. This
grove presents a very cheering and delightful ap-
pearance, and the weather was all that could be
desired. There advantages contributed much to
the pleasure of all. Some enjoyedthemeelves
swinging, others played at ball,- etc. Oapt. Hyiad-
man and the yolunteees were present, and drilled
for some time at a short distance from the grove.
About 6 o'clock the white citth was spreaci on
the green grase, and covered with the most de-
sirable food, and luxuries Of the season, when it
was encircled by those, who in a very skillful
manner, relieved it to a very great extent, of its
heady burden. Shortly after,. the assembly was
seen i wending its way to the chnich, for ft -Litho..
-entertainment. Mr. -Verity, superintendent,
was; aceordinglyt elected chairman, who, in his
opening address, impressed upon the minds of the
scholars, that these were their golden days, etc.
The choir, led by Mr. Vandeozen, and Miss.
M. Verity, who presided at the melodeon, sang
several excellent pieces, and the seholars, under
the tuition of MeaM.Eacrett. rendered recita-
- tions and dialogues in good style. The Rev. Mr.
Cookman was then called upon, whose remarks
were very appropriate, and the pupils might have
learned- useful,- and important, lessons from them.
After this Mr, G. Powell deliveredthe valedictory
address, the choir sang the national anthem with
fervor, and the meeting dispersed.
LECTURE.—In the Bible Christian Church, on
Tuesday 'evening last, Mr. G. W. Ross, 0.. W. P..
delivered one of his popular temperance lectures.
Certainly he justly merits the fame he has acquir-
ed. This lecture will very benificial and enter-
taining.. proving conclusively, that the use of ard'-
ent spirits produced fearful and dire effects, _both
to individuals and nations.
WEATHER.—The weather for the past few
weeks has been very warm, but the recent show-
ers have made all nature look fresh and green.
