Exouasmea-e-The citizens ot Goderich have determined to celebrate the approaching anniver- sary of Confederation Day in grand style. Over 200 prizes will be given for games of all kinds. 2,000 school children, with banners, headed by the 33rd Batt. Band, will parade the street's. The ehildren of the neighbouring school have been in- vited. The G. T. R, will run an excursion train that day, at one fare, for return tickets. Steamers will give shaft excursions nn the lake. C.arrea FAIR --The regular monthly cattle fair, held in this village on Tuesday last, was well patronized, and considering the flatness of the American markets, at the time, the sales were very good. From as close calculations as we can make we estimate the transactions at about 81,700. Milch cows, of whick there were\ about thirty offered and sold, brought from. $30 to $46.5O; they . were, as a Whole, film animals. In fat cattle the display was good. One cow was sold for $56, a heifei for $52, two steers for $67.- 50, and. four other cattle for $147.50. A number of horses were offered but we heard of no sales. The next fair will be 'held. on Tuesday, July 19th. CATFLE 'STEALING.—During the early part of this week, a couple of cows were stolen from a farmer living north of Wroxeter, ancl were. driv- en, by the thieves, to Carronbrook, where they were bought- by Mr. Kennedy, hotel keeper. After completing the purchase, from some sus- picious circunasta.nces, Mr. Kennedy began to entertain misgivings as to the proper owner of the cows. He therefore insisted. upon the men of whom he bought them, depositing the price: with another party, till they should identify themselves. Concluding that 'things were as- suming rather an unfavorable shape they left, and have not since been heard of. kr. Kenne- dy brought the cows to the Seaforth fair, think- ing that perhaps he relight succeed in healing of their owner, which he did at once, as a tele- gram had. been received here. in the meantime, to be on the lookout. Mr. Kennedy deserves =eh credit for the part he took in the matter. TUCKERSMITit., SCHOOL EXAMINATIoN.—A public examination, of the pupils of Section No. 1, in this Township, took place on Friday, 10th inst. The school roam, being decorated with evergreens, presented a Very beautiful appearance. There were present - a large number of spectators, among whom, we noticed several teachers from adjoining sections. Educationally, this school is rapidly advancing, under the skillful and energetic manageinerit of its present teacher, Mr. J. C. Tibb. The pupils answered the numerous, and varied questions propounded, in a manner highly creditable. They a thoroughness in all the branches on; whieh they were exa,mined, which is not to be. seen in the great majority of schools. The ex-. amination was brought to a close about 4 o'cloek, in order that preparations might be made for an exhibition in the evenina. About 8 o'clock the pupils began their recitations, consisting of about thirty select dialogues, which highly delighted a crowded house, for about two hours and a hall: Mr. Tibb deserves the greatest praise for the sac; cessof the whole entertainment, ancl we hope that his future labor, for the advancement of his section, will continue to receive that universal appreciation which they have in times past. AINLEYVILLE. RX.TENSION. —Messrs. Cardiff & Elliott have ex- tended their store several feet to the rear. Their. stock is large and well selected. AETERATIoN.—Messrs.

A GOOD MOVE.—A meeting is to be held to- morrow, to take into consideration the advisabili- ty of raising a subscription for the purpose of as- sisting Messrs, Sheriff & Neal to rebuild their mill.

OBITUARY. • -Art is long, though. time is fleeting; And our hearts though stout and brave, Still like rimffied drums are beating Funeral =relies to the grave. —LoNe FELLOW. As will be seen by referring to another cohunn, Mrs. Compbell, whose maiden name was Mary Mumio, has passed from earth away, after a long and severe illness, the -disease being cancer in the right breast,' The subject of this brief notice was born in Glasgow, Scotland, seventy years ago. When yet only three years of age she was taken to Generochy, Argyleshire, the home of her ancestors. ' Here she passed the happiest time of her life. . She learned the Celtic language and received Highland impressions which never. left her. When 13 years of age she came to Pais- ley. where she became a great admirer of, and constant at -tender on, the preaching of the Rev. Dr: Burns. At 19 years she entereca the married life, and in the spring of 1821, came to Canada, her husband taking up land. in the wild, inhospit- able regions of what was at that time known as Bathurst District, the Township being on the confines of civilization, and known as North Sher - brook. Here she lived for over thirty years and her children grew- up around her. Here, also; she buried her eldest daughter. Fifteen years ago, with her friends, she removed to the Town- ship of Usborne, where she has since resided, and where she successively consigned to the tomb her two remaining daughters and one of her sons, who all lie beside her to -day in Warrensville church -yard. The grim:tyrant shot his darts in- . to the family circle, but he had still a shining mark in view—he-drew his bow, the quiver pieec- ed a noble heart Seventeen months ago, Mrs. C. observed a small tumor which aroused her sus-. picions, but her son John, new Dr. Campbell, be- ing thea within a few months of graduating at McGill -University, Montreal„ she decided that she would tellno person about it till he came home, and that she would net write to him for fear of confusing him amidst his -studies. He ca -Me home-. He 'examined the tumor, which by this time had made considerable progress. He called a consultation, when two points were deeided : 1st -That it was a cancer ; 2nd. -That it had. pro- gressed too far for an operation to be of any bene- fit. She asked her son to tell her the whole truth in reference to the matter, stating that she was not afraid to die. tie told her that she had. to die of a painfulandincurable disease, but that all ethat medical skill could_ do would be done to smoothe the thorny path she had to travel. He performedhis promise. Many a stormy drive he had over the 17 miles ttiat lay between Seaforth and his mother's home. Four weeks ago, when to all a,ppearance she 'was "going ikome," to use her own _words, he gave up his .practice for two weeks, and! waited on her constantly. She rallied. He came back to Seaforth, but eight days before she died he received a telegaamathat his mother was dying; and. wished to see him, He returned to her bed-sid e and Stayed with her till "the silyer cord was loosed and the golden bowl was brok- ,en,"—till "the dust returned to the earth as it 'was, and the spirit to God who. gave it." She was a woman of fine natural abilities, large brain and marked originality of mind. She was polite, `yet dignified, affable, yet independent, self-deny- intt in her nature, philanthropic and kind -even to a fault. She taught her sons in early days, broad, liberal views on both political and religious sub- jects, and moreover', inculcated a highstandard of morals and an unimpeachable bode of honour. 'However, it was as an humble, clevoted.Christian she shone forth. Her belief in the divine truths of the Bible -was her stay and comfort in dark and gloomy times—it was this that gilded the edge of life's darkest cloud and kept' her horizon ever bright. Though dead she yet speaketh. She has passed away, but the principles she inculcated will live in the hearts of her sons, and in view of her: exemplary life and triumphant- death, we _ would say to all "Let nothing pass, for every hand Must find some work to do; Lose not a chance to waken love— Be firm; and just, and true ; So shall a light that cannot fade - Beam on thee from on high, And angel voices sayto thee, Those things shall never die." EXETER. COUNTY FAIR.—The people of Exeter and the surrounding country, have raised the sum of $60 to be given as prizes to the best brass bands that may play in-- thia village, at the County Show, which will take place this Fall. The first prize is $40, the second $20. The competition will be open to all the brass bands in the County of Huron. -' PRESENTATION. — Another presentation was made on Friday night last, the recipient of which was the Rev. W. Hooper, B. C. Minister. The chief manager was Mr. Wm. Sanders, to whose efforts its success may be ateributed. At about 9 o'clook p. m., soine eight persons assembledat the pas -tor' residence, and after a few remarks, they made known the object of their visit, which took the clerical gentleman by surprise. The fol - *tying presentation address was delivered by T. Curry, to which the Rev, Gentleman made a very appropriate response: I PRESENTATION ADDRESS.: the Rev. W. Hooper. Allow me, Sir, in behalf of the members of your church and congregation, to express the en- tire satisfaction exhibited by this community with respect to the due performance of your . . . =listened duties. During the last four years, wo have been both pleased and profited, while. listening to your warning and. instructive sermons, embodying in them the true principles of genuine christianity. We doubt not, that through your labors -mach good has been accomplished. _ We feel certain that your object in expoanding the unsearchable riches of Christ, was never to please the ear, without benefiting the heart, but hope you have accomplished both. Your impartiality to those of birth, rank, station or wealth—your never - deviating from the path of duty and honour, to please the fancy or whim of any --your fearless, undaunted courage and energy in discharging the duties incumbent upon you, as a minister of Christ ; these call forth our highest esteem. "Doubtless your efforts, to win souls to Christ, have been blessed by God, and the time of the conversion of a good number may be within the limits of these four memorable years, giving us ample reason to rejoice .and be glad, yet we may say, that even in the midst- of joy, there is sadneis—there is a poisou drop in man's pur- est cup;—while we look back with pleasure on the pleasant past. the thought of your d_eparture on the Morrow, steps in and chills that cherish- ed feeling; but the best of friends, alas! must part. And now, Sir, as you are about to leave us, we are satisfied of one thing, and so may you, that is: You leave us better than you found_ us,. and as long as we continue to advance in the proper course, we need not murmur or complain, but have reason to rejoice evermore, pray with- out ceasing, and in e-verything °give thanks. And Sir, in order to manifest our good feeling to- wards you, androur appreciation of your services, perraitus to present you this purse, beiag a slight token of our regard and esteem, hopingthat your labours, wherever you go, may be erottned. with. success: that your day of usefullnesii in pro- claiming the glad tidings, the good news, may Ion a continue and that your success and. pros , perity may exceed. your brightest anticipations. Ourpastor dear, farewell, farewell, Your labours now with pleasure view; For time, oh time, is hastening on, Whenyou must bid adieu 1 adiea ! ! USBORNE. DEBA.TING.—Pebatince is still going on, at the Lumley Club. The subject for next evening's de- bate is :I" Resolved thab. compulsory education would now be beneficial to Canada." Thi S Club has sent a challenge t� the Cromarty Chi)), for another debate, that they may have decided who are really the cleverest debaters. The subject is: "Resolved that War has causedmore misery than Intemperance." The Lumley Club have the af- firmative. Dr. McDonald, of Mount Pleasant, is chosen. as. chairman. - Aenswaresaute.—The Anniversary of the Kirk - ton Presbyterian Sunday School, was held on Monday, 30th inst., in Mr. Wiseman's Grove. There were a large number- of people present. Rev. Mr. Hamilton of Fuilarton and Rev. Mr. Gray cleliyeaecl addreSSes ; the friends of the School provided plenty of -eatables: and the S. 8. choir furnished music, and all went merry as a: marriage bell;" but in the evening, just as they. were about to disperse, a little accident checked their joy. A revolving swing, which had been doing its duty incessantly, all day, suddenly broke down, precipitating its load to the earth, in rather an unceremonious manner, and injuring several, though we are happy to say, not very se- riously. WROXETER. BUSINESS.—From the unusual stir in our vil- lage to -day, (Monday) we should judge it is a pretty lively'r day with our business men. CRAM:XT.—Active steps are being taken for the organization of a cricket dab, in Wroxeter. The only obstaele in the way, is the want of a proper ground, but even this difficulty may be overcome by a little perseverance on the part of the man- agma.. 'NARROW ESCAPE.—A young man, named Jas. Moodie, while working at a:barn-raising, on the farm of Adam Moray, Turnberry, was lenocked over by a pike,and fell a distance of twenty feet, -upon some planks, but, luckily, escaped with a sprained wrist. • BASE BALL MATCH.—The match between the Ainleyvile and -Wroxeter B. B. Clubs took place . on Saturday, the 18th inst., at the grounds of the Wroxeter Club.. The result was a complete vic- tory for the Aipleyvit e Club • The play commen- ced about 10:30, and the Ainleyville Club having gained the "titss, " took the field. The Wroxeter Club after making one score, were put out, Ain- leyville then taking the bat, and running up a score of 29, their first innings. The total sabre on each side for the next four innings, - (two in- nings of the Ainleyville and two Wroxeter), only reachedtwo on each side. The Ainlerlille • Club then played a number of long innings Wroxeter making scarcely a score, till the end of the game, when the umpire announced that the Ainleyville Clulahad gained by a scors of 90. to 7.. We hope this result will be the means of improving Wrox- eter Club, for there appears to be great need of it. Let them commence a regular; systematic practice, and. commence at Once.. A great many of the members of the Club are to blame in this respect, as it is.almostimpossible to get them into the,field, • for practice, the effect of which was shown, last Saturday; in the =libel. of "poor catches," ".wild throws," and " foul tips. The return match will come off before a great while, and though we could scarcely expect a young club, like Wroxeter to gain a victory over an establish: ed club like Ainleyville, still we would. advise them to play a closer:game if possible. We un- derstand that severalneighbouringclubs intend challenging Wroxeter, and we hope the opportu- nity thus afforded them -of gaining their position will not be lost on,our Club. ZURICH. TOWNSHIP EXAMINATION.—.The public exami- nation of the schools in the Township of Hay, was held -in the Town Hall, in this village, on Friday laaf (17th. inst.). The Council had granted $50, to get prizes, and these were divided into different lots, each lot containing ten prizes, being the number of pupils from each _school that were al- lowed_ to compete. The school whose pupils had. the highest number of marks received the best lot of books, the school with the next highest number got Alio next lot, etc. Besides these, were four special prizes, given to the four best pupils. Seven Schools were represented, and the Town Hall, which had been fitted up.with tem- porary desks, was pretty well filled with scholars. The remaining space was fillecl almost the whole day by spectators ---"the beautie and the. chival- rie" of Zurich and elsewhere. The examina- tion began before ten o'clock in the morning, and :it was about nine in the evening before all was over, and the hall closed. MreBonis, L. S., had prepared the questions on the different subjects, and three teacheia, Messrs. Geo. Moir, R. Fowlie, and W. S. Gracey, from the Township of Us - borne, and Mr. Proudie, from Stephen, were the examiners of the papers put in by the pupils. There was, in the morning, some trouble about a boy, R. Moir,whohad a certificate from the Co. Board, and. had taught a few days. His teacher, Mr. Clarke, said he was a scholar and should be allowed to compete for a prize; the other teach- ers contended that he was a teacher and should. not be allowed to compete,—however, the Coun- cil and Mr. Bonis /ailed that he should be allow- ed to compete, but not for a prize. He, of course. was the best scholar, getting about one third more marks than any other. The first special prize was awarded to Benjamin SWinarton. a pu- V1 in Section No. 10 ; Richd. , of Section o. - 2, received the second; Jno. Ingrahm, of Section No. 10, the third ; Jno. Troyer,- of Seetion No. 7, the fourth. The highest number :of marks, and the first lot of books, were wOn by the pupils of Section No. 10, ;taught by Mr. Clarke, although there were only nine scholars whose marks were counted, R. Moir having beeu excluded fro. a the competition. The school in No. '2, taaigh- by Mr R. Ea,crett, received the second. lot ; -rest in No. 3, taught by Jas. Must- ard, the third lot ; that in No, 7, the 4th lot ; No. 8, the 5th lot. ; No. 5, the 6th lot ; and No. 4, the 7th lot. in one of the hotels the Council had provided a•fi ae dinner and supper for the examin- ers, to comfort the inner man. The tedious hours were also enlivened by music, exebuted at intervals by the pupils of the different schools. After the distribution of prizes, and cheers for the domicil, Examiners, Mr. Bonis, and the Queen, the end came. We think that from such competitions, there is derived- a great deal of both pleasure and profit; though we heard. one of the examiners say, that very little of either, he thought, fell to their share.
