DISTRICT MATTERS.
THE SALT STRIKE.
OVER 100 FEET'. OF SOLID -SALT., AND
STILL IN THE STRATUM.
THE GREATEST SALT DISCOVERY
IN NORTH AMERICA. •
The salt strike, in the-Seaforth well, is unpar-
ralleled on the North American Continent. At
the time of going to press, the tools -are working
in solid:salt, to a depth of over 100 feet, and no
signs of being nearly through the stratum. We
understand that it is the intention of the proprie-
tors to drill thronh it, if they can do so without
letting in the Indian Ocean. At each lift of the
sand pump,. over a bushel of beautiful, pure and
clear crystals of rock salt. is brought up. Phe.
material is being put upon the ground for the
boiling blocks, and we are lookmg forward to
the time when jSeaforth will be the great salt
centre of the world.

NEW POTATOES. -We have the pleasure of ac-
knowledging, with thanks, a present,in the
shape of a bag of Early Rose potatoes, of this
year's growth, from Mr. Wm. Hill, of this vil-
lage. They were -very fine specimens indeed,
some of them measuring -nine inches in circum-
ference.
•
ACCIDENT. -One day last week, a son of Mr.
Currie. of Haipurhey, aged about fifteen years,
while loading gravel, met with a severe accident
-the breakage of a leg -by the falling in of the
bank saf the pit. It was not known for some days
after, that hisIeg was broken, though he had, of
• course, been unable to stand. We are pleased to
learn that he is recovering.
• WE are pleased to know that a vigorous effort
is now.13eing but forth, by h number of our
leading citizens to procure a fire engine for this
• village. Certainly it is a good. reeve. It is re-
ally toe bad that any place conraming so much
property as Seaforth, should be so entirely void
of protection from fire; as it is. We hope that
every good citizen will give the thing a push, and
not act on any penny wise and pound foolish
principle.
• MASONIC FESTIVAL. -On Friday es -ening last,
it being the festival of St John the Baptist, the
brethren of Britannia Lodge; together with a
number of visitors, celebrated the occasion by a
social slipper, at Houghton's Hotel. The spread

tion Mr. Houghton has attained as a caterer at

in speech -making, song -singing and soeial con-

Destructrve Fire.
On Wednesday morning, last, about 2 o'clock,
as Dr. Coleman was returning home from profes-
sional business, and while near the railway sta-
tion, in this place, a person dressed in white
clothes -what appeared to him like a wornan's
night drese-rushed by near him, and called out
" tvlay the h-1 don't you shout fire !" The Doc-
tor, immediately, looked about him . and dis-
covered Thomas Stephenstgrain warehouse to be
on fire. He gave the alarm, and rushed to the
building, but had much difficulty in getting in -
side, as the doors were so securely fastened. He -
noticed, however, that a large flame was issuing
froma barrel that stood in the centre of the wire -
room, and before anything could be done the en-
tire property was in a blaze, which r continued. till
it -was totally destroyed, -notwithstanding the
strenuous alerts of, the immense crowd of citizens
that gathered at the ecene. A large quantity of
grain was in store, and Mr. Stephens estimates
his loss at $3,500. He was insured on the grain, •
in the Liverpool, London & Globe, for $2,500,
and on the building, • in the Pro-vincial, for
$300. That the conflagration was the result of
incendiarism, admits of no question, and in view
of all the circumstances, we conceive it to be
the duty of the authorities to make a searching
• investigation.
• GORRIE.
linoaa.--The following hotel keepers of the
village of Wroxeter were tried •before R. Leech,
J. P., and Jas. Perkins, Reeve, on the 22nd inst„
on the charge of selling liquor without license,
viz. : Wm. Johnston, John Gofton, and Jas. Mc
-
Dena The former case was adjourned till the
24th ult., the two latter were mulcted in the
stun of $20 each and costs.
R EMOYAL. -Rev. Mr. Tindalelia,s removed from
this. circuit, and is succeeded by the Rev. Mr.
McKenzie, who bears a oame for teing clever.
USBOItNE.
ItuniwAY Tnate-On the 24th nit, as Mrs.
Samuel Wilson and, her aim, a lad about eleven
or twelve years, were returning liarne from Exet-
er, by the 2nd con., they had a very narifow es-
cape of loosing their lives, by their young teabi
taking fright at a flag on the road side, and run-
ning off. • Mts. • Wilson , was thrown out, the
waggon wheels passing over her legs, and imme-
diately after, upsetting the waggon and throwing
the little bo4,- out with great force. 13y some
means the whiffletrees got loose from the waggon
and the horses got a fresh start, and off they
'went, the sroung teamster all the while hanging
on to the reins, but loosing his balance, he fell,
and was dragged a -considerable distafice before
letting go. The horses' were stopped by a neigh-
bour, before they tv-entfar. The -waggon and bar -
nese got a slight shock. The boy was really more
frightened than hurt, and Mrs. Wilson escaped
without any serious injury. It is to be hoped she
will 60011 recover from the heavy fall she got.
People shoulci be very carefill where they place
flags, and not to let them remain longer than is
really necessary.

PrKE HURONEXPOSITOR.
T. G. & 13. It -Engineer Robinson, and his
staff tif Surveyors, and men, have, already, pass:
ed this village, and are, now, as far as Wing -
ham. -They- report very -favorable of this line.
RUNAWAY.--Mx..Thyne and wife, met with
-a serious accident, on Friday afternoon, last
while taking a drive. The horse Was young
and- full Of- life, and the driver inexperienced,
rind incapable of managing the beast, and the
result was,that the horse ran away, and threw
them both out of 'the beggy. Mr. Thyne escap-
• ed miith a few bruises, about the head and face,
but Mrs. Thynne was more unfortunate, having
sustained -considerable irriury about the body.
However, we are happy to state, she is progress-
ing favourably. ••
. Caors.-Since the very copious rains; about
three weeks ago, the weather has been very hot
and dry, and the late crops are suffering consid-
erably, for want of more rain. • The meadows
in the Tp. of Turnberry, are very heavy, and
some of the farmers have already commenced to
ciit the clover. • The early spring grain, wheat,
barley and peas, looks splendid., and promise fair
to produce abundance.
WROXETER. • -
R B. Mame -A match is being arranged be-
tween the married and single members of the
Maitland Club, Wroxeter.
WEATHER' Era -We have had some intensely
hot weather of late, and rain is much needed. -
As a general thing the crops in this section look
very well, but on the low grounds they are begin-
ning to get very §ellow, still a good heavy shower
of rain would put them all right. Haying opera-
tions have commenced, and the cropis ,good. Fall
wheat; however, wilt be a poor .Crop, though we
have noticed some fields looking very well, but
such cases are few and far between. Peas, bar-
ley and oats look splendid, thougli they are be-
ginning to show the effects of the want of rain.
Potatoes look well.
RAILW,AY MATTERS. -The Toronto CO. have
haci men employed for some time, in running a
trial line from Arthur to Kincardine, and judg-
ing by the way in which they are pushing things,
they will soon be through. They were in the
neighbourhood of Wingham last Saturday. The
line passes north of Leechville, through the south
eisd of Wroxeter, crosses the gravel road at Mr.
Masgrove's faun, thenceporth to Bluevale, through
the blind line, and. then on to Winghatn. The
Engineer's say that the expense of building a rail-
way through _this proposed route, will be less
than expected, and less than the average cost of
construction.

when completed will be an orrianient to our al-
ready handsome village.

masonic supper was given bykthe -Free Masons of
this village, in Armstrona's hotel. Mine host'
catered in his usual splendid style, and the party
departed _about midnight, all highly pleased with
the nights entertainment. -
MILL MEETING. -At a meeting convened. at
Arinstroag's hotel, on the 27th day of June, to
consider the propriety and feasibility of raising a
subscription by way of Bonus, to -Mr. Sheriff, to
asdidt in 'building a grist mill, in this village, on
the site of the one lately destroyed by fire. John
Leckie- was wpornted Chairman, and R. Mc-
• Naughton Secretary. It was suggested by the
chairman, that Mr. Sheriff be heand on the mat-
ter. !He wet sent for, accordingly, and stated,
that, provided' that the farmers and others would
subscribe a beams of $1,000, he wouM guarantee
to have a mill running, eometime in the fall, of
the present year, with three run of stones. It
was then moved by W. G. Hingetone, seconded
by 11, Holliday That, in the . opinion of this
meeting, it is necessary to have another mill in
this village, and. that an effort be made to raise
the amount of bonus required, viz., $1,000.-Car'd.
Moved by Alex. Stewart, and secoded by James
Wright: Thst the following parties be appointed
a• committee to canvas for subscriptions : W. G.

W. G. Hingstone, seconded. by Thos. Kelley:
That the Secretary prepare subscription lists, to
be sent to the Committee, forthwith, and that
said committee meet with their returns at Arm-
strongs hotel, on the 9th day of July, at 7 o'clock

BERNE.
Mn. EDITOR. -DEAR—SIR- ,--Y011 Will remember
that in the course of your adventurous journey
to Berne, you had arrived. at Wagner's Corners.
Before pushing further. I would, here, assure you
that however much you may have been delighted.
with the trip, up to this point, a still greater
pleasurej awaits you, inasniuch as -the district
lakeward; is far superior, especially in scenery, to
the region you have just travelled. You have
crossed the desert, so to speak, and have reached,
merely, the borders of the promised land. With
renewed hope and energy, therefore, you remount
your eurride, and, after properly adjustitig your
editotial legs, and. bidding farewell to your kind
host and hostess, you startle your horse from bus
lethargy with the rousipg cry of "Westward ho !"
You see, before you, a high ridge of land that ob-
structs the view, and you- feel all the anxiety of
the discoverer to ascertain what wonders lie be-
yondea-So the valorous Balboa and his followers
were full of speculation, ere they gained the pin-
nacle of the mountain, from which they were to
behold. the, then, unknown waters of the vast Pa-
cific. Flurrying onward, •you, presently, reach
• the summit of the hill, an.d casting your glance
towards the setting sun, you exclaim, in delight-
ed surprise, "the lake ! the lake !" Yea 8ir,
yonder is the broad Lake Huron, and, surveying
it from this commanding elevation, with that
wide belt of level, fertile, land between you and.
the shore, as an appropriate foreground to the
picture, and the whole illumined. by the radiant
sun of summer, and green -Walled by the luxuri-
ant foliage of "the leafy month of June," you
must admit that it is a scene of svhich Canadians
may well be proud, and that it justifies the fervid
language of the bard :-
"We cannot bda,st of high green hills,
Of proud, bold, cliffs, where eagles gather,
Of rocky glens, and mountain rills
That echo to the red -belled heather ;
But a prouder, loftier, boast we make, -
The beauties of our own broad lake !"
But the scene before you is not deficient in
those features', that are pleasing to the man of
trade, or money, as well as the mere lover of the
beautiful. it is seldom, in the summer, that the
view of the lake is not enlivened by the passage
of sailing vessels, or steamers, engaged in the
coasting and through traffics: As many as 27
have been seen at one tine, a 'set which speaks
well for the commercial wealth and enterprise of
the land. The -soil, too, of this region is rich, and
the general tiipearanceOf the farms, crops, build-
ings etc,, betokens high degree of wealth and
comfort. The occupants of the fine farms on this
ridge, more eepecially, enjoy many great advan-
taaes. With a productive soil, -plenty of good
water, unrivalled views, and iefreshing breezes
from the lake in summer, a finer location could
not easily be found ; and. with it they should .be
well contented, for yerily, their lines have WW1
in pleasant places; But where will you find a
thorough13r contented farmer ? We had a con-
versation with one, some time. ago, and the long
list of grievances he complained of, would astound
i - Prominent among his troubles, were poor
crops and low prices for a number of years past,
and the heavy cost offencing, draining, and hired
labor. He concluded with the mournful declara-
tion that he wad hard up, though, at the sonic
time, we more than suspected, he had to mote
with extreme caution, least the silver in his pock-
ets, (bread buttons and shingle nails it was not,
we assure you,) should jingle forth a denial to his
words: 13ut his remarkable powers of criticism,
were more fully displayed. on the topic of the
'weather. Thinking to cheerhis drooping spirits,
we gently alluded to the favorable weather . of
this season, and our prospect of a bountiful har-
vest. This appeared to sting him like a gibe,
and we were fain to soothe him in the end, by agree-
ing that the future looked as black as ink, and
farmers were in a wietched plight. His Univers-
al criticisms, forcibly reminded us of a good
joke penetrated by the Rev. Sideny Smith, of
jovial memory, on Jeffrey, the famous critic,
of the,Edinburgh _Review. Bantering Jeffrey, at
a large dinner party, on his inordinate love of
criticism, Sidney declared that he overheard him
one day actually criticising the Solar System,
thus :--" Confound the SMar System ; planets
too distant ; light feeble '• ' seasons iercgular •un-
equal distribution of lleat ; could make a better
with ease !" But we are overlooking the Mecca of
your pilgrimage -the village of .Berne. You see
yonder the rural hamlet, which nestles at the
foot of the hill. That is. Berne ; and "thereby
hangs a tale" which would be too long for this
epistle, but which will appear in our next.

Hay Township School Examination.
To the Editor of the 1110'On Expositor..
DEAR Sin; --Seeing in your issue of to -day, an-
accomit of the Hay TOwnehip School Examina-
tion, held here on the 17th inst., my attention
was attracted by the peculiar tone in. which it
was related, and in justice to the teachers - and
pupils of the other sections, . (as the bright side of
Section No. 10 is. the only -dire shown to the pub-
lic,)
T will endeavour to explain the matter of
Mr. Clarkes cheat being so far 'ahead of all the
others. In the first place, Mr. Editor, he -j.
writer of your asteouot of the Examina-
tion --makes a statement concerning young Mr.
Moir, which contsins a manifest attempt tothrow
dust in the eyes of the priblic. He says "there
was-, in the morning, some trouble about a boy,
R. Moir, tvho had a certificate fromthe Co. Board,
and had taught school for a fewdays." Now
Mr. Editor, as this young ramheld a first class
certificate from the Co. Board, had taught school
fa some time, and was Well liked in the section,
do. you think it was •right to bring him to
compete and carry off the honor of the best schol-
ar, when he was to all inteats and purposes, a
qualified school teacher, fitted to compete With
teachers, not with pupils ? We leave you to
judge. But your correspondent only mentions
one young man who held a certificate. • This
young Mr. Sminarton, whom. he mentions, also
held. it 2nd class (Jo. Board certificate, and was
allowed to compete. 1 should think, Mr. Editor,
that these township examinations are to encour-
age pupils, and not to dampen their spirits, by
patting therreagainst teachers. And, 1 think, a
part of the object is to show what the teachers
have been doing. If this be the object theaathe
i
other schools n the Township received a great
injustice at the hands of Mr. Clarke, as these
nine scholars. have,been at school all their life-
timeIt fact, the teacher who was M Seotion
No. 10, said they were wasting theit time, going
to cOnlIriOn school, so 1 submit that this _does
not tend to show what Mr. Clarke has been do-
ing, I have little more to say, MnsEditor, only
• that justice is what all should have, and in the
cause of justice, I have taken .up may pen. The
bey, whose name -1.4 blank in your report; is Rich-
ard Hawkins, which, I hope, in justice to him,
youwill publish. Hoping-, Mr, Editor, that
you will give this a place in your next issue, I re-
. main,

titia" that he is altogether wrong, as to the writ-
er of the article in question. His initials are not

of Mr. Moir being allotted to compete, as a. rePte-
sentative scholar, our correspondent, certainly,
nevey ventured an opinion ; he merely stated
that "Mar Bonis and the Council- ruled. that he
should be allowed to compete, but not for a,prize,"
which "Joetitia" does not attempt to deny ; and
that Mr. Clarlee'i school did come off with the
first prize, With only nine scholars. is another
