' The case being proven, the statutory fine of twenty dollars, , was imposed. • Tne cattle -fly pest has made its appearance in this vicinity. Quite a number of cows have been seriously afflicted with it. W. have, however, heard. of none dying from it, as yet. So far as we can learn, a mixture of tar and black oil, is usecl with every success, both, as a curative of watt -ads alrerdy inflicted, and. a preventative of future ones from the same cause: tis. • Tece contractor for building the addition to the Ainley ville schoel house, writes us that it is not especially intended for the present generation, and, there is every probability of its being elect- ed. in- time to answer all reqiiireneente. Our Ain- leyville reporter is one "in whom there is no gtule," therefore, we are sure he intended no harm in what he said. We apologise for him. ELSEWHERE Will be found. an advertisement of the "Dominion Churn." Mr. Tennent has it On exhibition at Knox's Hotel, iif this village. A few evenings since we saw the churn practically tested, and though incredible as it may al- most Appear*, good butter was broughtinthree min- utes. We would suggest to the fanning part of the community the advisability of taking a look at it. Acomeara.—On the 25th of August, a daughter or Mr. Redman, of Hay, aged 8 yeears, came to her death in the following rnelanehly- anner She was going out to the field. with some water to her father, and in jumping over a fence she light- ed on the edge of a scythe which ide acleep cut • in the sole of her foot near the h 1. TWO doet- ors were instantly sent for; but, before they or- ' rived the girl had bled to death. Cirearaz OF O'WNERS.—We are informed that Mr. James W. Elder, of Rodgerviile, has purch- ased from Mr. Geo. Anderson''of Stanley, the Short -horn cow "Bessie Bell,' by Mr. Wm. Miller, Pickering, gotten by "Young England," 509, dam, "Imported Rose, try "Baron of Kids - dale."

CRICKET.—To-morrow, Saturday, 3rd inst., a match will be plaged by the- Seaforth °kb, and eleven select men from the Listowel and West- moncton clubs, on the grounds of the former. -On, Saturday, 10th inst., the match between eleven[ old-country-men'and eleven Canadians, will be played on the Seaforth grounds. This game will be for a dinner. The Bgnionclville Brass Band will be in attendance, and seats will be provided' for the ladies. Otra worst fears, as expressed last week, re- garding the failure of the spring wheat crOp, in this County are to be more than realized, We hear of numerous fields that the proprietors •con- sider too worthless to harvest, and other farmers who have offered the crop, for the harvesting -ex- penses. There may be a few instances in which ten bushels per acre will be realized, but these are exceptional cases. In consideration, of the fact, that the greater part of the fall wheat was winter -killed, and consequently plowed up last spring, no considerable quantity of wheat can be for sale in this County, the coming season. FALL Vi HEST- SHOW.—Tuesday last, the fall wheat show, of N. H. Agricultkral Society took place, but was very poorly attended, owing pro- bably to the failure of fall wheat and the partial failure of spring wheat crops in this vicinity, but the fact that a great many of the farmers are very busy and have not yet threshed is perhaps the strongest reason of all, for their non-attendance. There were only three entries but thequality was very good, however. 1st. Canada Company's Prize of $30, R. Cole, 2nd Prize $5. J. Rye, and 3rd, for best Treadwell wheat, $5, James Mc- Michael. —Claor on.

Zapfe & Carter, proprietors of the Seaforth Fatmdry. The senior member of this firth' became connected with the establishment about fear years agot, when in company with Mr. McCallum he pur- chased it of Watson, of Ayr. Last Winter, how- ever, Mr. McCallum retired fromthe business and Mr. Zapfe associated with himself his present partner. Both are practical men, and under their direction the foundry promises to become a very important institution of the village This season they have been paybig particular attention to the manufacture of threshing machines, into which they have introduced all the modern im- provements. We understand, that one or two are already in use, and. that they are very highly spokeu of, by those using them. Messrs. Zapfe & Carter also manufacture various other kinds of implements, such as sawing mechins, gang plows, cultivators, straw cutters'etc. We he every confidence that their enterprise will be rewarded by an augmented prtronage. 'LILA is SALT ?."—This, next to " What's the war news?" is the expression of the tunes in Sea - forth. It is correctly answered as follows :—At the Coleman & Gouinlock well, a heavy, force of inen is censtantly -employed getting in the pans, and. making other preparations for actual salt - making; which it is expected will commence within a couple of weeks. The well has been oc- casionally pumped, and it now yields brine of 1000, or of saturation strength.—The Merchants' Salt Company have the derrick erected, and are now putting in the boiler and engine. It is ex- pected that they will be able to commence drill- ing in the course of a week or two. The other buildings are to be proceeded with forthwith. OELL VARY. —On the 23rd-ult.'Itezelciah Helps, Esq,, Reeve of East Wawanosh, (Ilea at his resi- dence, after a long and painful illness. Deceased was a gentleman possessing an extensive ac- quaintanceship and commanding universal re- spect. His manner was of that unobtrusive, yet sociable kind, that is so really admirable, yet so very seldom. found. Me. Helps had, by un- flagging industry, directed by intelligence, won considerable of what the world cab; wealth • but to all favoured with his acquaintance, it was very noticeable, --that he esteemed the inheritance' of eternal life of paraituount importance. He had filled; a number of resPonsible positions in _the vicinity in which he lived, and his neighbours have sufficient reason to mourn his deneise, AS a great loss to those whom it was evidently his de- sire to faithfully serve. His remains were fol - leveed to the grave, by one of the largest proces- sions ever seen in this part of the country. FAREWELL SUPPER. —It is with great general regret that the people of. Clinton have learned. that B. Mullins, Bsq, fel' the pad threwyears G. T. It. Station Master here, is about to remove to another portion • of the line, where it is satis- factory to know that Mr. Mullins will receive promotion in the shape of better pay ancl shorter home The universally expreosed opinion here, especially among the leading shippers of produce, cattle and goods, is that he has been the best Station Master we have ever had, that he impar- tially and obligingly discharged the onerous du- ties of his position to the satisfaction of all, the Railway included. Such being the general feel - lig a spontaneous movement was at Once made to got up a farewell demonstration of our warin feel- -ings by a complimentary supper, at the Commere cial Hotel, last night, of which we shall give a full account in our next issue. Although the no- tice was short, it was well attended. Mr. Mul- lins leaves at Once for Blantford, and ultimately Stratford, for the scene of his new duties, as train despatcher.--C/inton .New .Era. Kippen Reaping Match The Kippen Reaping Match was held. on Tues- day the 30th ult., on the farm of Mr. Wm. Blair, Stanley. The weather eves exceedingly fine, but the ram on the previous day rendered the ground, which was low, very soft and unsatisfactory to work on. The fielcl of oats inwhich the mchines were tested, was very difficult to cut, on actount of the grain. lying badly. The match was a com- plete success in every respect, there being six en- tries. There was a large number of tarmers pres- ent from ' the neighbouring townships; in fact the atten.d&-nce was much larger than was expect- ed. The following is THE PRTZE LIST. lst. D. M. Potter, Elora, 2nd. Verity & Ross, Francistown ; 3rd. Massey, Newcastle ; 4th. F. W. Glenn, Oshawa. REMARKS.

Weees.—In consequence of so much rein many farmers are still in the midst of the haryest. We had a very heavy rain here on Monday last.— Armstrong's stage is doing a good business. His driver "Will' is a good "whip, ' and a sober, polite and .accornmodoting fellow .—W. & J. Van - stone have just erected a large and commodious barn and store -room convenient to their mill.. GORRIE. THE Stair78 CRITICISMS.—Last week's Star, Wa- der the head of Wroxeter, ridicules the idea we expressed. in reference to the looa,tion of the Sta- tion of the T. G. & B. R. R. "Should the.route as now surveyed be accepted by the Board of Di- rectors," it says, "we -might staee with as much truth, that the stationwas to.be at Wroxeter." We cannot possibly see where the Star becomes so learned as to utter- seuntruthful a statement. Last spring several gentlemen who represented Wroxeter end the Narrow;Gauge, offered to ac- cept a station midway between the two villages The Gorrie representatives. for peace sake, ac- cepted those terms, by the former guaranteeing the support of the west of the Township, to the punting of an extension of time to the W. G. & B. R. R. And Gorrie is. still willing to act, as she always does, honorably; but if the other vil- lage backs from her engagement, then we will feel in duty bound to look after the interests of oil?' own village, which will place the station as far to the east as Gorrie, and that by a heavy ma- jolity of the ratepayers of Howick, Mneean-Y.--Co. No. 8 have been warned to meet at the drill shed on Sept. 12th; at 6 p. m., to proceed to G-oderich to perform the annual drill. WREMETER. .WEATHER.—Last night and. to -day (Monday), there have been heavy showers of rain, and itwill have a had effect on thelate grain, of which thele is still a considerable quantity in the fields. SHOW.—We notice that Lapham's Grand Mu- sical and ' Gymnastic Combination has, as A. Ward. says, "pitched its tent and unfurled its -banner to the gentle breeze," on our market square. A heavy gust of wind, however, which preceeded the shower to -day, left the "grand combination" tent in rather a forlorn` condition, not did the heavy Shower improve its appearance in the least. Whatever the performance may be, the "grand canopy" is certainly flat enough. CROPS.—We have deferred giving a statement . . . . of the condition of the drops m this vicinity, un- til We had procured some reliable data upon 'which to proceed.- There is - still' a great variety in the reports. especially withregard to the wheat crops; but we imagine this is to accounted. for, not so much by anything wrong in the reports themselves, as by the actual state of the crops. We ,have noticed several cases in which one farm- er would have a good crop in a field adjoining an- other in which the -same kind of grain would be a total failure e the cultivation andkind of soil be- ing apparently the seine in both ceses. A gen- tleman well acquainted with the state of the crops in the townships of Aforris and Turnberry, informs us that the wheat crop in these town - .,ships will at lesst be up to the average, and the 'same statement will, we believe, hold true with regard to Howick. Oats are, we believe, a larger crop. Peas about an an average. Potatoes so far OS the, yield is concerned, will be above the average, and though, as yet, we hear no com- plaints of the rot, it is almost too early,,to con- gratulate ourselves on having escaped the peat. Turnips have a very good appearauce. B4 IJGRAVE. 41R. EDITOR,—DEAR SIR.-- -Your valuable pa- per, (Tem Itaame Exxosescia), has at last fatind. it way into our midst. Heretofore, the,' name was all that we were familiar with, and even that, some never heard, but now to our entire satisfaction, we are presented with a beautifully compiled, and handsomely Printed sheet, which certaiuly is an ornament to Hue* eind a credit to the publisher. Now, Sir, that your paper has been introduced into thia section, it is highly necessary that the people of Huron shoul& know a little about Belgrave, its location, business- men, present condition and future prospects, and for this great end, I, like the Jamestown corres- pondent, have seized meynighty pen to relate the the foliowiug faces : Firstly, that BELGRAVE is beautifully situated on the Clinton and Wing - ham gravel road, 10 miles north of Clinton, 6 miles north of Blythe, and 5i south of Wingham. It is true our village is not very large, but still it is Much livelier than some country plaaea Our people are great readers, and sound thinkers. which a/mounts for the great gatherings - 'around the P. 0, -when the mails arrive, to learn the lat- est intelligence on the great European war ques- tion. We feel very indignant at the Montreal. Telegraph Company, cutting us so short ot wire, andtime will tell the sad mistake they made, by making Blythe instead of Bolgrave the terminus of thie northern lino. We are now in a flourish, ing condition, from the very fact that all arced°. ing well, both merchants and meehanice ; but we fear that the failure of the wheati. crop will be a slight dampering to our coining winter's trade, still we b eve prospects that the quantity and prices of other grains, stock, etc., I will in a great meas- ure make up for the wheat failure. DUENESS IlLAORSi Simon Armstrong. on the Morris side, keeps the Post Office'and is a general dealer in all kinds of merchandise. He is our oldest merch- ant, being six year in the place, Mr. Armstrong keeps a first class stock, of the best qualities of goods, and sells very reasonable. He is doing a good business. Those who are in want will do well by giving him a call, they will find him to be an obliging man, an honest dealer, and a good- hearted Irishman. D. McCarty comes next, on the Wawanosh side. He also keeps a well assorted stock of general goods, well suited for this place. Mr. McCartney has been one year here, is doing a good business, and is well deserving of a fair share of public patronage. - W. Allison, on the Morris side, is our black- smith. He is a fist class workman, getall the work he can pessibly do, 'which is a goodign. M G. G. Bell, on the orris side, is a gena ' car- penter an4d cabinet maker. Mr. Bell ceps a good stock of furniture, is a good trad.Ornan, and is cluriag a good bnsiness, , Mr. Morrison, on the Wawanosh side, keeps a very respectable hotel, has been about 21 years amongst us, is well liked at home, and by the travelling public. Mr. Morrison is an old hand at the 'busmess, having seived. 8 years in Clinton, 1Te keeps the best of everything both for man and beast, and is a very accommodating and obliging little fellow. A shoemaker is the only tradesman we lack in this place, and why there is not one is more than can be explained, for there is really not a better opening for one in the Province. There is not a shoemaker nearer than Wingham or Blythe. To any one who will venture to com.e here to try it, will be given a shop for three months free of rent, and if that will not satisfy, it is altogether pro- bable that the villagers wouId board him for the same time, Now. .Mr. Shoemaker, where are you --come on? . . CROPS. - Fall wheat has been a failure in this neighbor- hood, being nearly all winter killed.. What lit- tle is left -will not average more than 10 bushels per acre._ Spring wheat is.also a faikre, being badly blighted, supposed td be caused by the heavy rains in the early part of the season and the extreme scorching of the sun. There are several farmers here who have offered their wheat to any one who would harvest it and leave them the straw. However, the crops will average about 12 bushels per acre, many fields producing an excellent sample of grain. Oats arc a very fair crop, although years gone by have seen bet- ter; they will average about 30 bushels per acre. Peas are a very good crop, and will aver- age about 25 bushels per acre. Root crops are very fair, and promise a good yield. It is to be hoped that the weather -will keep drytill the po- tatoes are up as as there are some fears of them rotting. The weather has been very good for the last three weeks, which has enabled the farmers to get in neaelY all their harvest. It will be completed in a few days, STOCK. There is a good deal of stook raisecl in this neighborhood, en,dethefarmers would find it More profitable if they Were to devote more attention to this branch, and less to wheat raising. Fulton & Mooney, of Clinton, on the 25th of August, drove through this village a flock of 900 sheep, all of which looked very well; COUNCIL MEETINGS.
