WAIFS.—We have had. some glorious weather,.
of late ; a nice cleat sky and just cool enough to
be pleasant. Farmers are beginning to find that
on threshing,the crops are turuing out Worse than
was expected. Speing wheat is almost a failure.

THE HURON EXPOSI
epproached their destination, the sight of an im-
mew table, loaded to its utmost capacity, with
aU the delicacies of the season, meets • their. as-
lisbed eye. By this time, numerous strangere
from I a distance, have arrived, and. are eagerly
watching the manceuvres Of this mighty throng.
Th.e members of the choir, alrea.dy famed for their
musical talents, and now emboldened with unlim-
ited confidence in their gisllant leader, assemble
themseltres upon. an elevated platform, and. fpr
moment the vast concourse listen with undi-
vided- attention and intense delight, to the first
of a _series of harraoniousstrains peculiarly adapt-
ed to the occagion. The table is then instantly
surrounded, and the mertiless knives of the

platform, Whee e !Mr. Hugh McQuarrie, as chair-
man, first =called upon the Rev. Mr. Young,. of
Iffinchestereto address tl* vast host. This gen-
Itleman very ably occupied this position for some
time and. was listened to with much interest and
attention. The Rev. Mr. Ferguson, of Ainley-
ville, was next called upon, and respond.ecl by a
briefbut very Appropriate address, chiefly to
the Teaehers of the S. School. Tbe chairman
then- called upon Rev. Mr. McLean, of this vil-
lage, bet' he not considering it prudent to detain
the people any longer, very wisely declined, and
closed the addresses bei' the relation of a highly
amusing anecdote, which caused both old and
young to leave their seats, with a general expres-
sion of laughter in their countenances. . At M-
tervals; during the regular routine of the day,
the attention of the whole assembly was com-
pletely absorbed by select pieces from the choir,
who, doubtless, would. have been quite unable to
contain themselves, had they heard but half the
latidatory `ejaculations uttered from time to time,
by many a delighted listener. whose Whole soul
seemed to be swept away by the .strarige ancl.
mysterious power of Music. Amusements of all
kinds were now engaged, in; and enjoyed to their
fullest -extent bir all parties. A sufficient num-
ber of excellent sevings .were I ept in constant vi-
braeion, until the sun had sunk beneath the west-
ern sky, and only the sensation Of exhaustion and
fatigue, at last compelled. them to return to thew
homes; with the full conviction in every heart, of
the blithe times they had at the Blythe pic-uic.
•SOMETHING YIANDSOME.--The Secretary of the
S. H.*Ag. Society, has just informed us that Mr:
Oliver Wilson, the actie-e agent for the New-
castle Agricultural Works, has Made an offer, on
behalf of Mr. Massey, proprietor of the said
works, of a Reaping machine, valued at $130.00,
toethe S. H. Ag. Society, to be awarded as a first
prize, to thebest ploughman at the Society's
ploughing Match, ;that? Fall. Such liberality
needs no comment—it speaks for itself. Wehope
to seethe example, thug set, extensively followed:

Grieve, son of ,Mr. Thos. G-rieve, was leadang

tread upon the heal of en -axe, which e:aused the
edge to burn up and cut Inra on the nee, severing

COMPLIMENTARY_ S CPP ER. —011 onday last
some twenty of the friends of M. Ls. Hunter,
Royal Canadian Bank teller,in thi, acewho is
about removing elsewhere, entertemed him to a
farewell supper at Knox's Hotel: The chair was •
occupied by M. P. Hayes, Esq. In proposing the
toast of the evening,' the Chairman passed some
highly eulogistic remarks on Mr. Hunter, both,
for his apt and strict business habits, and. his
amiable and aleaeing eharaeter. Mr Hunter re-
sponded in a feeling manner, expressing his re-
gret at leaving Seaforth, and proinising a happy
recollection of it. Altogether, the evening WaS
pleasantly spent, and at a conaparatiVe early hour
the friends dispersed.

A DAY AT THE CAMP.
.A. day at the Maltlend Camp, 'means some-
thing : too touch, in. fact, to express in the brief
spaee at our disposal.:, Therefore, we shall dm
-
tent ourselves, and we hope the majority of our
readers by making a eursory sketch of what we
saw on 'this occasion, and how we saw it.
THE- LOcATioN, 4
The Maitland Flats, or that part to "which
we allude, is situated on the east side- of- that
noble river, with Goderich oppotite. It is on.e of
these places that it would be difficult to improve
upon, for the purpose to which it is now devoted.
The camp, as viewed from the Goderich side of.
tile river, presents a picturesque ebene. The
vailey, beyond and beneath, is white with 105
ttehnettraeedsoer.ned with British bunting flaunting in
THE COMPOSITION OF THE CAMP.
The camp is made up of sixcompaniee from the
Bruce Battalion, and eight from the Huron •Bat-
talion. These contain 18 officars and 325'men,
and 24 officers and 417 men; respectively, and
ogether, 16 staff-officere, making a total of 800.
THE TIME, AND HOW IT'S SPENT;
Who says the eight days' volunteer drill is
"playing at soldiers ?" Let him spend "a day
at the 'camp," and he will know that he has been
extensively deluded For the benefit of this
class, if their be any, we give the daily program-
me: From 6 to 8, a. m., company drill ; Break-
fast; 10 to 12, Officers' Parade ; Officert' Lunch,
Soldiers' Dinner ; 2 to 4 P, m., Light Infantry
Drill, at 6 p. in: the Officers' dine. The Mait.
land camp is etruly British in this particular.
Having -had the honor Of being a guest at Officers'
Mess, we bespeak of what we know. Then be-
sides the above, two companies, each day, engage
in target practice. The remainder of the time,
till 8:30 p. in., when lights are ordered. out, is
spent in various _ways, as each may elect for him-
self. Atregular intervals the Battalion Bands
play, and; by the way, . without disparaging the
Bruce Band, we must do the Huron the justice
,of saying, with all the listeners, that it would do
no discredit to Regulars.

Pic-Nic.--The long -looked -for pie-nic in S. S.
No. 9;- Morris, for the benefit of the children of
that Sectiou, with ,an invitation to the neighbor-
ing tschools, came off on the 14th inst, on Prds-
pect Hill, which is au deviation on the front part
of Mr. P. Clennan's farm, con 8, lot 21, Morris.
This was the first pic-nie in this section, so the
excitement created in the minds of the little ones,
who looked forward with • such anxiety to the
great 14th, can be well imagined. The morning
smiled with delight, while the warbling notes of
the forestasong,ster, :called the sleeping ones from
their beds of rest. Children might be seen at an
early hour scaling the on the summit. of
which, the -hands of the older ones were busy at
L. work constructing 'tables; seats, platforms, etc.
Between the hours of 10 end 12 a. In. waggons,
SCHQ0,1_, PIC -NIC. —A pic-nic of the school,
taught_ by Mr. ,Wm. Ferguson, Section No. 2,
Grey, canee off on Eriday last, the 16th inst., in
the grove adjacent to the school. The ground
was all that could be desired, for such an occa-
sion, being well shaded, well watered, and well
supplied -with swings for the amusement of the
youiag Wks. The managing committee had also
mstructed a -eery handsome platform, it being
s. shed overwith ever greens and flowers. Scerce-
-e. had the sun graced the western hill tops, when
i and young, for miles, were wending their
-,ay to the center of attraction ; and by ten o'-
clock not less than two hundred pupils, and a
large numbei of parents and yisitors had reached
the 'theatre of pleasure." The call of Mr. Fergu-
son for order was cheerfally responded to. He
thanked,. the parents for their hearty co-operation,
and assured. them that such encouragement to
the young would not fail to be attended with
good resedts. A chairman was then appointed.,
who gave a very appropriate address to the schol-
ars and parents. The programme was lengthy
and well selected, consisting of speeches and reed-
tations, dialogues,' readings, music, vocal and. in-
strumental,. and some good plays, all of which
were rendered in first-class style. The plays
were the "Widow's Mistake," and "Mrs. Bounc-
er," and "The Old Lady's Mill," in which the
characters of each were admirably sustained.
Miss Ward. played the part .of the "Widow," in
which fthe evinced no small share of dramatic
skill and ability ; and Miss Allcock, who person-
, asted "Mrs. Bouncer," did. it in first rate style.
The boys were perfectly at home in their parts.
eIn fact where all did so well it would not be easy
.to say' who did best. Next came intermission
for dinner, when old. and young, with appetites
well sharpened, sat down to table groaning be-
neath a quantity, and a quality, of provisicms
that spoke:volumes for the liberality and ot
the providers. After the programme was exhaust-
ed a vote of thanks was moved to the teacher,
shafts, till stopped. by Miss Maggie Grieve, a be: one of the speakers, who complimented him
daughter of Mr. Hugh Grieve, who seems to be oh his success, Mr. Ferguson made a neat and
a courageous girl, and deserves great credit for appropriate reply. We must not forget to men
-
her prompt action on the present occasionMr. -tion that during the day we had some select
k). got off with aslight bruise, Miss Calder was
more severely- injured, and Dr. Campbell was im-
mediately called to attend to the case, which, we
are happy to say, is progressing favourably
•
ON Friday, 9th Met., the memorial stone of the
new Wesleyan Church, Stratford, was laid. with
ceremonies. A parchment scroll, on which was
inscribed the date of the ceremony, etc, and a
hermetically sealed glass jar contanike the fol-
lowing :—Minutes of the Wesleyan Conference for
1870; the Canadian Alnamac for 1870, the three
Toronto daily newspapers; the Christian Guar -
than., and the two Strafford papers, were placed
in a cavity prepared. for them. Rev. M. Punshon
having assisted the builder in placing the stone,
said, " 1 now declare this memthial stone Wel in
the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost" The Rev, gentleman .then referr-
ed to the difficulties with which congregations,
similarly- crounistancecl, had to contend, and.
gave, as an encouraging illustration, the case of
the ReVer*d and, revered John Wesley, who
commenced the erection of a chapel, capable, of
containing a congregation of 1000 people, when he
had collected only one pound and nineshillings in
subscription towards that object.
pieces of vocal and instrumental music, perform-
ed by the "Gowan Quadrille Band," who exhib-
ited. great musical talent. The intellectual part
over, next were races for theboys. the successful
ones being rewarded with apples and. candies,
the gifts of the merchants of Ainleyville, run-
ning for the girls, and base ball aidjumping for
the young men. The old men and women, of
course, had to stand: toone side and tell each
other their feats when they were young. Old
Sol beginning to dissappear, reminded. us that it
was high time to bid each other adieu, so each
turned hisback on the grove and. made tracks
for home.
carriagese a.nd buggies were to be seen .coming in-
to the section from all quarters, some puttina up
at the neighboring farmers, while others drove to
the Woods. About noon, when eatables, were
supposed to be going, in company with several
others, we made tracks for the woods. While
ascending the hill, our progress was arrested by
strains of music that fell upon .our ears. For
some time we were somewhat at a loss to know
where it eminated. .3ut.onward we pushed, and
in a short time, we found ourselves on the sum-
mit of Prospect Hill. where were assembled a
large number of people, amongst whom we found
our old. frieud, Mr. Peter McArthur, with that
instrument, under his arm, the sounds of which
cause every drop of Highland blood to -circulate
more fliely, leading us to exclaim. wite the
poet :----
creature was taken over to the house of a MTS. Mc-
Kay, vehontes opposite the tavern, where it is
said. them; rties interested, including Hugh and Jas
Davis and piemother ofthechild, assembled. At
about 4 o'clock in the morning of Tuesday the
13th, thelindividtials in question along witn the
said Mrs. Kay undertook to administer some
food to the ohild,which seems to have disagreed
with it badly, as the plaild died at about noon the
eame.dey. The unfortunate waif was buried ra-
ther hurriedly the same day, having three of the
parties interested acting as mourners. The sus-
picions of the public were aroused, butthe Corro-
ner, Dr. Hyndman,, being absent with the vol-
lunteers, farther action was delayed till the 20th
inst., at which time, we understand, an inquest
was held, the result of which has not yet reached
us. TO say the leastsof it, the whole affairis both
saspicious and mysterious. We expect. to be able
sto give further particulars in our next issue.

. POTA.TO ROT.- WO hear great many com-
plaints about the rotting of the potatoes in this
vicinity. We hope the crop will turn out a great
deal better than is predicted, as it is pretty hard
to live six months of the year wanting the re-
douta,ble "murphy."
MISSIONARY IVIEETiNo:---,A Missionary Al eating
was held in the P. Methodist Church, on Monday
evening, last.. The attendance was large, and
the claims of the Society were ably and eloquent-
ly advocated, by the deputation. Judging from
the matked attention paid by the audience to the
speeches, we should say the contributions were
pretty large.
Ramey) Y.—The deputation. which. was recent-
ly sent to Toronto to advocate the buililing of the
Arthur and Kindcardine bridich of the T. G. & .B.
R., returned on Saturday last. We understand
they have not been altogether, successful in their
mission, as the Board of Directors has decided
to survey another trial line, from plount Forest
to Kincardine via Teeswater. We hope the peo-
ple cf these townships will not get in any way
disheartened by theturn which affairs have taken,
but, if possible, be more alive, than ever to the
importance of getting the Branch to run thiough
here, and to advocate, both by their influenee,
and their pockets, the dieing of the same, to the
bestof *dr ability.

"The braw bag pipes are grand ma' frees,
The braw bag pipes are tine,
We'll teukit ,anither pebroch yet, • .
For the days o' auld lang syne."
Here -were to be found. representatives of the
neierlaboring villages -Walton, Ainleyville, James-
town, BeIgra.ve, Blythe, Kinburu, a,ndeSeaforth.
The table formed three fourths of e circle, of about
_60 feet in diameter. Upon. this structure was
speed the best assortment of eatables We have
seen for a long time. The ladies of the section,
ceitainlyi deserve great praise for the ablemanner
thy prebared for the occasion. After the table
had faithfully done its duty, the sports commenc-
ed, by oar friend Peter playing another tune.
Then the swings wrought furiously for a spell,
when the cry got up—" To the platform ." which
was nicely carpeted and arched over with an awn-
ing of maple leaves. It was occupied by the fol-
lowing se -Rev. J, W. Kerr,/ Ainleyvillee, in the
chair ; Rev. S. C. Hubbell, Walton ; Sper-
ling, Grey ; Robt. Thomson, Kinburn ; Revds.
Scrahb and Preston, Ainleyville ; and the sec-
tion choir led by Prot. Orr, of Marnoch. Sever-
al other speakers had been invited but failed to
put in an appearance, amongst who'll, was Dr.
Campbell, of Seaforth ; the Dr., however, did
the next best thing.: he sent a letter of apology
and regret, expressing himself desirous of meet-
ing with his Morrie acquaintances, but was pre-
vented from thus gratifying himself, by urgent
professional business. The chairman opened the
performance by delivering a short address on Edu-
cation, and. the general improvement ef our Cana-
da, etc., which was well received. On an occa-
sion of this kind, Mr. Kerr, in the chair, is the
right man in the right piece. Mr. Sperling spoke
for some time on the metlial sociability that
seemed to cheer all present. Our old friend, R.
Thomson, as usual, was not found to be short of
the ways and means of expressing himself on the
subject of &ha W e, much regiet that Mr.
Thomson is no, .s married man, as it would great-
ly improve his usefullness to. society. Rev. 8.

-His illustratiens were exceedingly good. Rev.
Scrabb enterte aed the company oy relating some
excellent yenta The singing fromthechoir was
unquestionable. good, notwithstanding the short
'time that Mr. Orr had to prepare for the occa-
sion. Miss Alice Moore, of Walton, sang a couple
of songs, which all were delighted to hear. She
has a musical voice, and. as Mr. Kerr said, if
properly cultivated could not be excelled M the
Dominion." The dialogues_ weie nunierous and
well rendered. Before closing, we Must mention
an independent 4hoir, which gave a couple of
pieces of music. This brings our pic-nic to a
close at 6 p. m., but we hope it will not be our
last social gathering, as it was a complete success
. in every respect. The pipes played to the last,
but as the sable godess was fast drawing her dark
curtains around us, we began to think of home—

. The semi-annual show under the auspices of
the Goderich Horticultural Society, was held m
the Drill Shed, Goderich, last Wednesday, 14th
and was in every sense a very successful af-
fair, the entries being 72 more than last year.
Three ta.bles stretching the entire length of the
Shed, were filled respectively with Fruits, Flow-
ers and Vegetables, While on the table across the
lower end, were a number of specimens fLadies'

Pic-Nrc.—On Wednesday, the 14th inst., a
pie-eie of the children and friends of the Blythe
Sabbath Schopl, was held in a beautiful maple
grove at the :northern end. of the village: The
day for this great occasion having been appointed
some time ago, its airrival -was most anxiously
awaited by many of ouryoung folks, who had
been frequently heard to express their Serious ,ap-
prehensions as to the weather, -which still con-
tinued unsettled. But to put an end. to all:these
unplemAnt foribcalings, the day came, at last,
bringing with it a clear, cool atmosphere, with-
out a clpud to impede for a moment the warm
and cheeisheel rays of a September sun, and with
. scarcely a breeze sufficient to move, to any ape
reelable extent, the mosttiny leaf of the forest
rom the church, as £4 central place of meeting,
the children all marched in one grand and well-
: organized -procession, headed by the Superintend-
ent, Teachers, and Stanclard-beaterk. As they
ii
large in this department, showing that a good
deal of attention is paid to fruit-growin is this
section.: The vegetableswere also good, abbages
and cauliflowers being -the only articles Wow the
average. The 'flowers were principally from the
gardens and hot-houseatof Messrs. G-ordon, Cam-
eron, Watson, Ross, and Elwood. 1 The first two
employ Pilactical gardeners, and although the lat-
ter are but amateurs theyshow themselves to be
no mean rivals. Mr. John Goodall is gardener
for Mr. Cameron; and Mr. A Goodall for Ma.
Gordon, In Ladies' Work the display was rath-
er poor, but we presume this is more owing to the
want of encouragement given by the Society than
the interest taken, in it by the Ladies. We trust
to see this remedied in futare. To particularize
articles and exhib#ori would take up more space
than We can spate, suffice it to say that the God.erich Horticultural Society have reason to be
proud of the Eine display last Wednesday. —Ster.•
B. B. M.ATCH.—The return match between
Wroxeter and. Bliivale B. B. Clubs, was played,
at Wroxeter last Saturday. There were only 8
men on each side, Bluevale played' nine and
Wroxeter eight innings, Bluevale scoring 18, and
Wroxeter 66 runs, leaving Wroxeter the victor by
one imainge and 48 runs. G. R. Rose, Esq., of
Ainleyville, acted as umpire, and gave general
satisfaction. D. Fisher, Esq , of Wroxeter, and
Farrow, Esq., of Bluevale, actied as scorers.
After the game was over, ,the players partook of
supper at Mrs. Day's hotel. It was got up in

OBITUARY.—It becomes our painful duty to re-
cord the death of Mr. ,John_Collingwood, Sen'r,
one of the earliest settlers of the township of Hay
who died at his residence, near Francistown, on
the 12th inst. . Deceased was widely known and
justly esteemed for his many good Aualities, and
his loss is deeply deplored by a large circle of
friends. The members of Leabanon Forest
Lodge of A. F. and A. M., (which the late Mr.
Collingwood assisted in founding, and of which
he continued to the period of his death, ati hon-
ore(1 member,) attended his funeral and consign-
ed his body.tditselaet resting place with Masonic
-
honors. On the return of the _Brethren to the
Lodge -room,- the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted :—".4esolved, That whereas it has
pleased the Great .Architect- of the universe in
His infinite wisdom to remove our late lamented

A SUSPICIOUS AFFAIR —It. seems that a woman
of the name of Mrs. Jas. Davis has for some time
kept tavern at Farquhar on the Thames Road, lis
borne, her husband having been for several years
in (Jalifornia. Not long ago the husband return-
ed, shortly after which his wife gave birth to a
child. This happened about six weeks ago. On
Monday the 12th Sept., Mrs. Davis went before
the Reeve, Mr. Bishop, and. gave her oath that
'Hugh Davis, a brother of her husband, was the
father of the child. Hugh Davis would not ad-
mit the child within his house, and it is said
threatened the parties with violence' unless they
left his placee The parties having arrived at Far-
quahar, James Devise the husband of the woman,
re ed to admit the child into his house Like
Noah's dove of old, the young stranger had no
i.esting place for the sole of its foot. The little
Milt subscriber begs leave to ten du his, than
