DISTRICT MATTERS. Musses. E. Plielcsort & Co. recently imported - a beautiful dinner set, manufactred specially -to their order for a gentleraan in this town. Wu observetliat Mr. S • Morton has taken pos- session of ,the Kinburn hotel, Mr. Mutton is well known te the people of Huron, and will therefore, we expect. do a good. business. • Our old friend Archibald Bishop, Esq., Reeve of Usborne; has eommenced auctioneering. From what we know of the -energetic and sterling &e- recter of Mr. Bishop, we have every confidence that he will be Successful in the business. Ten Mercer -Dean murder case is now in course of--teial, at Gederich. At Walkerton, the Grand' Jur t found a -true bill against William Mercer for the murder of Joel Dean, and the Judge has the privilege of saying where the trial shall be held. ' The holding of it in Goderich will save the witeeases much time and expense. • ••:VVE'are pleased to know- that the salt, manu- factured at the Coleman & Gouinlock works, in this plaCe, is giving the best of satisfaction, to the mercantile community. Competent judges, in the persons of experienced dealers, pronounce it a No, 1 article. About a; dozen carloads have, already, been shipped, and, besides, the local de- mand has been very large. • BLYTH. FIRE.—We regret to hear that the large Card- ing -mill and Shingle factory, belonging to Messrs .McQuarrie & Co was destroyed on Saturday morning by tire, originated- accidentally. The loss is estimated at about.;;•5000, of which there is not one-fifth covered by insurance. It was one of the fiercest fire!! which ever took place • in that locality. • USBORNE. SQUIRREL HUNT. - The. shootists" about Lumley had half a day'e grand -sport on Friday, 16th inst., ehooting squirrels and " other feath- ered game." Mr. Blachford and Mr. Fanson were the Captains. (The hunters met at Lumley, and were chosen *their respective sides, and at one o'clock the word of command was given by the captains Immediately both companies "did to the greenwood go,,, where, from that time till the shades of evening pat a stop ta the carnage, the squirrels had deeidedly the worst of the day. The time appointed . for reassembling was half - past seven,and about that time, and as darkness came on apace, those mighty hunters upon the earth might have been seen "gathering from near and far," each. with the spoils of the forest, in the shape of squirrels' tails, and a plentiful coating Of burs on the nether extremities. Some, it seems had not speet all their energies on the squirrels, eanctso Lumley was saluted with repeated volleys from -the " shooting irons" of those who had am- unition enough left for such a phrpose. There was a great deal Of wondering whose side would come of number one, and We heard some of the 'inquisitive ones were told that time would tell the tale when, the tale of tails -was told. Mr -ifmnon, senr., was the umpire to number the points made. Red squirrels counted 1 and black squirrels 2 points, and ducks, crow's, hawks, &c., counted. 5 or 6. The highest number of points made by any one was 32—by Mr. Geo. Moir. Mr. Bla,ckford's side having nearly twice as many plaints as theirlopponents werevictorious, though the valliant Nimrods on the other side made ex- traordinary efforts — the captain and .several others -figuring up as high as a whole 0. And so the -nriluekee wights on Mr. Fanson's side had to foot the bill for the " aitin and drinkin" and . . - other entertainments in the ee-eningThere be- ing a -number of ladies present, music was put in requisition and those who felt inclined to engage in Terpsichorean exercises began to •' chase the, glowing hours with flying feet," and so continued till nearly noon of night. DeeArnea.-Lumley Debating Club has -epm- menced operations again. There was a debate last week, and, to vary the performance a little, last Tuesdety evening there was a readingi'by Mr. Wm. Gracey. The subject to be brought Under discussion the next evening is ".Resotved—:That Flattery is a greater evil then'Sla,nder." SEAFORTH FALL RACES. • The first fall races‘ \under the auspices of the Seaforth Turf Club, came off, on the Seaforth Riding and Driving Park, On -1\4011.C18N and Tues- day last.

(Reported for the Expositor.) • :The Court of Assizes for this County, opened at Goderich, on Monday 26th inst., before his Honor, Jadge Adam Wilson, 0. Robinson, Esq.,, Q. C., Crown Couneel. The Grand Jurg. being sworn, his Honor addressed them as follows :— Mr. Foreman, and Gentlemen, of the GrandAry. =Very little appears on the Sheriff's return to be brought_ before you. There is only- one person in gaol, the charee a.gainst whozu you will have to consider. There is another person in gaol but a Grand Jury has already delivered a finding in his case. The charge against the former person is; 1 understand, that of embezzlement. The distinction •between larceny and embezzlement was want to be embarrassing, as it was difficult to tlistieguiSh where' the former ended and the latter began, But the law is now changed, and a jury can find a Bill for either larceny or em- bezzlement on a case and the prisoner has notthe chance of escape he formerly had. The general distinction was that, in the cake of larceuy the rightful owner must have had the property in his possession, While, in the case- of embezzle- ment, a clerk, for example, might sell an article and. keep the "proceeds instead of putting them into the till. This ,distinction is to* dem away with. 8ti1l an owner must prove that something more than a mistake wag coMmitted by the \ par- ty charged. cal/ attention .to the general prin- ciples of the law. The merits of this particular case, I am not, nor need I to be conversant with. •The civil court will probably last the entire week. I shall not detain you any longer than is abaci- lntely.necessary to, dispose of the cases. After disposing of a few unimportant and unde- fended civil cases, the court adjourned. about one p. , till to-morrowlmorning. 4:1:113.SDA,Y• MO enrsoa us Motonacei,—Action, to recover damages for trespass.

The Fall Show of the Tnekersmith Agricultu- ral Society. opened-, en the Society's Grounds, Seaforth, on Thursday; 22nd inst., and continu- ed the following day. Until the last few hours of Friday, the weather *mall that could be desir- ed; when a drizzling ram set in, which rendered it rather disagreeable. • The nrst day, of course, was not the occaeion, of niuch cleinonstration, . it being ocenpied in taking entlies,J and by the judges of the inside department, t the exclusion of the public from the hall, till lat in the after- noon: On 'Friday, however; from an early hour the people kept coming in to our village, till ths Show Grounds, and the streets, were alive with farmers and their Wives,- their robust sons and smiling daughters. The Show was good in almost every denartment, and in some, very excellent in points of quality, though in others, again, there Was a noticable deficiency in quantity. Viewed, however, from a purely agricultural stand point, it is a question whether, it was ever equalled, by any of the -previous exhibitions of this Society. Pecuniarly, 'too, it wee' a magnificent success; something in the vieinity of three hundred dol- lars having been taken at the door. THE IMPLEMENTS. Amongs t these, th e group, exhibited by 0.0. Wih son, consisting -of a combined elevating straw' cut- er and.pea thresher, single straw cutter, root cut- ter, seed drill, cider mill, combined reaper and mower, and a -number of plows, made a promi- nent display. The reaper was the centre of an adMiring crowd- the live -long day; one especial rIoi for this, was that this handsome article is a gi t to the South Huron Agricultural Society, by he Massey Manufacturing Company, through Mri 01(3. Wilson, to be awarded 'as a prize, at the Society's Plowing Match this Pall.' Zapfe & Certier had on exhibition one of their celebrated grain-seperators, which was highly recommended y the judges a number of straw -cutters and gang -plows. Mr. Graham Williamion, was, as usual, on hand, with excellent spechnens of his handiwork, in the shape of three most magnifi- cent plows, one iron, one wooden, and one iron and, wood, and iron harrows. Thomson di Wil - Herne, Mitchell, also exhibited a number of their popear implements including straw -cutters, fan- ning mill. and several plows. J. M, Martiii was not behind; he was shewing a double mould- board plow, turnip seed drills, iron harrows, wag- gon jacks, etc. Mr. Willients had no competition En pumps. „ WAGGON AND-CARRIAGE'MAKERS/ -WORK. Very few departments of the Show equalled, and certainly none surpassed, this one ; and what is. more remarkable, notwithstanding the superb display, it was made alniait entirely by one es- tablishment—McIntosh & Morrison's.. Nine of the handsoineet and best finished vehicles, con- sisting of one buggy, one phaeton, one cutter, eight carriagesond two democrats, were the ob. jects of the highest admiration of all spectators. Messrs. McIntosh. & Morrison took no less than five regular prizes and a Cutter of their manu- tfactnre, was highiy recommended, by the judges Messrs.Rudd, & Fulton, took the, first prize for an iron-axletree lumber waggon. Wealso noticed a very servicable carriage the manufacture of Mr. W. Grassie, • • HORSES. The display in horses was excellent in every particularln no class was there a deficiency, while in young animals there was an immense number. We notice that Mr, Thos. McMichael was aWarded four prizes in this department. I cArrrE, • This clePartment like the last, was well. filled, and. in every sense, the display was a credit to the country. H. Snell and S. Carnochan carried off a very large number of prizes. SHEEP. Good arid all as the two last named depart- ments were, this was fully equak to either. One peii• otseearling ewes,- and a pair of ewe lambs, both of which took first prizes, owned by R. Man- ning, were well werthy of special note IL Snell and John Cowan were the heaviest prize -takers in this department. SWINE. • The display of SW1.110 was one of the [features of the Show. • The pens of John Copeland were, as 11811E le justly admired by lovers of the genuine Suffolk. POULTRY. • This department was but sparsely filled. Mr: Geo. Habkirk, however, made a respectable dis- play, and was awarded quite a number of regular prizes, And one extra. - RAIN. • There were !same really good, (considering the year), specimens of graie on exhibition,. and the quantity was by no means deficient. VEGETABLES. Vegetables were exceedingly well represented: 1Ve need not particularize on this department,. DAIRY PRODUCE. The array of better was very' large, and the samples were choice. Cheese was not so exten- sively represented, but what was • shewn, Was considered first-class. We regret to be coMpelle.d to Say that with the exception of apples, which was a, very notable one, the fruit exhibition was very far behind. True,there were a few excellent pears, less peaeh- ee, and still less grapes, plume, and Siberian crabs.; - The apples, though, as we have indicat- ed, possessed superior merit. • . - LADIES' WORK. The ladies' work, while very fine in point of quality. Made but a meagre display, indeed ; that is, as compared with previous years, _still ranch ahead of what is generally seen at branch society exhibitions. In quilts the display was large, and the judges expressed themselves not a little em- barrassed in arriving at just awards. MIRO ELLAN EO There was a large'quantity of stuff not•proper- ly 'adming-under any of the above headings. We may mention a very fine set of carriage harness, exhibited by John Campbell ; an assortment of factory cloths and flannels, manufacturedby Fos- ter & Morley of Clinton ; a- number of Cooking stoves with copper furniture exhibited by Rohn Kidd ; and, besides,. there was the full quota of home-made articles such flannels, blankets, .etc. And, by the way, we must not forget to mention the assortment ot .excellent domestic Wine, exhibited by Mr. A. G. VimEgmond, and r. Zunmers ; the judges "highly recommend. - 'ed" it, and we answer forthem, that they •-would not do this without fully understanding why they did do. 8onte beautiful hOney, the best of which, we understand, was produced. by Mr. R. Gienlock, was universally admired.. For further illticulars we refer to the PR,1ZE LIST. • HORSES. Best brood mare having raised a foal in 1870 ; • Thos. McMichael, Jonn 111eCand1ess, Wm. Black.
