Robertson &I Coe intend removing to their new premises, Ktdd's new block, on or about the 6th of February.

It is to be pub- lished by the Hoiue Journal Printing Company," under the editorial manage- ment of Mr. William?. futon and Mr. William T. Cox.

A C::001) OliToIAL.-As will have been seen by the last minutes of our Village Council, Mr. T._ P. Bull, -was ' re-elected Clerk. We believe Mr. Bull has occu- pied this position eye r since the corpora- tion of Seaford' was cotabliehed, and it speaks well for his ability- and fituess for office, that each year he ha heen re- elected, by those who are in the best position. to form an opinion of the value a his services. • THEATRIOA.L PERFORMANCE. -The Sea - forth Ama.teurs will'etive their first Dra- matic Entertainment in the .Town Hall, this (Fride.y) eveniug, The proceeds of • this entertainment are to be given to the benevolent society for the benefit of the peer of the town. The entertainment will be a good one, and as. the object is certainly one of the most worthy, we feel confident that there will be a large- turn - ,.._e out. ., t 1 'GOOD FoRPUNE. - We learn that Messrs. George and. Thomas Carter, of Tuckersmith, left here for England, last week, to look after a legacy which :has been left them there. The amount is said to be about $6,000 efieh. We poen gratulate the Messrs. Carter arid their tnends upon their good fortune; a,ncl trust they may have a pleasant voyage home, and- e safe return, and that they may- long be spared to enjoy the fruits of their well merited good fortunes. s BITRNS ANNIVERSARY.—The anhiver- s ry-of the birth of the immortal ;Burns was celebrated in Seaforth, at Carmi- cheers Hotel, on Wedneeday, evening last. The atteuda.nce was not large. The supper was gotten up in the most elegant style. Thee head of the table was set off by a magnificent Haggis, "the chieftain ci' the puddin' race." Peter Ramsey, Esq., ably iilledtthe chain Notwithstanding the small attendance, a p,easant evening was spent by those preseet . 1 Ceaften &teeth -The second Social of the series now being- given, under the - auspices of the ladies- of the Seaforth Presbyterian Church, came. off, oh Wed- nesday evening last, at the residence of Mr. Nichol, township of McKillop. It was in every respect a success. The at- tendance Was large, 1 and all enjoyed themselves heartily. The thanks of the company are due Mr and Mrs. Nichol for the hospitality and kindness shown them_ , MONTHLY CATTLE Fate.- For eerne time the monthly cattle fair has notbeen as succestiel as formerly. This is owing almoehteewhele to the fact that there was no peon in particular to take charge of, and attend to the proper cauducting of the fair. For the past year. almost the whole responsibility of this fell upon Mr; - m. Fowler, the original instigator of eur monthly fairs, and we may here state that Mr. Foe ler is entitled to the thanks c.:f the community for the exertions he ilea put fedi' in its behalf. Now; how- ever. the matter has been taken in hand ay tile Tuekersmith Agricultural Sodiety, - and hereafter the fair i will bo held regu- larly under their auspices. From ,the well known energy of the officers of this Society, w6 may safely say that our menthly cattle fairs will, in future, be promptly and efficiently attended to. The fairs will be held, as formerly, on the third Tuesday in each month. itis un- necessary to say one word in behalf of these fairs, as we believe their advan- tages are now thoroughly understood and appre iatec1 by tatit Ryer and seller. I may herefore b'e an leratood that in fu ture t e Seefoeth rn.nthly eattle fair wit be reeularly attend° to and we have n he -sit; doe. in sayite that it Will prov eminently eucceesfu d4d productive o much good. 6 PR .SENTATION.- d Were s'iiown a fee days ago a very 1r rulsome present r ceivec rby Mise Han ah, from her pupils in th Seaforth !Sch ol.
