- PERSONAL. —The Seeforth correspon-
dent of the Goderich Star leftlast -week
for Goclerieh to recruit his failing health
and wasted energies by a brief estivatiton
of teventy-one days. The, popularity of .
our County tcovn as a summer resort is
becoming well 'established.
A LITTLE MIXED. —The Toronto' Tele-
graph, -which has of late been devoting
considerable attention to sporti g mat-
ters, in its issue of Monday last, rinade a
curious mistake by publishing a report of
the Seaforth races, of the 24th, under the
heeding of " Goderich Races." We hope
the sporting editor of the -Telegraph may
be able to attend the Seaforth fall races
in person, and there will be no danger of
his mixing things again.

STILL THEY Go,=—The rush of visitors
to the old country during the present
season from this quarter is unusually
large. We have already given the names
of several who have gone to view once
more the scenes of early days, and this
week we have to chronicle the names- of
• several more. Mr. Charles Mason and
Mr. Bingham. 3tarted on Saturday.
Messrs Love and Turnbull, on Tuesday,
and Mr. Rattenberry oa Wednesday.
We believe it -was the intention of these
gentlemen to ineet in Toronto, and form
into one party. They intended leaving
Toronto on Thursday, and doubtless
ere this they are comfortably ens,consed on
board one of the ocean steamers. Mr. Love
has kindly promised to furnise our readers
with notes of his tripsa8 he proceeds,
and we expect that his first letter will
be dated from the ancient capital of
Canada. Mr. A. Halley, of this village,
also intends to start on Saturday next.
Mr. Halley .has already crossed the
Atlantic !several times, aud this time he
has some idea of1remaining on the other
side. We think, however, that we are
sate in predicting that he will soon tire
of the land o' cakes," and that ere six
months pass- round, we will have the
pleasure of welcoming him back once
nuire to Seaforth.

It -is interesting to notice thedifference
which has taken place in the current of
our emigration during the past year or
two. !Before the Iteeqiver mania led to
the spread of informat on regarding the
resources of the "Far 'West," north of
the American boundary, those who
were dissatisfied lk_th their lot here,
or who thought they Could do better by
moving, generally pitched their tents in
some of the Western States ; Missouri,
Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, &c., each tak-
ing a share in our surplus or rather our
moving population. 1 But now the gen-
eral try is for Manitrobae The great ma-
