SUNDAY -SCHOOL ANI•TIVERSARY. - On
Good Friday, 29th.- hilt., the Sunday -
School in connection: with the Seaforth
Wesleyan Methodist Church held its an.-
niversary celebratioo. The children, af-
ter the usual refreshments, entertained
the audience. with recitations and
singiun The singing was under the di-
rectors -hip of Mc. Brownell, and gave
evidence of no little pains and patient
training on his part. 'Several "class ex-
aminations" were given, conducted by
'Mr. Hill, the .Superintendent, Rev. Mr.
Kennedy and Mr. Gray, one of the
teachers.. The yearly report was read,
and showedthe school to bein a gratifying
state of preeperity. A pleasant feature
of the preceedings was the presentation
.of a handsome Bible to Mr. and Mrs.
Byrns, Of Clinton, who, nail lately,
were teachers in the school, which was
suitably acknowledged by Mr. Byrns.

Sowooa RECEPTION. -It had been pre-
viously announced that a reception would
. be given on the 26th ult., in School Sec-
tion No. 4, McKillop ; and. long ere the
hour arrived for the curtain to 'rise, the
house was crowded to excess. Amongst
the audience we noticed. quite a large
number of the early pioneers of McKil-
lop, showing by their presence the inter-
est they take in the education of the
rising generation. There was also quite
a number of the pedagogue faculty pre-
sent. At 7:30 the curtain raised, and
the opening address was delivered by one
of the pupils, that plain, broad Scotch
style, which causes every truehearted
Scotchnaan to think of that rugged, yeu
beantiful isle. far away across -the deep
blue seas, and of the scenes enacted in
his boyish days as he played along the,
-banks. of its rippling streams, or teen
races up and down the steep hill sides,
-with his • sportive companions, little
dreaming that he should ever have to
part with them, and far less thatany
land - save dear 'old Scotland should be
the resting place of his mortal remains.
The programme Of the evening consisted
.of recitations, singing, dialogues and in-
strumentalt music, which: in number
amounted t� 40,. and were well executed,
which reflect's great credit on the child-
ren, and Mr. Sutherland as teacher. At
11 the proceedings of the evening- were -
brought to a close by Dr. Campbell, who
delivered a short address and gave a re-
citation, when the assembly broke up,
all apparently highly satisfied. with the
performance of the evening. The proceeds
from the earance fees amounted to
$.29 50, which sum will be appropliated
to the purchasing of a school library.

of the late George :Ross, on Saturday
'last, there were 75 teams in the proces-
sion, besides a large number on foot
It was fele of the largest funerats -that
has ever been in this neighborhood.
BUSINESS. - Owing to the stormy
weather and bad roads, business has been
.rather dull this Spring. Our merchants,
however, are making great preparations
and laying in large stocks -of goods for
the summer trade.
CHANGES. -Mr. John McCallnin has
purchased the stock and good -will of
Mr. John Knechtel's Shoemaking buzin-
nese, and intends carrying on in future
on a more extended scale.
EXPLANATIONS WANTED. -A strong
feeling among some of Mr. dileson's best
supporters in this section is that it
would be well fer hiin to come . out and
explain to his e0130ituents the position
•that he took with the Governmene in re-
spect to granting aid to the Wellington

READ IT. -Mr. N. `M. Livingstone, is
one of those business men. who thorough-
ly believes itt the efficacy of Printers'
ink to build up and. retain a good busi-
ness, and who has prospered by its use.
This is evidenced by the large amount
o,f space which he occuiiies in the THE
ExPosrron this week, and the large and
magenficent stock of merchandise he con-
stantly keeps in his store. Mr. Living-
stone, however, is no "puffer," but
whatever he may say in print is always
justified by the stock of goods which he
keeps, and the low prices at which he is
enabled to sell thew owing to his long
business experience, and his ability to
purchase for cash in the best and. cheapest
markets. We would direct attention to
his advertisement this week, it will well
repay careful persual.

CONCERT, --The concert held in con-

Wednesday, evening 27th ult., was a.
decided. success. The attendance was.
very large, the school-rooro_ being se.
crowded that many could not obtain
seats, although a number of temporary
-
ones had been erected. The readings.
given by T. Farrow, Dr. Scott, and G.
Eyvel, were excellent, and highly ap-
preciated by the audience. The songs of
Misses Herbert and Grey took immense-
ly, and received repeated encores. The.
singing, music, dialogues, &c., of the

unacquainted with 'the case, and. I do not
wish your readers to be d-apcd by the,
plausible tale gratuitously furnished. by
Mr. Ratepayer, 1 Will now give the cor-
rect version of the case. • He states that
lot 15 lacks- four rods, and that lot 16-
• has four rods more than the -correct al-
lowanee, which the occupier has often
• =km owledeed, but holds the land on pre-
, tence of a' mistake in the original sur-
vey, This is not correct. Lot 16 has not
four rods more than the correct allow-
ance. Tbe original post at the front
of lot 16 on the East side stands thein at
present, and. can be proVen to as fee back
,as thee year 1350, when- there were
nosettlere whatever' in the neigh. -
bet -hood. At the time the settlers were
getting the lines rim between their lots
there, were 110 posts found between the
pest on the eest side ot lot 16 and that on
the east aide of lot 20; and on measniing
the front Of these lots there was an over -
plus found whieh was equally diyided be-
tween the five lots, and new posts. put
down. When the parties claiming the
land -wished to leave it to arbitration,
the ocennier of lot 16 would have done
the Wellington, and. ns a good deal
better. But, in e.onclueion, all that
Grey and Morris can Say to Seaforth is :
