The Spring show for entire stock, of' the South Riding.of Huron Agricultural Society, was held at Brucefield, on Wed- nesday last. The day was one of the finest- and. most pleasant of the season, and the attendance of spectators was consequently vtry large. The show was, in every respect, moht successful, and in every department, with but one excep- tion, superior to that of last year. The following is a list of the successful com- petitors in the several classes _ - • • DELEGATIONS.--- A. delegation,composed ,of leading men -from Teckerstaith, Sea - forth, and IvIcKillop, went -co London on Wednesday last, to be present at the _ 3neeting of the Shareholders et the Lon- sion, Huron and Brace Railway, for the eeleetion of Permanent Director h The ' object of the Delegation'is to lay before • the new Boerd. the superior advantages of . the Eastern route over any other for the - cointeuction of their road.

The lst prize was awarded to S. J. Fisher's "King of the Dominion ;" 2nd, Thomas Colquhoun's- " Lord. Hadtlosv ;" 3rd, Wharton flodg- son's Scotch Miracle." So nearly equal were some of the. animals that the Judges could. net agree, and two others had to be Palled in. General' Purpose. -There were five en- tries in. this class, and although all were fine animels, yet the display was not equal to that of last year. • We are sorry to notice.that this class of horses do -not receive the attention to which they are entitled. Horse breeders now -a -days seem to go to the two extremes -the very large, and the small. In this class, Mr. Leonard Hunter's "Young' Coach.man " was missed. We believe that ht is to travel this season in the County of Kent. He has travelled on his old roete for several yearn in succession, and a change for a time was thought advisable. •The prizes Were awarded as follow's : 1st, Wm.

McCarron called Out, "He is using a knife on nee ;" the 'arties that were on the street near by - t the • time, ran towards them, when unyon ran away. The wounded Man was at once taken to Dr. Graham's surge- ty, and his wounds dressed. A warrant was at onceissued for the arrest.of Dun - yon, and placed into the hands of Con- stable Hall, who took with him Constable Frayne, '' and three special 'constables, Thomson; English, and Bailey. They at once went to his father's house in • search of their man, who, they found, had arrived home and gone to bed. He was taken prisoner by Hall and brought to the village for sale keeping for the night. On Tuesday morning he was rought to 4 trial before Justices Leckie; ooney, and Scott.

(A.Treener To SHOOT. -This was an ac- tion brought by John Bailey, of Ainley - 0. ville, agamst Robert Dunyon, of . Mor- ris. It appears that Bailey was one of the special constables taken by Mr. Hall to assist in arresting James Dun - yon, for stabbing McCarron, on Mon- day evening. Bailey and Dunyon, Sr., had a quarrel last winter, and when Mr. Hall went to Dunyon's liouse that even ing, the old man was at home. Some of his family told him that Bailey W9.8 out- side with a pistol to shoot him. Dunyon jumped up and took down his gun, which was hanging in the room, and put it out at •the door, saying he would. shoot Bailey. Constable Hail seized the n and would not allow him to e. Bailey, not caring to have a bole made in him in the dark, made double-quick time around the corner of the house, and took • refuge behind an empty salt barrel. Some parties who had followed the Con: stables from the village and who were standing on the road a little -way off, seeing a man escaping, thought it was the prisoner and made quick pursuit, but soon found their mistake. Dunyon, Sr., was tried by the same J.

JOHN O'S,ULLIVAN, Clerk. Wroxeter School Examination. The examination of Wroxeter publie school took place on Friday last, in presence of a large concourse of specta- tors, although the weather and roads were very unfavorable. The pupils of the junior department were first exam- ined, chiefly by'Mr. McNairn. The lit- tle ones did exceedingly well, which re- flected gregt credit -upon their teacher, Miss Eden. The senior department, taught by Mr. George Eyvel, cannot receive too great praise. The order, al- though the attendance was very large, was splendid. Everything seemed. to move like clock -work. The different classes underwent thorough and search- ing examinations, and the quick, clear, and explicit answers given by the pupils astonished all who had the pleasure of hearing them. Two classes deserve par- ticularly to be mentioned, viz.: the senior grammar and. English history. I don't think their equal can scarcely be found in the county. The department was principally examined by Mr. Brad. - ley. who appears to be an expert at the business. In the evening a concert was held in the school house, and notwith- standing the deplorable state of the roads, • the school -room was crowded to excess. It was in every way a grand success, and, as the Rev. Mr. Brown said, it was one of -the best ever held in Wroxeter. The proceeds which are to be applied for pi ize-books for the pupils, amounind to over $21. Wroxeter. LITERARY ENT.ERTAINAIENT.-One of the most successful entertainments ever held in this place was given in the school- room last Friday evening. The object of the exhibition, viz: To procure prizes for the school, together with a choice and varied programme, secured a crowd. ed house, though the ri ads were very bad, and the weather during the day anything but favorable to those comiug from a distance. The room was crowded to overflowing, there being many present from Belmore, Bluevale, Leechville and other places at a distance. The room was beautifully decorated for the occas- ion by the pupils of the school, under the direction of 'Vile% Eden and Mrs. E. Veal, who, in common with most of the villaw.irs, did all in their power to make the exhibition successful.

MR. GEO. EYVEL, Dear Sin -Owing to indisposition 1 will not be able to give nay attendance to -morrow evening as 1 expected 1 would. Though recovering it would not be safe for me to be present. at which 1 am considerably disappointed. Hoping you will have a zuccezefel time. aria, yours respectfully, Tuoeie s C MON. Th i t nental mueic of the enter - e us rui tainment was furnished. by the brass band, and the Wroxeter Glee Club, to Whom the conimittee .are largely indebt- ed for the success of the exhibition. Among the pieces of vocal music we may men ti "Mollie Graham," "Little Barefoot," and. "Out in the Cold," by Miss Maggie Lawrie, who is always a favorite with a Wroxeter • audience, not Only on 'account of her excellent singing, but else for het cheerfully -rendered as- sistanee to any public or charitable ob- ject. Her performance on Friday even- ing was up to her usual mark, and. drew loud applause. The accompaniments were playec; by Mrs. G. Gibson and. Miss Seen na Knuteson. The latter in another part of the perfdrinance sang "Driven from Horne"with taste and feeling. Mr. and Mrs. Gibson also sang a beautiful- littiie duett entitled. .1 uanita," 0110 01 the eheice pieces of the evening. The dialogues given by the pupae were well rendered, and some of the comic kind excited loud laughter by the coolness and eateralness with which they were de- _ livered. Among those given -we may mention "The 1 rish Schoolmaster,"- by Messrs. L: C. Lawrie, John Barnard and. Wm. Walker ; "The Herd Case," by F. W. Gibson, F. V. E. Dickson, and E. H. VanEVery ; " Richelieu's Vindication," by Wm. ‘Vallter, F. W. Gibson and L. C. Lawrie "The Victim," by Miss Blanche bays, Miss Annie McDonald, lis Carrie Lawrie, Miss E. Forsyth, L. C. Lawrie, T. W. Gibson and others; • Exeter. No NAME. -We heve received from a correspondent at Eiteter a communica. tion on the subject of Mr. Greenway's acceptance of the nomination of the South Huron Conservative Convention, which we cannot publish, for two reasons. 'The first is, that it is not authenticated by the name of the writer; the second, that it is of too personal and abusive a nature, and its publication could not possibiy be productive of good results, but on the contrary would go far towards engender- ing unnecessary strife and ill feeling. A gibrg BoRsB.-Mr. Wharton Hodg- son, of this place, has recently purchased, and intends travelling in this vicinity this season,. one of the finest Clydesdale horses ever taken into the county. We understand that Mr. Hodgson is prepar- ed. to match this horse for any reason- able sum, against any other horse owned in the county, as a heavy draft' horse. We trust Mr. Hodgson's efforts to im- prove the stock of the county may be duly appreciated by the farmers of South Huron, and that his venture may prore a fortunate one.
