THE SPRING HAS COME. —J. Duncan and Co. are now prepared to furnish Boots and Shoes, Hats' and Caps, of the latest styles and best material, suitable for this season's wear, at prices that defy competition.. Their stock is all new, and for quality and durability can he surpassed. Just try them. e • To THE LADIES. —Mr: _Robertson, cabinet-maker, has just received. a num- ber of very handsome Baler Carriages and Perambulators, of •various styles. ,Go and see them.' the United States, and Under the circum- stances which it was made, •we have every confidence that it will not be the last. The superiority of our salt over that of American manufacture is to great that it 'must ultimately work its way in- to the American markets, no matter how great the barriers may be which are placed in its way. THE DRAMA.—From a "concatenation . of adverse circumstances" •a notice of the excellent pertormance .of the Dramatic ' Club, on Monday, the ].5th inst., was omitted•in. our last issue. We have quite a lengthy criticism befoi ens, evhichnhoulcl then have appeared, but as it must, to some extent, have lost its first interest, through the time which has elapsed since the performance, and as we are again- pressed for room by the require- ments of our advertising prtrons, we will not be able to find place for it.. One fea- ture of the entertainment, however,' we cannot pass entirely over. Mrs. Sage's performance on the musical. glasses was very geed, and it quite astenished the audience how such music. could be pro- duced from common tumblers. It is hoped the. people of Seaforth may have another opportunity of hearing Mrs. Sage. We understand that the Club will close the season by giving a per- formance on Queen's Birthday, ;arid an-. ticipane for them a crowded house, as they deserye, on their benefit night.

First ship- ment from England. this season. An- other on the way ; will be here in a few days. Now iinthe time to buy, as the _melees twill be advanced in the Fall. . • LARGE EGG-S.—We were shown a day or two ago by Mr. Yeo, auctioneer, of tbis village, quite a curiosity in the shape of two large goose eggs. Clue of -these eggs weighed 8i oimees, and measur- ed 10-t inches round the long way, and 81 inches round the Small. The other .egg weighed 9t- ounces, and raeasured inn inches the long, and 8.1 inches the 43=11 way.- These eggs were both laid by a common Canadian goose, nct yet one year old. Who can beat it? TEA:G10ERS' Assonnerrog.-- The tient meeting of the Huron Teachers' Associa- tion will be held in the Court Hous Goderich, on Friday and.

THE TwENTY-FOURTH OF MAY.—The Seaforth and Driving Park As- sociation are making arrangenients for a grand -meeting on.' the- Driving Park, in this 'village, on the twenty-fourth Gf May. Liberal purees will be offered for • eompetition, and it is anticipated that the meeting on the twenty4ourth will be the most successful and interesting which his yet been held. The Association in- tend to spare neither labor -nor money to • make the occasloo one that will be alike creditable to themselvesand eillage. The programme of the races will issued in a fewdays.

Mueically, the cOncert • wee equally successful. We only speak the • sentiments of all who were present when we say that rarely, if ever, nes a musical entertainment of equal merit been given in Seaforth. The most prominent feature of the programme was the sole -singing of Professor Jones. This gentleman possesses a vole of unusual compass, strength and clearness, and at the same of no ordinary culture. The solos of "The Lillies," the • "Angel's Whisper," and ." The Rescue," where given by Prefessor Jones in a manner which de• lighted the audience, while his rendering •of " Widow Machree " and a couple of medleys, given in response to. encores, showed that he is %teeny prOficient in the comic department—tif we may so call it—of the vocal art. The amateurs who sung On the occasion also did themselvesi infinite credit. Mrs. George Ewing's Scotch songs, " Within a Mile of Edin- burgh Town" and "Annie Laurie " ware sung with great sweetness, and called forth hearty encores. Mr. D. Johnson, Mr. F. Paltridee, Mrs. Paltridge, and Mrs McMulkin also favored the audienee . . . with choice pieces -which were well re- ceived and heartily applauded. -• The instrumental part of the performance, was equally well. sustained with, the, vocal. The playing of Mile McMulkinl in the piano solos, as well as in the ace compamments, was characterized by an •accurateness and brilliancy which are rare, even with the most accomplished. • artists. The `` Natalien Waltzes," by Mrs. 111cMulldn and Mrs. Seatter, was well received, as were also the solos by Miss, Beatty- and the Misses Goldsmith. To Mr. Frank Paltridge, the esteemed precentor of the congregation, who die - charged the duties of manager and con- ductor on the occasion, great praise is due, for the -satisfactory and successful ' manner in which the concert went off.

N: Watson an& others, asking for a new sidearalk on George street, was received and referred to the Street Committee. • The Council then adjourned, to meet again on Tuesday, May 7th. 1 *VALUABLE COLTS.A-We are informed that a gentleman in the townsbip: of llibbert was recently offered $80 in cash •for a mare. colt from. Mr. Pellow's import- ed blood -horse, Young Sir Arthur, when it was but three dans 61d.

Edwards, long and favorably known in Wroxeter, intends starting for Chicago. shortly; we wish him every • success. . • WEATHER, &C.—Our long cord. winter has been succeeded by a very backward. spring. Farmers have very little ploughieg done yet, and sowing has not been thought of: To -day (Tuesday) at the time of writing it is snowing as hard as 'ever it did. in 'Tannery, and the pros- pects for getting in the crop are cer- tainly not very promising. Added to them unfavorable circumstances, there is a great scarcity of fodder for cattle, so much so that many have died from sheer poverty.

FIRE ,AT ETREL. —Mr. Patton, hotel - keeper, had the whole of his h.otel and out -buildings completely destroyed by fire at Ethel on Friday night last. He saved nothing. We understand there was no ins-urance. BUSINESS. — Mr. Hendrie's foreman was here on Wednesday, and made ar- rangements for accommodation for ten teams and thirty men, who are to begin wcrk in this neighborhood in a few days on the railroad. A large force of men and teams commenced work at Wing- ham- on Wednesday. This looks like business. •' Bluevale. Immoteore—The Rev.

RAILWAY.- —I understand that the Wellington Railway Company intend opening a temporary Engineer's office in this village. WmennEn.—The Spring is very late in coming. During the past week _the nights have been very frosty, and to -day (Tuesday), we had a good fall of snow. On Sunday afternoon a regular tornado swept through this place and. vieinity, tearing up trees, unroofing barns, sheds, &c., and it actually lifted. one house about six feet from the blocks on which it rested. It only lasted a very short time. ITEMS. —Sap ran exceedingly well last week, and considerable maple sugar and molasses were macle.-e-Feed is very scarce here, and a great many cattle are d-ying. —Hay is $30 to $40 per ton and very little to be had at that—The freshet was of very short duration this year, and no damage was done.—Fall wheat look- ed well when the snow went off, but the frosts of last week have been very bard upon it.—Very little plowing done yet. parent, that the efforts of those who enoileali to put in their crops. have spent nmeh. of their means in en- STEALENG 11A.Y.—We have 'sunnier deavoring to improve the steak of the case of "petty larceny " to record- this country by importing . first class male -week. nMr. james Paulin in passing animals, are commencing to be duly ap- his hey stack. the other evening found preciated, and their enterprise rewarden. a )woman busily engaged in pulling hay . frem the other eide of the stack; upon A NEW; ENTERPRISE IN SE.A.FORT11.— seeing Mr. Paulin, she left rather on- , We learn tnat two gentlemen named.' ceremoniously taking a bundle of hay &later, from Innerleip, have leased: for with ner.

It is for this purpose to protect us from any loss that we ask you to sign the enclosed new agreement, the only differ- ence between it and the one already signed being that this one gives us the -ontion of terminating the agreement while the old agreement gives the Option either party. On consideration, you ill see that this change does not affect • �u at all, but to us it means that ive" light build the line through your town- s ip, mnd. you would, under the old agreemeut, have the power to withhold 3 pur debenturen which.

When practical Dairymen, sueh as the gentleman in question, consider it so iamb ariperior to American salt that they can afford to pay an import duty- of eeventy pants per barrel; and freight at the rate of $40 per car for it, over and above vehat they would require to pay for their own, ourreaders can readily imagine what an impetus it would. give- to the Canadia.n salt interests, if that duty were reduoed even by half.

AN OLD RESIDENT .GONE. —We regret being called upon this week to record the sudden death of Mr. William Black, an old and !highly esteemed- resident of the township of McKillop. It seems that during the late freshet, in order to save the -lives of two men, Mr. Black jumped into the river, which passes near his farm. After rescuing his companions ann leaving the water, he neglected for some time to change his clothing. thus contracting a severe cold which settled on his lungs, and from the effects of which he was confined to his house for some days. He, however, recovered sufficiently to resume worn on Thursday - last, but on -Friday was again taken ill, although during that day he was still able to be about. OXt. Saturday he was confined to his bed all day, and on • Sabbath morning he breathed his last. • Mr. Black was a man of -unusual i telli- f gence and force of character. Alt ough but a young Dian he had by persev ranee arid industry, succeeded. in hewing out of the foi est, a comfortable house for himself and. family. He was a useful member of society, occupied a . kading position in the corannmity where he lived, and was justly respected by all who knew him. His sudden death will be much felt and deeply. regretted by many. His remains were followed to their last resting place by a large, con- . course of friends, on Tuesday last. 1 FOR MANITOBA.—Mr. Adam Dickson, son of Mr. Charles Dickson, of McKillop, 1.eft on Saturday last for Manitoba. • Mr. Dickson joined. another party of young men. from the vicinity of Galt and Paris.

EFFECTS -01 THE &roman—During the severe wind• storm which pievailed on Sunday afternoon last, we learn that consideeable damage was done to build- ings and fencing in the township of Us - borne. The roof was taken completely off a shed belonging to Mr. James Moir, on the fourth concession, also a portion of the roof of Mr. Robert Bell's barn, on • the same concession. The fence rails -were also mede to swirl around through the fields like straws. The severest of the • storm lasted only about twenty-. imitates. • Morris.
