TOO LATE.—Mr. fames G. Laidlaw's new advertisement has been received too late for insertion this week. Look out for it in our next. He is going to make. some • startling announcements in the grocery line. THE NEW Scrtoot Buiaisixa.—The contract for erecting the new wing to the _present school building in Seaforth has -..been awarded to Mr. Fisher. We be- lieve Mr. Fisher's contract covers the completion of the building, both brick and carpenter work. ,) GooD FOR SEAFORTH. —We were in- formed a few days ago by an extensive .carriage builder of a neighbOring town that he can buy hardware and carriage - makers' materials generally, at least 10 per cent. cheaper in Seaforth than he can either in Stratford, Mitchell or Clip - 'ton. Those in the trade who nee arti- cles of this description shouldmake a note of this. - A. NEW BRIM HOTEL.—Mr. Thomas Foster has commenced the work of exca- -"rating for the foundation of his new brick hotel, on the Davies peoperty, ad- joining: the post -office block, opposite s Hotel. We believe Mr. Foster intends prosecuting a the work vigorously and having his hotel ready for occupation early in the fall. F the township of Morris generally the Fall wheat looks well, especially on low lands. In some places that on high lands has been considerably killed out. FOR SCOTLAND. — Mr. Robert .Turn- bull, of McKillop, left on Monday, the 13th inst., on a trip to Scotland, to view once more the scenes of his youth. He sailed. from New York on Monday last. We wish him a pleasant journer and safe return. SOMETHING NEW.—The Mutual Bene- fit Life Assurance Company- of Hartford, have established a Canada Branch in con- nection with their Oonapany, and have appointed Dr. W. R. Smith, of Seaforth, rnanagerthereof. This Company ranks among the best life companies doing business inethis country, ancl the estab- lishment of a Canadian Branch will no doubt.tend to very much increase their • business. The selection of Dr. Smith for manager is a juclicious one, andwill, we have no doubt, prove beneficial to the •interests of the Company, as well as pro- fitable to the Doctor himself. • Wroxeter. [GEOlidE ErvEr., Wroxeter, Agent for the ,Ex- Poarrou Newspaper and Job Printing Office.] SHOO FLY B. B.

The regular meetings Fe to be held • (luring the season on the last Wednesday of each month. , CONCERT.—We would urge those wh6 desire a musical treat, to attend the con- cert- to to bel given in Crofton's Hall, on the ev.ening of the 24th inst.'by the Glee Club assisted by the Band. The programmes are out, and judging by them the musical "spread " will be- first- class. • LEAVING TO1VN.—Mr. J. C. Gilroy, so long known in this place, leaves in a few days to =occupy a position in 'Messrs. Hickson & (J�. 's store, Seaforth. While we are glad. to see Mr. Gilroy succeeding so well, we -' (and we believe we can speak for the whole village) are very sorry that, such a jolly good fellovr is leaving us, We wish friend Gilroy con- tinued success._ • THE NEW LIME KILN .—The large new lime kiln being erected on Mr. Wilson's .near Silver Creek, by the Me-ssrs. Slater, is now nearly .completed. It is expected the kiln will be ready for use in about a week's tithe. We understand the piciprietOrs haVe every prospect of doing a very large huainess, and that they have already received several orders for their lime from. neighboring towns. COOPERS' Siamen.—The coopers em- ployed. in the Barrel Factory of Mr. Ament, of this village, struck work on Triesday morning last. It seems that 34r. Ament had in his •einployment one cooper who did not belong to the Coop' :Union. The other employees demanded • of Mr. Ament that he should discharge this non-union hand. This Mr. Anient xefused. to do, and the men consequently -discontinued work. , . • SEEDiaea.—The majority of the farm- • ers in this vieinity have now got through -with their %nil% seeding, althouvh there enaerbe a few who lia.ve yet a little sow- ing Ito do. The seed this year, notwith- stanaing.the lateness of the season las been gotten in in zood time and splencled candition, and the fine warm -rains which we have hed this week will melee it spring up rapidly and give it such a start as will be almost certain to ensure good crops. HOTEL 'AND EATITisIG HOusE.—Mr. 0. If...Dunlop has opened a hotel and eat- ing house, in -McGinnis' block, near the railway station. He has fitted his place nip very handsomely, and has the very best accomodation. Mr. Dunlop seems to thoroughly understand his business, and. we have no doubt' but in a short time bis place will become a favorite re- sort. He also intends to have in connec- tion therewith an ice cream parlor, with suitable. apartments for `eentlercten and ladies. This is a new feature in the hotel business here, and will be duly ap- preciated by lovers of that delicious and. Xefreshing beverage. THEH URON EX.PosiToR. This department is under the personal supervision of Mr. Thomson.' the senior tueinber of the firma while Mr. Williams takes the control and management of the Agricultural Implement Departraent, THE BLACKSMITH SHOP. There is also in connection with the • establishment a large blacksmith shop. The building is 25 by 50 feet, and from ten to twelve workmen are constantly employed therein. Besides the buildings described there is a large building in which are stewed patterns of various kinds, also an oil house, in which are storedoils, paints and all combustible material. This building, is built of brick, and is perfectly fire- proof, There is also extensive stabling. ‘Ve believe that Messrs. Thomson & Williams keep constantly employed, de- livering their implements and doing other teaming, betWeen 15 and 20 spans of horses. A very large stock of lumber is also kept on hand. The nature of their work renders this necessary, as for all their implements the lumber has to be per- fectly seasoned and dry. At the present time the stook of lumber in their yard is worth over $8,000, and they are con- tinually addina to it. The benefit that this eetablishment is to Mitchell is inestimable. In fact, Mitchell wortld be nothing at allewithout it; and if the people of that village allow Stratford, or any other place, to take it from them, or even any part of it, they will riot have to live long to realize what they have lost. 'eleurch in Zurich, It is intended that the building when completedwill be an Onament to the village, The Mitchell Foundry. As many of our readers daily use im- plements manufactured _it the Mitchell Agricultural Implement and Machine Works, a short description of this estab- lishment may prove not uninteresting. A few days ago we had the pleasure of being sltewn through the various depart- inents of these works by the enterprising proprietors, Messrs. Thomson and Wli. lianas, and were much surprised at the rapid.growth of industry visible therein • within the past seven or eight years. About eight years ago Mr. Thomson be- came proprietor of what was then known • as the Mitchell Foundry. • At that time it was an exceedingly unpretentious affair. The w.hole establishment- ewes • under one oof ; 'the machinery used 'was of the most ancient and inferior kind, • and the work turned out 'DODO of the best, and there were only some nine or ten workmen employed. By dint of in- dustry, perseverance, and thorough knowledge of his bisiness, Mr. Thom- son has, since then, continued to extend his borders, until now, himself _and his partner, Mr. Williams, are in posseseion of one of the largest manufacturing es- tablishments in the Province. They now employ about one hundred and. forty skilled .werktrien, have the very best and most improved machinery, and turn out work -which, forbeauty of finish and ex- • cellence of quality, cannot easily be sur- passed. From -one small building their premises have increased to several large and commodious structures. The first through which we were shown was the MOULDING SHOP. This is a brick building, containing two floors—one 26 x 35 feet, and the other 44 x 66 feet. This building is divided • into three departments. • One depart- • ment is used exclusively for the mould- ing. of Agricultural Implement castings; the second. for mill machinery, and. the third for the castings of steam engines • and. other work. • There is, however, but • one general furnace for all the depart- ments, so that the same iron is used in the agricultural implements that is used for de steam engines and mill work. Adjoining the moulding shop is the ••PATTERN ROOM. This is a building 26x40 feet, three stories high. In this men are constantly employed making patterns for machinery, etc. This is one of the most important and particular branches of the business, and requires the most efficient workmen. In this building also Is placed large saw- ing and planing machines for cutting and dressing• lu•mber. Adjoining this are the •PLOW SHOPS. This is a building 25x40 feet, and con- tains two fiats, and is devoted exclusive - facture of the wood work lows are also put together and made ready -for the ishing shlip. Nexto this Aipley Ville. (C. R. Comma, Ainleyville, Agent for the Ex- rosrron Newspaper and JohPrinting Office.) Drvesion- 00G1T.—.Tiudge Davison pre- sided at the division court held- here on -Tuesday last. We think, from the very favorable impression made by the newly - appointed Judge, that the appointment has been very judiciously made. The docket was not „extra large, • although _there were quite a number of cases: The. court opened at 10 a.m., and all disposed of by 6 p.m. • ,Miarrerev.—Major Ross, of the Huron Battalion,' -has been in communication with .Mr. Leckie within the last two weeks, in regard to getting up a 'volun- teer company in Ainleyville and vicinity, .• as there was a vacancy in the battalion for a conmany ; and Ainleyville having expressed a desire to get up a compeny once before, but could not be accepted their, he wished to give them the first op- portunity now. • Accordingly, Mr. Lec- kie, with the assistance of Mr. P. Thompson, T. English, aud several ethers, went to work to get the com- panyup. They were very successful, and.in a day or two the full number re • • qe. 'red was obtahied, -sworn in, and on Wrerinesday evening last mustered on the Square for their first drill. Mr. Leckie is Captain of the company. We un'derstand that the persons recemmend- ed' by him for the other offices, are Messrs. Thompson and English, and we must say, that in making his appoiut- -merits, he could not have chosen two better men, andmen that will in every • respect be liked and respected by the whole company. It is, in our opinion, the very Making of a good company to have officers over them that are liked and respected by all the men. ' 'FUNERAL OF MRS. Knen.—The funeral -4)f Mrs. Kidd, a notice of whose death ap- pears in another column, took place at 10 o'dock on the morning of Saturday the 18th inst., and Was the largest ever - witnessed in this section of the country. It is seldom it has fallen to our lot to chronicle the death of a Person whose departure from among Us hal -cast such a gloom over' members of alr creeds and natiemalities, as has the death of this truly hind and Chrittian lady. The peer and needy, especially, tilll feel her ab- sence, as it may be trely said of her,. " Her charities are past count, untold." ce'. Kidd and his bereaved family have he earnest sympathy of the entire com- unity in this their .greatest bereave- - nt. Tex A:antra:WS MENA( MEIE. —Many of our readers will be -pleased to learn that Van Amburgh & Co.'s Great Golden Menagerie will. visit Seaforth. onWed- needay, the 5th of June. From informa, tion gained from pria-ate individuate mime visited this menagerie in London 1.ast week, we can recommend it to our read-, ers as the best, in evey respect, which has visited this Province. The collec- tion of - animals is large and Varied, and the performances of the actors wonderful, • and. at the same time of such a nature as should give offence to none. We predict for those who come to town ou that day .a treat, the like of which they may not again, for many yeareehave the pleasure of enjoying. The advertisement giving full particulars will appear next week. FALL WHEAT.— Mr. George Kelly, of Lot No. 22, 9th Concession, of the town- • shiptof Morris, brought into our office, on • Wednesday last, a handful of stalks of Fall wheat, Which measured, on an average, two feet in length.• Mr. Kelly informs us that he bas six acres of.this wheat, the whole of which is equally as good as the specinaen shown us. The mion which this wheat wee grown was well covered with snow all winter. and. sheltered from the Spring frosts. It • had also been in. sod for about four years, and Was plOW9cl ih the Fall and. summer: - "allowed the following season, and heavi- • ly mannred. • If this crop grows as pros- perously- until harvest as it has done thus far. Mr. Kelly will have a prolific yield. We' are also informed that throughout • ly to the man for plows. in this shop, paint and lin the ENGIN AND BOILER HOUSE, in which is a large and powerful engine. The entire machinery of the works is driven by* thii engtiae, by means of heavy shafting from one building to the other. Next comes the WOOD m.A.cm..NB SHOP, a large freme building 30x50 feet, and two anda half stories high. lu this building is made the wood work for all the agrieultural implements other than plows. • Here a regular hive of work- men are employed, in making reapers, mowers, threshing machines, fanning mills, cultivators, straw cutters, and vtirious other implements. The work • benches of the men are ranged alang the eides and ends of the building, on both flats, aud the centre is kept for placing the work after it is finished.- and ready to put together. From this we proceed to the • IMPLEMENT MACHINE SHOP. IMPORTATION •DIRECT. --' The largest direct importation..from the Old Country ever reeeived in .Ainleyvillee has been arriving for the last weekpast for Messrs. Stewart, Thompson & Go., con- sisting of dry goods and ready-made" clothing, etc. . . • MORE WOOL BUYERS are in the mar- ket: Stewart, Thompson & Co., also J. McIntosh, cif the Woollen factory, are advertising to pay the highest matket price in cash. Farmers may be sure of getting- the very best price for their wool this summer in Ainleyville. Mn. COOPER visited London last week, in the interest of the congregation of the Church of England at Ainleyville and Walton, toseettlis Lordship the Bishop of Huron, in regard' to. their obtaining a minister after the ordination, which takes place the first weekin June. His Lordship informed. Mr. Cooper that Ain- leyville was the first on the list to be supplied, and th. they should have one by the fleet of July •next. Hullett A ;BIG LAMB. —Mr. Charles Lawrie, of the Stli concession of Hullett, has -a twin lamb which, at nine weeks oll, weighed 90 pounds. If this lamb con- tinues to grew at the same ratio as it has done until its growth is full, it will be very apt to carry .off some prizes at the County Shows. Kippen. NEW" MANSE. —The Tembers of Mr. Eakin's congregation -at Kippen • intend, 'during the . coming summer,- to erect a handsome and. commodious brick manse for the use of their pastor. The site chosen is alongside the church,: on the west side. •The material has been.pur- chased, and. tenders for .its construction are new- asked for. The building is to be 26 x 36 feet, and one ami a half stories high.. Plans and specifications of the proposed building can be seen at the re- sidence .of Mr. Robert Bell. Tenders w41` be received until the 5th day of Jun. • Zurich. Vooa.—Messrs. J. & W. Grandy, of Zurich, have already opened the wool market. They are prepared to pay the highest price in cash for any amount of merchantable nod delivered at their .store. NEW" CHURCIL —Arrangements are be- etle cotnpleted for the commencement of Tuckerenaith• AGENT APPOINTED.—Mr. John Cope- land, of Kipper', has been appointed agent for the sale of Patterson & Bro.'s agricultural implements in Tuckersmithe Mr. Copeland will likely do a good busi- ness in this line, as he is well knoivn and well liked bY the farming community, and. his word can be relied upon. This firm have been fortunate in securing him as their agent. Council, MEETING. —Council met May 10, in the village of Egmondville, at the hour of 10 o'clock, A. M., as a Court of Re- vision, pursuant to public notice given. No appeals being presented against the assessment for the present year, the Court examined. the assessment roll and having found it correct, passed the same acCordingly ; the Court then adjourned. . This is a building 40x96 feet, with three floors. On the ground floor are placed; the lathes and -other machinery for turning, polishing, fitting and finish ing the running gear of the varioue im- plements manufactured. The degree of efficiency to which the machinery in this department has been brought is alinest surprising. The different, puts of each machine „turned out of the shop are made. with the same tools, and are consequent- ly exactly the same in each Machine. The benefit of this will be apparent when we say that if any part of a machine or ianplement should break or wear out, the same part could be got new to fit as ex- act as did the old. Even suppose a ma- chine were purchased now, end ten years hence a portion of that machine were to breae or give out, a new part could- be • furnished which would fit as well as the old, without taking the .machine to the Work -shop at all. This department is under the supervision of an experienced machinist, who ha e nothing to attend to but to see that the work in ,his shop is properly done, " and. that no machine leaves the shop that is not in every re- spect perfect and in good running order. • Thiti is the most iin.portant department • in the whole establishment. As upou the gearing of a- machine depends its ef- ficiency more than anything else, and we were glad to observe that Messrs', Thom - eon & Williams have everything.arranged to secure as nearly as possible, perf- tion in this department Next is the MAY 24 1872.

Ihrndaim Mum, Clerk • BRICK. ENGINE SHOP. , This is a brick building 38x74 feet, and. was constructed specially for the manufacture of- steam engines. This is a comparatively new branch of the busi- ness, but has proven very successful and. remunerative. • It is not yet quite two years since the first engine was turned out of the establishment. Since that time ever 70 engines have been builtand sold, and. there are now orders on liana for eight more. This, in itself, is. suffi- cient to prove that the engines manufac- tured by the fi an are taking a high po-' sition, The next building we shall no- tice is that in which is situated the OFFICE; SHOW ROOMS, AND MILL-WRIGHT - SHOP. • This is. a large frame building facing on the street. It is 40. by 86 feet, and contains three floors. On the 'central floor, or that which communicates di- eectly with the strbet is the business of- fice and show rooms. . We noticed in the shoet room a large number of single and combined -reapers and mowers, be- sides several other kinds of implements, all apParently ready for delivery. The mill-wright shop is on the ground fiat and is large and roomy. This is a branch of their business in wle:ch the firm have been very successful. They have erected • and furnished the -machinery for some of the largeit and -best mills fir the Pro- vince, and they. are at the present time th; erection of a large new brick Catholic busily engaged at several large- contracts. McKillop. OBITUARY. — We •regret much being called. upon this week to record the death of Mr. John Murdie, son of Andrew Murdie, Esq., of MeKillop. The sad event took place on Stmday night last. Mr. Murdie had, for some years, been engaged most successfully as a school teacher but last fall he abandoned. tbat profession to devote hnnself exclusively to the study of mecheine. About six months ago he went to Ann Arbor, Michigan'and entered the medical col, lege of that place, and had just returned after prosecuting his studies during his first collegiate course' ' to his home to spend the vacation. A few days after his return he took suddenly ill,, and from which illness he never recovered, al- though all that medical skill could do was done for him. Young Murdie was a person of exemplary habits and good ability, and had his life be spared be would undoubtedly have become an or- nament to the profession which he had. chosen, and made his mark in the world. While pursuing his calling as a teacher, we have frequentlY been laid under obligations to him for contributons to our local columns. He was buried in the Harpurhey burial ground on Tuesday last, and his funeral was very largely attended. by sorrowing relatives and friends., .
