of the choicest kind. ' A pleasantand

HURON COUNTY. COUNCIL
THE OUNE MEETING.
The County Council of the County of
Huron met at Goderich, on Monday last,
the .Warden in the chair. Upon the
roll being called the following members
answered to theirnames : Messrs. Young,
Gibbons, Dalton, Sheppard., Patton,
Brown, Carrick, Gibson, McGuire, Moon,
Snell, Ha,ys, Scott, Simpson, Castle,
Greenway, Yearly, Cresswell, Walker,
Wilson, Douglas, Willis, Scott, Glavin,
and Gaunt.
After the minutes of the preceding
• meeting had been read, the Warden
briefly addressed. the Council as to the
business which would probably come be-
fore them for their consideration at the
present session, referring more particu-
larly to 'school matters, the House of
Refuge and Industrial Farm, and the
Equalization of the Assessment Rolls.
A petition from Mr. Stewart and other
ratepayers of the municipality of Grey,
asking a Oonunittee to be appointed to
revise the school sections in Grey, was
read and eferred to the School Commit-
tee. A petition from Mr. Perkins and
other rat a.3iers of Uhborne of the same
natures.% the above wtas also referred to
the Scho 1 Committee, as was also a pe -
i Mr. Mowbray and others of
- Ainleyville.
[C. R. CooPsn, Ainlerrille Agent for the Ex-
rosrron Newspaper and Sob Printing Office.]
BUSINESS. Business during the past
week has been greatly on the increase,
and our merchants and others are doing
as good a trade as they have -clone any
time during the year. 'The wool market
is fairly opened and a good deal has al-
ready been brought into the market.
The competition among the buyers has
been great, and up to Wednesday noon
several buyers paid as high as 56 ets. per
lb., but in the afternoon it suddeply fell
to 52 cts., buyers 'being, a little careless
and. the farmers a little more anxious.
GREY VS. MORRIS.—On Tuescl.ay last
we were shown and measured a sample
of fall wheat that was taken out of a
field of Mr. F. Bryden's, lot 10, conces-
sion 13, Grey, which measured 28 inches
in -length. This sample was takenout
on May 27, probably about four or five
days leter than that spoken of as being
grown on Mr. George Kelly's farm, in
Morris.
REMOVED.—T. Watson, blacksmith,
has just removed into his new shop at
the bridge, which is quite an improve-
ment in that corner of the village.
RESIGNED HIS PASTORATE.--ReV. D.
Kennedy, who has been pastor of the
Wesleyan _Methodist Church for about a
year past, preached his farewell sermon
en Sunday last, he having resigned his
charge with the intention of going to
Europe for the benefit of. his health. Mr.
Kennedy, with his family, left Seaforth
on -Wednesday. This removal is much
:regretted -by his congregation,- to whom'
lie had greatly ' endeared hinaeelf during
leis brief iesiclence among them, as well
..as by the whole community, whose re-
spect and admiration he had won, as a
courteous gentleman and earnest minis -

NEW ARTICLE OF FODDER.—We were
shown last week, by Mr. Leatherland, a
specimen of French clover, which he had
obtained from a Mr. Bush, of the town.-
' ship of Logan. The stalks were fully
two feet long, with &vigorous a4clhealthy
-appearance; but seemed almost too coarse
for good. hay, which it is clainied can be
made from it. Mr. Bush imported the
seed from France, and is cultivating it
' with a view to introducing it into genera'.
-use. The advantages .claimed for, this
clover are its extremely rapid growth
and large yield. - In France, it yield's
-four crops a year, and in this country
Mr. Buell dailies that in the driest
season three can be obtained. from it.
Vire hope Mr. Bush's experiment with
with this dover may be successful, as an
article, of kidder such m this is claimed
to be would be a valuable desideratum to
-dairying and stock -raising farmers.
Tien FALL WHEAT.—We nee sorry to
learn, from rep or ts received from
every township in the South Riding of
this County; that the bright prospects
-of a large yield of fall wheat which ex-
isted early in the spring, arenot likely to
be realized. itt all parts the crop has
been very seriously damaged by spring
frosts: On high and unsheltered land it
has been most entirely ruined, while on
low and better sheltered lands the
yield may reach a low average. We ob-
serve that in Dickersmith many farmers
have pldwed 1113 large patches in their
fields and sown other grains. - We are
glad, however, that more encouraging
reports reach 'us from the North. ID
liowick; Grey, and Morris, it is expect-
. -ea that the crop will be a vele" fair one,
while in McKillop and Turnberry encour-
*-ng hopes are also eetertained, but in
laullett there is likely to be a very in;
different erop.

concurrence of the Council in the same,
was read and referred. to the Warden's
Committee. This memorial asked of the
Ontario Go-vernment to take some steps
to put a stop to the wholesale destruc-
tion of valuable timber by fire, and oth-
erwise, caused through the negligence of
lumbermen and others.
The ,following letter from the Pro-
vincial -Secretary in reference to the
Land Improvement Fund was read and
ordered to be filed :
"With reference to the petition of the
Municipal Council of the County of
Huron on the subject of the Land Ina -
prevenient Fund, I have the honor to in-
form yeu that all the moneys belonging
to the fund at the disposal of the Gov-
ernment have been distributed, and that
the disposal of that portion which had
accrued anterior to 1867 will.clepend on
the final settlement in the avaid. between
the Provinces.

all
pre iums and encouragement for
branches of industry, and artisaris of
Go -feria, if they chose to compete, could
participate in that benefit.
Mr. Castle thought the Township so-
cieties were entitled to aid as well as
were the County societies.
Mr. Gibson objected to giving the
money beoause the County societies were
only a partial benefit, as those who lived
distant from the places where exhibitions
were held scarcely ever got an. oppor-
tunity of attending,
Mr. Uresswell thought this not so. At
the' Spring Shows several imported horses -
were exhibited, and the stock of many
of these horses would go back to Howick.
He might say that the County of. Perth,
and other counties, gave annually grants
similat to that which he -wee asking.
Upon a division being taken, the mo-
tion was carried, by a majority of 23 to
nine.
To the Wal•den of the Couitty of Illtron. :
It is not improbable that some matters
relating to School Seethen boundaries,
and to the formation of new sections as
well, may be referred to the County
Council at its present session. I trust
you will therefere bear with me while I
-offer one or. two suggestions on the mat-
ter. It may happen that to gain certain
ends parties will appeal to the Council,
trusting to secure those ends by arbitra-
tion. Now, although it is, perhaps,
well enough that the new School Law
makes provision for arbitration, it should
be kept itt mied that alterations in the
boundaries of on.e section, and particular-
ly the formation of a new one, may re-
sult in a general remodeling, consequent-
ly arbitrators would require to know well
the whole township, at least so far as
waste lands and available roads are con-
cerned. in order to make sure that their
action would not cripple aiaothersection.
" In some places alterations would be
beneficial, at the extreme limits of sev-
eral sectio'ns are entirely too remote
from the centre, and I would suggest
that if any alteration or remodeling is to
be made it should be done promptly, so
that people may be able to know
whether to build school houses or not.
The,idea of a remodeling of sections has
in some way got abroad, and sections
building new school houses get no great-
er Credit for doing so than that they are
buililing merely to keep the section as it
exists. Itt some sections, and I could
name more than one, the trustees and
people are not only willing to build, but
they see the necessity of building new
school holu.ses, and would do so too, but
they are afraid lest a change should be
made after building which would render
a second. building necessary. I trust
this uneasiness may be removed by our
various' councils, by promptly making
alteratio-ns where necessary, and letting
people understand there is likely to be
some -permanence in school sections.
Were this uneasiness all:ea ed until good
school houses were built in every sec-
tion, there would be less trouble after-
wards." ARCHIBALD DEWAR,
School Inspector.
-ODD FELLOWS' VISIT.On Tuesday
sevening last, quite a number LI the mem-
bers of Fidelity Lodge, L 0. 0. F., of
this place, paid a Visit to the Brothers of
Clinton Lodge. A few hours were most
pleasantly spent in the lodge -room, after
the closing of which all repaired -to the
tineen'.6 Hotel, where a most sum ntuous
rgpa.st awaited them, which eaected
.great credit on the, hostas, Mrs. Patter-
son, notwithstanding the impromptu
ratinner in which it had been prepared.
After doing ample justice to the good
'things provided, the chair was taken by
W. Brother Williams, who proposed the
toast of the evening, ---e'• The health and.
continued prosperity of Clinton Lodge,"
which was* xesponcled to in o most feeling
and. impressive manner by N. G. Brother
Foster. Other toasts were proposed and
responded te in a maener most suitable
and tPpropriate to the oecasion. All
seemed to enjoy themselves to the full-
est extent; and as it was drawing close
to the "wee Gina' hours," each returned
to their respective homes, with the firm
belief that utak visits and evenings thus
spent tend greatly to streegthen our.
Friendship, Love arid Truth, the throe
great links of Odd Fellowship.

Wet. "Weasels, Clerk.
Rev. Mr. Young, of the village of
Manchester, in the township of Hullett,
addressed the Council sohciting aid for
n indigent person named Mel`tougall, at
resent a resident of the township of
Hullett, and who is now mainly support-
cl by private charity, obtained, through
the personal exertions of Mr. Young.
The case is one of much hardship, and
the particulars of which, as given by Mr.
Young before the Council, are as follows:
It seems that during the early part of
last winter Mr. Young overtook this old
• man on a road near Manchester, and
finding him in a. very destitute condition
took him to his own house. Not being
able to keep him himself, he applied to
the Councilof the to-wnship of .Efullett
for aid. This Council refused to grant
aid as they did not consider the old man
as properly belonging to that township
as Mr. Young had found him in the
township of East Wawanosh and merely
brought him to his (Mr. Young's) house
in Rullett. • Mr, Young thereupon ap-
plied. to the East Wawanosh Council.
The Council refused, to grant any aid,
stating to Mr. Young that he had better
apply to the Council of the township of
Colborne, as the old. -man had formerly
been a permanent resident ofethat town-
ship. Upon being appliecl to the Col-
borne Council refused to grant assistance
as he had, left that township and they
considered he had no Olain1 upon them.
This Council receinmended Mr. Young
to apply to the Stanley Council, as they
stated. McDougall had. resided a number
of years in that towhship, and at one
time had been possessed of considerable
property there. -Upon applying to the
Stanley Council Mr. Young was told
that McDougall had sold his property in
that township some years ago, and had
, not been a resident of that township
since that time, and. referred him again
to the Hullett Council. Upon applying
again to the Hullett Council he received,
at different times two grants of $10, and
was -further informed that be need ex-
pect no more from them, and so
resort he now applie.d. to the
Council for aid.
Mr. Gibson thought that un
steps were taken to settle the ni.
the House of Refuge, in theint
humanity the Council outht to do some-
thing for the old man. He thought it
unjust, under the circumstances, for the
townships in the neighborhood of where
the old Man had lived to refuse aid: His
township has had. many such +es. and.
he would scorn the idea of turning tam

Mr. Gibbons did not object to this
grant, as he thought anything which
would tend to advance the. agricultural
interests of the County should. be en-
conaged. He would, say, however, that
there was a Horticultural Society in God-

to some aid. If this grant which was be-

given, the people of Goderich would have
to contribute towards it and would. re-

thought the society in which they' were
intereeted. should receive some considera-

Mr. Cresswell thought that if mo-ney
