Britannia Lodge, Seaferth, is represented. by Brother James Hatt. GOOD FOR NICKILLOP. — M. Barnet Zurns, of McKillop, is likely to become renowned, not only for his long flax but also for his tall wheat. This gentleman brought to our Office on Thiersday last a number of stalks of Fall wheat, of the -Treadwell variety, which measured five feet seven inches in length. Mr. Burns :informs us tat the stalks referred to are a fair sample of a •large field. This speaks well for .McKillop. A GOOD GARDEN.—Mr. J. p. Brine, nf Hurpurhey, has one of the finest flow- er and vegetable gardens in this vicinity, Iris fruit, vegetables and, roots cannot . be surpassed and the neatness, clean- ness, and order in which everything is • kept would do credit to the best profes- sional gardener—scarcely a weed or .extra blade of grass being yistble from .one end to the other, not even in the fence corners-. His onions, carrots, let- tuce and beets are the finest we have .seen this year. faNCERT.—The eencert, under the auspices of • the Canada Presbyterian Church, held in the .Town Hall, last Monday evening, was a decided Sumps, both as regards attendance and 'the char- acter of the entertainment. The musical efforts of Misses Bay and McTavish and - of Messrs. Dalziel, Cline and paltridge were well received by the audience, who testified their approval by enthusiastic .applause and numerous encore. Mrs. dGeorge Gibson presided at the organ, and played with taste and brilliancy. The lecture by Mr. Dalziel; on "Burns and • the Ballad Writers of Scotland," was an eloquent eulogy of the peasant poet, and a masterly exposition of the effect of the *Ailed poetry of a ruttier' in moulding its • character and in directing the genius of its people. • MERCHANTS, BEWARE. —It would be • well for our merchants to see that their stores are properly secured at night, and • enot leave money or other valuables in • their safes without being properly pro- tected. There seems to be a gang of burglars at work in this vicinity, and all •'proper precautions should be taken to prevent them gaining anything by their nefarious calling in our village. 'Clinton, Carronbrook, Mitchell, Stratford and St. Marys have each been visited, and at- • tempts made—and in some cases success- fully—to secure plunder. Seaforth need. • not expect to be passed over, as there is no doubt but the land has already been spied out, and it would, therefore, be well for all to be prepared to give these customers a fitting reception, should they take a notion to pay a visit to any of our • 'business men during the silent watches -of the night .

We presume that other speakers wig also be present at each of the -meet- . flags. Carronbrook. . ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. —On Tuesday night last, the store of Mr. Thomas • King, of Carronbrooke was entered by burglars, and an attempt made to break open the safe. •The scoundrels had bored Into the door of the safe for the purpose of making a hole in which to insert pow- der to blow the safe open. Fortunately, however, for Mr. King, the bit with which the hole was bored broke in. the - bole, and consequently foiled the attempt to destroy the safe, Upon the bit etroaking, the -burglars evidently left without making any further -attempt to open the safe. There were no goods missed from the store,. and the object of the burglars was no oubt to get money, and failing in this, they left in disgust. The sale contained about $150. The en- trance to the store was effected biburst- Mg in the front door. • The Kippen Mowing Match. • The ,twelfth annual mowing match, • under the auspices of the Huron Farmers' Association, was held. at ICippen on the farm of Mr. Peter Cooper, on Wednes- day last. The • match was the most successful which has yet been held. by • the Society. The weather was fine, and the attendance of spectators and com- petitors was very large. Work was to have been commenced at one o'clock •sharp, but it was nearly three before the machines were admitted. into the field. This delay, howaver, was unavoidable. and arose from a ealuse which must have been moet gratifying to the members of the Society and all interested. in its wel- • fare. The number Of machines entered • for competition was much larger than had been expected, and on this account the field selectel was considered too small to afford a fair test to all the ma- chines. • The Directors used every exer- tion to secure another convenient and more suitable field, but failed, and were compelled to stake the field first chosen, and divide to each machine a smaller parcel of land. This caused the delay above al., luded to. The fielcl arid the crop were in fine order .for working, ancl it took ,but a, very short time for the machines to lay low the plot of grass apportioned • to each. The grass which was principally clover, with a thin. sprinkling of timothy, was standing very straight and rather thin On the ground. The work done by each machine was really good, and we are , sure the Judges must have had a difficult task to decide which machine did its work the best. , Of com- bined machines there were six entries, and of single mowers seven entries. The following is a list of the machines enter- ed, together with the manufacturers names and the place of manufacture: COMBINED MACHINES. Ball's Buckeye, Eastwood & Co., In- gersoll ; Ball's -Buckeye, Crawford & Co. London ; Ohio Buckeye, B. Bell & Son, St. George; Dominion Harvester, J. Forsyth, Dundas ; St. George Improved; D. M.

Potter,Elora; Cayuga Chief, Jr., Thomson & Wil- liams; Mitchell; Cayuga, Jr., Mower, Patterson e& Bro., Patterson ; Cayuga Chief, Jr., Thomson & Williams, Mit- chell. • The prizes were awarded as follows: COMBINED MACHINES. lst—St. George Improved, D. M. Potter, - Elora;' 2nd --Ball's Buckeye, Eastwood & -Co., Ingersoll; 3rd—Ohio Combined, Thomson & Williams, Mit- chell. • SINGLE MOWERS. lst—Cayuga, Jr., Mower, Patterson & Bro. ; 2nd- Cayuga Chief, Jr.; Thomson & Williams; 3rd—Cayuga Chief, Osha wa Manufacturing Company. • In giving their decisions the Judges took into consideration efficiency in cut- ting, combined with lightness of draught. We may also state, that in deciding be- tween the single mowers which took the first and second , prizes, the Judges had considerable difficulty. • The Patterson machine having cut the, grass lower and barer, but the Mitchell. machine .being very considerably lighter' of draught, caused the difficulty' in deciding. The draught -of the former machine was 142 'pounds, while that of the latter was 91 pounds. After considerable considera- tion, however, the decision as above stated was arrived. at. With regard to the durability of the machifies, the ,Thelges handed M the following REPORT. '§ • We the Judges of the mowing match held at Kippen on the 10th 'July, 1872, wish to say with regard to the darabili- ty of - the machines competing at said match, that not being practical mechan- ics, we are not able to decide which ma chine is preferable, without seeing them in operation. We have pleasure in tes- tifying to the iniProvements exhibited in several- machines, but beg to decline deciding as to which is moskalurable. • JAMES MAHAFFY, Tuckersmith. litrarrunaw SNELL, Hullett. 1 •• JAS.

RE -BUILDING. —Mr. John Gemmill, of Turnberry, whose saw mill was 'destroy- ed by fire a short time ago, expects to have a new one erected and in running order shortly. Such enterprise- is em- endable. and we know that Mr. Gem - ill's numerous customers -will show 'their appreciation. OPEN TEMPLE. —Don't forget the open :temple next Monday. A choice pror gramme, musical and literary, will be on hand. Ple-Nrc.—Friday, the 12th inst , is to be kept as a general holiday in this vil- lage. The stores are to be closed, and our business men and villagers in gener- al intend to seek recreation by joining a grand pic-nic, to be held on the flats of the river west of the village. Poerneae.—The political campaign in this Riding may be said to have fairly commenced, though the candidates have not yet been on the "stump" Both parties seem to be doing their best to se- cure the triumphant return of their re- spective candidates; but,. on close ob- servation, we are decidedly of the opin- ion that either one party or the other will - be disappointed. We have heard many others express the same opinion: Blyth. • A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS. — On Thursday of last week, while Mr. A. Lawrence was working at the new house of Mr. Thomas Combs, he cut his knee very severely, and will thereby be pre. vented from attending to his ordinary • avocations for some time. We also regret to learn that on Saturday last as Mrs. Dr, Sloan Was walking' along the street she trippedj on a stick and fell heavily on her bhuuldbr, severely fracturing her , ;‘ , THE HURON EXPOSITOR. shoulder blade. On Monday last a horse belonging to *Mr. Alexander Young be- came frightened at a piece of paper which was lying on the road. Mr. Young, in order to pacify the animal, took him by the head, when ho was knocked down under the horse's feet, and was for a time in imminent danger of being tram- pled upon. Fortunately, however, he escaped. from his perilous position .unin- injured. ili11143YV111(3. [C. R. COOPER, Ainleyville, Agent for the Exe eosrron N+spaper and Job Printing Office.) A Goon APPOIN TM EN T . —We learn that Mr. John. McRae, of the Township of Morris, has been appointed by the On- tario Government to reefalue the Crown Lands in the Counties of Huron and Bruce, and has already commenced his duties. A better appointment than this could not have been made, as Mr. Mc- Rae, from his long residence in this sec- tion of the country and his intimate ac- • quaintance with most of the lands which he will be called upon to revalue, com- bined with his sound judgment, is pecu- liarly fitted:for the position. PERSONAL.—. M. Livingstone and family left here Thursday morning, on a two weeks' tour to the 'Western States. Mr. Livingstone intends visiting Chicago, St. Louis and St. Paid. LARGE GR owns OF • WHEAT, —We were this week shown a sample ef,_ Ball's Treadwell wheat, the heads .of which averaged 71 ific,hes in length. It was grown onl lot 8, Concession 10. Grey, by Mr. J. Hill, and, we must say,is a splen- • did sample: Mr. Hill has a large quan- tity of this wheat sown, and this was a fair specimen of the whole field. WOOL. —The wool seaion in this neigh- boihood may be considered pretty nearly over. The amount purchased by our merchants is very large, still it is hardly up to their expectations in quantity, • though the quality is better than in for - mere years. The following shows the quanity taken in by our princiPal buy- ers, with the amount paid per pound: N. M. Livingstone bought here 6,000 pounds, and from dealers in Wroxeter 4,000 pounds, making in all 10,000 for which he paid an average' price of ao3 cents a pound; Strachan 4,t Snlith bought 3,800 pounds, at 50 cents per pound; Stewart, Thompson & Co., 3,300 pounds, at 52 cents; D. McIntosh, of the woolen factory, 2,000 ponnds, at 52 cents, making a total of 19,100 pounds. Ralawa.v.,—The work of constructing the Wellington, Grey and Bruce Rail- way is pr gressing rapidly, and we have every rea on to believe, from present ap- pearances that the road will be open for traffic to this poitit this fall, if not through to -Wingham. -- We hear that the London, Huron and Bruce Railroad Board has recom- mended the Great Western Railroad Company -to adopt the Central route (or what is c lied the Central Route), via Clinton o Wingham, but ' the Great ,Western ave not.yet acted on the rec- ornmend.a ion, and we -think are not likely to, f they look to their own in- terests an 1 the interests of the City of „London. -- We also hear of immense bonfires and discharges of caenon, &c., in Clin- ton and Illy th. It is said the Blyth- ites made sad havoc of the anvils itt the blacksmiths' shops, and that there is not a pound a gunpowder left in the place. We would advise them to pre- serve the ashes of their bonfires, as they may require to Use them on a future oc- casion, when son ae of the localities on the Eastern route might be generous enough to supplythem with sackcloth. • DUAIINION Da:v.—The celebration of Dominion Day was a great success in every respect. The day was everything that could be wielied. for. A fine shower . early in the morning- laid the dust and _also cooled the air for the greater part of the day. At an early hour quite a large number ofpeople had congregated to en- joy the dai, s sport. • The horee.racing, i being the rst on the programme, began about 10 o'Clock, and was -carried out very Successfully. For the first running race f there were four entriea. This was the finest riaatch of the daY, the horses being well matched and. in good conditionand was very closely contested in all" the heats. The first trotting race was not. a No. 1 trot,! but the second race was a great impr vement on the first, the heats being clos ly • contested 'between Arm - Aron a's .D lly Varden and Tufts' Danc- ing Molly. Dolly trotted the two straight heats without breaking, Molly - pushing her close _n both beats, but breaking badly seve al times. There was some loud talklugduring the day, and before. night several knock -downs took 'place, but, in general, the day passed off 'very creditably. At 6 P. M.„ Captain Leckie mustered the volunteer company on the square. They were put through quite a number of exercises,and were then marched t rough the streats, acquitting themselves very creditably..

Although the gathering was not so large as was expected, yet a good day's sporfi was enjoyed. A dancing platform was erected for the' occasion, where the terpsichorean estivities were 1 kept up du ing the clay. Athletic and other -game were prominent features of the day's prbceeclings.

SIR,—Having heard that a port is in circulation in the Centre ing of Huron, to the effect that I halve been making overtures to the Conserva- tive party, for the purpose a induci g them to bring me out on the independ nt ticket, in opposition to the pres nt nominee of the Riding,—I am not am. re from what source such report has em n- • ated, but know that it is current in c r- tain quarters,—I, therefore, take t e very earliest opportunity of contradicti g • it, and now most emphatically at te that such report is false. On the c n- trary, I have had overtures made to • e by members of that party, tendering sup- port, were I to come out on the inde- pendent Reform ticket, and my positive answer has always been :- that, if I ever aspired to such a position, it would, and could 'only be on a purely Reform pl t. form, and vindicating Reform principles • as I understand them.

Beneath this rand a purp cloth lie, Whose sad demise blured many an eye, Her wag was short, her list'ners gay, Her motto was "no work, all play." Poor Grouse, her brief cateer on earth Had trouble mingled with its mirth; Hot eggs did oft her taster burn, Then nectar did to wormwood. turn. Then o'er the lawn, in frolic free, She played with children, one, two, three, • And sometimes, too, the young school • mann Would yield to the resistless charm. But now, alas! the frolic's o'er, .And we shall. see our dog no more, For underneath this sod she lies, lier toenails pointing to the skies. One night, without a warning given, • Our anxious hearts were hoftor riven, - To see her snarp her bites together. And make the foam fly like a feather. Poor dog, her snarps got gettin' louder, Spite of milk and yeller powder, Till she snarpecl her last one day And died akickin' in the clay. - The sounds of grief now greet our ears, The clouds send. down a food of tears, As to the grave with mein of woe Our dog's procession mo-veth slow. And now, ye dogs of fashion, see What changed condition waiteth ye, And drop your wags, and skin your eye, And make your will, for you must die. AINLEYVILLE, June, 1872.
