our readers to an advertisement in atn
other column announcing a lecture in the

stitute, by Mr. McLachlan, of Montreal.
The lecture will no doubt be an able arid
interesting one, and. we hope to see it
liberally patronized. by Our citizens. As
will be seen, the press of Montreal spealis
in the highest terms of the abilities of the
lecturer as well as of the lecture itself.
IfehEL CHANGE. -Mr., Thomas ICenix,

cluding the beildings, was; we believe,

the largest building -that formerly oc-
cupied by Mr. Meyer as a saddler's

A HANDSOME PRESENT.The members
of the Wesleyan Methodist congregation
of this Tillage have been made the re-
cipients of a very handsome present from
their Pastor, Rev. Mr. Lavelle. The
present is a beautiful and costly siher
- Sacramental Service. The managers of
the cherch invited.'the members thereof
to a stcial entertainment in the school
room adjoining the church bin:ding, on
the evening of Thursday last The
service was presented for the inspection
of those present, and was Much and de-
servedly admired. Suitable refresh-
inenta were provided, ancl a most agree-
able evening was spent
PRESENTATION AND ADDRESS. On
Sunday last the teachers of St. James'
Sunday &drool, Seaforth, presented Mr.
John Walsh with a beautiful volume
accompanied by an address, as a token
of their appreciation of his services-. The
address was read and presentation made
in the Church after Sunday School was
over. Mr. Walsh replied to the address
in a suitable manner- thanking the
teachers for the honor done him, end
wishing them every emcees in their
Christian work. The teachets of St.
James' Sunday School will miss Mr.
Walsh from among them,, as he was a
true and earnest worker in the cause of
Christian edneation, as he has proved
himself by his untiring efforts and per-
aeverence during his connection with the
Sunday School.
MARKET,TEES.-WOUld it not be well
for our business men to take some steps
with a view to abolishing, for the coming
year, the system of collecting market
fees? This systexn. of placing a tax upon
trade in the shape of market fees -seems
to us an. exceedingly foolish one. Our
merchants and business men spend hund-
reds of dollars annually in endeavoring
to encourage trade -to come to our village,
and still they retain in operation a sys-
tem which is calculated to drive it
away. If the finances of the town were
in such a cendition that the collection of
market, fees wee necessary for the par -
poses ot revenue, there would be some
reason for retaining the system. But,
when such is not the case, ----when our
-village is comparatively free from debt,
and when our taxes are a mere trifle M
L emiparison to other neighboring villa.ges,
certainly think that every possible
ba rrier should be removed that has a
ter tdency to prevent trade from flowiug
fret sly into our Village. Every induce -
men t in oer power should be held out to
the f %niter to oome to deal with us. The
impoz ition of market fees is loudly and
bitterl y complained of by the farming
commu nity, and if by removing this
erievaan se we cart materially increase our
trade we should. certainly do so. We
trust, the a, that a moveineut with this
object in view will be made at once.
We N's-ouId suggest the calling of a public
meeting of the inhabitants, to consider
the advisabi'lity of settirt,,„ our market j.
free, ancl thus- offer to the firming public }
a very great additional hid uhement to I
come and trade with us.
Stanley.
FARM IIENTED. -Tar, Henrv Penfound
has rented his fine farm of two hundred
acres in the township of Stanley, near
Brucefield, to a Mr. Hunter ftw a term of
years. Mr. Penfound has sold off his
'Arm stock and implements, and has
takennp his residence in Clinton. He
thinks, and very correctly too, thM; he
can live more easily and. comfortably on
the rent of hit farm and the proceeds of
his stock than by continuing farming,
We wish him much enjoyment in his re-
tirement. -
South Huron Plowing" 'Match.
The Plowing Mateh under the auspice' s
of the South Huron Agricultural Society,
was held On Friday last, on the
farm osetli.R.obert Patterson, on the
i
London road near the village of Red-
gerville. Tbe morning was rather wet
and gloomy, but towards noon the wea-
ther cleared up, and the after part of the
day was its favorable as could be desired
for plowing operations. The land was
m excellent condition and the work done
was creditable to the plewmen engaged.
The number of spectaters present was
large, but the 'attendance of competitors
was rather limited. This may be ettri-
buted to- two causes. In the first place
the Hibbert Match was held on the same
day, and many who attended it would
have competed at this match had it not
been for this circumstance. in the
second place, the prevalence of the horse
disease prevented many from being Fires-
ent who would no doubt otherwise have
taken part in the match. Four plows
entered in the men's fleet class; five in
the men's second class; in the two
classes for boys there was only one com-
eornpetitor in each, making eleven en-
tries eltogether. ' We: were very sorry,
indeed, to see such a:meagre turn (lilt of
boys. We have heard a gooddeal Eitely
aboat Our farmers' sons preferring other
pursuits to followin- g the good old plow,
and it would appear there is too much
truth in .it, When, of all our farmers'
sons in South Huron, only two are found
turning out to compete for the very
handeome prizes offered -by the Society.
Prizes were awarded ap follows
i
First Class,. Men -Five entries--lst,
David McLean.; 2d, James Harburn;
3d, Donald Roes ; 4th, Peter McDougall.

e First Class, Boys -Iron Plows -h One

Seeend Glass, Bos -Wooden Plows -
One entry-lst, William Bell, Jr:
"Special Pi:ize, lten-William Wat-.
son.
At the conclusion of the match, the
Directors and others were hospitably en-
tertained by Mr. and Mrs. Patterson. to
an excellent supper, while the plowmen
wed others were provided for at the
Rodgerville Hotel.
As we have before remarked, it was an
exceedingly unfortunate circumstance
that both the Hibbert and. South Huron
Matches should: have been held on the
sameday. The fault of this, however,
did not rest with the Directors of the
South Huron Society. At the -meeting
of the Directors at which the day for the
metch was appointed, the Secretary of
the Ilibbert Association was present,
and stated that that association had se-
lected the previous Wednesday for their
match. This was correct enough, but,
nnfortunately, to accommodate several
'parties who wished to attend the 11 ibbert
match, the directors of that Association
changed the day, and. failed to notify the
Secretary of the change. • We make this
explanation of the circumstances of the
case, as we believe that many who were
desirous of attending -both metches felt
aggrieved at the arrangements Which had
been made. As it was, , however, the
circumstance was an unfortunate one,
and no dOubt detracted very materially
frorn the success of both matches, but
we presume it was one of those unfortu-
nate mistakes for which nobody is to
blame. We trust that on a future oc-
casion, a better understanding will be
come to between the societies, and that
there will not again be a collision of days.

best Leicester rams which were sold.
FLOWING MATCH. -The second plow-
ing match of the Hibbert AssoCiation
took place on Friday last, on the farm
of Mr. Livingstone near Cromarty. The
weather in the morning being somewhat
.wet, kept several from coining out, also
the horse disease that is among the
horses hindered some from coming for
.want of horses to plow With, neverthe-
less the match proved a great success.
The plowmen` did their work well in-
deed, on the whole the work could not be
excelled. by any match in this or any
other part of the countty: Great cred:t
is due to the President, Mr. Joseph
Reading, of Cromarty, and to the Secre-
tary and Treasurer, Mr. Wharton Hodg-
son, of Exeter, and to all the Directors
of the Association for the establishment
.of these plowing matches, as well as for
the admirable manner in which they are
condaCted. It is to be hoped that other
townships will take a pattern from them
andprofit by the .good example set by •
Hibbert. A peat number. ot spectators
were on the ground from all parts of the
'province, amongst whom was Mr. James
Trow, M. P. frit South Perth. They all
seemed. well pleased with the work done
by' the plowmen and well pleased with
the decision of the judges. The number
of entries in all were thirty-four, but on
account of the weather only twenty-five
competed. The following is a list of the
successful competitors :
Extra Class-lst, Richard Hoggarth ;

HOWICK PLOWING MATCH H i k
Plowing match was held on the 24th Oc-
tober, on Mr. William Allan's farm, near
Lakelet. Judges Messrs, Richard
Miller, Morris; Jame. Sanderson and
Thomas Heritage, Isiehick. The day
was !MeV' adapted for the match, 'which
was keenly contested. Thomas Gibson,
'Howiek, was the successful competitor
for the first prize for iron plows; Alex.
Forsyth, Morris, second • William Mc-
Kercher, third; Minks
fourth. In the second class, Themes
McLaughlan, Grey; first; Mr. Wilson's
apprentice in the flour mill, second.;
Matthew Sanderson, Ilowica,
The plowing matches are causing quite an
excitement -and will tend to denel4 our
'young -Canadian plowmen, but in the
meantime the successful competitors are
nearly all frolin the old conatry.

that -the largest. yields of roots are ob-
tained by having the drille, :for turnips

ground. intended for rents, should if pos-
sib:le, be manured eat the fall, at the

plowed under. Exceptional circumstan-
ces may arise, snail as a wet season,

CORRECTION. -In giving the names b
parties in this County who had receive
prizes at the Westera Fair, we mad
error in giving credit' to Wm. Alexander.
of Wawanosh, for the best year old road
and carriage stallion. The credit of this
should. have been given to William Alex-
ander, of Tuckersmith..
MORE hi -PROVED STOOL -We noticed
a few weeks ago that Mt. George Sproat,
of Tuckersmith, had purchased at the
Central Fair a fine:thoroughbred bull.
We have now pleasure in recording the
fact that he has made still further ad-
ditions to his fine stock of cattle. At
Mr. Christie's auction sale of thorough-
breds, of which we made mention last
week, Mr. Sproat purchased at a high.
figure one of the best four-year old heifers
sold, and. at the sale of Mr. James Mc-
Donogh, in the township of Goderich,
last week, he purchased to ren3.arkably
handsome thoroughbred animal's, one 4
two year old heifer and tieother three.
Mr. Sproat is certainly entitled to much
creditfor the efforts he is putting forth
to improve the stock ,of the country. We
trust that his purchases may be alike re-
munerative to himself an beneficial to
the public.,
CHEESE FACTORY Bn-RNE .--We regret
to record the destruction be fire of the
Cheese Factory of Messrs. J. Hickson &
Co., near Bruchtlehl. Th fire occurred
on Sunday night between 7 and 8 o'clock.
Wheu first noticed it was bursting forth
thrqugh the windows so that notwith-
standing the efforts Made by those who
gathered round there was nothing save -d.
lt seems there had been a Small iire kept
burning in --the furnace all day for the
purpose of drying the cheese, and it is -
supposed the fire must- have originat-
ed from the pipes leading from
the furnaceto the chimneY. At about
four o'clock the man in charge of the
factory paid it a visit and at that time
all seemed right. . There were 350
cheeses,worth about $2,700, in the build-
ing, all of which weie destroyed. The
building and contents cost over $2,600.
The whole was insuredfor $3,500, so that
over and above the insurance, the loss to
the proprietors will be pretty heavy.
We are glad to learn that the factory
will be rebuilt in time for next season's
business.

VESTRY MEETING. -A vestry meeting
will be held in the English Church, on
Friday next, the 8th inst., at 1 o'clock,

BOYS BEWARE. -If some of the boys
and young men that stand about some of
the church doors on a Sabbath evening
do not conduct themselves in a more
becoming manner we will certainly
make their names public.
BUSINESS. -Business has been very
good during the -past week, all our mer-
chants and bureiness men seem te have
haditheir share. The fine }weather and
good roads have brought a good mealy
out. Very nearly all the farrhe horses seem
to be affected with the diSease that is
so prevalent all over the country.
GOING AHEAD. --Building operations
are going on lively for so late in the sea-
son. Mr. Lendbeater, of the township
of Grey, is building a fine two story
store and. dwelling 24 x 60. It will be
'quitean addition in the shop line
when completed. Mr. Dolson's new
fra.me store and dwelling is all comPleted
on the outside, but he does not intend
finishing it until spring. Fishleigh &
Gerry have just completed the new ad-
dition to their store, which they will use
far a furniture show roam. } They have
also had the whole front painted, which
greatly improves the appearence. Kip -
pen and Bro. have jut opened out a
new grocery.
_ MASONIC. -(inc of those agreeable
meetings which are characteristic of the
Fraternity took place at Ainleyville, on
the evening- of Tuesday, 224 ult., the
occasion of opening of St. John's Lodge,
No. 284. The District Deputy, Grand
Master having missed his connection at
Stratford, telegraphed the 14tthren of
his inability to be present, and while
this proved a source of disapptintment,
the arrival of brethren from Wroxeter,
Winghata. Seaforth, and Goderich, after
some deliberations prompted. the formal
opening of this new olive branch of the
"mystic tie." After the opening cere-
mony had been. performed, .under such
favorable ausplees, the brethren together
with a few friends sat'down te a spread."
at Armstrong's hotel. After ample jus..tiee had been done to the variety of.good
things provided and the inner man had
been fully refreshed, . the mortal toasts,
patriotic, fraternal and otherwise, were
heartily given and responded to. Those
who had not been initiated in the mya-
teries of Masonry, could not fail to ob-
serve the cordial brotherly feeling exist-
ing among the representative Masons
present, nor could they wonder at this
on reflecting that masonry teaches -"Good
will toward all men," and has for its
guide the example of the "Great
tect" of the universe. - The remarks of
Bros. Kerr, Swa.nston, Holmes and Hodg-
son -were full of interest to the guests aa
well as to the brethren present, those of
Bros. Dray, Lee and McWilliatns highly
complimentary to the zeal of their Ain-
leyeille brethren on the success a their
opening, wishing theina full measure of
success and prosperity. Bros. Kerr,
13rown, Moffat and Hamilton entertained
the company to a neunlier of well reuder-
