A NEw Boma—A lady will be in
town during the coming week canvass-
ing for a new Canadian work, entitled
"Wreck of the White Bear," by Mrs.
Ross. of Montreal, authoress f 11`. Violet
Keith.". This book is spoken highly of
by the press generally, and is, we be-
lieve. a most interesting, well -got -up and
handsomely illustrated work. It has al-
ready gone through four editions, and
the fifth is uow being pre-parod. This
in itself is sufficient to recommend it to
public attention.
The Public- Meeting.
MARKET FEE -IS TO BE REMOVED—THE FIRE
ENGINE QUESTION—MANUFACTURES.
In compliance with a requisition, a
publid'ineeting of the ratepayers was
called by the Reeve on Tuesday evening
last. The object of the meeting was.
• first, to receive and consider the report
^ of the Council with regard to securing
means for the better protection of prop-
erty in the village from fire; second, to
consider the advisability of recommend-
ing the Council not to impose market
fees for the coming year ; third, to con-
sider the proposal of the Ontario Flax
Growers' eAssociation. -Mr. Benson,
Reeve, occupied the chair, and Mr. Mc-
Lean acted as Secretary. There was a
large attendance of ratepayers and others
present . The following report of the
Council was real:
" Having made enquiries respecting
what is known as the Wateroes system,
where water is forced throuehi pipes le •
steam to different parte Of the town, our
opinion is that although it may be. eflis
cient, it can- Only be introduced at great
expense in a village situated as Seaforth
is.. From circulars furnished by manu-
facturing finns in Canada, Great Britain,
and. the United States, we give you a
list of prices of aome of the machines fur-
nished by them. First—Hand engine,

Twenty feet only of hese supplied with

sizes are raa.nufactured by this firm at
the arribes of -$64a $950, and
$1,050. Warranted to throw water .from
130 to 160 feet, and requiring front 1,1 to
24) men. .Secorei-eSteam engines manu-
factured by Menywea-ther & Son, Eng-
land, cost from £90 to £1,140 at the
manufactory. This company manufac-
ture six different sizes at the following
. priees, £390, £480. 045, mo, £780,
and $1.149. The foregoing engines are
warranted to throw from150 to 200 feet.

Med, rs. Hayes, Wilson, Paltridge,
Rev. • r. Starr and others addressed the
meetin . Mr. Hayes strongly advocated
the pre chasing of a fire -engine, and the
adopti n of some means whereby the I
brine f ein either of the salt wells could '
be con eyed to certain parts of the vil-
lage fo4 the supply of the engine, in case
of fire! All the other speakers fully re-
• cognizefl the necessity of adopting means
for the' rotectiOn of property from fire,
but so , e were of opinion that the use of
salt e in an engine would soon cor-
rode anl destroy it, and Others suggested
that th brine could be forced from a
main rservojr at the works into hy-
drants bnd thus meet the'ends required
withon the use of a fire -engine. flew -
ever, t e result was that e resolution
was pas ed adopting the report Of the
Uouncil and appointing a committee to
act wit •the Council to fully' mature a
plan f4 the protection Of the village,
and sub it the scheme to the ratepayers
for ther .approval. The .Committee ap-
pointed to act with the -Council is com-

market f es question, the following reso.
lution s carried almost unanimously,
there bei a but three �r four- hairdo held

Moved by Mr. Hill and seconded by
Mr. Mc ean, That we, the ratepayers of
Seafortli, consider the imposition of Mar-
ket fees rejudicial to the interests of -

The He tingof the Public School
To the Et dor of the Huron Expositor. .
Will y nu allow me a space in your col-
umns to jefer to the disgraceful way in
which t e Seaforth priblic school is
warmed r heated. • The Trustees have
discovere some new-fartgled sort of
heating pparatus, by which they man-
age to ke p the children attending the
school ari 1 the teaehers in a constant
state of iscomfort and often in a condi-
tion of .00:itive suffering. I am informed
thet on s , me of the coldest days we have
had this eation, in some ofthe rooms no
heat wh ever was obtainable from the
registers, • while in others the children
were alit] st roasted out with exceseive
heat. I mealso informed . that, every
now and then, this patent heating ar-
rangemen throws donde of Smoke into
the room , so that eindows and doors
i will be onderful indeed if

have to 0: opened to get rid of it. Be,

much pro rem is made by the echolars
in their s udies. The attendance, I am
informed, has fallen off more than 25 Per
cent., 011 CCOUllt of this improper beat-
ing, and,' of couree, the Government
grant will fall off proportionately. Be-
sides the discOmfort to teachers .and
scholars, he danger is a very serious
matter. i About two weeks ago, ,the
school bui ding came nearly being burned

WEATHER.— We have had quite a fall

,COURT. :—The I session of this

Honor Judge Brough, The usual num-
ber of knotty cases', upon all imaginable
subjects were on hand. Messrs. Squier,
of Goderich, and Meyer, of Seaforth,
were in attendance. •

THE BUTTER, QUESTION. —The mer-
chants of Wroxeter held a meeting last
week to prepare an agreement for the
regulation of the Butter trade. ..Some
were in favor of adopting the resolutions
passed at Seaforth, in, toto, but others
thought there was too great a difference
in the price of the. different wades, and.
finally the following agreement . was en-
tered into : "We, the Undersigned
merchants, of the Village of Wroxeter,
being desirous of remedying the evils
connected with the present system of
purchasing butter, and encouraging the
manufacture of -a better article, hereby
bind ourselves not not to purchase any
butter after the 17th day pf November
•
1872, unless it has been reviously in-
spected by a duly appoin ed 'inspector,
and will pay for it at pric s which may
be,froro time to time agreed upon, al-
ways Making a_difference of three cents
between each class. .The Inspector shall
dui all merchantable butter. as No. • 1,
2, or 3, and all such as is not fit for hu-
man food he shall put down as "grease,"
and shall receive the following fees for
inspecting; to be paid first by the pro-
ducers, and afterwards refunded to them
by the purchasers, viz., for all lots of
buttereiot exceeding 75 pounds, at the
rate of one-fifth of a cent per pound ; for
packages over.75 pounds, 15 cents per
package, providing that the fee in no case
shall be less than two cents. We agree
further for the present to pay the fol-
lowing rates, viz.: for. 1st class, 13.cents
per pound; for 2d class, 10 cents per
pound; for 3c1 class, 7. cents per pound ;
for grease. any price. Signed—A. Hood,
W. Bradley, John Sander -eon, A. Veal."
INSPECTOR.—Mr. Edgar iVealhas been
appointed butter inspector for Wroxeter.
We are confident a hetter.man for the
place could not have been chosen. •
ANOTHER SWINDLE. — We heard a
fanner the other ay., in talking overthe
action of our merchants on the butter
question, remark, " Oh, it' e just another
'swindle, a piece of regueryi !" Some of
he fanners are, or pretend to be, of the
pinion that merchants and business
nen have hardly any other object in this
vorld than to fleece the. pooi‘ invoant
itrmer. Such people are continually
nding some mare's nest or other and
Ae linon their neighbors to come and
ount.the , eggs. We have heard nme-
ers of farmers, and their wives, talk As
hough the new arrangements on the
utter question were nothing but a
Venother swindle,'" got Up by an in-
erested *-` ring" for the purpose of, cheat -
g the producers. It hes long been a
atter- of wonder to us, . knowing the
isabilities under which Merchants have
een working in the butter trade, and
hewing the quality of the ghase that is
metirries brought to market and design -
ted "butter," that the buyers did not,
ng before this time, adopt some silch
an to protect themselves from loss.
o any one who 'looks at both sides of
e question, the late action of the mer -
ants will appear to be' anything but
nfair or remature. There is one very
mole e
rut
, by the observance of which
utterma ers may protect themselves
om any apparent unfairness in ;the new
gulatioes, and that is " make first class
der and you will get a first-class
ice.!'WROXETER 'MECHANICS' INSTITUTE--

Dairying and Pasturage.
To the Editor of the _Huron Expositor.
I see by your last .papet that Mr.
Malcolm has undertaken the task of in-
structing the. farmers Of Huron in the
matter of dairying for profit.He 'de-
serves our thanks for devoting his winter
leisure to our edification, aS well as for
his 'energy in developing our dairy pre-
cincts.
Mr. Malcolm's first reason for the su-
perior dairying of New York State is
that "cows _ere the hobby of New York
dailman, being the only thing they pee -
tend to make money from." ' The qual-
ity of our land -does not warrant us to 'go
as far as that, bet that is no reason why
we should not make our cove as profit-
able as we can. I think his idea of re-
garding our cows as machines for the
manufacturine of milk a good one.
. -The secondbreason, that they run their
faetories two mouths longer than wedo,
I think cannot be adopted here, for eve
never have eight months of open weather,
although butter might bepratably made
for a longer - petiodthan that. I agree
withthe remark that it will pay to feed
with grain. I belieye that coarse grains
will bring more money fed this way than
if taken to market.
Mr. Malcolm's third reason, that our
pasteres are inferior, I believe to be not
so niiich the result • of continuous crop-
ping as of the almost universal practice
of cropping the laird unt;1 it is tilled with
all wets of weeds, so that there is no
•roomlfor anything else to grow before
seeding down. . It is irepoesible for land
in this conditionto produce grass. While
this syatem is continued, the land will
never* recover. I believe, if we want
good Igrass,..we must put our land in
good order, seed it down, and . then we
will not only have geed grass, but we will
get god crops when we break up.
With regard to the statement that
patronsof cheese factories do not p11? -
vide egainst the exigency in time of
drouti I hope Mr. Malcolm will
, this
exple n in a future article. For my part
•
i
I do ilot know that I can do more than
put the ground. in good order and sow the
seed. ..i Thia we have done the last two
years, but we have failed to produce any-
thing t� supply our pressing necessities
in the . extremely dry season, Light on
this penit would be a great boon. For
my part, 1- believe a better knowledge
of the 'theory of producing succulent
food for our cows ought to be dissemin-
eted along us. But -it Will take some
practice to find out what will best suit
our individual cases, we have -tried corn,
tares, white turnips, and rape, but they
they all fail on our 'heavy. clay in dry
weather such as we have had -last two
seasons. We would suggest the follow-
ing questions: i
First—What Is the best way to clean
our laird of thistles and other 'weeds?
Second—What . is the best rotation of
crops m connection with dairy.? -
