•. son of Mr. A. G. McDougall, of this vil-

cident. It Ifeems.-that tho little follow
had a shoe lace witia a. braes end to it,
and was using it for a whiet, when, in

about half an inch in length, and was
stuck alresist straight into the eye, so far
that the Outer end IN'as hardly discern-
able ; in fact, it was not noticed in his

Salem—The soiree, ' under,. the .aii s -
pices of the kethoclistEpiseopal Church,
e.ame off on Monday, evening: The au-
• llience was tit:lite large, the Town Hall being
well filled. The refreshments were vent
abundant and 'exaellent, and 'were fur-
• nished on taibles ranged along each side'
• of the hall. Revelefr. Card, of St. Marys
made an excellent address, taking for hie
, theme, t` Tie Bible," and its influence
in moulding the character and destiny of
• nations. R .v. Mr, Graham, of Eg,montle
• ville, and Rev.._ Mr. Goldsmith, of Sea -
forth, folio ed' in brief and humorous_
speeches. uring the evening a "grab
bag " was ietniduced and passedaround;
this is a :novel feature in soiree enter-
tainments hereabouts, and caused cop-
tidezeable amusement by the oddity of
the presents drawn. s The entertainment
altogether was a decided success, and. its
pecuniary result must leave tbeen ex-
tremely gretifying to its projectors.
• Gonetticie Menem —A. delegation
consisting - of • Horace, Horton, M. P.
• Mayor of Goderich. James Dickson,
Esq., Registrar and Thomas likrrow, M.
P., recently :visited Ottawa with a view
of prevailing on the Government to ren-
der some assistance in building docks for-
Gbderich Harbor. It appears that the
recent changes made by Govenunent in
making Goderich Harbor a. harbor of
refuge render necessary the construction
of new dock, and the delegation claimed
that as the Goyernment had occasioned
• this necessity, they. should at least help
in their- construction, • The delegation
• received no satisfactory assurances or
• promises -from the 0 o rernment, but were
• given to hope that an 'increased -sum
would be placed in the estimates for the
improvement of the harbor. Goderich
Town has already passed a by-law de-
voting $20,00p. to dock imprevements.
steuener., MEETING. —The annual con-
gregational i eeting of the Seaferth (ran-
•;
eda Presbyte tio. Chitreh was held in the ,
lecture room Of the church, on the even -1
' f T 1
y o as vi etle. The an- I
nual report of the managers wile read)• j
and showed the finencial affairs of -the '
eongregatunt to be in a very satisfactory :
condition. The following gentlemerd
were elected to compose the managing '
committee for the current year: John 1
Elliott, janaes C. Laidlaw, D. D. Wilson, .,
M. Y. _McLean, John HiCkson, Walter i
Scott, John Wilson, J. Straiten, James I
Nichol, Wni. Sproat, Edward Cash, and'
R. Lumsden. D. D. Wilson was appoint- I
ed Secretary, ind R. Liirnsclen Treasurer. i I
Archibald Dewar and Wm. Thomson I
were appointed Auditors. .. Edward Cash
was appointed Chairman of Committee..
The question of allowing the use of an
organ in the church was discussed,
and the feeling of the majority seemed
to bin favor of allowing tits use, pro-
ided it could be pineurcicl independently
tef the •regular revenue of the church.
anissioNeL-In the list of officers of the
South Huron Agriculthial Society given
last week,- we omitted the names of two
very important officers, viz., the Secre-
tary and Treasurer. Mr. Hugh Love, Sr.,
of Hey, was unanimously re-eleeted Sec-
retary, end Mr. G. Edwin Cresswell, of
Tuckersmith, Treasurer. 'Messrs. George
Jackson and Robert Brown were also
re-elected Auditors. •
• BUTTER Tun °Facrone.—We are in-
fonned that' Mr. Samuel Trott intends to
establish here a manufactory for the pro-
duction of buttertubs. . Mr. Troet has
his machinery already ordered and ex-
pects to have it in working operation
early in April. We understand. there is
an expellent opening for a,h establishment
of this kind, as there is a owin de-
mand for well -made butter tubs, and at
present there is but one factory in Cana-
da,. at Hell, opposite Ottawa; where they
ate supplied. Mr. Trott advertises for a
large number.of stave bolts and hoops
suitable for this kind of work.
• No Cies.—Shippers in Seaforth com-
plain bitterly of the scarcity of cars for
the past two or three months. Grain
dealers are subjected • to great loss and
ine,ouvemence on this account. Although
:they continue to buy at high prices all
the produce which offers on the market,
-they do so at -enormous risk, as they find
it impossible to get cars to carry away
their grain after it is sold, and con-
sequently they -have to keep it 011 hand
Paid run the risk of a falling market. We
ale° learn that the various salt roanufac-
teirers in the village have orders cancel-
ed almost. daily, because they cannot get
cars to send them pff. • This state of
things is most discouraging to our busi-
ness Men and disastrous to the interests
of the' village. There are now about 700
Car loads of ,freight at Seaforth station
awaiting shi-tment. We trued we may
not have again to complain.of this griev-
ance, and that . the Railway Company
will speedily send the earpestly looked
for relief. '
nut NEWSALT BLOCK. —The salt block
recently erected by the Merehants Salt
Conipany, a tehoit deecription of which
we ga,ve'a couple of weeks ago, is now -in
successful operatian and working to the
entire satisfaction of all concerned.
This block, as has already•bece stated,
was constructed upon an entirely new
principle, the invention of Mr. M. P.
Hayes, one of the principal stockholders
in the tompany. . The brine is heated be-
fore it enters the Oen, by the surplus or
• waste heat, by passing around and under
the furnace. • This Very materially facili-
tates evaporation, and is not -nearly io
destructive uteen the pan es when_the
brine enters it cold. The front of the
pan is used for making fine salt, and the
back part for coarse salt. It is claimed,
and, from actual experiment, we believe
the fact has been esteblished, that, with
the heating and evaporating -apparatus
constructed uportthis Principle, a much
larger amount of :salt can be made with
a givea amount of waist, than upon any
other which has yet been tried, either in
'this country or in the T.Tnited States.
The quality and appearance of both the
fine and coarse salt manhfactured in this
block is all that could possibly be de-
sired. ••
NOT CORRECT. —We notice the state-
ment is =isle in yesttrday's Hew _Era
That durin.g the past week a number of
farmers came from Clinton to Seaforth
with their grain, and that they did not
receive herd within two or three cents
of what they had been offered in Clinton.
. This is incorrect. 1.0n Friday of last
week, a farmer residing in the township
of Stanley, within alew miles of Clinton,
called et the EXPOSITOR 'Office and in-
formed us that he had driven to.Clinton
with a lead of peas, and not being offered
in that naarket what he thought they.
were worth, cete to Seaforth and re-
ceived six cents per bushel more for his
peas than he had been offered in Clinton.
Although this gentleman called at our
office specially to make mention of
this, we would not now allude to it
for the statement of our contemporary
above referred to. We may also state
that this is not the only instance of the
superiority of the Seaforth Market
whieh has come under our notice, many
similar statements having been made to
us by farmers within the past few
weeks.

Trustees Refusing to Comply
With the School Act. •
To the Edgar of the Huron Expositor. .
DEAR Sen, ----Permit me through the
columns of your journal` to Call the at-
tentioneof School Inspectors and others
interested in the welfare of our schools to
the following grievance in .connection
with the working of our new School Aet.
In theseetion-where I reside the trustees
refuse to hire an assistant teacher, al-
though expressly desired to do so by the
•ittispector. They are backed up in this
• by theme who have. no children at the
school, and. those -who value a dollar
more then the education ofj their child-
ren, Now, I hold that it it impossible
for any teacher, no matter how Indus -
tricots he may be, to teach from 80 to
100 peholien, under the new system.
.Conse,quenely„the 'yotinger children are
almost totally neglected at the very
period when it is of the greatest import-
ance they slaotild be carefully attended
-to, as -bad habits contracted then are
very rarely ever corrected aftetwards.
Besides children •in the rural districts
• are generally taken from school as soon
as they are able to work aid
therefore; be left uneducated. If In -
ape -dors have no otheinposrer to enforce

Gorrie.
GORRIE IS a thriving village, and bas
some just claim to beauty of eituation.
It is built on the ridges, slopes and in-
tervening hollows of rolling land, „skirted
on all sides with wood, and having the
Maitland River &Wing through its cen-
tre. Near the village this stream runs
through a channel whose banks are of
some elevation, and in consequence hav-
ing it natural formation for gathering a
considerable head of water -to give power
for mills or ether works.. It is in the -
township" of Ifowick, all through which
the water power is abundant, affording
ample opportunity for making it a pre.
eminently manufactering township.
Gorrie is 23 miles frora :Mount Forest,
and has ,a population of 400 There is
here one of the largest saw mills through-
out:nil this eectiondoing a bueiness of
over one inillion feet of lumber annu-
ally,`Which alone will give a large carry-
ing ttade. to the railway from this sta-
tion, especiallyeso when conjoined with
the product of another extensive saw
mill at Wroxeter, which sends out three
eaareers of a: million _feet' annfially. The
timber cut at this mill is pine, hemlock,
and sense beech, maple and elm. Be-
sides the saw ernill there is a iarge shin-
gle mill and a flour mill, two tanneries,
a foendry, a carriage factory and a cheese
factory. Intthe interests of the agricul-
tural population a Monthly fair has been
established. There is a fine country
around with a good. loanasoil and richly
productive.—T. G. and B. Hand -Book.

PRESENTATION.. --Mr. George Eyvet
who has for the past three years been
principal teacher in the Wroxeter public
scheot was waited upon by a naraber of
his late puplls and presented with a
beautiful writing case and a con:THU:len-
tary address, expressive of their esteem
for hinrae a teacher, and, their regret at
his departuin.
Weioxierisn, *ree _miles from Gerrie
and in the game township, has a 'popula-
tion of 700. It is also situated on the
Maitlend River, which gathers adelitione
al volume Of water, after leaving Gorrie,
frem an adjohling creek. This is a place
of growing inaportance for produce of all
e
kiwis. large quantity of. grain, but -
tee, pork and wool is broughtlere. One
buyer alone parchsed, last season, 12,-
000epounds of wool There are *font -
grain warehouses. Sheep and eattle are
reared extensively in the distriet, rind
the monthly cattle fair held here is well
attended, The village trade is various.
There is the 'large saw mill aleeady re-
ferred. to—eonjoined with which is a
planing mill, and sett and door factory;
a flour and grist null, with three run of
stones, and two run ef stones about to
be added, as the proprietors intend to
prosecute flour millin,g largely for ship-
ment, as soon as the railway is complet-
ed to this point. Ther is a 'cabinet fac-
-
tory carrying on it consi I table business;
an iron foundry is in eo rse of erection;
and there are several carriage and wagon
factmies. As in all villages in propor-
tion to size. there are sevael shoemak-
• ing. and tailoring establiehments, and
carpenters' shops. The general store
business is extensive and yearly increas-
- Mg. As an evidence of the business
importance of the place it is repre,sent-
ed, on good authority, that there is more
money passes through the post offiee of
Wroxeter than eny other post, eoltee M
the counties of Huron, Grey and Bruce. *
-Of course, places where there are bank
agencies established must be exempted
from comparison under this representa-
tion. The village of Behnore, about five
miles distant, neer which there is sledge;
cheese factory, will, in all probability,'
send its traffic with the est by Gorrie
and Wroxeter Station. Holivick is the
most populous toauiship in the County
of Huron, its numbers being 5,500, with
1,100 ratepayers. Many of the farmers
of the adjoining township of Carrick, in
its south-western section, will brink their
trade to this station, although their posi-
stion naay be nearer to Clifford, on the
Wellington; Grey and Bruce line, as the
roads to Chfforcl are very hilly and
rough, while to Wroxeter they are of a
different character. Besides, Toronto
and the east is 'evidently considered by
the ina.Tority of the peblie in these parts
as the best outlet for their produce trade,
for although Ilarriston has had railway
connection with Hamilton and the Great
Western line 'knee the beginning of last
winter, and naturally, frpm, its proximity
to Howick, the people of that township
might have been supposed.* to have gen-
erally sent their grain there for ship-
ment, along the 'Wellingtons Grey and
Bruce lMe, yet the greater part of the:
traffic in Proattee from Wroxeter and
other places ,around has gone it ranch
further distance to Seaforth e for ship-
ment on the Grand Trunk linetoToron-
to, and other places east. . This traffic,
then, will natarally find its way te the
Toronto, Grey and Bruce line t -hen the
Gorrie and Wroxeter station is opened
for business. The railway as projected,
will be .caniecl through_ from Wroxeter
to 'Teeswater, in • the County of Bruce,
and may ultimately be extended to Lake
Huron.- T. 0 and B. 11 and -Book.
