Play of :horses could .scarcely be surpassed at any similla show in the -country. 'There were no fewer than ink imported horses on he gromid, all of 'Which were of the best e- .scriPtion. The Canadian bred to es - were also creditable alike to their breed-- , ers and the County.

The Spring Show of the South Huron Agricultural Society was held at Bruce- -field, on Thursday last. • The Spring Shows of this Society have become noted throughout the Province for their excellence; but that of Thursday, in every respect, excelled any which has yet been held, The day, although not so favor- able as might be desired, •Was' more pleasant than the morning promised. There were over two -thousand people !present, gathered frum all parts of the County. The large concourse assembled were certainly notdisappointed. We are safe' in saying that a better ring of horse S than the heavy draught at 13rtice- fiel4 was never exhibited at a County aholiv in Ontario. The show of general purpose and road and. carriage horses was also splendid. There was a num- ber of really superior young horses in all classes. • The young heavy draughts were exceedingly notable. • There were nine imported horses on exhibition. En bulls, the display was in every de - pertinent superior. The number was not very large, but the quality of the ma- jority of the animals exhibited was such that it would bp dii3loult indeed to sur- pass them in any part of the couatry. • -The following is a list of the - succeasful competitors: PRIZE LIST -HORSES. _Heavy Draught. =Aged -4 entries.; 1st Thomas Colquhoun, "Lord Haddow ;" • 2d J.

Samuel Jones. Order having been restored, and Mr. Jones hav- ing recovered from the surprise of so inaby of his congregation visiting him at so untimely an hour'at the request of the company, Mr. Thomas Stracnan was requested to read the following address, which was presented to Mr. Jones, to- gether with a valuable carpet, and a purse containing $100 : To Rev. Samuel Jones, Pastor of _Knox Church, Brussels : Deur Pastor -It is • with feelings of great pleaeure the pres- ent company of members, adherents and friends of your congregation have made • you a surprise visit this evening, for the • purpose of tendering you a donation, as a slight token of the high esteem. entertain- ed for you, not only personally, but also for your faithful and untiring services as pastor of Knox Church congregation during the six years of your pastorate. On an occasion like the present, it would not probably be amiss to take a short re- view of our career during the period you have been our pastor. • When you com- menced your labors among us we were in very embarrassed circumstances financi- ally, and spiritually we were like a flock without a shepherd, -altogether, the fu- ture looked gloomy indeed. • But the committee of management were deter- mined that if persistent and united effort would accomplish anything, they would overcome every difficulty and liquidate every claim, and 6 -night we feel proud to say that the blessings of the Almighty attended. their efforts. The eongregation numetically is very much stronger than thee, and better still, a spirit of unity and. brotherly love among us is greatly etrengthened, while the debt of the con- gregetion is nearly all paid off. :We fear that during the six years youlave labor- ed. among us, the thought may have oc- curred tO you that your labers were not appreciated as they should - be, and that the congregation felt indifferent towards you. If such thoughts did occur to your mind at times; we trust that you will banish them, as we can assure you that you have unquestionably earned the respect, esteem and love, not only of your congregation, but of the whole com- munity. We have now the honor and pleasure in tendering you in the name of the members, adherents and friends of Knox Church congregation, this purse' and carpet, and we trust that God in His mercy may aid and sustain you for many years to come in your labors among us. Mr. Jones, in rising to reply, said he was so taken by surprise that he felt a difficulty in addressing them, but if the present were an expression of their affec- tion, which he had every reason to be- lieve it was, then that, thought en- hanced its value manifold, for without mutual affection between pastor and people little good could be expected: It is now six years this month since I took the oversight of the church, and it has been years of pleasure to myself, and I hope of some profit to you. I am deep- ly conscious how imperfect the work has been clone, and 1 have been humbled on that accouat. I have at times felt sad because I have not seen more real con- versions and greater spirituality in the membership, but this token of your love encourages me to hope that my labors have not altogether been in vain in the Lord. As a session during these years we have nel er had- an unpleasant word, and as far as I have ever heard the cora- mittee of • management • have always worked 'harmoniously, ancl the ladies on the present occasion have done their work well, as they always do, .when they work for the interests of the church. If I have any ruling passiou or desire, it is that I may be• able while I live to preach .among you the unsea.rehable riches of Christ, and to be useful instrumentally inleadiug your footsteps toward the better laud. I thank you most sincerely for this your handsome present, and I hope that you will realize in your own souls the truth of what God hath said,, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." To you be the thanks; to God be all the praise. • Mr. Strachan then thaked the ladies for their untiring energy and zeal in fur- thering the interests of the congregation. Miss Humble presided at the melodeon in her usual happy and -brilliant manner, accompanied" by Mrs. Kay, who sae some beautiful pieces; aided by Mr. j. Johnson and A. Strachan. Having par- taken of a bountiful repast, the company spent the evening in pleasant and social enjoyment, which was closed with prayer by Rev. Mr. Jones, when all wended their way homeward, highly delighted with the happy manner in which the evening was spent. --Com. Blueval e. BIBLE SOCIETY. —The Agent of this Society will deliver a lecture in the Presbyterian Church, on Wednesday evening, 23d inst. A collection in aid of the funds of the Society will be taken ;up. .A.minENT.—While Mr. James IvIesser was in his stable, last Sunday evening, he met with rather a strange accident while trying to fasten up one of his cows. The animal caught his lower lip with her horn, inflcting, rather a severe, wound. Dr. Scott stitched up the cut, and. it is now healing. TEE FLoon n WurailA1/1.—Thd am- phibious Winlrharnites are, at last, "pad- dling their own canoes." Many a Turn - beery ratepayer will; no doeilit, be ready to rejoice at this blessed cottunimation ; but we must explain that the expression we.have used is not to be taken figurat- ively, but in its most literal sense. The hubof the universe. Chicago's destined rival, is a wilderness of waters, with canoes paddling along its once busy streets and squares, with, nothing to ime pode their course, but the tops -of chim- neys and flagpoles. (This last state- ment we have on very good authority, but cannot altogether vouch for its ac- curacy). We hear, too, that the Times newspaper, editorials and all, are ground out by water power, ancl that the only way in which the editorial corps can get into the sanctum. is- by means of diving bells. • This accounts for the dampness of last week's Timm. (As we write this, a fellow who is looking over our shoulder remarks, sotto wee, "blessed good thing for its subscribers it's dry enough gen- erally !" We kindly request him, to "dry up"). WeLtry very hard to sympathize with our sister village in her watery trouble, but just when we begin to. feel very sympathetie, ludicrous visions steal across our mind of Winghamites with woe -begone visages, paddling ' through the streets of the great metropolis, their proverbial ambition cooled down consid- erably below zero by the waters of the .111aitland. These prevent -the full play of our sympathy, but we do sincerely hope the waters may soon abate., • The want of communication with the outside world is a great loss to Wingham, but it is an inconceivably • greater loss to the world at large. • General stagnatiou must inevitably ensIle if trade is not soon re- sumed. To show our friendly spirit we would advise the Winghainites to move their village about four miles up stream, we believe we could find a nice little dry spot outside of our village upon which - they might pitch their camp, without danger of finding themselves a floatiug population at every spring shower. They' would make a very ince httle suburb. • Exeter. SALE OF PROPERTY. -Mr. Charles Se- nior has sold his divelling house and.lot, situated west of Mr. Carling's residence, to Mr. John • Clarke, one of Mr. Pielcard!S salesmen. The lot is of ex- cellent and well -cultivated soil. • There is a good selection cf fruit trees, some of which have borne plentifully. The house is a neat fraMe billiding, very commodious, and provided with a good cellar. Mr. • Senior, it is believed, is about to leave this Place and take up his residence in Galt. If he leaves, this would-be an excellent opening for some good photographer. Any one desirous of obtaining a. pleasant situation and a good business, should. apply at once, as Mr. Senior is prepared to sell his photograph gallery with or withoRt the instruments and apparatus in use, &c. I'm: FRESHET. -The greater part of Mr. Pickard's mil dam has been swept away by the recent storm. The loss is estimated at notless than $2,000. GOOD FRIDAY .-Good Friday was well observed in this place. - All the stores, &c., were closed, and the chief centre of attraction .. appeared to be in the Bible Chnstian Church. Rev. Paul Rob- bins, of Fullerton, preached at 10.30 A. M. There was a -very large attendance. The sermon was succeeded by a love feast, which confirmed till 1.30 P. M., after which a plentiful repast was served up. • Also parties began purchasing vari- ous articles which were provided. This continued for some time. At 6.30 Rev. Mr.. Butcher,' of Mitchell, delivered a temperance lecture of rare merit. The total proceeds realized were $208. -At about 1 P. M., parties in the village were somewhat surprised at hearing notes of music pealing out on the street, in rich profusion. Upon due investiga- tion it wa.s found that the Zurich brass band had made their appearance. .They araded the streets for acme tims, and played several pieces very well. Their musical attainments reflect credit on them, for they have been organized but a few months. SICKNESS. -Mr. Charles Monteith, of Usborne, still continues to be very ill. He experiences severe pain about the right shonlder, also inflammation of the • lungs. -Mr Richard Ealkwill, of Exeter, has been ill for some time. • He is rather an aged man, and his recovery is hardly expected. • Butter Inspection. A large meeting- of merchants from the towns and villages in the Counties of Huron, Perth and Bruce, took place in Goderich, on Thursday, April 10, for the purpose of making rules for the regulation and purchase of butter, so that, if possible, a better quality may be produced, thereby benefiting both pro- ducer and dealer. It was decided to continue the same mode of inApection as adopted. last year, but to add another class, so that, there will now be four classes, instead of three, for butter. _Mr. Robert Callander, of Clinton, was elected Chairman of the Association, and Mr. A. S. Fisher, of Clinton, Secretary - Treasurer, for,• the current year. There • appeared -to be a perfect feeling of u aan- imity 'among the merchants present, and they 'expressed themselves as satisfied with the system of inspection, and that it was producing good effects for all parties interested. Farmers at first thought the system gave the profits all to the dealer, bit now that its workings are thoroughly understood, they are be- ginning to be satisfied that it will even- tually raise both the standard and price of butter, An Inspector will be appoint- ed, in all the towns and villages in which. any amount of butter is purchase, and farmers will therefore have it inspected before offering it to the dealer. •This system does not interfere with families who purchase direct from the farmer. Rules and regulations were drawn up at the meeting, for the guidance of Inspec- APRIL 181 1873.

Usborne. TILE HAIL STORM, -The memorable hailstormof the 5th instseems to hare been as severe in Usborne, if not more 80, than in any other place. Mr. Wm, Dinnin, postmaster of Lumley, informs us that some of the balls of ice measured 8 inches m circumference, and 7 ameter, and seven of them weighed one pound. Great damage was done to fruit trees and windows. - SOME GOOD OAK CHURNS just to hand at E. TUCK -SON & CO.'S.
