There was but a very' small. attendanee. 'The Reeve took the chair, and read•let- ebere received in answer to enquiries of the Committee : 1, From A. Richardson, Esq., of Chat. ham, stating cost of steam fire engine at Chatheen to be $4,000, which includes 20 feet of suction hose, and that the -cost of elischairging hose is $1 40 per foot in New York ; their tanks are about- 14 Ifeet deep and 12 fAet in diameter - he Strongly recommends Hysloi& Itana'ld's 2. From theTown Clerk of Whitby, 'stating that Whitby has a -" Merry - weather " steam fire -engine, which cost, including 900 feet of hese, 1,9;500, and had. sunk seven wells at conienient points, from 20 to 30 feet teleep, and 10 feet in dia;meter, ench capable of supply- ing the steamer from one to one 'and. a -half hours ; the cost of the seven wellii WaS $600. ' The report Of the Committee was then read, estimating the coat of a good steam fire engine for thie with suitable hose and sevin Pr eight wells at conveni- ent Points, at from $4,100 to $4,300, and of -a -hand engine, without hose, at 'from $630 to $1,500. The meeting then dis- cussed the vaaious means and. ways pro - Mr. Lumsde thought if the common reports of the hemical fire -engine were true, it was a most efficient land, and it'would pay better tor Seaforth to get sevetid of them ratherthan one steamer. Mr. T. Kidd stronglye recommended .that an efficientateam fire erigine be pur- chased, and the necessary „wells sunk, and that it be done at once. Mr. Malcom had no hesitation in say- ing that the Waterous system far ex- ceeded adefother he was acquainted with, in efficiency and ultimate •eeonomy. If a steam fire engine be procnred, he held that in a year or less something would get 'out of order, and the engine be found wanting in the time of 'need. He esti- mated the cost of ri steamer, hose, tanks, and an engine house it $7,000, at an an- nual charge to the village of NO, but if thr people would not have the Waterous system, then- by all mem! get a steamer. If a steamer he would recommend that , one of Canaiiian "ma;ke be procured, with a fixed piston, as the rotary ones were eery liable to get out of repair. Mr. Hill spoke at ;considerable length, as to the merits of the different systems, and thought the Waterous system at $14,000 would he much cheaper in the end than any other, and, that if that system were adopted! the Board of Un- derwritees at Toronto would, doubtless, materially- reduce the rates of Insurance; But if that were voted down he wculd prefer a steam fire eegine to any other plan. He aloe alluded to the probable receipt by Seaferth of some five or six thousand dollars from the Municipal Fund. and that Seaforth's share of the surpluti_econld not be better applied than in such a public improvement as the Waterous system would be. A vote of thanks to theCommittee for their seryiees, i.nd dismissing them from further duties was then carried, and the meeting separated without coming to any definite conclusion M the matter. .shore, otherwise theet Wlio• could not swint Weiteld certainly have been drown- ed.

The Annual Shoeaeef .entire stock, un- der the auspices of the -Stephen and :Us- bcrne Brench Agricultural Society, was held "at Exeter, on „Friday last. The weather was not yery favorable, being 'cold, damp and rather disagreeable. The show, however, was, asiusual, very successful. Theattendance of spectators was large, and the -display of animals, especially of horses, was in every respect first-class. In heavy draught horses the display was not .so large as at either of the Riding shows,. but the animals ex- hibited were very supenor. The agri- cultural and general purpose class was more largely represented, and contained better animals than revere exhibited in the game class at either of the Riding shows.: In thischiss it wee an exceedingly diffi- cult task for the judges to -decide which was the best. The other classes were not largely crepresented, but the animals enhibited , were far above the average. The show of hulls was not nearly so good as that of horses. • It would seem, if the entire stockshows are to be taken as an' index, that -anuch more attention is devoted to horses than to bulls, in this County. While there were some really good animals of the latter cla.ss, it can- not be said that they at all compare in quality with the .horsest, At the Ex- eter show there were only two or three bulls which could =be considered first- class. The othevs, although good, and an improvement on many of those ex- hibited in former years, are still below the average attained in the hoise class.

Af- ter the " situation " was explained to the delegates by the Presidenteit was unan- imously resolved to defend- the seat of Mr. Cameron, and steps were taken which will resnit in the required funds being obtained. From reports which -weekly wear in the County Town papers, we are led to con - chide that rowdyism has become ram- pant within the precincts of the County . seat, and thatthere is extreme danger of the rowdy element of the Ipopulation gaining the aseendancy. waew of this, alarming prospect, we would auggest that' the County seat be removed to Seaforthe a town, of virtue mid repitte, where rowdyism fioerisheth not, kat the Coun- - ty Officials, -and worse still, the Coinity Councilors, while attending to their legislative duties; - be centaminated- !nanionship with the eowdy element of so dangerous a place.

[C. R. Cooenn, Brussels, .Agent for the Ex- Pefi roit Newspaper and job Printing Office.] BRUSSELS . As A ,Bvsf-NE8s POINT. -- There is, perhaps, no fairer way of esti- mating the business done in a town or village than by ascertaining the revenue of its post office. The revenue of the Brussels post office, as shown by returns published last week, is the fifth highest in the County-Godericli, Seaforth, Min- ton and Exeter only coming t n ahead of it. We commend this fact to the am bitious Wroxeterians and`Winghamites who have hitherto been in the habit of turning up their nasal organs at Brussels whenever business.' was mentioned. It will be seen that the Brussels post office does a much larger business than the offices of either of these -villages. We may. therefore, . fairly conclude that a much larger commercial trade is done in Brussels` than in either of the other vil- lages named. Outsiders will do well . to make a note of this. SALE OF VILLAGE LOTS. -Mr. Lead - beater's sale of village lots will take place on Wednesday, the 21st of May. From inquiries made since the postpone- ment of the previous sale, it is every, way likely that these lots will be eagerly sought after, and that competition will be keen. They are eligibly situated, and are quite convenient to the business por- tion of the village. Tina RRAILWAY DEBT.- Several at- tempts to definitely settle- the share of the railway indebtedness incurred by the t township. of Morris, to be borne by Brus- sets, have been made, without coming to any satisfactory, conclusion. The matter 'will now have to be referred to .arbitra- tion. The Council of Brussels offered to pay their proportion of the aesesscuent according to the last revised assessment roll. which would amount to about $1,700. This Morris refused to accept, but offered to accept the sum of $5,000. Brussels declined to entertain the pro- position at all, consequently both muni- cipalities agreed to allow the case to be arbitrated upon. Brussels made the same offer to Grey as they cid to Morris, but Grey declined to accept, being apparent- ly favorable to arbitration from the first, as they made no legal offer of settlement. Thus the difficulty of the village witb both townships will be decided upon by arbitration, which is, no doubt, the best and most satisfactory way. CHEESE FACTORY UTTEN SILS. -Messrs. Jackson & Holliday, of Brussels, are now? prepared to furnishocheeee factory vats, cans and . other utensils. They also in- tend devoting considerable attention to eave-troughing. THE PACIFIC HOUSE.- Mr. A. Q. Bai- ley, who has for some time been running this house, being unable to make it pay, retires from its proprietorship. The house reverts back to the old managge- ment. It is rumored -that ,Mr. Bailey has leased Elston's Hotel, in Exeter. BRIckis WANTED. -Tjiereis a splendid opening for a brickmaker in Brussels. The cry with everyone is : What are we going to do without brick ? Some' five or six parties now about building residences would build brick if they could be got. There is not even a brick in the place to build a chimney, while there is plenty of good :lay- near the village. Any one commencing the business'could easily sell from 400,000 to 500,000 this. season at good prices. There are some 25 or 30 buildings now going up, and contract- ed for. The carpenters and other- build- ers have all more work on hand than they .can get through with for the season. Bu rrER. INSPECTLON.-A meeting was held by the merchants and traders of the village of Brussels, on the 22nd of April, a for the purpose of rearranging and con- sidering the present system of butter in- spection, as approved and adopted by the 'Ontario Butter Association. Mr. John Leckie acted as Chairman, and Mr. Livingstone as Secretary. The Chair- man read a letter and circular irom A. S. Fisher, Esq., of Clinton, Secretary of the Ontario Butter Association. After considerable discussion it was moved by John Kippen, seconded by William Tufts, that all the .butter purchased in Brussels_ during the present season of 1873, be purchased subject to inspection, according tie the rules as adopted by the Ontario Butter Association - Carried unanimously. The following agreement was then drawn up and signed by the parties present, based on the foregoing' resolution : `` We, the undersigned merchants and traders of the village of Brussels, belie'- Ing that the inspection and grading the qualities of butter is a great been to in dividuals and a great saving to the coun- try generally, do hereby agree to con- tinue the system of inspection during the season of 1873, under the rules and re- gulations set forth in a circular issued by order of the Ontario Butter Associa- tion, andthat we will strictly adhere to the same in all cases." The Secretary was then instructed to purchase 900 circulars for free distribu- tion'among the farmers --and others in- terested in this important movement. Spring Assizes.
