FAILURE* OF iTHE HAY CROP.— We re-
gret to learn that the hay crop is likely to
be a failuredn this County again this sea-
son. The dry weather in the spring pre-
vented the plant gaining a good start,
and now, no.anatte-r how favorable the
weather era.y be, it can scarcely be an av-
erage crop. This is unfortunate. For
the past twosprings hay has been yery
scarce and dear. The result is that all
the old hay ie.clearedout of the country,
and we will have to depend entirely on
tne new chop for the comieg year.

The Late William Malcom.
Mr. William. Malcom died at his re-
sidence in Seaforth on Monday last, 9th
inst. Though not unexpected,: the news
of his death was received with feelings of
sorrow and -sincere regret by' the whole
community, by whom he . was well
known and 'held in high esteem for his
many excellent .qualities of head and
heart. Mr. Malcom was born in Stirling -
shire, Scotland, and. when about 16
years of 'age emigrated, with his father's
family, to Canada'and settled in the
neighbeehood of Peterborough': Here
the elder Mr. Malcom engaged hi the
foundry business, and, William, -after
working ma an apprentice in the estblish-
ment, in process of time, became a very
skillful machinest and engineer. In
1848 he came to this 'Count; and took
up his residence in Goderich, where for
some tirae he had charge of the business
of theold,Goderich Foundry. After a
number of years' residence in Goderich
Mr. Malcom was induced by Mr. Gordon
McKay to go te Thorold to taketharge
of the construction of the Lybster Mills,
which were built ender his direction.
On the completion of the mills, he was
made Supersntenclent of the works, a
positionwhich he occupied eight or ten
years. In 1868 Mr. Malcom came to
Seaforth, and engaged in the produce
and. egg- og business, in which he
continued till his death., During the
existence of the Canadian Salt Associa-
tion 'Mr. Malcorn„ was appointed Salt
Inspector for th nom binationiand dis-
charged his tlutieh with general satisfac-
tion, until the breaking up of that or-
ganization. The deceased was a man of
more than ordinary intelligence and
ability. We do not know whether he
received the henelit of a thorough educe -
cation, or whether be was mainly self-
taught, but no one eolith converse with
him for any length of timetvithout com-
ing to the conclusion that he was ex-
ceedingly well eosted. not only on the'
current topics of the day, but -on matters
of science and literature, which are not
generally so well known. Mr.- Malcom
Turnherry.
ars. Brown and Carrick, of
„ Ray.
On the we of the departure of 1V1r. Rob-
ert Brown, Reeve of Hay, and Mr. Wil-
liain Carrick, Deputy Reeve of the same
township, on aevisit to Scotland, it was
thought fitting by some of their friends
that an opportunity should be given
their constituents and numerous ad-
' mieerts of testifying their esteem for
therm. Aceordingly, on the evening of
hlonhay last, June 9, a complimentary
dinner was given in their honor at _Mr.
N. Deichart's Hotel, Zurich. At the
hour for the opening of festivities a
large number of the most respectable
and well-known resid.ents of Hay and
neighboring townships had assembled,
and it became evident the affair would
be in every respect a gratifying success.
The chair was occupied by Mr. Archibald
Bishop', _of Usborne, Warden of the
County, and the vice chairs by Mr. Wil-
liam Turnbull and Mr. John B. Geigher,
Councilors of Hey, The Chairman was
supported. on either hand. by the guests
-of the evening and by Mr. J. R. Miller,
of Goderich, Inspector of Schools; Mr.
Thotaas Simpson, _Reeve of -Stanley • Mr.
Geerge Castle, Deputy Reeve of Stanley;
Mr. Joshua Calloway, of Ottawa; Mr.
Danid
el McDonald, of Brussels, and
others: The spread, which wee-
-worthy of the occasion and highly credit-
able th Mr. Deicharti the host, was. sat
down to by upward s of 'sixty gentlemen,
who, grace having been said, by Mr.
Turnbull, fell lustily to demolishing the
viands, and. did ample juitice to the good
cheer provided.,
When the cloth had been removed
and order restore4, the Chairman read a
note of apology from Mr. M. C. Cam-
eron, M. P., Goderich, regretting his
inability to be present, on account of the
meeting of the County Court next d4,and testifying to his appreciation of the
character of Messrs. Brown and Carriak..
The usual loyal toasts, 'The Queen,"
The Prince of Wales," and the "Gov-
ernor General," were the given and
drunk with all honors.
The "Army, -Navy and Volunteers,"
coupled with the name of Lieutenant
Thomas Simpson, was next in order.
Lieutenant Simpson responded .in ap-
propriate terms, paying a high compli-
ment to the valor, devotion and patriot-
ism of the volunteer force.
Song by Mr. George Castle, "Britten
nia, the Gem of the- Ocean."
The Chairman then, in a neat speech,
gave the toast of ' the evening, "Our
Guests." He had sat in company with
Messrs. Brown and Carrick at the
County Council Board, and he must say
that uo members of- that body were
held in higher esteem. Neither of them
were men of many words, but their ohin-
iens were sound and much sought after,
tnoreovet they were men who
could always be relied on.
Mr. Brown, in reply, thanked the com-
pany for the honor of the toast. The
number and respectability of those pres-
ent far exceeded his anticipations. As
the Chairman had. remarked, be was a
man of few words, and. he -could hardly
express his feelings on this occasion. As
Reeve he had endeavored to do his duty,
without ever expecting reward, and this
was an honor he had not looked fo
Sometimes he thought he might have
done bdtter as their Reeve. He had had a
good chance. He had. always been elect-
ed unanimously, and not by any section
or clique, so there was no temptation for
him to favor any one. When he became
Reeve there was only four or five miles
of their township roads graveled. At
that time they thought $700 a large
amount to raise by township tax. One
year they raised the tax to $1,500, and
Mr. Wilson, who was then Clerk, told
them that liould be the last year any one
of them would. sit in the Council. But
when the election came around they were
all re-elected by acclamation, and now,
as a result of this willingness to bear

.sadly in want of rain; which has been
rather scarce since the beginning of

ACCIDENT. -Mr. John Jobb. of the
Eighth Concession met with a severe
'accident on Thursday, 5th inst. He
was in his brother's woods, where some
men were hewing barn timber, and in
passing one of the men, he stumbled. to-
ward him, and received a very deep cut
on the shoulder and arm. He was im-
mediately taken to Wingharn, when the
wound was dressed, and he is doing as
well as could be expected. 2

building the school house on tbe 6th

by the, lst of August, ready for teaching

[C. R. COOPER, Brusselst_ Agent' for the Ex-
POSITOR Newspaper and Job Printing Meet]
THE nese TRAnn-The first engine
and cars arrived at Brussels on Monday,
at 10:30 A. hti. A large numberof the
hihaltitants 6f the village and vicinity
asseniebled at .the crossing on the gravel
roadtetween Morris and Grey; and as the
engine and eight cars laden with iron
passed over the boundary, the crowd
cheered lastly. After the cars had. been
unloaded, the track -layers and train men
were entertained atta substantial colla-
tion by the hotel keepers and others.
The track will be laid to Wiegham by
the 1st of July. -
FORMAL OPENING. -We believe it is.
the in of the Directors of the Wel-
lington, Grey and Bruce Railway to have
a formal opening of the road at Brussels
on Dominion Day, when a good time is
anticipated. •
Mn.. EDITOR : We have been treated
to weekly reviews of things in ,general
.in and around Brussels, in which polities,
.railways, he., seem to take the most
proirainerW place. We have also had
lively times about incorporation, and all
the usual amount of officers. have been
installed, for the working of that institu-
tion. . Due attention has been paid to
the clearing of streets, doing away with
certeintimisances, in which the pig ques-
tion had. a very prominent place. But
we think there is another nuisan se yet
which needs a little attention. Thaths.
the boy nuisance. It is admitted by all
that the above nuisance is a great one,
, yet, to judge by the way in which those
members of society are allowed to run at

with the Reeve that the best disposition
that could be made of their surplus
money...would be to devote it to paying
off therrhailway debt.
Song by Mn Joshua Calloway, " In
the Days we went Gypsying."
The Claairman, in proposing the "Mu-
nicipal Institutions, ' said. they_ were
especially the_ people's institutions, and
closely they !were 'looked after by tte
people. There was another institution,
however, with which. the people were
veity intimately connected, and that was
the -common. school, and he regretted it
received so little attention. School
matters took almost as much money as
was required for township rourposee.
School meetings should be better attend-
ed, and trustees more carefelly selected
and more ',closely looked after: [Mr.
Miler-llear, hear.]
Mr. .Tames Smillie, in reply, spoke of
the exceilence of our municipal system,
as compared with that of Lower Canada
and other. countries. There was no
country in the world where men had- an
equal opportunity to say w-hether they
should or should not be taxed. Tt had
often astonished him to see how willing -
men would pay $25 or $30 taxes on a
hundred acres of land. He only ac-
counted. for it by the fact that it was
self-imposed, and that they expected a
return. The finances of both the town-
ship of Hay and the County were in a
good condition. The County of Huron
had honoeably, paid its municipal loan
debt, and occupied a proud position
among.. the municipalities of the Prov-
ince. It gave him a thrill of pleasure
and pride when he found that Huron
was to have justice done her in the
scheme for the settlement of the munici-
pal loan debt and the distribution of the
surplus. He knew Metsrs. Brown and
Carrick well, as County Councilors.
Mr. Brown was always stubborn to do
what was right. He would not promise
to do as much as he Would. do. He re-
spected MC. Brown because he was dog-
ged, stubborn and honest; but he re-
spected Mr. Carrick for a different rea-
son -because he was amiable, courteous
and kind.
Mr. Samuel Rennie, also in reply to
the "Municipal Institutibns," _made a
brief speech, concluding by wishing the
gu.ests of the evening h prosperous jour-
ney and a safe return. .

The Vice Chairman, Mr. Turnbull,
then gave The Agricultural Interests."
He was going to say agriculture was like
the main spoke of the wheel, but in re-
ality it was the hub -take away the
hub and the whole concern came to the
around.
Mr. David Dick briefly responded in a
very humorous speech. He thought the
farmer was in a very poor position.
Some one always had their hand in hie
pocket. [Laughter.] The agricultural
is fluctuating. ' Sometimes we have
good crops and sometimes bad.. But
there is always taxes to pay, and schools
to build, and. churches to support, and
people were always helping themselves
out of the farmer pocket. [Laughter.]
But he was glad they had broad 'backs,

The next toast was the "Educational
Interests," coupled with the name of
Mr. J. R. Miller.
Mr. Miller said that for the past two
years he had been trying to introduce
the new educational systern. He was of
the opinion that if they succeeded in
successfully introducing this- new sys-
tem, they would have the best educa-
tional system in the world. It was dif-
ficult to introduce a reform; it Was hard
to overcome prejudice. .-- He had been of-
ten discouraged in his work, and .would
have•gtven it up, had it not been for the -
kind words and counsels of friends'. But
he thought the system would become
popular wherhbetter understood. ' If the
School law had as fair a trial as the mu-
nicipal institutions .had had, it would be
as well liked. If the School law were
better known, it would be more popular
and thought less arbitrary. When he
accepted the office of Inspector, he re-
solved to do his duty, to enforce the law
and improve the schools. Be believed
he had succeeded, ant the result of his
work would be manifest in a few years.
He asked the gentlemen psesent to help
him in his work. When he first began
the duties of his office, children were at-
tending schools farmers would not put
their horses. in-woulcl not even keep
their pigs in. Jle visited One school
without a pane of glass in the windows,
others had no playgrounds' others had,
no outhouses. The methodof instruc-
tion was m many cases equally deplor-
able. Children who had " gone through"
the Arithmetic coulkl not do Simple Ad-.
dition. He had to rearrange all the
classes. Children reading in the Fifth
Book were in many cases put back to
the Second. This made a great outcry,
and he believed he was then the most
unpopular man in the County; but
parents had since thanked him for what
he had done. Ho wished to correct an
impa ession that was prevalent, that he
had witheld grants, but he had only in
one instance kept back a grant, and that
was where a teacher had no certificate.
Sixteen, school houses were being built in
his district this -year. He believed. that
this year all the schools would have
their proper complement of land, and
that next year all would have the
proper buildings. Hay stoocl first in the
district in regard to school buildings;
the schoolhouse at Zurich was the best
in the County. Mr. Miller then met

AN AFTERNOON'S DRIVE. -Mr. Editor: -
One afternoon lately, your correspon...
dent, .having a little leisure on his hands,
thought he would improve it by taking a.
drive into the beautiful township
Tuckersenith. Passing the farm. of Mr;
William Chesney, I felt constrained to -
stop and make a brief inepectioe of what
I had often heard described. as "the
model farm of the County." I was hos-
pitably received. by Mr. Chesney, who
-
first showed me his awelling-house and
then accompanied me in a tour of the out-
buildings and fields. I may say that all
the buildings, in their construction and
arrangement, show rare taste and
excellent judgment, and that the farm -e,#
altogether is laid -off and cultivated in a.
manner to do credit to Mr. Ches-
ney's agricultural skill. Mr Chesney
makes an espeehal hobby of his stock,
and. certainly be has some animals about
his premises any farmer might be proud
of. One of these, it thoroughbred. Dur- •
ham bull calf, lately purchased from Mr.
Wise, of Goderich Township, is a spier],
.dicl animal and will, doubtless, be a
boon to the whole neighborhood, in the .
way of stock -improvement. I was also,
shown a number of calves, 'bred from the
bull "Knight of the Valley," which
showed excellent points. A pair of
team horses, sired by " England's
Glory," attracted my attention, by their
style and symmetry. My atter-Aim, was
also directed to a very handsome colt by •
"King of the Dominion," end to aline -
looking Sir Archy" colt, bred by Mr.
John Logan, Egmondville. Mr. Ches-
ney's sheep are also noticeable for their -
excellent condition and fine breeding;.
among them 1 noticed a remarkably fine
Leicester ..ram laanb, which I expect to
hear from at the tall thews. Consider-
able of the afternoon being yet before
me, Mr. Chesney kindly volunteered to- ;
accompany -me to his brother's, Mr. IL
Chesney's. Here we found the crops,
looking well, and were shown two colts, _
sired by "King of he Dominion," which
-for bone, muscle and style can not be
surpassed in Ontario. The remainder of
Mr.. H Chesney's stock is also of raremer--
it, but I have not time to particularize.
The next and. last place I visited was
Mr. Andrew Archibala's, where the -
crops are also in a satisfactory condition,
considering the season. I was here -
'shown two two -year-olds, which are a
credit to their owner, and some very fine
sheep; also it one -year-old colt owned
by Mr. Thoma.s Hills, of Egmondville,
which for size, beauty and symmetry,
in my opinion, is unrivalled. If, Mr. -
Editor, these desultory notes, by a hand
unused to guide the pen, find favor in
ypur eyes, please give them to the pub-- •
lic. The enterprise of the farmers I have •
named above is but a specimen of that
which characterizes our whole farming-
communith, and which is doing so much
to elevate and enrich our country. -
