Thomp- son, of Kinburn, and read beehive before the Kinburn Farmer& Club. In pub- lishing the essay the name of the author was inadvertently omitted. - Lecrune. --Rev. Mr. Kennedy, for- merly pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, of this village, delivered a lec- ture in the harch un the evening of Wednesday last. The 'abject of the lec- ture was "Switzerland" As the .rev- erend gentleman has recently completed his travels through that country, he was well acquainted with his subject and did it ample justice. His lecture was, in fact, one of his most able efforts, and was 'interesting and instructive. The audience was the largest we have seen at a lecture in Seaforth for a long time. CHURCH OPENING. - St. ThOmaff Church Wa$ reopened on Sunday last, after having been closed for several weeks, on account of the repairs and improvements which were going on. -The interior of the church now presents a very handsome appearance\ The chancel has been enlarged and. extended in the rear, the ceiling has been raised, the walls replastered and many .other improvements effected, Rev. Mr. Boom- er, Dean of Huron, preached in the fore- noon and evening, and Rev. Mr. Hard- ing, of Mitchell, in the afternoon. Large audiences were present` at the sev- eral services, and the sermons. preached were appropriate and impressive. - - vs.Harris. It will be remembered, that last winter Messrs Kidd, Killorata Ryan and others ',ere cited before -n, bench of magistrates, ort complaint of the Street Inspector for obstructing the streets The magistrates, con', ictedthee parties. Mr, Kidd and Messrs. Kit - loran & Ryan, however, appealea_ from the decision of the magis- trates to the. County. Court. The appeals were beard at the late sittings of the Quarter Sessions, and the magisteri- al convictions quashed. The Council now maintain that the appeals Were not properly entered, and should, conse- quently, have been dismissed.. They have, accordingly, as the above resolutiont shows,' instructed Mr. Sinclair to move in the Court of Queen's Bench for a writ of prohibiti n. If the Court of Queen's Bench deci e that the appeals were prop- erty enteied, then this application will be refused, and thn decision of the Quar- ter Sessions will hold good, But if it is decided that the appeals were not 'prop- erly entered, then the decision of the Quarter Sessions wili be set aside, and the convictions of the magistrates remain in force the same as if no appeal's had been made. celebrated :and enjoyed by the people. We anticipate on that daythe assem- blage in Brussels of the largest crowd ever witnessed in these parts. THE ARBITRATION, - The village of Brussels has selected Mr D D. Hay, of Listowel, as their arbitrator to settle the proportion of the debt of the tOwn- ship of Morris which will be assumed by • the village. Mr. Archibald Bishop, Warden of the County, and Reeve of Usborne, has been chosen by • Morris as arbitrator. Mr, Robert Gardiner, Dep- uty -Reeve of Hibbert, is the gentleman chosen as the third arbitrator. Better or more capable men could not have been selected, and both the village and town- ship may rest assured that justice will be done. The arbitrators are to have their first meeting on Wednesday, the 2d. of July. PERSONAL Mr. W. H. Lowe, who met with so serious an accident at Clinton station, a few weeks ago'was in -town this week. . We are glad to see this gen- tleman around again, and, considering the ordeal through which he hare passed, looking so well. -Mr.Frank McPhillips. son .of 'George McPhilips, Esq., late cif this village, ar- rivecrhere from Manitoba on Monday night last. Mr. McPhillips speaks in terms of the highest praise- of Manitoba, and says that he fully intends making it his future home. He intends returning in about a month, when he will take his mother and sisters with him. • -Our genial townsman, Mr. Frank Paltridge, having disposed of his busi- ness in Seaforth, intends removing to Galt about 'the lst of July, where he will again embark in the photographing busi- ness. Mr. ,Paltridge has also receivN the appointment of leader of psalmody in the Uniofi Presbyterian Church, Galt. Ceitous.-Dan Rice's Circus gave two performances in Seaforth on Friday last. The • attendance was fair, but -mot so: large as we have been accustomed to see at circuses here in times past. • Compare ativdy few of the andience were from the country. Whether Our farmer friends. are too busy in the fields to come to a circus, or whether they are econom- • izing in prospect of short - crops, or whether they are waiting in expectation of Barnum's coming, we cannot say, but, certain it is. not many of them Patroniz- ed. Mr. Daniel Rice on Friday last. As for the show itself, it Was moderately good, only O great imrrovern.ent might have been .effected by giving a little -more circus and a little less Dan Rice. CONCERT. -The- concert' • on Monday evening last, given under the auspices of St. Thomas' Church, was highly success- ful. The performers were all new to a Seaforth aucience, but, judging from the favor with which their efforts were re- ceived,- they would be heirtily. welcomed should they omeany future occasion ap- • pear before ns. Theseveral songs of Mr. and Mrs. Dixie Watson and Dr. Sippi - were enthusiastically received. and •eu- cored, while the playing of Miss King • and the singing of Mrs. Sherman, Mr. Stewart and Mr. Sedgwick gave equal satisfaction.' • The Mitchell European Band, considering that they have only recently been organized, played in a high7 ly creditable manner, and added ninch to the value of the programme. DoeteertoNe.-The editorial life is not one of unmixed felicitir-it is a record of trials rather than triumphs, of struggles rather than, . successes But there are times whea we are disposed to jubildte • in our occupation, to exalt our calling, and even to exultantly enquire, "Who -would )not be an editor ?"'

A HORSE FALL INTO A WELL. -We regret,to learn that on Friday last, Mrs. Scott; - (Burnside,) Fourth Concession, McKillop, lost a valuable young horse in rather a . peculiar manner. The horse was grazing in the yard at the house, and for some reason came up to the pump, and got on the platform cdvering the well. The platform gave way under the weight, and the aliimal fell in. The well was about 27 feet deep. Wheel first noticed, the horse was resting on two sticks which wbre across in the well, about half way down. An effort was made to get a rope around the &m- ind, in order to draw him up, but before this could be accomplished, he commenc- ed struggling,. and finally slipped through between the sticks, and*fell to the bottom of the well, taking a consid- erable portion of the stones of the well down on top of him, which killed him in a short time. The horse was a very valuable one, $150 having been refused for him at different times. Besides los- ing the horse, thedamege done to the well was very co siderable. erville.

SALE OF Lors. - Mr. Stretton'e sale of lots took place. on Wednesday last. Quite number of people were on the ground, among whom were several from a distance. Only a few lots were sold, however, but those which were knocked down went at good prices. NEW ENTERPRIZE.-Messrs. M. & T. Smith .contemplate starting in a short time a stave and heading manufactory. There is a, OW opening tor such an establishment here, as timber is plenti- ful, and the railway will open a good market east of this. The Messrs. Smith are among our most enterprizing citizens, and the. management of such a mailufac- tory could not , possibly fall_ into better hands. COMING IN AteteeDY.-A considerable amount of lumber_ has already been laid down here, awaiting shipment as soon ai the railroad is got in working order. Tan BARK AND TIMBER. -Several strangers hav.e been in Brussels- during the pest week, making arrangements for the puichate of tan ,bark and square timber. • A lame businees. will be done here in these two articles as soon as.the railway is open.

Exeter. • ACCIDENT. -On Saturday last, as Mr. Smale, nj the 2d. Concession of Usborne, was engaged in taking down a number of swings which had been tend at the pic- nic the previous day, he met with a pain- ful accident In climbing up a -tree to Untie the rope, and when quite a distance from the ground, * lost his balance and fell backwards breaking one of his ribs. Teri EFFECTS 01? Noxious GASES. — A few days ago, as Mr. Calloway, of this village, was being let down into Mr. Howard's well, for the purpose of glean- ing it out, and before reaching the bot- tom he called. for the man at the wind- lass to haul him up.' When he reached • the top it was found that from inhaling the impure gases in the well he had be- come insensible, and, had not the rope been firmly secured around. Iiim, he would, undoubtedly, hive fallen to the bottom. • SCHOOL ExAMINATION. -The examina- tion of the pupils of school section No. 5, Usborne, took place on Thursday; the 19th inst. About forty visitors were present, and also a number of neighbor- ing teachers, among whom were Messrs. Tibb, Battle, Armstrong and Allen, who took a very active part in examining the various classes. Mr. Tibb etamined in arithmetic, anatomy, physiology and hy- giene. Mr. Battle examined 'several of the junior classes and. also geometry. The class in natural philosophy was ex- - mined by Mr. Armstrong. It would be injustice to particularize any class, for all were good. The examination upon the whole was very thorough and satis- factory, reflecting credit upon the teacher, Mr. Blatchford. The answers given by the pupils to the various searching, use- ful and important questions were clear, readyand correct, showing that they had been carefully and skillfully taught. The school is in a healthy state, and with respect to proficiency stahds among the first in the township. • At noon all pres- ent were treated to :an excellent and sumptuous dinner. Towards the close of the examination Mr: Tibb delivered a very appropriate and interesting address, in which he appke very itnpressively of the three essential characteristics of every good pupil, viz.: honesty, obedi- ence and industry. At about § o'clock P. M., all parties left for their, homes well pleased: with the day's proceedings. Kippen. IMPROVEMENTS. -Mr. Mellis has re- moved the building occupied by him as a • dwelling and store from the corner north, and is erecting i on the corner a neat building to be used exclusively as a • store.

We understand that the con- gregation have given a unanimous call to a minister, and that there is eery pros- pect of its being aceepted. AGRICULTURAL MEETING. - union meeting of the Officers and Directors of the South Huron and Tuckersinith Branch Agricultural Societies was held • at Shaw's Hotel, Kippen, on Wednesday last.

THE 'OSBORNE MORMONS AGAIN. -Our readers will remember that during last winter the inhabitants of the -township of Usborne were visited by preachers be- longing to a sect known in the world as ,Mormone, or as they choose to call them- selves, •' Latter Day Saints." They will also remember • that these above- mentioned preachers had a narrow es- cape from a coat of tar and feathers, from a Vigilance Committee that was organized for the purpose of ridding the neighborhood of these impostor. They, however, disregarding the solemn prom- ises that_were extorted from them that they would never again - visit that locali- ty for religious purposes, again paid that neighborhood another visit of late, and succeeded in baptizing half a score of the inhabitants into the only true faith, al they choose to call it. As it is the opi- nion of mot of the neighborhood that such a.ctions should not be allowed in a civilized community, they thought that it was high time to again call upon their Vigilance Committee to rid: them of the so-called Saints. Accordingly, they as- sembled on the evening of the 3d of 'Tune, and went en maw to the assembl- ed brethren; and; although they met _with a vigorous resistance from. the fe- male. part- of the assembly, armed with clubs, they succeeded in breaking up the meeting, and the preachers were com- pelled. to take up their abode in a neigh- boring marsh for the remainder of the night, The Saints, however, determin- ed not to abandon their work without an effort on their part, assembled on the following night for the purpose of spend- ing a portion of it in their devotions. But, much to their annoyance, the Vigil- ance Committee paid them another visit after the leaders of the Saints had retir- ed for the night to their " downy couch," and surrounding the hoose, called upon the inmates to deliver the Saints up into their hands. One of the Mormons, hearing the calls, thought • that soon:a. than cause. any trouble on his part, he would retire from the scene of action through a back window in his night dress, much to the destruction of the glass; but, being discovered- by his persecutors, he had rather an exciting chase across tbe domains of a 'Couple of * JUNE 27 1873 "N I 111 1 1 If fa, al I I I lanall o k MOMellt time was rather too valuable f0 spend in that manner.
