Seed Fair. The Alnual Seed Fair of the Tucker - smith Beanch Agricultural Society was helcl on Friday last. The attendance of. spectato s was very fair, but there was not so nuch oroduce on exhibition as has been on some former occasions. The quality of that • shown, was, however, mostcrefditable„ and could not have been surpassed in any County in the Province. The weether was pleasant, but the roads were not farorable,there being neither good sleighing nor wheeling. This lot - tee circiimstance accounts, no doubt, in great Measure, for the small display of proclueqd exhibited.

CHEESE FACTORY MILTING. -A meet- ing of the patrons of the Brussels Cheese Factory, for the purpose of revising the Auditors' report, &c., was held in Par- ker's Hall, on Friday afternoon last. There was a goodly number of the pat- rons present. The Auditors' report, which was read and passed, showed. that the amount of milk: delivered at the fac- tory for the season was 684,873 pounds, from which 64,789 poueds of cheese had been made, being 10i pounds, nearly, of milk to one pound of cheese, which, af- ter deductingthe cost of manufacturing, hauling, &c., realized the patrons 74 cents per pound. Mr. Leckie is about renting the factory to Mr. Hugh McCart- ney, of Grey, but it will be run the coming season whether rented or not. PENN Y READINGS. -The Penny Read- ings held on Thursday evening, Feb. 19, were a great success in both the carrying out of the progrannue mid the number of the audience, the Hall being filled to its utmost, even all the standing room being taken up. We are glad to see the pub! lie taking such interest in these enter- tainments, and hope they will continue to do so until the close .of the season. As we have said before, the programme was carried out very successfully by all who took part in it, but we cannot allow to pass without special mention the su- perior manner in which the reading en- titled. "Woman's Rights" was delivered. by Miss Barton, of Brussels, and we hope before the close of the season that she will favor the public with another reading. -Mrs. Sage's performances on the musical glasses were highly appre- ciated. The next Readings will be held on Thursday evening, March 6, when piano music will be substituted for the organ. A good programme is being pre- pared, which will be issued on the Tues- day previous. BIBLE SOCIETY. -The annual meeting of the British and Foreign Bible Society will be held in the New Connection Methodist Church on Friday evening, March 6, when the agent will be pres- ent to address the meeting. Clinton. EDucanortaa.--Whether is it the pop- ulation or the thirst for education that is increasing in Clinton? Two or three years ago; the public school was under the care of six teachers; now seven are found to be indispensable. The High School, which was, at that time, taught by one teacher, and held in one room, has- been increased by another teacher, together with a,n additional room. The school is in a very flourishing condition, • so much so that, owing to the increase of pupils lately, the board of trustees at their last meeting, took into considera- tion the need of having a High School building erected. It is attracting pupils from great distances, and. has a very fa- vorable prospect at present of rising still higher in renown, as there are two •preparing for Toronto University next fall. one of them for honors, and two for McGill University, Montreal. Let us hope that they may all succeed in such a manner as -both to make them-. selves renowned and to reflect credit on Clinton High School. - 81tamaa CAR SIVA L. -The second mass- 1 querade of the season was given on the , Clinton skating rink, on ;Wednesday of last week.'
