TAYLOR'S CIRCITS. —Taylor's Circes ex-
hibited here on. Monday afternoon and
evening last. In the afternoon the at-
tendanee . was 'very small, but there was
quite a large attendance in the evening.
The performances' generally were yery
good, although things would have passed
off more lielely had there been more var-
iety. Cireases seem to be degenerating,
nowadays. I •
SHOW DAN'S CHANGED. —The Dirretors
of the South Huron Agiicultural SOciety,
in conjunction with those of the Stephen
and Usborne Branch, have decided to

Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 5 and 6, in.
li
stead of TIesd.ay and Wednesday, Oct.
.6 and 7, as formerly announced. This
change has been made on account of
. Mitchell and Ailsa Craig shows being
on the days first selected.

THE BERT) LADDIE. —Mr. Jas. Wylie,
the claampidn checker player, played M
Knox's Ila,14 in this village, on:Friday and.
Saturday list Quite :a 'lumber of the
players of Seaford' aad the surrounding
villages anell, country were in attend-
ance, and many Of them tried their skill
with the old veteran. All, however,
shared pretty nearly alike. Some could
prolong a game to greater length: than
others, but all had to succumb in the
end. We believe that there were but two
drawn game during the two days. One
& an other by Messrs.Jack-
.
of - these 1the4. obtained by Mr. Robert
Fergus
son, polemaa, Vercee and Ferguson, who
plp.yed in co sultation: There are several
good. 'iaei in this vicinity, but Mr.
Wylie can t' ke the conceit out of 'them
all, and not, put himself about 4 ait to
.do it, 'either".

A.CCIDENT. —On Monday evening last,
a naan—a stranger in the vill e—who
was considerably the worse 0r liquor,
veent intorPOwell's stable, and, in spite
.of the warnings of the hostler, persisted
in. amusing himself by walking up be-
hind the horSes in the stalls and hitting
them with. I his hand. He, however,
prectisedd this prank on one too many,
for his ownood, for, no sooner -had he
hit one anima], than it kicked and struck
him on the f reheael with both its, hind
feet, knocking him across the floor of
the stable ' and irtf icting two large
wouncle. The man seas conveyed in an
insensible cOndition to Powell's Ho-
tel, and medical aid obtained. His
wounds were attended (to, and by the
atext morning he had recovered con-
sciousness and become sufficiently sober
to give an account of himeelf. It ap-
pears that hi name is .Joseph Satrino.
He is aii'.1.ngiishman, and. has only been
in this &ouutry about four years. ]-Ie
has no riw1cli or relatives in this coun-
try. e has! heeu enga.ge(l es engineer
on the ellington, Grey and Bruce Rail-
way, an1d latterly on. the Orapd Trunk.
He canie to Seaforth on .I.VIonday fore-
noon. From the severity of his injuries
it will likely be a considerable time be-
fore he will be able to leave his bed, al-
though he is progressing favorably. He
was fortanatelin obtaining suchexeil,

quarters as he has at Mr. Pow

obliging assistant, Me:

KIDD'S SALT WE el—Mr. Joseph
Kidd's salt well, east of Seaforth,
has now reached a d. th of over 700
feet. Boring, th is f r has been very
easy, and with c intink ed success it is
expected that th sal Idepth will be
reached about th 1st of ,October, and
w ork was only..coi s men ed on -the 18th
of July. Of cour e, nct ing definite can
as yet be stated s to he prospects Of
obtaining salt r Itei McEwen has
the contract of smi mg he well, and. the
Work is being procut ( under the man-
agementeof Mr. II e.
HARVEST. --The harVe t has now been
nearly all gathered, an the general re-
mark among farmers is that they never
had a better crop. Of c uri se, some com-
plain, but some will complain, at any
rate, even should they h I forced to make
a grievance of having t uch. Prices,
also, are opening v ry f y, and we may
look forward to a se On of large and
profitable trade. In his country so
much depends apon the f mei. that when
he is in good hunior launches out
liberally in the expendi re of his money,
tradesmen naay have ea nainds. Farm-
ers are now busily p paring for fall
wheat. Some has alr dy been sown'
but it is as yet rat er e ly. It is likely.
that a considerable bre h will be sown
'this year. It is t� be oped, however,
that it will only bc sONS upon suitable
land. Fall wheat, s a le', can only be
grown profitably on gooi rich land, and
farmers who sow it bn a other need not
be surprised if they av but a very poor
show by the time t e fr t leaves in the
spring.
PERSONAL—Mr. 1 Sar ant, the new
Manager of the Grand Tunk. Railway,
passed east. on the ter i;i n express on
Tuesday last. Mr. Sa eant was re-
turning home after1 bei on his first
Our of inspection ov r th road. It has
hitherto been the practe of railway
managers and dignitaries nerally when
traveling, to have a orge sly -furnished
car 'attached to the tirain or their own
accommodation. Te 11 ;w manager,
however, don't put am uch airs'he
rides in the ordinary ass • ger car, along
with " common folk " 1e is making a
good beginning any ay, nd we trust
that his administrati n of the affairs of
the Grand Trunk will be ch as to con -
11
tinue and increase its r sperity ' and
usefulness to the cote try.'
—Mr. James H. Be soul eeve, leaves
for Toronto, -on Mo day or the pur-
pose of making appli ado'," to the Gov-
ernment to have Sea rth I •roclaimed a
town, all the necessarjy f- alities hay -
lug been complied wi h. he Town of
Seaforth ! Don't that soniul nice ?
—It is rumored in Ott a that Mr.
Whitehead, of Huron, wa the lowest
tenderer for grading the Pe bine branch
of the Canadian P cifito. Good for
Joseph. We hope th repo may prove
true ; he is a very zrueh b tter railway
ontractor than politic an.
