INCORPORATION. -We understand that, OR account of a portion of the residents of Egmondsille having petitioned the Government not to incorporate that vil- lage with Seaforth, the Government have refused. to do so, unless a counter petiticn containing signatures represent- ing a larger amount of property than the other were forwarded. Such a petition, it seems, could not be obtained, and the Council of Seaforth, have, consequently, withdrawn the application to have Eg- mondville incorporated with Seaforth, and have forwarded a new application to have Seaforth incorporated as a town without Egmondville. We fear the peo- ple of Eg,mondielle will regret, when it is too late, the action they have taken. They have lost an opportunity of weedy benefiting their village which may not again offer in a hurry.

A COLONY FOR MANITOBA. --Mr. W. Pick ford, of Bayfield, returned froqi Manitoba about a fortnight ago. I Pickford made quite an extensive tour 9f the Prairie Province, and eXpresseh him- self as hikhly pleased with the country. -We understand that Mr. Pickford pr poses to endeavor to organize a olonfr for eettlement in Manitoba. The colon would probablyinclude from 100 o 12 families, and Mr. Pickford it in n eoti. tion for the seeming of two tow shis as a basis of operations. The system cf emigrating in colonies has many 1.dvai tagese and parties who design to becom settlers in Manitoba might do well- t conamunicate with Mr. Pickford. Grey. PIC -NIC AND PRESENTATION. Th Cranlaroole Sunday School pic-nic cam off on Thursday, Sept. 19. A th weather was not very fine, it dil not pass off as well as it might have done had it been pleasant. The pic-n c was to begin at 1 1'. M., but on acco ut of the ram a great many did not get there until 5 o'clock. After they hadj done ample justice to the good things which were set before them, Rev. Mr. one& of Brussels, was called to the chant. Thp time -was occupied by vocal music froth. Mr. Dey and his class,,, dialogues f orn a few of the scholars, and addresse froni Rev. Mr. Bodle, Mr. Dey and Mr. II Sperling. • Wheu the addresses wer over, Miss M. Leckie, on behalf f the ladies, read a most' excellent as dress', and presented Mr. Dey with a be utiftd gold watch chain as a token of the love and respect for him. Mr. Dey•• ade a , very. syMpathetie .and touching reply. To encourage the love of natural his- toryeMr. had lardmieed to give „a prize to the boy and girl who gathered the greatest number of: different of dif- lerent kinds of plants The boy that succeeded in collecting the greatest num- ber was John Knight, he number being 134, and the girl who succeed- ed • in collecting the greatest number was • Mary ; Patterson, the number being 52. All seemed to go away very well satisfied, although the rain made it rather disagreeable. Mr. Dey his now gone to Montreal to finish his course at College. Wroxeter. RAILWAY. -The work on the Toronto, Grey and BrueeRailwaY is being rapidly pushed on, the tails beMg laid to within a shert distance of 1.11:yeireter and Gorrie stations, and the energetic contractors, Robinson Bros., expect to have a train running from that etation for the accom- modation of passenger' ,who infend to be present at the Reform demonstration, to take place at liarriston, on Oct. 8. The ballasting in Minto is nearly completed, and, when running, the Toronto, Grey and Bruce will supply a wait long and badly felt by the farnaers and the inhabitants of the neighboring townehips in general. Instead of having to them their grain and other produce over 20 miles as bd- fore, they will have a market almost at their doors. The village of Wroxeter, being situated.on a bend of the Toronto, Grey and Bruce, which here takes a turn to the north, is most advantageously situated for the reception of the trade of the surrounding country. The unsup- pliecl tract of country tia the south and west will doubtless talee advantage of the direct route of the Toronto, Grey and Bruce to ship its freight by it, and as Wroxeter would be the nearest sta- tion, that village will, therefore, receive the benefit of the large amount of traffic which will pass through , it on its way to the station. The trade of the North. will mostly go by Teeswater, Plifford and Wroxeter, and as trade rarely goes backwards on a' railway, the larger por- tion will come to Wroxeter. NEW STORE. -Mr. James' Young, of this place, and Mr. Hearn, formerly of Wingham, inteed to open out a new store in this village. Usborne. • SQUIRREL HUNT. -The annual Lum- ley squirrel hunt took p ce ou Monday, Sept. 21. The captains this year were Messrs.. Thomas and Tann. The two parties met at Lumley about daylight in the morning, and inuned ately set out to scour the country in every direction in search of game. The day being fine and game plenty, they were Very successful. In the evening, when they met again, it was found that Ceptain Thomas' party scored 5,100 and Captain -Trann's 4,500, giving a majorityfor the former of. 600 points. The sportsmen then- sae down to an excellent supper, after which the day's amusement was wound up with a social dance, which was well at- tended. Exeter .! [FROM THE TIMES.] THE COLLECTORSHIP. -The Exeter vil- lage Council are becoming extravagant. They have engaged a collector at the enormous salary of nothing: The man who works for nothing and boards him- self should become fut. THE NEW Sosoc. The new school building in Exeter is really a fine struc- ture, having four large rooms below, and three above. The second story is reach- ed from inidwaY in the building by as- cending either one or the other of two flights of heavy oaken stairs which lead to the right and left. At the top is the hat -room. A large and spacious room is formed in the second story, which will be used for a time a.s a reception room. The building reflects ceedit on the con- tractor, ,Mr. Ross. . A NEW -STREET. -A movement is now on foot for the purchase of the Keddy lot, north of Mr. Broderick's store. It is to be used by the corporation as a street; this is a much needed conveni- ence, and we are glad that the matter has been taken in hand, for the distance between the two streets now in existence is too great. We understand the lot in question can be purchas- ed for $1,000. A petition fs in circulation asking the Council to grant about $400 of the suni required for the purchase, and private individuals gearantee the rest. THE Some Reie-inee Snow. -There is every prospect of the South Riding show, which is to be held in Exeter on Monday and Tuesday next, being the best ever held in -Huron. The number of entries will be large, and the exhibition of stock, &c., will be unsurpassed in quality. The staunch farmers of this community right- ly feel proud of the display at their show. in music, there will be vast competition. It is thought that no less than five brass bands will be in competition -the God- erich, Clinton, Winchelsea, Zurich and Exeter. Several organ companies will be represented. So may- it be. Howick. COUNCIL MEErING. - The Howick Municipal Council met at Wroxeter on Sept. 16. Members. all present; the Reeve in the chair. Minutes oflast meeting read end approved.

In the matter of William Earngey's road, re- garding which he has made application this ,day to the Council to have a, quit- claim for the road allowance for ;which the Council holds a lease from him, moved by Mr. Weir, seconded by Mr. Evans, that a quit -claim for the road al- lowance Of part of sideline between Lots 10 and 11, on Con. 8, be obtained by the Council from William Earngey on con- dition that the Council agree to give him a quit -claim for that portion of his land leased by him to the Couneil for a public road, and retaining for the use of the pub- lic the right to travel the road for so long a time as the bridge at present in use, and which was erected by the Coun- cil, is safe; Mr. Earngey to have the privilege of having hill control of the Railway, and the Reeve and Mr. Earn- gey to have the proper instruments to carry out the intention of this rnotion executed. -Carried. Accounts forward- ed, and the Reeve authorized to issue debentures for payment: James Lunn, $50, for building bridge on Cone. 10 and 11, opposite Lot 27; George Hainstock,- $25, for putting in a culvert at Lakelet ; Richard Bennett, 150, on contract on sideline between Ljts 5 and 6, Cons. 15 and 16. Moved by Mr. Weir, seconded by Mr. Gregg, that $2,000 out of the Municipal Loan Fund be appropriated to purchase debentures of the villages of Gorrie and. Wroxeter, given in aid of the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway Com- -7 p rry---Carried: Council adjourned to m et in Gorrie on the third Wednesday in October.
