'On. Tuesday evening there was also e good house, but not nearly soi many as on the previous' e•vening. Both performances were excellent and were la*hly -pleasing to the audienbe. • .- Mr. - Charles Sullivan, in his cheracters -of an Irishman, could not be surpassed, and his comicelities kept the audience in a continuous roar of laughter. The -other m•enibers of the company else did well. The paintings of Irish scenery were ac- curate and pleasing, Uhen the_ whole, the entertainments were the hest we have had for some time, and. were deserving of the liberal patronage awarded. - • D. C, BELL'S READINGS, —All circum- stances considered, the attendence at Mr. Bell's readings last Friday, was bet- ter than was anticipated. Mr. Bell's" ap- pearance is -prepossessing, and impresses one with the idea of a thorough gentle- man. The readings ,were really extele lent, although some of the piece were very diffieult. His rendering (if "Bar - dell vereus Pickwick" •cceildhardly be surpassed, and the same may be said of Mr. Caudle's certain lectures, while his rendering of the more general pieces was truly excellent. It is to be hoped that we have net heardthe last ofithis gentle- man's reading, and certainly should •ho come' again, he at the very least, 'get the seem - audience again. 'Might not Seaforth tura out a better audience, than it usually does, for of seeing both looking more blooming than ever. _ -- --t----e-;-- THE T tr cam i t se ern SPRING SHOW.— ithe Annual Spring Seed Show of the Tuckersmith Braneh.

Fin- lay, George Evans and Henry Cook— and a rink of Reformers—Messrs. James Thomson; skip, Remy Horton, E. Mar- tin and Thomas Hood.

DARING ROBBERY.—On Tuesday of last week a young man named McLean arrived at the Colborne Hotel in com- pany with a man named McBride. -Mc- Lean had got $100 on his person which he had brought with him to pay Shep- pard. and Strachan on his brother's ac- count, who lites in Kintail. No notice was taken of the two, except that Mc- Bride got some lignoe to carry to one of tb e rooms, imtil McLean was seen to act rather strangely in the bar room. On being questioned it was feund that he bad been -sobbed of the $100. Inquiry was at once made and it was found that he had paid one of Polley's drivers to take him to Bayfield. On reaching Bay- field he told. the driver, as they were retiring, that he would sleep with -his clothes on as he expected there would be eome.fun before morning.. He made his way to Varna, where he was arrested, - but being allowed to go out of sight of the constables he escaped, and his likely in the dominion of Uncle Sam by this time. It is enite evident that a change is needful in our police arrangements. THE SALT Biemas.—Owing to the ex- treme dullness of the salt market and the low price of the artiele, theseveral works in town have been closed for some time. -This has been an unfortunate oc- currenee for the town, as a large number of men have been out of employment, and the effect ou the mercantile trade must have been considera,bly felt. We understand that all the salt works in the County, as well as those of Kincardine, have been closed up for the same reason. - THE NEW M A so SIC HALT,. —The dedi- cation of the new Masonic Hall, will take place' on Wednesday, March 3, The dedicatory ceremony will take place in the afternoon, and in the evening the FA RN S01,1). ---Mr. Joseph Lake has . soh his f erne Lot 8, C ein . 8, 1 uckersmith, to- Mr. John Cowan for $3,920.

G. McDougall has disposed of his interest in the Brucetield Cheese Factory to Mr. Wm, Baird, of Stanley, for $2,600. Morris.. A STRANGE CASE: --On. Saturday last while a young lad, named William Spiers, was returning from school on the. 5th concession of Morris, he saw traelis in the snow into the swamp at lot 15, which curiosity impelled him- to follow; and -which eventually brought him to a small fire in the bush, alongside ..of which he saw a man in a very miser- able and abject condition. - The strange being hacl on an old tattered pair of pants, three smoch frocks so old and torn that they failed to cover his chest and neck, which parts were exposed to the cold cutting winter blasts, an old dilapi- dated. 'hat, and a pail' of mits, which were but a poor coveriug for his hands against the inclemency of the weather. One of the said mits had a .hole an the centreaucl the wretched being had. a small patch of cloth, which he placed over the hole as a weather protector. His face was 'completely frozen and bore other marks of exposure and suffering. It appears that the unfortunate man, whose name is William Sinillie, is in- sane, has been -wandering through the -swamps in the township e of Morris, Hovvick and Grey during the past to years and has time and again refused offers of aseistenee, preferring to meander aimlessly .about as his feeling prompted. When pressed by hanger, he'goee to the nearest house and demands and partakes of a hearty meal, and be avers that one good dinner will do him for a week. He gauges his capacity by the aid of a• broad belt which he wears around his waist, a.ncl when mains,- he slackens it to ,the last hole wherethebuckle catches, and surfeits himself until his stomach swells, so as to tighten the belt. Then he con- siders that he has eaten enough, and departs again to the swamp. As the effects of his gorge die away, he gradual - ly tightens his belt until the last Wade, hole on the inside is reached, -svhen he again becomes conscious of the pangs of hunger, and sallies forth once more in search of fool He states that he has a beother living in the township of Monis, but prefers to stay by himself, and. says he is happy in his wanderings. The poor fellove- actually feels proud of his mode pf living fit sumnaer time, but says that the present winter has thus far been a hard one on people who live in the swamp without a roof over their heads. The municipal anthorities of Morris should at once take the 'necessary steps to have this poor creature placed in safe- keeping, as it is a disgrace to the com- munity at large that any unfortunate being should be left to suffer from ex- posure without efforts being put forth to place him where he will not be allowed to iiiidergo his voluntary privations. -- Post.

FARMERS' CLU13. —At aeneeting of the Kinburu Farmers' Club, held on the evening of Friday, the Twentyninth of January, a communication was read from the Tuckersrnith Farmers' Club, asking the Hullett Farmers' Club to as- sist them in carrying out some scheme for the abolition of Clinton market fees. The Matter was taken achwarmly by the club, and freely discussed, and. the gen- eral opinion given was that market fees are an imposition, and that it is the duty of all farmers to withdraw their custom, so far as possible, from all places where such impositions are practised. It was then resolved that so many of the mem- bers of the Kinburn Farmers' Club as can make it convenient shall visit the Tuckersmith Club on their next night of meeting, and the united clubs form a basis of action in the matter. It was also resolved that we meet amain on the evening of Friday next in order that we may take immediate action in the matter. JOHN WILLIAMS, Secy.

The annual meeting of the members of the Hallett Immigration. Aid iSociety was held in. the Town Halle Clihton, on the lst inst. H. Snell, Presidenp, in the chair: Mantes Of former meeting read and 'confirmed. The board of manage- ment submitted. the following report: The board of management of the Hullett Immigration Aid Society, in submitting their first annual report to the members of said. society, beg to congratulate them on the successthat has attended their efforts during the first year of the exist% mice of said society, having obtained and being the means of bringing into this County during last summer not less than one hundred unneigrants and during the basiest season, when sufficient hands could not have been obtained in ,our own neighborhood at any price, most of which have proved to be useful farm hands, al- though a few of.thenr have not turned out to be as good. as could have been de- sired. This, however, neednet be, a matter of surprise, as your directors had to take thein from arrivals of all kinds from all parts of the old county, and the best they could do was to take the best they could get or none at all. With re- gard to the cost of procuring them we would say that the Immigration Depart- ment of Ontario paid their fare to Chu - ton, but as we had no place for their re- ception and accommodation, were under the necessity of boarding them at taverns, costing the society about $100, or $1 per head. Another inatter that consider- ably embarrassecl your directors was th*. difficulty in distributing them satis- factorily and finding houses for them, as a great proportion of them were -families. Your directors would respectfully. Ineons- mend. that this !moiety be ediverted into a County Society, as several townships are already represented in Our member- ship, and set-eial of the immigrants are now living in other townships. BY so doing we think that we should gain many more members, and would. benefit the society more in. d-oing -so than to con- fine -it to one township, and it would give us strength and a prestige that we can- not expect to attain as we are. This was strongly recommended. by the Immi- gration Department to your Secretary wheu in Toronto last sumnaer. Moved by Mr. Wise, seconded. by Mr. 'Middle- ton, that the report just read be adopted —Carried. The • treasurer's report was then read, showing a balance in treas- urer's hands of $36.65. it was moved by Mr. Cumming, second.ed by Mr. C. -Middleton, that the treaaurer's report be adopted— Carried. Moved by Mr. -Wise, seconded by Mr. Johnson, that this eociety be changed into a County so- b eiety, to be called the'"Iluron lminigra tion Aid Society," and that the Secre- tary send the constitution to the Minis- ter of Agriculture and Publie Works of Ontario, asking him to change the name as aforesaid—Carried. Moved by Mr. Snell, seconded by Mr, 'Wise. that Chas. Middleton be President for the present year—Caened. Moved by Mr. Snell, seconded by Mr. Cumming, that James Braithwaite be reappointed. Secretary - Treasurer for the present year—Carried. Moved by Mr. Stiver'seconded by Mr. Cumming, that the following gentlemen compose the board of management for the present year, viz.: E.

Honse KILLED. —Mr. Saunders Frayne lost a honk on Monday evening last, under very peculiar circumstances. Be had undertaken to drive some young folks out to a dance held. at a farm house, and with a load. of about twenty-five persons was proceeding thieher when they encountered a man named Edward Bryans, who was going in the opPosite directionewith a cutter. Frayne stopped. his sleigh in the mid9.1e of the road, and. some of his companione got out alai offer- ed to assistBryans' cutter inpassing at one side. The latter, however, demanded half the road; which Frayne would be unable to give, with such a large number of young fellows and girls aboard. In the midst of the parley, Bryaim urged. his horse Onward, and. it sprang fore ard, driving one of the shafts of the cutter about 18 inches into the breast of one of the horses driven by Frayne. The poor creature bled to death within three min- utes. This is as fair a statement of the against the collection of naarket fees, air ,ittir w.T.re have been able to obtain. sCHOOL HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE. — which he considered a great injustice to On Thursday evening of last week the the farming community. He understood that the Clinton people were now nego- tiating with Seaforth in order to produce a renewal of the system in that place, ancl said that means should be, and must be, devised to prevent ancl to effectually counteract any market fees being collect- ed in either place. Be suggested that petitions should be prepared and circu- lated through the townships for farmers to sign, asking for the entire abolition of all market fees.; the petitions to be pre- sented to the Clinton and Seaforth Coun- cils. William Robb agreed with the last i speaker in that the mposition of fees was a great injastite. There was no equivalent whatever received for the payment of market fees, not even a place of shelter for the farmer's horses. Let the people thee. unanimously contend for their eights in the matter, until they succeed in the final overthrow of this grievance. Mr. John McMillan was of,the opinion that a market might be located, as was only right it should be, but that no mar- ket fee should be collected. He did not approve of secret societies, but was in favor of the organization of granges' for the benefit and protection of the farmers. He also thought that a greater number of farmers should be sent to Parliament to look after and promote the interests of agriculturists there. Mr. James Landsborough thought there should be more co-operation among farmers in defence of their rights and.. privileges. As far as marketing produce was cencerned, he could sell to as much advantage at the barn -door as in the market. If the business men of Clinton and Seaforth cannot accede to our de - we can take our produce to Car- ronbrook or elsewhere rather than be imposed on any longer by paying market fees. Mr. Colwell, like all the other speak- ers, denounced the payment of fees as an imposition on the farming community. He complained of the buyers being some- times very inattentive to their work. uently- when farmers entered, the ma ket no buyers were to be seen, ancl they had to go and hunt them up. He thought the farmers had better ship their prhicluce themselves. Mr. James Broadfoot said, as there were markets and buyers further down the road, -nre could make arrangements with them 'for the purchase of our pro- dilcene Oword in conclusion. It was quite noticeable from the tone of conversation in, the meeting, that the farmers of Hui - lett and Tuckersmith are new firmly re- solved to work hand in hand until they accomplish the desired end, that of the entire abolition of market fees, and may other townships, co-operate with us in school house in Section 10, Grey, was burned. to the ground.
