Seed Show.
The annual seed show under the aus-
pices of the Tuckersmith Branch Agri-
cultural Society was held in the Socie-
ty's hall, Seaforth, on Thursday, and.
was probably one of the best that., has
ever been held. here. The deSplay .of
grain and seeds was fully as large as in
precedine years, and embraced some
splendiespecimens, the samples of wheat
being especially good.. The display of
barley .was likewise excellent, both in
quality and quantity,! while peas, oats,
and the other grains. were fully up to the
mark. In seedss' the show was large
and good, but the display of potatoes,
although exhibiting a fine sample, was
wofully small, there being -only one bag
on exhibition,. a falling off attributable
to the fact that most of the potatoes
have been frozen during the recent cold
weather. The following are the names
of the judges : John Beattie Seaforth ;
adopled. Your committee would most
respectfully submit to you their report of
the transaction, and result of the season
of 1874 in connection. with the Londes-
borough cheese factory, and, although.
there i8. a large falling off irt the -quane
tity of milk supplied. this season as com-
pared with last, yet the returns have
been materielly bettered to what they
have ever been in any previous year.
We hope this fact may stimulate the
patrons to a more hearty support in the
.coming year. We believe the enterprise
to be a good one, and ought to commend
itself to the careful consideration of all
until we make the Lohdesborough cheese
factory one of the best in the Dominion,
located. as it is in -..such a well adapted
settlement for improved farms and ex-
cellent pasturages. .Annexed we give
you a statement showing the quantity
of milk received each month, and the
quantity of Milk it took to make a
pound of cheese in each month, and. the
amount paid to the patron for 10 pounds
milk in each month; a.,Iso the total
amount paid out for the season, with the
yearly average of milk to the pound df
cheese, and we hope from the very large
increase in this respect that next year
will prove to be "one of the -very best
years that we he ve ever had.

Soma e.—The young men of the Wes-
\ leyan Church gave a social on Wednes-
day evening, for the benefit of the poor.
The several readings, the selections of
mu usic and the entire proceedings were
most praiseworthy, as was evinced by
the". assembly present. The response
was truly liberal. The practical sym-
pathy of the young men on behalf of the
needy is highly commendable, and we
congratulate them on their success. t
THE SOCIA.L.--The social, under the
auspices of the Presbyterian Sunday
School, on Monda,3r evening last, was a
very pleasant and successful affair. Ex-
cellent musical selections were given by
Mr. Robertson, of Hamilton, the chil-
dren, andthechurch choir. Rev. Mr.

Prince,' was a splendid animal, and the
price realized for him was a good one,
and we have no doubt the purchasers will
realize from. their purchase a good. return,
its horses of his class fetch a much bet-

thi, n c,njunction with the object for

THAT TALL CHorrING.--.In yoUr last

your corrapondent has any money co

parties from whom (according to -your
correspondent) we receivedl so many
challenges backed. by large sums of
money-. However, we haven't seen any
of their money yet. There are a few
who talked a good deal about betting,
but when we offered to put np money
they backed out. He also stated_ that
we were so exhausted with the great
leaf that we have not /been seen in the
vicinity of the chopi.)i.ig, since; but he is
wrong there, too, for we chopped in- the
same bush about a week after, until we
had as much wood. chopped as Mr.
Carter wanted. It was not fatigue, but
stormy -weather, that kept us frOM chop-
ing the next few days. Your corres-
pondent says that eve have kept very
quiet in one of the little -villages of Hul-
lett. We suppose that Kinburn is the
little village he has reference to, but we
would like to know where, we should stop
if not at home in Kinburn. He says

since left for some other quiet: nook,
from which no doubt we will emerge in
the spring when the chopping season is
over. If any person Ilan wanted to see
us they could easily have found us, for
we have been at home in Kinburn most
of the time since, and not hidden as if

purchased about 14 months since, and
have never had. the slightest trouble
with it ; in fact, it is running A 'any-

the difference in price between it and the
common sewing machines, as I can hem
any width desired, from the common
pocket handkerchief hem to the widest `1
u -sed. for dresses, withont change, for
either fine or coarse goods, either straight
or on the bias, without basting or then-

tening seams, is also another_ point I
would not now the without, a9I find it
renders the work more durable, and be-
ing so easily managed, it saves aegreat
deal of time. I have used several other
kinds of sewing machines, both here and.
in the States, and must say I have never
seen any that have given me such real
satisfaction on all kinds of work. I ale°
consider it the handsomest and most si-
