PERSONAL. - W. F. Luxton, Esq.,
M. P. P., of Winnipeg,- formerly con-
nected witb. THE HURON EXPOSITOR, now
editor of the Manitoba Free Press, the
leading journal of that Province, has been
on a tour through Canada. Hie old
friends in Seaforth, though not having
the pleasure of a call from him, hear with
pleasure of, the honorable and influen-
tial position he occupies in the North
West Province, and heartily wish him
continued prosperity in the land of his
adoption.
FOUR. PAGES EXTRA. -On account of
so much of otir paper beingtaken up by
reports of the different- fall shows -no
less than eight appearing in this. issue -
and business announcements, especially
that of Messrs .Duncan & Duncan and
Win. Hill, which speak for themselves,
and will well repay perusal, we this week
issue THE EXPOSITOR in twelve page
form, being four pages more than usual,
thus giving our advertisers ample accom-
modation to place their business facilities
prominently before the public, and not
doing so at the expense of our readers,
as we still give more than the usual
amount of reading matter.
Deem -On Friday last there was a
great fall in - boots in one of our shoe
stores on Main street, On the morning
- in question a boot and shoe "drummer"
was in the said shop having a conversa-
tion with the proprietor about business.
Overhead there was some scantling nail --
ed to the ceiling, on whieh about 200
pairs of long boots were hung, when sud-
denly the board, to which the scantlings
were nailed, being insecurely fastened,
gave way, causing the boots to fall down,
completely enveloping the "drummer,"
After some difficulty he was extricated
from his uncomfortable position, none
the worse of his mishap. The great won-
der is that the consequences did not re-
sult more seriously, for had they fallen on
his head there might have been a fatal
catastrophe to chronicle, instead of a
"drummer's" adventure. -,
THE S EA voirrn LITERARY 80er ET Y. -
As the weather is now getting cold and
the nights long we think that it is about
time thatthie society was reorganized for
the season. It will be remembered that
last spring when the meetings broke up
for the summer months, it was resolved
to reorganize some time in October. We
would, therefore recommend that a, meet-
ing be held in the Mechanics' Institute
rooms next Monday evening for that pur-
pose. As Prof, Travener, the celebrated
elocutionist, is now engaged teaching an
elocution class under the auspices of the
Mechanics' Institute, the reading part of
the Society will, no doubt, far excel the
standard of ::ilast year. Concerning the
debatings, we nre sure they will be as
successful and; interesting as formerly.
We hope to see a large attendance next
Monday evening at the meeting.
NEW FORESTERS' LODOE.-At a meet-
ing held in Seaforth on Monday

occurred on Tuesday evening last to an

fell from the hay loft in his barn to the
floor, a distance of about fourteen feet,
dislocating his shoulder, breaking his
wrist and two ribs, besides being badly
shaken and bruised by the fall, At last
accounts notwithstanding his great age
and numerous injuries he was doing
well.
BASE BALL. -The Kintail base, ball
club played the Lochalsh Clipperlast
Saturday, at Amberly. Owing to tIte, in-
clemency of tke weather, the gaini did
not commence till late in the afternoon,
when it cleared off beautifully, giving the
contestants a fair chance to exercise their
skill. Six innings were played, when
darkness stopped the game. The score
stood 25 for Kintail and 11 for Lochalsh.
The Kintail boys would have done bet-
ter had not an accident happened their
pitcher. At the very commencement of
the game, one of the players while strik-
ing at the ball let go the bat, which fly-
ing with great force, struck the pitcher,
who was but a few feet from the bats -
Mall, inflicting a severe wound on his
forehead. After enjoying a splendid sup-
per and good time at .Mr. Parr's, the
pleyers left for their homes, well satisfied
that base ball is one of the manliest of
games. -Signal.

MBITING.-The district temple, Inde-
pendent Order of Good Templar's, for
South and West Huron, held the eighth
regular meeting in the temperance hall,
Londesborough, on Thursday, Oct, 5,
Nine temples were represented by about
70 delegates, who presented reports from
their reepective lodges, showing a total
membership of 872, being an increase of
23 during the past quarter. Each lodge
seems to be in a prosperous condition,
and working earnestly in the good cause.
The principal business of .ithe day was
the discussion of the Dunkin Act, which
all present seemed anxious to have sub-
mitted to a vote of the ratepayers of the
County. The day's proceedings were
enlivened at intervals by songs, readings
and recitations. Next meeting of tetnple
will be held in KinbUrn, on Dec. 19, at
10 o'clock in the forenoon. In the even-
ing a free entertainment was given in the
hall, consisting of vocal and instrumen-
tal music, speeches, readings and recita-
tions, which wohld have done credit to a
more pretentious town than Londes-
borough. About 10 o'clock the meeting
broke up with the watchword -work till
we succeed,
Brussels.
SPECIAL SERVICES. -Special services
will be held in St. John's Church, Brus-
sels, on Sunday .next, The services will

of the Algoma Mission.
IlizAAR.-The ladies of St. John's
Church held a bazaar in the Town Hall
on the days of the fair, the proceeds of
which are to assist in furnishing their new
church. Besides a number of fancy and
useful articlesithat they had to dispose
of, they had refreshments on a very ex-
tensive scale. On, the first evening,
oysters, tea, and coffee were the princi--
pal refreshments disposed of, but the
second day a regular hot meal was served
up from 11 o'clock a.m. There being a
very large number of people in town
who took advantage of the same. There
being not less than 200 dinners served.
In the evening the remainder of the
made articles were disposed of by auc-
tion. The proceeds of the two days
amounted to $225. The Committee of
ladies who had the bazaar in charge cer-
tainly deserve great praise for the excel-
lent manner iii which they managed the
affair all through. The Committee also
wish to thank the band. for their'kincl-
ness in furnishing the music, Two
ottomans were disposed of,one by ballot,
which was won by Mille Taylor'of Do-
minion Telegraph, this ottoman brought
$25.25, there being 103 tickets sold.

dates being two young for,
Mims
THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
Watorberry and Miss Mass, at the close
of the poll Miss Watea•berry was declared
the winner of the ottoman by some 600
votee. This ottiman taised $51, As
this last bad been going on all day it
caused a great deal of amusement, the
candidates and their friends exerting
themselves each for their own candidate,
the votes being cast at 5 cents each.
The whole affair closed very successfully
and the ladies wish to thank their
friends and all that were so kind as to
assist them in any manner.
CHURCH OPENING. -The new Canada
Methodist church (known as Curry's
church,) was dedicated to divine service
on Sunday, Oct. 1st, by Rev. Charles
Lavell, M. A.. preaching morning and
evening, and Rev. Hulburt in the af-
ternoon. Although the day was un-
favorable and the roads bad, there was
a fair attendance at each service. The
collections taken up for the aid of the
church fund amounted to $22. The Mon-
day evening following there was a tea
meeting in aid ef the church fund, and
on the Friday evening following a social,
in the three Sabbath collections and tea

faculty in discoursing sweet music dur-

THE LISTOWEL ACCIDENT. -Mr. Henry
Hastie, an employe in Climie & Bradley's
sawmill, Listowel, came to a shocking
death there last week. It seems that he
was working near the large circular saw,
and by some means or 'other he fell di-
rectly upon it, and had a leg and an arm
almost completely severed from his body.
He was immediately taken up and med-
i;a1 aid procured„ but in spite of all that
could be done he died wIthin 24 hours
after the accident. Mr. Hastie was a
young, unmarried man, about 23 yeara of
age, a splendid specimen of stalwart man-
hood, and bore the reputation of being
"the tallest man in Howick." He was
a son of Wm. Hastie, Esq., Howick, and
was of a kindly disposition and excellent
character.
UNUSUAL -A couple of drunken ye/
grants -man and wife -came into town
the other day, and during their short
stay succeeded in raising no Bruen stir,
and providing amusement for a certain
class who delight in such spectacles.
Their combative tendencies led them to
engage in a public set-to on the . street,
with a numNr. of admiring pedestrians
,
as an andeinokte whom the sigh on onr
nruilly orderly streets was st el one.
After wallowing in the mud, and wallop-
ing to their heart's content themselves
and anyone who attempted to interfere
they retired up street followed by a
crowd of hooting youngsters, and appar-
ently endeavoring to find a resting place
for the night. The sobering effects of a
night's lodging in the lockup hes been
known to reduce the spirits and quell the
outrageousnese of such characters.
HIIRRICAN.E.-D ring the windy weath-
er last week a sudden gust of wind pass-
ed over the village, in its course remov-
ing a large portion of the roof of the
Presbyterian church. The path of the
hurricane 'seemed to be about ten yards
wide, and other effects of its course have
been noted,soch as levelled fences, houses
shaken from roof to foundation, and even
field roots lifted bodily out of the ground
and carried along with the wind.
•
East Riding Show.
The Best Riding of Huron Agricultural
Society's Show was held at Brussels on
Tuesday and Wednesday last. The show
on the whole was scarcely as good as ex-
pected, no doubt owing to the fearful
condition of the roads. The display in
the hall, with the exception of a fair ex-
hibit of grain and ladies work was very
much limited. In spring and fall wheat
Messrs, William Smith, R. Work
William Evans and W. G. Hing-
ston showed fine samples, the grain
lacking much of the shrunken appearance
so prevalent this season. Other grains
were fairly represented. Of fruit
there was a small exhibit, but although
limited ,in quantity the quality was
quite the reverse. The articles in this
class shown by Messrs. R. Broadfoot A.
Stewart, Sr, ,R. Fergus on and many others
were quite worthy of mention. The show
of butter was also passable, many fine
specimens being on exhibition. In the
ladies' department, among the many
beautiful and charming articles that met
the gaze, three cases of millinery shown
respectively by Messrs. J. R. Smith &
Co., R C. Rogers, and Wm. Tufts &
Co. were greatly admired. Some beauti-
ful pencil drawings were shown. by Miss
Janet Thomson, of Brussels, the design
and finish being exceedingly creditable
to an 'ainateur. The sketches executed
by Master Johnnie Thompson, son of Mr.
Wm. Thompson, of Howie a young lad
only 10 years old, showed eat merit for
an artist of his age, his English scene,
1?
"The Death of the Old Year," being
beautifully designed. He displays great
promise of becoming a fine sketcher with
practice and years. In domestic manu-
factures and fine arts there was only a
limited exhibit. The attraction in the hall
was much improved by the music sup-
plied by Mr. Wm. Harris, of Brussels,
with his organ. We notice that our old'
friend, Mr. F. Patterson. of Bluevale,the
great bird fancier, was on hand. with two
or three cages of canaries. Mr. J. E.
Smith, of Brussels, proved no mean rival
to contend with in that line. Outside,
the show was more extensive and com-
petition brisker. Horses especially were
well represented, showing a great im-
provement over last year. East Huron -
is gradually following the example set by
its distinguished neighbor the South Rid-
ing, and -we have no doubt that ere long
the former will become a formidable rival
and share many of the honors now held
by the latter. It only reqinirefs a few
more such as Messrs. Robt Brown, Jas.
Johnston and some others, whose names
will be found in the honor list, given
hereafter, to exert similar enterprise and
perseverance, and East Huron's reputa-
tion for horses and live stock is gained.
Wa are also glad to notice that the far-
mers of (irey and Morris have not for-
gotten the importance attached to the
raising of good cattle. 'There was a real-
ly excellent show of all ages and sexes
on Wednesday. Messrs. R. Brown, J.
Sample, A. Hyslop and 3. Johnston's
stocks make almost a Provincial show
among themselves. In sheep and hogs,
too, there was a fine display. Messrs.
W. G. Hingston,`J. Sample and J. Rob-
ertson, of Morris, and A. Hyslop, T.
Calder, D. Ferguson, J. Simeon and R.
McDonald were the principal competit-
ors among the former, and C. Davis, J,
Robertson, R. Martin and D. McLaugh-
lin in the latter. In implements there
was a pretty fair exhibit. Carriages and
wagons were chiefly represented by John
Brunsden, of Londesborough, and T.
Watson, of Brussels. In this class W.
R. Wilson, of Brussels, took prizes for
plows; A. Whitelaw, of Seaforth, for
turnip seed drill, and Messrs. Pillman &
Co., of Seafortb, for horse ohoes.
The Brussels brass band, a young in-
stitution of no small amount of merit,
was in attendance on the afternoon of
the second day. It is making rapid ad-.
vances towards becoming one of the first
class amateur bands in the Province.
We trust that next year the farmers
of East Humn will come out in full force
with their grain, roots, vegetables, &c.
at their fall show. The ladies, too,
must try and do better another time.
We have not the least fear but that no
effort will be neglected to make the next
show, so far as live stock is concerned,
the best ever held under the auspices of
the Society, but the hall department must
not be overlooked.
We give as much of the prize list as
could be obtained, one or two of the
judge's books, those containing the prizeil
for dairy produce and manufactures, not
having been handed to the Secretary.
We hope to be able to givb the missing
portion next week.-- The following is the
honor list so far as obtained :
