'DISTRICT MATTERS.
OnannEs MOORE, Photographer, Sea -
forth, tenders his thanke to his numerous friends
for their extensive and steady patronage, and
begs to assure them that all work produced in
his gallery fa in the highest style of the photo-
grephio art, which his tepidly increasing isontutx-
ion and numerous testimonials amply testify.
C. MOORE deems thi r. sufficient reply to the
contemptible attacka in bills and advertiaements
by &Avid photographer, who, in seeking to do C.
Moonz an 'Wary in hie ,,buitiness, will not only
fail in his object, but- imparil hie own interests.463

Branch Agricultural Society to state

THANKSGIVING DAY. —The Lieutenant
Governor of Ontario has proclaimed
Thursday, Nov. 2, as a general thanks-
giving day throughout the Province. We
may intimate that all business in town
will be suspended on that day. It will
be well for farmers and others to bear this
in mind. •
GEORGE STARR'S .CA.SE.-234.,,the con-
clusion of the trial of the yOtifig--Man,
Geo. Starr, at Goderich, last week, on
the charge of stealing Jas. Mitchell's
tools, the Judge pronounced the prisoner
guilty,_but reserved sentence until the
Court of Queen's Bench at Toronto de-
cide on some questions of law. .
SOMETHING ABOUT SNOw, —Just about
this time the general remark is, "I won-
der when the first snow came down last
-year." We have ascertained that last
year snow fell in this County on -the 22nd
of Sept., and in 1873 on the 20th Sept.
In 1867 snow fell in the month of July,
but it, of course, melted very rapidly.
On this 10th of Oct., 1853, six inches of
snow fell,

don Exhibitions, to Mr. Duncan Fergu-
son of Wyoming. Mr. Ferguson intends

ploughing match which is to take place
near Wyoming on Wednesday next, and*,
this plough is to do the work for him.
•
THE DRAINAGE By- LAW.—The Court
of Revision for the...hearing of appeals
against the assessments of the drainage
by-law'Was held. on Saturday morning.
Some business was transacted, after
which the Court adjourned until' Monday
evening. One appeal was made -but the
Court did not sustain the objection made..
We believe the appellant proposes ,to
bring the matter before Judge Toms.
JOURNALISTIC.—The Liiitowel Banner,
of which Mr. R. Ferguson, well known
in this vicinity, is editor, appeared last
week in a new and improved form. It
has discarded the four-page form, and
donned. an eight -page one, and its gen-
eral get-up is somewhat similar to THE
EXPOSITOR. The new outfit is credit-
able to the enterprise of the proprietors,
and the Bcinner should receive exten-
sive patronage in the district for whi-.1
it is a caterer.
TOWN HALL To-Nioirr.—We would
again call attention to the intimation we
made last iveek, in regard to the literary
and musical entertainment, which will
be given in the Town Hall, this (Friday)
evening,ounder the auspices and for the
benefit of the A1echanics' Institute. All
whose tastes.are intellectually or musi-
cally- inclined, should attend. The
names mentioned last week are a suffi-
cient guarantee that an entertainment of
a high character may be expected.
Tirx IRISTITOW§ 0111311C11.—The brick
work on this building is now omplete,
and the carpenter work is being pushed
forward as rapidly as possible, under the
supervision of _the energetic contractor,
Mr. James Walsh, of Seaforth. The
alterations -are very extensive, both in-
side and out, and include an addition of
about 50 feet to the main body of the
church; beide s this, a spire of 75 feet is
bein,,e added, which will conduce very
much to the appearance of the structure.
We understand that the church will be re-
opened some time about Chriitmas, the
precise date of which, however, due
notice will be given.
-
BURGLARY.—Some time between Sat-
urday night and. -Sunday morning our
town was the tscene of a couple of burg-
laries. It appears that -some sneak thief
wanting to "rig" hiniself--out for the I
winter, entered Mr. Coventry's shoe shop
by raising the back vriudow. After
some search he secured a pair of fine
sewed. calf boots, valued at $7. Trying
to act up as far as possible to the old
proverb, "Fair exchange is no robbery,"
he left what once might have been a calf
boot, and a fancy beaded carpet slipper,
with a piece of elastic band pinned to it
to fasten it on the foot, but now past the.
cobbler's skill to repair. The owner of
these might have worked among mortar
as they were covered with lime. The
thief then turned his attention to'Mr.
Megareys building from which he took
an overcoat belongin'ir to Wm. Smith,
one of bakers, but he left. nothing
there as a remembrance of his visit.
Nothing has since been heard of the
burglar.
DIVISION Comer.—Division Courts
Will be held in Huron during thb Month,
of November, ais follows : At Goderich,
on the 3d; Wingham, 28th; Brussels,
29th; Seaforth, 30th. The Courts will
open at 10 A. M.
ASSIZES.—We now publisliJsome of the
eases tried at the late assizes at•Goderich
which were not in the report last week:
Davis & Watt vs Walker.—Action for
breach of contract in not taking two ear
loads of cattle according to contract.
Verdict for plaintiffs for $145. Mc-
Caughey & Holmested for plaintiffs.
Hodgins vs Dale.- Ejectment: Verdret

for plaintiff. Knox vs Insurance Cone-
naey.--eVerdict for plaintiff, Holmested
fol. defendants.
-to ,
SHIPPED. —Among the various items,
shipped from this country to Britain, and
which proinises to be one of increasing im-
portance, must be ranked the Apple crop,
We are pleased. to notice that Seaforth is
not lacking in enterprise in this particu-
lar. Mr. A. Malcolm, of this place, on
Wednesday, shipped from Seaforth sta-
tion 27 car loads — 3,780 barrels — of
chdice fruit, carefully selected and pack-
ed. He starts to -day (Friday) for Glas-
gow to meet the shipment on its arrival
at that Port. Such energy deserves sup-
port, and we earnestly wish him success,
NORTH CAROLINA COTTON AND CLOVER:
—Mr. Johp. Stoddard of Egmondville
brought to this office a few days, ago
specimens of cotton and clover grown in
his garden froni. seed brought from North
Carolina. The cotton pod was large,
full, and well developed, the cotton was
white and beautifnl, and apparently
rdsdy for picking. The color of the
clever head is the only good point discern-
ible about it, that being as brilliant now;
when the stalk is dry and withered,as
if it had just been plucked from a fres h=
ly blooming field, but we are inclined to
think that Canadian cattle would find it
rather dry feed. -
MORE THIEVING.—One day last week
a satchel was stolen from Conductor
Crawford, of Goderich, while the train
was stopping at the station. A young
man named Martin Burns was taken
charge of by Policeman Delinage, on sus -
p101011 of having purloined the satchel.
Mayor Armitage made a preliminary ex-
amination, and sufficient evidene,e was
adduced to commit the accused to Goder-
IA. A promissory note; purpo ing to
have been.made by Messrs. P ter and
Allan Ross, covering $132, and ayable
12 months after date, was fo nd. in
Burns' possession. The Mess Ross
declare the note to be a forgery.
RUNAWAY.—On Tuesday night last,
as a son of Mr. M. Robertson, furniture
manufacturer of this place, was taking a
team of horses from a wagon at the fac-
tory, at the north "end of the town, he
let them loose, thinking that they would
go to their stable and save him the
trouble of leading them through the mild,
when they both turned to the northward
and ran as far as the corner, a mile and a
half north of the town before the boy suc-
ceeded in capturing them. No damage
was done, but we think that the boy's
boots were a little more besmeared with
mud when he got home with the horsele
than they would have been had. he led
them home from the factory.'
PROPERTY CHANGES.—A considerable
number of property changes have been
made daring the past week. Mr. James
Hatt has sold his house and lot on Wil-
liam street near the school house, to Mr
Z. Derbyshire of Tuckersmith, for $560.
Mr. Derbyshire having sold his farm will
move to Seaforth in a- few weeks. Mr.
Hatt intends building this fall on his lot
on Goderich street,- near the A ricultu-
ral Grounds. Mr.. Elliott Grip has
purchased from Mr. 0. C. Wilson) a lot
on F. Sparling's survey, for $19Q, on
which he is building a comfortable dwell-
ing. Mr. R. Grimoldby has Bold one of
his lots on the same survey, to Mr. Cor-
nelius Freal for $190, on which Mt. Freal
purposes building neict spring.
„
FRIGHTENED.—Ori Sunday evening
latitabout dark as a couple of young
Mies' were coming along the Grand
Trunk Railway track about half a mile
east of Seaforth station, they were very
much frightened by some large ,white ob-
ject which they no doubt thought was a
ghost, but on draWing near to it,- they
found it to be a large white cow, which
was lying in a ditch at the side of the
track. The cow had evidently had an
overfeed of some kind of grain, as she
was bloated up to an enorthous size, ancl
while walking 'along the bank of the
road which is pretty high at that place,
had accidentally fallen off the bank into
the ditch, and was unable to extricate
'herself, and consequently came to her
death,
iFIVE YEARS IN THE CENTRAL. —Jas.
Montgomery, the man charged with pois-
oning the cattle "belonging to Mr. James
'Horgan, of McKillop, with Paris green,
was last .week found guilty, and sen-
tenced by Judge Toms to five 'years in
the. Central prison, Toronto. It was
shewn by, the evidencerfdi. the erown.that
Montgomery was ejected from a Camida
Company lot in McKillop, through the
assistance of Hugon, and the former has
ever since held a grudge against the lat-
ter, even_ threatening to take Harga.n's
life. His revengefill spirit then tempted
him to do the terrible deed for which he
has just -received his reward. Three of
the animals which were poisoned are vet
alive, halving been under the treatment
of Mr. Elder, V. S., of Seaforth.
COMPLIMENTARY. —We take the follow-
ing extract, concerning a gentleman who
has lately come to reside in Seaforth,
from the Parisi Transcript of last week :
"One of the most pleasant social gather-
ings that it hp been our privilege for
some time to attend, was held in the -
Gore Hotel,;on,' Monday evening last.
The occasion of, this' gathering was to do
honor to Mr. James More, who for near-
ly four years has been hook -keeper in
the foundry and agricultural works of
Mr. Maxwell, and who this week takes
his departure from _Paris for the Town of
Seaforth. where he enters into partner-
ship with Mr. Whitelaw. The friends of
Mr. More felt that they could not per
mit his departure from among them,
withont in some tangible manner testi-
fying to the general esteem in which he
is held by all.Tbe assemblage on Mon-
day evening einbrace,d many of our most
promin• tint men, and also quilt a niunber
THE HIMOINI EXPOSITOR.
%4f
of the employ41- tlie aris Fotindry.
Thethair was occupied- by Mr. David
Brown, and the vee Oak wap filled by
Mr. George Angds.' iAluindme sPiOad
was provided bSrltir.• Weaier; and tb-
which ample justice was done. After
the usual loyal and patriotic toasts bad"
been duly honored, the chairman. in fit-,
,ting and appropriete terms-propoifed the
toast of the evening, "Our guest Mr.
More." in the course of his remarks
the chairman said that he only expressed
the mind of every person- present, when
he stated that they parted from their
friend Mr. More with deep regret. Dur-
ing the time that he has been in Parke
he has Wien the good opinion of the en-
tire community, and the more intimate
the knowledge any one has of Mr. More,
the more will their esteem and attach-
ment be drawn towards 'him. In his
new field of labor they all wished him
abundant success, and had no doubt but
that he would achieve the same. In
'losing him Peri; losea one of her best
citizens, and Seaforth makes a cor-
responding gain. After further remarks of
a somewhat similar nature, the chairman
read an address, which embodied the un-
animous feelintof those assembled to do
honor to Mr. More. The workmen of
the Paris Foundry ab3o availed them-
selves of the 'opportunity to present Mr.
More with an' address, expressing the
esteem and respect with which he was
regarded by every man in tho establish-
nient, also their regret at his departure.
To these addresses Mr. More made a
mold feeling and appropriate reply.
Shortly after 11 o'clock, "Auld Lang,
Syne" was sung by the company, and -
this pleasing social gathering came to a
clooe. Seaforth in securing Mr. James
More, obtains a good citizen and an up-
right man. We bespeak for him a hearty
reception, and feel sure from what we
know of the people of Seaforth, that he
will receive the same." It is with much
pleasure we welcome to our town, two
such worthy and eminent citizens as Mr.
A. Whitelaw and Mr. James More, and
we have no hesitation in saying, that
under their able management the Huron
Foundry will not fail to meet with
eminent success.

Drysciales.

• to Mr. John Bres-
on for the sum of $1,500.
IMPROVEMENT. --The French Presby-
terian Church has been much improved
by the last coat of paint, and the build-
ing now presents a nice comfortable
appearance.
CAME ASHORE.—During the heavy
gale of list -Week, a large quantity of pne
lumber was drifted ashore; the quantity
is estimated to be not less than 100,000
feet. The lumber is of superior quality,
and bears the initials D. S. The particu-
lars of the wreck have not yet been •ascer-
tained. Several reports are afloat as to
- three different vessels having been lost in
the same gale. From the appearance of
.broken pieces that have come ashore, the
wreck must have been a propeller or
steam barge, as the beach is literally
covered with beautiful painted boards or
pieces of boards. Cabin doors and win-
dows have also been found, and a great
many other articles such as bark,potatoes,
dried apples, cranberries, carpeting,
chairs, &c.
•
Lumley..
THAT IMPOSTOR AGAIN.—During last
week the farmers in the vicinity of Lum-
ly were entertaining in magnificent style
a gentleman calling himself Mr. Lumley,
who corresponds in appearance to the de-
scription given of the McKillop impos-
tor in your last issue. His proceedings
seem also to identify him. It would
appear that after his exodus from Mc-
Killop, he made a sudden descent on this
neighborhood. Benefitting by his pre-
vious successful career'he succeeded in
captivating more fry, bargaining
for the property owned by Messrs.
Strang, Dinnin Greenwood, Pollard and
McFarlane. His pretended object being
to secure a large area of land suitable for
pasturage—stock raising being the height
of his ambition. By this plausible story,
and the liberal sums offered, he easily
succeeded in accomplishing his design as
far as a verbal agreement was concerned.
The day for -drawing up the agreements
came, when he with one of the farmers,
!started for the appointed place. The
'farmer, in order to shorten the journey,
wen across the fields, while Mr. Lumley
re erred the road. The former having
arrived at the place agreed upon, waited
anxiously for the latter, who, probably
thinking matters had gone sufficiently
far, failed to put in an- appearance. On
hearing he had thus decamped, -the feel-
ing towards him suddenly rayersecl it-
self, and should be ever have the audacity
to visit this neighborhood again, he will
meet with another sort of reception. from
what he got this time.—Coar.
