BUILDING OPERATIONS. -Building op- erations promise to be brielt in Seaforth during the coming season. Mrs. Whit- ney has already det the contract for the erection of three brick Stores on her property on Main street. The contract has been awarded to Mr. ullen. Mr. Alexander Ault and Mr. urphy each intend erecting a store o the sites of their old stands destroyed by fire. We also learn that Mr. Carmic ael has had the plans prepared for a n ve hotel and two stores to be erected on the old site. Mr. S. Dickson has let the Contract for a large addition to the Post Office build- ing, which, when completed, will render our post office even more commodious and attractive than it at present is. In addition to these and several private res- idences which are spoken of, will be the new Methodist church. Upon the whole our citizens may fairly look for- ward to taprosperous and profitable sea- son during the coming summer. MANITOBA. GRAIN. - We have been sliown by' Mr. W. S. Robertson, of this town, satisples of wheat and oats grown lart season. in Manitoba. Both grains are of excellent quality, and prove the soil of that country to be eminently adapted to producing grain. The wheat is aaid to have averaged from 66 to 68 pounds to the bushel, and to have pro- duced 46 pounds of flour per busheleParties wishing to see samples of this grain oan do so by applying to Mr. Robertson. Parties wishing to purchase land in Manitoba would also do well to consult with Mr. Robertson, as he has any amount of half-breed scrip to dispose of. He has already sold a good deal, and the land is now being located for those who have purchased it. The half breed lands are said to be among the best in the Province, and parties wishing to se- cure _,geod locations in Manitoba can easily do so by purchasing this acrip, which is being sold at very reasonable figures. COMPLIMENTARY SuPeEnser-On Wed- nesday evening last a few friends assem- bled at Foster's Hotel, for the purpose of giving an oyster supper to pr. Burgess who has been a resident of this town for the past twO years'and who contem- • plates removing to Gorrie te follow his profession. The spread .reftected the • greatest credit upon the genial host, Mr. Thomas Foster, not only for the quantity and quality, but also for the kind and prompt attention 'which the guests re- ceived. The chair was occupied by Mr. Foster, and the vice -chair by Mr. J. S. Roberts. After the bivalves had been dispensed with and the tables cleared, the evening was very pleasantly spent, toast, sone and sentiment being the order. Each speaker added his testimony to the many good qualities of head and heart possessed by the guest, and all joined in regretting his departure from Seaforth, and in wishing him the greatest possible measure of prosperity in. his new home. During the evening excellent songs were. sung by Messrs. Holland,'• Roberts, Jamieson, Brown and Hays. ' CONCERT FOR THE POOR. -j Mr. Geo. W. Cline, assisted by the principal vocal amateurs of the town, and the Seaforth quartette club 'together with Holland's brass and string bands, intends giving a grand concert in tlie town hall, on the evening Friday next, the 16th inst., the proceeds of the concert to be devoted to the benefit of the poor of the town. The following ladies have beeri melected as a committee to properly distribute the funds which may be raised, viz.: Mrs. D. D. Wilson Mrs. Win. Hill, Mrs. Dr. Vercoe, and M. P. Hayes. We are sure we need not say one word in com- mendation of this entertainment to in- duce our citizens to patronize itliberally. Aside from the merits of the entertain- ment, which is sure to be of the highest order, the landable object will we are sure draw the largest audience which bas ever congregated in Seaforth. ,Although our town is equally prosperous with most Canadian town's, perhaps more prosperous than many of them, the "hard times" and striogency in trade are being felt most keenly by many in our midst whose families are depend- ent • tipon their daily earnings for their maintenance, and who, owing to the stringent times, have during this winter been wholly or partially unemployed. Programmes giving full particulars will be distributed in a few days. PERSON.A.L.- Mr. Robert Jamieson, of the firm of Logan & Jamieson, returned home on Friday last after an absence of five weeks. Mr. Jamieson had been on a Visit to the European markets purchas- ing goods for his firm. He looks well after his trip, and had a pleasant -voyage Across the Atlantic both ways. -• -We learn that it is the intention of Dr. Burgess, who has been practicing medicine in this town for some time, to move to the village of Gorrie.

They are selling at from 10 to 15 cents per dozen. STA.NLEY AHKAD.--Mr. Crowder, of the twelfth concession of Stanley, has, it is rumored, sown six acres of wheat the other day. Early sowing is generally considered a good thing, but we think there %yin be little reaping from this sow - in . ADAME WILSON. -This honorable (?) lady paid" us a visit last week. Of course, all those who patronized her know their future prospects, and will conduct themselves accordingly. The simpletons of the place had the pleasure of giving her 26 cents, getting nothing but nonsense in return. She left very apirity, taking with her about $50. MONEY FOR THE HARBOR. -A deputa- tion from the Bayfield Council has been sent to Ottawa, to induce the Govern- ment to spend more money upon the harbor. It is said $60,000 will have to be spent in order that the work already done may be of use. The deputation consisted of Messrs. Essen, Keys and AL C. Cameron. The deputation re- turned on Friday last. They express themselves highly pleased with the courteous treatment they received from Mr. Mackenzie, Although- he did not. make thein any definite promise, he led them to understand that the works on the harbor would be continued. • Usborne.

The concert, however; was excellent, and we consider that those • who failed to attend missed a rare treat. The band se ms to have attained a degree of proficie cy, which is simply wonderful, for the s ort time they have been organized, and their playing would do credit to a much older organization. The string band alBo gave good music and was well appreciated. The singing was simply excellent, and the frequent encores showed hoW well it was ap- preciated by the audience. The encores were all cheerfully arid readily respond- ed to. The readings and recitations were also well given. The readings of Dr. Gracey were Particularly life -like and. captivating, andl we think that the doctor almost surpsissed even his own brilliant style. The different characters in tbe dialogues were particularly well personated, which gave them a very real and life -like appearance. One very pleas- ing feature of the concert was that the letter rendering apol gies unnecessary. --- whole programme Is carried out to the Com. • Wro eter. MONILY.----C.

LECTURE ON TEMPERANCE AND THE DUNKLN ACT. -Mr. Boosey lectured in the Pree4terian Church, in this yillage, on Thursday, March 1st, on Temperance and the Dunkin Act. He first began by showing that alcoholic liquors) according to what the medical men say, acts on the human system as a narcotic poison,1 and portrayed in the most eloquent language the many evils which result from its ex- cessive use. Every one acknowledges that intemperance is an evil. Our pro- hibitory laws have decreased the sale of liquors, and decreased criminals and paup- erism. A prohibitory law gave Canada the cherished hope that beneath no Union Jack can .a slave be. He then showed what would be the effect of whiskey in Ireland where there is scarcely any grain. He says'read the chief sections of the Dunkin Act and see how admirably these laws would benefit us all. It is the best statute of the present day for the prohi- bition of intoxicating drinks, and it is also the most arbitrary law we have to- day. Rev. James Pritchard, at the close of the lecture, gm e a few preliminary remarks on the lecture, and said it was high time for Christians to heeip and do- ing. • PUBLIC SeHoore-eScnior Department, -Average attendance for the month of February, 61.

EDITOR -Sir: Having observed an article in the columns of your paper relating to No. 2'Thekersmith, and coming from the Alexander of slang phrases, who we are sorry to say is sadly itt "dirt and darkness about his school affairs," we propose to Ove, him a few hints which we hope he may; profit from. We, therefore, would advise him to get his intellect clear of the "dirt and darkness' which surrounds it as soon as convenient and the -bet way he can. We -certainly are surprised to think that a man," an undoubted enemy of •thee school board system, living in this en- lightened age and land where the educa- tional and school board systems are working so admirably well, has such an enormous amount of ignOrance and want of judgment, as to attack the condition of the school windows and inside of the building, without a cause --in such a mean spirit as to try to cast a slur on all connected with the school,- and all simply to give vent to his unprofitable grurnbling. We think, also,i that there is some danger of his being a little too apprehensive about lives being lost in dust; in fact, so much so, that he may need to spend a few months in some asylum. And, as regards the school house being like a pig -pen, we are as- tonished to think that this same party has such a monstrous litek of observa- tion as not to know that it is an im- ssibffity to keep any Country school as clean as a parlor during the time of the muddy roads of February. And, for his benefit, we will state, also, that one party has made it a part of his duty to have the school room swept pia every day, which has been attendelftitrictly. Perhaps the fault finder would olike tb have the job of cleaning the building and keeping it so, if such be the vase, be very likely could gat it by sititplimaking a personal application. Batvwit are at a very great loss to.know wind thisman's object has been in writing this article to ask an editor "whether it is right to keep him in dirt as well as in darkness about his school affairs." - ITT he meant to attack the school boarAsy tem,he simply reminds us of the boy rye. shot at the moon and missed it, because he was too far away from the object; if, on the other hand, he meant to atilt& the teacher or any 'particular member of the board, his manner of doing so -has been extremely indecent, and very much like the lion's whelp that took to kicking in- stead of biting. We have several other things we would like to say, but we will reserve them for future use, as time and apace forbid their being touched upon here. We will, therefore, conclude by advising him to "hold the noiseless tenor of his way along, the cool seques- tered vale of life," without putting hist nose into other ..people's business.-: FRIENDS OF THE Bellow. BOARD SYffi ' 1 TEM. • Tea Peddlers. To the Editor of the Iluron Expositor Sir, -My object in addressing yon-Aiit this me is to give the public a warning note through your paper to be on their guard Ntgainst tea peddlers, -several of whom are now travelling through the country, and selling tea from samples. A. neighbor of mine was induced to pur- chase a box of tea from one of these par. - ties. The sample shown him was - of really fine quality, and the price was low, but when the box was opened, after having been delivered and paid for, it W58 found to be a very inferior articht I consider it my duty to send you these few lines, so that others who may be called on will be on their guard. • - • A LOTZR OT GOOD Ti.. • Huron Notes.
