STAR B SE BAIL CLUB. —A meeting

'and A. Ca (IField dafgtains ; David
, Anderson, John Scott and J. Bolland,
Field Com ittee. Dr. Coleman and M.
P. Hayes were appointed patrons. The
price of membership tickets was fixed at
one dollar. As the club contains as good
players as of yore, and being in posses-
sion of th championship cup of the five
counties, t ey will, no doubt, have a good
record thi season. None but bona fide
members f the club will be allowed to
practice o'r the grounds. A meeting -of the
officers wi1 be held on Friday evening,
April 27ti, for the purpose of arranging
matters f r the season, when it is to be
hoped ther will take the joining of the
Amateur .Association into consideration.
SOMETIIIING NEw. — Last Saturday
Messrs. Hoffman Bros., of this town,
opened their exhibition Of millinery and
fancy dry.goods for the spring and sum-
mer seasons by a grand illumination in
the evening. The place inside was bril-
liantly lighted up by innumerable lamps
placed in the best possible - position, to
throw light on the brilliant scene. While
outside, i front of the'Shop, were sever-
al Chines lanterns, waving ingthe breeze
and thro ing their fitful colored lights on
the beaut fully decorated windows, filled
with all s its of pretty and useful things.
Goods of arious kinds were displayed on
the count rs and centre table, all show-
ing that iscretion and god taste had
'been exe cised in making the selection.
It was t e millinery department, how-
ever, whi h proved the greatest attrac-
tion and xcited the admiration of all be-
holder* he ladies especially. It cer-
tainly see ed a "bower of beauty" orna-
mented ith several tastefully arranged
hanging l4askets of flowers, displaying all
the color of the rainbow, also trailing
and creep ng vines. The -display upon
the Whol was most attractive and cred-
itable. r
RESIGNED HIS SEAT.—At the Council
eeting on Monday evening last, Mr.
ndrew Malcolm resigned his position as
( ouncillor for the North Ward. The
layer issued his warrant for another
election. The nomination was held in
r. Watson's office yesterday, and Mr.
J ames Beattie was elected. by acclamation.
1 e are glad that Mr. Beattie has been
• gain elected to the Council, and in elect-
• g him by acclamation the electors of
t e North Ward have acted wisely.

THE FIRE BRIGADE.—Members of the
Seaforth Fire Brigade are now canvassing
t `e town for honorary members. As the
1 rigade have taken upon themselves '
t e responsibility of supparting the band
d naost of the members being young
en,it has been found to be a very heavy
t k to them. On this account we think
i. the duty of the bnsiness then and large
roperty holders of the town to show
ore liberality towards the firemen than
1 as been done in the past, by becoming
onarary members at the small sum of
ne dollar.
I
THE, EGG BUSINESS OF SEA2ORT11.—In !
g rder to give our pead.ers some idea of the
xtent of the business done in this town
e give the following figures in respect to
ne single branch, which speak for them- '
elves. Daring the year 1876, Mr. D. D.
Vilson paid out for eggs the sum -of $70,-
1a
, 00,—of which sum $8,000 was paid out
f r small lots delivered at his store by
rmers in baskets. The expense of col-.
1o,..-.-or
these eggs amounted to $20,000.
"he importance of this branch of com-
erce to the farming -community and to
he town may be estimated from the above,
,Igures.

, BIG, BIGGER. —Having noticed in last
week's issue of your paper at item in the
"big egg" line I would sky that the
"boss egg" is in this tow4 as we have
in our poSsession, an egg that measures
81 inches the one way by 7 inches the
a

cially quite a success. •
DECIDED. —The case, Brent vs. the cor-
poratiOn of Brussels, tried at . the assizes
in Goderich on -Tuesday last, a verdict
was giien in fever of defendants.

gressing rapidly this season. William
McKelvey, -of Ethe1, has purchased a
mill site • from atriei La4nont, of this
village, and is commencing to put up a
shingle mill. He intends t here if run-
ning in OM months., Neil McLaughlin,
mercha,nt,, has purchased a lpt from the
same party and is erecting large store.
A good chance is also offer4d for, a har-
ness shopand wagon shop, which would
do well in this place.

JAMESTOWN.- HENNERY. --Jim Mills, the
genial landlord of the hotel at James-
town, is going to try if there can be any
money m de,by keeping bens on a large
scale. He has got over 250 hens. We
hope the nterprise may prove successful

done in frmer years. Those engaged
at it say that the sap runs well.
FIRST 4T IT. —Mr. John Re Miller, of
Morris, cilmmenced to cultivite the soil
on TueScl y of last week. Thisiethe first
plowing
e have heard of in the neighbor-
hood this spring. Plowing cannot be done
to any advantage until a good shower of
ram comes down. Although the weather
is fine an pleasant, there is every appear
ance that spring work will be consider-
• ably behijid. Vennor is at a discount
now.
- EARLY CHICKENS. —A ben belonging
to Alex. 11islop, of Turnberry, hatched
out.a bro d of chickens in the latter end
of February. If there is any virtue in
the inaxith that "The early bird catches
the worm these chickens will have the
opportunity of receiving the full benefit
,of it. M. Hislop had chickees in the
beginning of February the past two years.
He also had new-born ambs demanding
his attentlion in Febrile y this year.
NAVIGATION IS OPEN.—The I -6e being
clear on the Maitland, the Messrs. Leech,
of Bluevale, have several gangsof men
employed on the banks of the stream in
the vicinity of Jamestown, rolling saw-
logs into he 'river, for conveyance to the
mill at th t village. The Messrs. Leech
purchase the logs from the farmers who
draw then to the river edge in the win-
ter, after which they are floated down in
the sprin . They do quite a business in
this way every year.
Dow le E CURRENT:—Mr. McKelvey,
of the fir t concession of Grey, had the
naisfortu e on Sunday evening, 8th inst.,
to lose a out 150 saw logs. During the
winter h laid about $700 worth of saw
logs on the bank of the river and in it, a
short distance above Young's bridge. It
was at firet his intention to send them to
Bluevale, but he afterwards changed his
plan, and built a boom across the river
to prevent the logs from being swept
away. On the night aforesaid the boom
broke, causing the logs to be taken with
the current. He will have a great, deal
of trouble before he can get them again.
BUILDING Oeeuealoss.-e-Building op -

tion of a once popular song—"I'm lonely

A Loo. AROUND. —A Careful observer
will notice a great improvement in the
farms in this neighborhood during the
past few years. The land is greatly im-
proved, better buildings are being erect-
ed, ancl things in general present a pro-
gressive appearance. Among the many
buildingi which have been built since
; last yea r we might mention the large and
' handsome stone dwelling -house of Mr.
Geo. Moffat, of Morris; the neat frame
• dwelling -houses of Mr. Wm. Bryan, of
'Howick, and Mr. Robt. McDonald, of
Grey e ale() that mammoth barn ereeted
last sum - er on the farm of Mr. James
-Blair, of-Howlek. The latter is by all
odds the neatest and best finished build-
ingof its kind for severalmiles around,
and is a redit to the industry of the
proprietor. The coming season is going
to be very -brisk in the building way.

on the 13th inst., before Justices, of the
Peace Robt. Brown and Hugh! Love,
some seven persons appeared to answer
the charge. The evidence proved. that,
although some twenty or thirty parties
were present at the time the disgusting
scenes were enacted, John Wood, Joshua
Reesor and Adam Zeller were the princi-
pals in the affair, and they were conse-
quently committed. to stand their trial on
a charge of "indecently1 assaulting
Louisa Smith by exposing her naked-
ness in the public street, and having
carnal intercourse \with her in presence
of a crowd of people." The prisoners
feel their disgrace keenly, and attribute
their conduct to the fact of their being
under the influence of liquor. Zeller
was admitted to bail in the sum of $1,-
000. One of the prisoners is a married
man. —Signal.

BUSINESS CHANGE.—Mr.John Holland,
wholas been engaged as butcher here has
sold. out to Mr. Rogers, of this place. The

under the management of Mr. Rogers.
IMPROVEMENTS. — Our village is pro-
gressing more rapidly this seas,on thaw at
any other period of its history. Buildings
are springing up in every direction, and
judging from the material which is being
laid down, the most of them are going to
be of a very substantial nature.
SusPENDraD.-e-Owing to the serious de-
pression of trade, Mr. Allan has been
compelled to suspend- opeeations in his
furtuture factory. Mr. -Allan who is uni-
versally respected in this neighborhood
has the sympathy of the whole commun-
ity in his embarrassments. It is to be
hoped his creditors will take a lenient
view of his case and allow him to resume
business, as the stoppage of the factory
is a great loss to the business of the vil-
lage. ,
