This being his first appearance Seaforth, and his reputation as a mu- ician having long preceded him, he will, o doubt, have a good audience. 1, 11 if they would only give their risks to local agents, on whose integrity they can rely, and. who instead of trying to lead people into trouble will do what they can to keep them right with the companies. There are several respons- ible local insurance agents in this town, so that there is no excuse for people giv- ing their risks to strangers of whom they know nothing. • A.

CENTENNIAL MEDALS. -Messrs. Gray, Young & Sperling 4a\ye received ' the medals and diplomas awarded to ihem for their display of coarSe and fine ealt, a.ncl salt brine at the Centennial 'exhibi- tion. Both diplomas and medals! are beautiful works of art, and will, no doubt, be long cherished by the enter- prisiug firm which secured them. The excellent display made at the Centennial by Messrs. Gray, Young & Sperling has been effective in attracting the atteritiou of foreign dealers to the superiorities of the salt manufactured in Huron, and al- ready the firm have received Many in- quiries from abroad regarding it. Their enterprise, therefore, will, no doubt, be ultimately fully rewarded by the opening up to them and others of important and profitable markets, e • THE SEAFORTII BAND.- Mr. Editor - Sir :. Allow me to call attention to the feet that our town band does not receive that encouragement and support from the citizens to which they are entitled1 and which the people of other towns bestow on their bands. The firemen, I meder- stand, undertook to pay one-half of the bandmaster's salary,but have found it too burdensome, and desire to be relieved of their aereement The• season is now at hand when the band will be expected to play out frequently for the gratification of the citizens, and. these young men, who compose the band ought net to be ex- ,peeted to devote not only their time and talents, but their money also, to _ the amusement of others, without some re- turn. aWhy should not some one initiate a subscription on their behalf or Circulate a petition to the Council for a grant t- enets. 1 . 1 AN INSURANCE CASE. -- The cape of Stephens vs. the .0 ttal.va Insurance om- pany, which was p for hearing- , the T Huron Assizes las week, came oa for trial at the Perth Assizes at Stratford on j Wednesday lat. The particulars the case are that . some time in 1876, Mr. , Thomas Stephens insured two buildings with the agent of the Company on the mutual system, giving the ageet a premium note for an insurance covering $1,100. The application was forwarded to headquarters, and the policy was in clue time eeturned to Mr. Stephens. The agent, however, neglected to for- ward the premium note to the head of- iice. Mr. Stephens hearing of this' cor- responded with the company offering -payment of any assessments that might have been made,' but before a final ar- rangement was come to with the com- pany the property was destroyed by fire, and the conipany refused to pay the in- suratee on the ground that they! had never received the premium. note. The judge reserved his decision until he eould consult his brother judges on some legal point. People are frequently not nearly careful enough in looking after their in- surance. They are too apt to leave too much with the agent, and to nett "but little attention to the many conditions under which their properties are insured, and insurance companies generally, with but a few honorable exceptions, are al- ways too ready to take advantage of any little technicality to save themeelves from paying losses no matter how equit- able the claims may be. It would cer- tainly add much to the safety of ineurers OUT OF THE DEPTHS. -This is the title of a little volume written by Mr. W. T. Cox, well known to many of our readers as a former and. talented. editor of the G-oderich Signal. It is a personal - narrative of the author's fall under the power of strong drink, and his complete reformation. It is cleverly written, in- tensely interesting, and might be profit- ably read by- all. This is the second edition, the first having sold so readily that it became exhausted. It is illus- trated and contains an excellent por- trait of the author when in his 26th year. mile from Walton. he DUSTY STREETS. - Mr. Editor -Sir: As the summer weather has evidently set in, and the dust on our streets is be- ginning to fly around to the great annity- ance of the public whose business neces- sitates their passing along the streets during the day. Our merchants, too, complain loudly of the damage being done their goods, which are exposed for sale at the door, by the accumulation of dust. Surely our town fathers must be aware of this glaring evil, and yet up to the present no provision has been made for having our streets properly watered. 1Now, Mr. Editor, as you have always taken a deep interest in the prosperity of our lively little town and everything pertaining thereto I trust you will lose no time in having our Council stirred up a little on this important question, and lotus at least have the pleasure of breathing a mouthful of pure air when walking our streets, instead of inhaling volumes of dust, as we have been doing thiring the last two weeks. -A VV ORK- INGAIA.N. merits.- Mr. Davis is e ef the princi- pal battle buyers in this section, and his honesty in. effecting sales with .farmers and others is so proverbial that it re- . quires no comment. • Bruoefleld.

Baird, Jr., will discuss "Pen- manship," and the Secretary "Grammar in junior , classes." • An interesting meeting and a large attendance are ex- pected. Walton. WARNrNG. -Last Sunday night, as a band of those wanton boys, who are al- lowed to perambulate on the Sabbath day at will, were wending their way home- ward, they made an attack on a respect- able man's dwelling, n t more than half a good Man of the house and. his fare y having retired to rest, were suddenl a akened about 11 o'clock by a show r o stones upon the house. - This is ot the first time that this little fortres has been invaded by those malicious boys in a similar menner. Now, if they do not immedi- ately draw those evil -doings to a termin- ation means will be ta en to secure their punishment, as the la di ects. Parents shouldtake a warnine fr Ha this before it is too late, and teacl t ir children to remember the Sabbat d y and keep it holy, and not to allow thee to spend it in immorality and pro ani y. .THE BUTTER -SEASON.-Mr. S. Trott, Seaforth, is on hand with his noted but- ter tubs. The popularity of these tubs among dairymen and butter dealers may be imagined from. the fact that last sea- son he manufactured and. sold over five thousand, and -this year he has material prepared for twice that number. He has also made several improvements in them, among which is the -nailing on of the hoops, thus rendering them more substantial and durable. He will also have each tub branded so that an inferior article cannot be given to the public as being of his manufacture. The tubs are all.made of the best white ash timber, of which bekeeps a large stock on hand. It is gratifying that Mr. Trott has thus far been able to produce an article which has met with such general favor, and there is no doubt that the excellent rep- utation his wares have secured will pro- duce him a large trade this season. Mr. Trott's manufactory has become an im- portant interest in our town, and we wish him increased prosperity, and a rapidly extending trade. Stanley. VOCAL Mueto.-For the last three months the musically inclined of the sec- ond and third concessions of Stanley, have been cultivating their musical talent under the leadership of Mr. McQueen, who gratuitously rendered his services for the instruction of sacred music, a very pleasant and profitable time was spent, and as the nights are getting short and the busy season of the year already begun, it was thought •best to give the class up. At the close a very handsome present was presented to Mr. McQueen, accompanied by an address, in apprecia- tion of his services. Mr. McQueen, in reply to the address, thanked them very kindly, and sang that appropriate song, "Happy we've been a' the gither." Sev- eral other songs were sung by other gen- tlemen present, and the proceedings were brought to a close by singing "God Save the Queen."

It was purchased for that society by Prof. Wilson of Toronto, from Mr. Archibald Dewar, Inspector of Public Schools for North Huron, and his father. It had been in the family as a valued heirtloom since abbut the fourteenth century, hav- ing been given to a Dewar by the monks ;of St. Filians for distinguished bravery on the field of battle. It was greatly !prized by the family, and was brought from Scotland to this country hy Mr. Dewar, senr. It is constructed of silver, weighs about two pounds, and is a beaatiful piece of workmanship. It was said to contain1 some of the bones of a noted monk, whibh gave it the charm of rendering the beerer invincible in battle. This legend was ustained in the ancient days by the rattling sound occasioned by shaking the 1 crozier, and when the Antiquarian Sothety became possessed of it they bad it dissected, when another crozier of copper, of nearly as beautiful construction as the silver one, was found. inside. The pripe paid for it was $700, the Messrs. Dewar giving $200 of the am- ount as a contribution to the Society. Turnberry Spring- Show.

Mr. Peter Giant, of Clinton, inventor of Grant's excelsior hay fork, has just showed us Ins patent deed from the United States for his invention, and dated April 3, 1877. , We may eay that the ferk has been patented inCanada for six yea s, during whieh time it has stood the t st well, taking six first Provincial a.war s besides county and other prizes wherever exhibited. We congratulate Mr. Grant on his triumph at the Centepnial exhibi- tion in Philadelphia -be having taken the highest honors in his class of exhibit against 37 competitors. The fork tv-as very highly recommended by the Centen- nial Judges' Conamission as an efficient labor saver. The simple advantages claimed are simplicity of constructioa, strength and durability, and is especially adapted for use in either long or short substances. The fork consists of a central tubular tine containing the plunger, and two lateral tines, which are secured on the barrel and can be taken off in one minute when a very light fork is required for long substance. Taken together it forms the most complete hay fork now before the public, as evinced by the very flattering notices which the inventor has received from the 'Centennial as well as the Canadian Board of Commissioners. We understand Mr. Grant has given a contract to the Goderich Manufacturing Company for the manufacture of a large number of his forks to supply the many agents at work in various parts of the Province, while personally he goes to the neighboringRepublic to place before them the benefit of his useful invention for which he holds letters patent from Wash- ington.
