A dense smoke was noticed to suddenly arise in th vicinity of VanEginond's carding mill. l'he alarm of fire was at once given, and in a few minutes the firemen were off a full speed to the scene of the supposed iire with the engine. It was generally supposed that the carding mill building had caught fire. On reaching the place, however, the firemen and citizens who had hurried thither to render a helping .2iand to quell the flames, were very ekgreea.bly disappointed. It seems that Messrs_ VanEgmond were boiling a pot full of ter with which to tar the roof of the mill, and that in the pot had by some means caught fire, causing the dense smoke Which occasioned the alarm. So soon as the .tar in the. pot burned out the smoke and flames subsided, and all went back to their various oecu.pations. The firemen are entitled. to the greatest praise for the prompt manner in which 1e 1 11 BASE BALL.—A ranged to be pia Dominion Day, Stars, of Seaforth, of Wroxeter.

Love, wife of Mr. James Love, llth con- cession of McKillop,, is the fortunate pos- sessor of a young eon, which at birth weighed twenty-two, and a half pounds. This mammoth youngster was born on the -15th inst. Mrs.1Love may nell ask can any other lady in the county show such a " bouncing baby ?" Brucefleld. THE NEW MANSE.—The contract for the erection of a new brick manse for Rev. Mr. Thompson, at Brucefield, was awarded on the llth inst. The atone and brick work was awarded to . Mr. Wm. Copp for $539, and the carpenter work, &c., to a gentleman in Clinton, for $975. The congregation furnish the brick, stone and. sand, which will cost about $170, thus making the entire cost of the building $1,675. - Walton BIG WORK. —Messrs. - Murdoch and .Duncan McKenzie, with Jas. Campbell, Robt. Ferguson, George Morrison and Hugh McMillan, did a big day's wbrk logging last week, which is well worth recording, on the, farm of. Mx. J. McCal- lum, lot 11, concession 14, McKillop. They started at 9.A. M., and logged up 111: acres, J. Campbell's team alone doing the drawing, and with five teams cleared up eight acres in the course of the day. How is that for high? GREAT SELL.—Some Of those livery in- dividuaLs, to wit, liquor detectives, got sold in a pretty bad way last week. It appears they had an impression that one Thos Burns, concession 14, McKillop, was running a still, for the production of what is popularly called 1` Paddy's Eye. water." Accordingly they paid him a visit, and after searching all around, were not rewarded for their pains, as no worm turned up. Burns being a pretty smart fellow got out his horse, and rode in the direction of a swamp at a great pace, leading the detectives to suppose that something was " up there." They posted off after him, and, after leading them a long distance, ho stopped. at a neighbor's to borrow a road scraper; when they came to the conclusion they were sold. Tuckersmith, HORSES SOLD. —Mr. David Campbell, of concession 2, Tuckersneith, sold a fine team of horses for the sum of $280. They .were purchased for Mr. Whitehead. for use on the Pacific Rap.lway works in Manitoba. Zurich. FLAX. r. Alderson had several fields of flax, on the Sauble Line ! that averaged 3 feet in length on the 15th inst. Who can beat that? TUE Mir. Fenwick is erecting a grist mill in Exeter, to bel oonipleted by the 1st of October. His saw mill here turned out 800,000 feet of lumber since April Oth, and did not work very steady at t at. About threeidays more will finish t e yard, after which he in-, tends giving up that branch of his bus- iness and turning his attention wholly to flouring and custom work. ' THE FIRE ENGINE.—It is time the committee hat has the fire engine in charge shou d wake up, as the engine is not in prop r working order, and a fire may occur at any time. The engine should be taken out for practice at least ; once a week We understand the com- mittee find great difficulty in collecting the money, n'hich should haee been paid ' before this, 0. defray expense in connec- tion with th engine. A Geol.) S 1LE. —Mr. Folland, the pro- prietor of th lands adjoining the ylllage, had an auction sale of village lots on Saturday 1- t.

The crep is an extra heavy one, and for rapid giowth and early maturity cannot eas-ily b4 beaten. The peas are of some new vari ty, and prom- ise to become profittible a d popular.

A DULL DAY. -9n Tuesday last our town was quite deserted on account of people of all shades of politics having gone to hear Sir John and party at the great Conservative pic-nic at Gorrie on that day. • . SuNnev Selloon Pre-Nies.—The Can-- ada Methodist Sunday School held their annual pic-nic on Wednesday last, in Armstrong's grove,. The day was all that could be wish d. for, and thepic-nic was well attended, ,and passed off very satisfactory to all. I —Knox Church ,Presbyterian Sunday Sch ool pic-nic takes, place to -day (Friday) in Stewart's grove, and St, John's Church, of Brussels, is proposed for Thursday ndxt, at Walton, in Union with the Sun- day School of that place. PIXIE PROTECTION. —At the regular - 1 meeting of Council on Monday last, a resolution was passed to submit a by-law . at once to the rate -payers to raise by way of loan the sum of $25,000, to provide proper fire protection for the village and to grant aid to manufactories.- The by- law is to be voted upon about the end of July. As to fire protection, some rate- payers favor a steamer at an outlay of $5,500, others the "Holly," or *better known as the Waterous system of water- works, at a cost of about $9,000. In the first case the ihole of the eget, every dollar, Will be aken out of the place, but in the secorid about one-third. of the whole cost will be spent in the village in the construction of the work, ctrhich we think is quite an argument in favor of the water -works. tanley. To the Editor o the _Huron E9Jositor : SIR ":—As we were driving along the Sauble Line, the other day, We took a few note, whielh may not be uninterest- ing. Before ,leitving the village of Bay- field we went Iown to see thC harbor, which has 1atelr been taken off the con- tractor's hands It looks well, and its neat yet solid appearance will lie a stand- ing advertisement of the mechanical in- genuity of Mr. McEwen. As we hameback we did not fail to see Dr. StanbUry's new bouse now in course of erection. This will be quite an ornament to the village. The first on the Lake line was a field of fall wheat belonging to Mr. Spackman, which will be hard to beat. This field was plant- ed with corn last year, the ro s running north4and south and far enougi. apart for a team to work between them • the land. between the rows was wrou ht like a summer fallow,1 and the corn s alks were allowed to stand allwinter, shich had the effect of pieventing the skiow from drifting off thelfield. This is a good plan where fields are not otherwise sheltered. - We noticed that Mr. Stinson, who owns some 300 acreslof fine land, is usy fenc- ing. The very tasty appear,. ce of the farm across the road did. not escape our notice. The rve liof poplars to the north of the orchard is very pretty, aid will re- sist a "nor' wester" pretty well. Pass- ing on we came to a crew on the road, surpassing anything in the pas, and not easily pictured in the future. ¶heir salu- tation was a deinand for 10 cenhls. When asked what for? they said. to P y for the drinks. Of course, we didn't respond. The Messrs. Westlake have a ood situa- tion, and are ornamenting their premises considerably With fences of different kinds. If the would remove Ithe build- ing between the road and the ront door, it would add to the appeara ce of the place very much. Mr. D. Wilson, across the road, is going into the fencing business extensively. We are informed he is put- ting up ajmost a mile and a half of board fence this season. This will add wonder- fully to the appearance of his farm,which we believe is one of the best in the county. We should have liked to have gone up to see his house, grove and pleasure grounds, situated about half a mile from the road, but had not time. Further o4 the crops on both sides of the road looked beauti- ful. But not being so well acquainted farther south, nothing More, worthy of notice, occurred till we reached the flour- ishing villege Of Zutich. Heite we will rest for the present, and rese ve the vil- lage for the subject of another sketch. 1 ' TRAVELLER. Quarter Session?.
