RETIRED FROM BUSINESS. —Mr. Simon Powell, the old ancl popular proprietor of Powell's Hotel, in this town, havingtfis- oed of his hotel premises, has retired. rom business, and has removed to his andsome residence on George street. We wish our old friend many comforts and long life to enjoy them. PERSONAL.—We are requested by Mr. p-. P. Brine, Division Court bailiff and County auctioneer, to state that on ac- count of the closing of Powell's Hotel, he ill, hereafter, make the Commercial his headquarters in Seaforth. All parties having business with Mr. Brine, would do well to bear this announcement in ind.

The young folks will be re- galed with strawberries and cream, and suitable amusements will be provided for all. All interested in the schools are cordially invited to attend. BASE BALL.—The game to be played in Winghara, on Dominion Day, between the Stars, of Seaforth, and the Silver Maples, of Wroxeter, has been fully ar- ranged, and will be played on the Wing - ham Driving Park grounds. According to all accounts, this will be one of the most keenly contested games yet played between these two nines. The game will be umpired by Mr. H. W. C. Meyer. Play called at 11 o'clock sharp. CONTRACT LET.—Mr. Cardno has awarded the contract for the construc- tion and completion of his new block to Mr. John H. BroacIfoot, for the sum of $9,325, the contractor to furnish -all ma- terial. This includes the whole work, except removing the old buildings, ex- cavating the cellars, and placing the shelving and counters in the new stores. I The brick and mason work will be done by Mr. Copp. The contract could not , have fallen into more conapetent hands. ' The building is to be completed. within four months. -0 NEW Mouse—We hake had the pleas- ure of hearing Mrs. M. S. Dunlop play some of her musical compositions. The " Dream of Horne Waltz" is full of sweet and tender pathos, has only to be heard to be appreciated by all lovers of good music. The " Seaforth Schottische" and the "Morning Waltz" are nearly ready for publication, and are beautiful ' original gems. Mrs. Dunlop, as a teach- er and composer' cannot- be too- highly appreciated, andwe trust our citizens will give her the support and encourage- ment which she so'richly merits. TIIE CROPS AND THE FitoeT.---Not for years have the grain crops in this county presented so promising an appearance as they do this season, and if no unforseen or extraordinary event occurs between this and. harvest, there will this year be an abundant yield of all kinds of grain. The weather, also, is congenial for roots and grass, but while pasture is good, hay as a general thing will not be more than a good average crop. Fruit, from some cause or other, .does not promise well. Much anxiety was felt on account of the very severe frost of Friday night last, but, so far as we can learn, no serious damage has been done the grain crops. In low lands potatoes and other vege- tables have been considerably injured, and where not completely destroyed, growth has been materially retarded. These, however, are exeeptional cases, and, on the whole, thus far, notwith- standing the Oa:map by frost, prospects are most en.coAraging. 1 • 'WHAT Is IT ?—A friend has left with us several entail green warts or bulbs, about the size of a common bean, which .he picked from the leaves of an elm tree. These bulbs, when opened, disclose the , paper up fact that the interior is filled with small 1 good sta inaects about the size of a flea which thograph ST.

Mr. Stark and Mr. Coventry ntend erecting a block co staining three new stores on the vacan lots between Megarey's and Robertson & Co.'s. Mr. Stark is now advertisin for tenders, r td it is the in- tention to have the buildi rgs' completed this fall. Mr. Wihiair Campbell is negotiatin for the lots ad oining his own block, for erly owned b Mr. Seatter, and inten s erecting a bu-lding to. unite his stores yth that of Mil. Ault.

ED FIRE PR a TECTION. —Mr. Editor— 1 ear Sir: The eeent terrible fire _in St. 3ohne, Ne Brunswick, which ss ept out of xistence two- thirds, in • luding nearly all the business part, of ti at large and prosperous city, calls on e ery man in anY city, town or village to iut his house in order against fire.

What ha' e we done since to increase our security o gainst another reat fire? Is our watoa- supply bette than it n as then? fur water tanks are notoriously too few a d. far between and were an- other fire to start in certein parts of the town, th re is reason to fear it might prove eq ally disastrouS with the one last fall.. Our Fire Brigade, though com- posed of en as brave and daring as ever buckled on the belt, woutd be powerless to arrest i he progress of a large fire with the presee t supply of water on hand. Men cam ot fight fire without water. Last fall they could do nothing with their fire apparatus, as there was only? one tank of water within reach, which soon beca os e exhansted. We want more tanks; tee want them at once. ‘ The ex- pense of oroviding them is a small affair compare to the importnee of having our town • roperly protec WANTS ' ' OTECT1ON. • .

Our informant states that naany of the leaves of elm trees all through the forests are covered with these bulbs, and that after diligently searching, he has been unable to find them on the leaves of any other trees. It may be that this is the man- ner in which the caterpillars, which have proved so annoying and destructive this season, come into the world, as it is oenite possible that Ithese flies, after bursting their shells, turn into the loath- some caterpillar. This theory is strength- ened, also, from the fact that the leaves of the elm trees have been almost entire- ly dsvoured, while' the leaves of other in our ed e append son spell rious abb sign (1.1: f significan the 3rd c edition re leaves to aprons," they sew made th years sine through was attra store, an was a cop but of a like in then in $' so ly one edition vas' published, ted in London probably by er Barker, in tl e early part of nth century. fts typography letter, very di tinct, and the n which it is Iprinted is in a e of preserve ion.

McKillo NOT GOING To BE EATEN. — Mr. ; William Martin, of the 5th Conces- sion of McKillop, thinks he can stump the County for orchard grass. He has shown us a sample of this grass grown on his farm which. measeres 62 inches. This shows a reniarkably rapid growth. It will be remembered titat two weeks ago we made mention of grass grown on this same farm which th n measured 43 inches, so that in two v eeks or less it has grown 19 inches. . MORE BIG WORK.— s big work is always set before the pu lic, a piece of work performed on the 3th Concession of McKillop, is worthy o notice. Four men named James Bell, Richard Robin- son, Thomas Mowbray and John Smart, together with a yoke of pxen, logged up on the farm of Mr. Ric ard Robinson, Lot 20, Concession 13, cKillop, 5 acres in two days. The work as done in a first-class manner, and was finished on the second day at 5 o'c oak. Who can beat this?

Two young striplings, who weuld like to be men, one hailing from the, village of Brussels, and the other from, the town- ship of Grey, met on the sidewalk and hustled each other, to keep' in remem- brance an old grudge. The eesult was a _fight, which caused an exciteenent for a time, also a couple of bloody noses. It is a pity there is not eome person in our village invested vsith authority to stop such disgraceful propeednags. OUTRAGEOUS.—If the 'parents of those children who threw filth of the worst kind into and on the pump at the school house, don't look after them and. teach them to do something better than what they are doing, there is every likelihood that they will serve an apprenticeship ere long in Kingston.

We may add that this gentleman is highly spoken of by the members of his church. —Since the death of the late much re- spected governor of the county jail last November, the management has been temporarily in the hands of the deceased's brothers for the benefit of the widow. This arrangeneent terminates with the present month, and Sheriff Gibbons has appointed to the vacancy the former. turnkey, Mr. Wm. Dickson. A better or more deserving appointment couldnot have been made. His long service as turnkey, about 12 years, amply fits him for the office which was so ably filled. by his predecessor.

The annual mowing match unclt the auspices of the Huron Farmers' an Me- chanics' Association was held at Bruce - field on Wednesday last. The weather was most favorable, the day being warm and pleasant. The attendance of spec- tators was very large, and some 20 ma- chines competed. • The grass cut was clover, and was pretty green. Soine of the machines did excellent work, while others seemed not to do so well in the green grass. The combined maphines were tested on a field on the farm Of Mr. Andretv Swan, and had excellent ground to work on, but the single machines I were not so fortunate. They were test- ed in e field i belonging to Mr. Scott, in whieh the ground was rather tough end stoney, and the grass very uneven end weedy. I The following maphines competed: ,Cornbined. — 2.
