Miss Johnston's term of engagement having expired thus causing a vacancy, Misa Collie was ap- pointed. to Miss Johnston's department, and Mise Sarah Fisher was engaged to take Miss Collie's place. Miss Fisher is a graduate of the Seaforth school, and will, we have every confidence, make an ex- cellent teacher. y, and we have no doubt reof they speak. ROM MANITOBA. -- Mr. r, of this town, returned Manitoba on Friday last. He is by no means in love with the country. He agrees with moat all oth- ers that the Weather has been so wet on as to seriously impede tions, and to injure the the high lands. He also y t� the fact of scarcity of r mechanics, clerks and la - vises none to go thera un - ell supplied with money.

The May ' and Treasurer were instruCted to procure a bank discount sufficiept for the require- naents of the town until funds can be procured from other sources. The con:. stable was instructed. to lay information against any persons guilty of obstructing the public streets by laying earth there- on or otherwise, without the consent of the Council, or who permit nuisanoes on their premises contrary to the by-laws of the town. A communication was read from the Treasury Department inform- ing the Council that the by-law pro- viding for the investment of the Munici- pal Loan Fund money had been aecepted 'a.nd that the money would lse forwarded at once. , BASE BALL MATCH, -THE BENEDICTS Vic -reasons.- On Wednesday last a game of base ball between a picked nine of the married and an equal number of on the agricultural grounds. Th game the single men of the town was played was evenly contested, was very interest- ing, and was witnessed by quite a large number of spectators. For amateurs the playing was excellent. At the conclu- sion of the -seventh innings the married men were declared the victors by a score of al. to 39. This result was received with the greatest jubilations by the "old chips," who greeted the announcement of the scorer by throwing their Gaps into the air, and cutting other comical 'antics, which showed them to be r good for some years yet; while " the boys " were equal- ly depressed and dispirited,some of them vowing that they would remain in a state of celibacy until they retrieved their lost laurels. It is expected that al return match will be played soon, when? rather than that any should become sour old baohelors, it would be well for the " old- uns " to give the boys a chance," and so bring upon their heads the blessings of many trembling maidens. The du- ties of umpire were efficiently abd sat- isfactorily performed by Mr. Robert Latimer. The following is the score: BACH <AGM.

LONG TIMOTHY. -Mr. James Love, of the llth concession of McKillop, has shown us specimens of timothy' grown on his farm, the etalks of which measure 64 inches, and the heads 5 inches. Mr. Love has five acres of this orop and it is all very heavy. It is growing on high, dry land, and this is the second season for tbe grass. WHEAT SPOILED. --Mr. ,Tames Scott, of Roxburgh, McKillop, has a field of fall wheat,which was completely destroy- ed by the heavy frost of a few weeks ago. The grain around the fence does not seem to be much injured, but in the centre of the field it is useless. Mr. Scott did. not notice his loss until a few days ago, and the discovery, as may well be imag- ined, was not a welcome oae. The crop is very heavy on the ground, and but for the blight would have givea a very large yield. The land had been old pasture land, and was broken up for the first time last summer. It was iconsequently very rich, and being loamal soil was por- ous and open. The frost seenss to be at- tracted more to land of this description than to any other.

OBrruAnY.-It is our painful duty to record the death of Miss Annie Hogg, aged 19 years, who- died on Tuesday last, after a protracted illness of nearly five menthe from that fatal disease, con- sumption. The deceased was held in the highest respect by every one who knew her, and the afflicted fami:y has the sympathy of the whole community in their sad bereavement. The remains were conveyed to their last resting -place on Wednesday afternoon, when a- large number turned out to pay a last tribute of respect to one so highly esteemed. Hay. GOOD GRAIN. -Mr. James Hagan, of the township of Hay, near Hill's Green, has some of the finest grain growing on his farm that has ever been produced in the County of Huron. His fall wheat, of which he has about 20 acres, will av- erage over 40 bushels per, acre, and the grain is of a beautiful sample. The wheat is of the Scott and Treadwell varieties, the former being about the finest sample we have ever seen. He has also a field of New Zealand oats, the heads of which measure 15 inches in length, and a field of barley, the stalks of which measure four feet three inches. The barley is of the six -rowed variety. We expect to hear more of Mr. Hagan's grain about the time of the fall shows and the Provincial Exhibition. • pp,iaEJs.
