matches into the hollow of the partition
wall, and that in some way these matches
had been ignited, thus causing the fire.
It is fortunate the fire did not occur at
night, as if it had a serious conflagration
might have been the result.
PROPERTY Cereesdi.-Mr. John Dun-
can has disposed of his house and lot on
Johnstreet to a gentlemen from St.Cath-
erines, for the sum of $1,000. It is a
comfortable and pleasantly situated resi-
dence, and is well worth the money paid
for it.

CHANGE OF TEA.ottERS. -Mr. Graham ,
the second teacher in the Seaforth Pub
-
bile School,havingtiesigned his situation,
the Trustees have temporarily engaged
Miss Broadfoot to teach that department
until January.
THE NEW Gannom-The brick work
on the new Methodist Church building
is now nearly completed with the excep-
tion of the tower. Externally it is one
of the most handsome edifices in this
part of the country.
-Mr. Goerge Dent has purchased. from
Mr. Cull -the brick store, on Main street
at present occupied by Mr.. Armstrong.
The price paid was $3,500. Mr. Dent in-
tends removing to his new store about
the 1st October.
CARMICHAEL'S BLOCK. -Mr. Robert
Carmichael has just completed the brick-
work of two -handsome, stores on Main
street. One of them is to be occupied by
Mr. McMulkin, and we have not yet
learned who has rented the other., On
Wednesday last the workmen commenced
tearing -down the old walls of the hotel,
preparatory to rebuilding. The new
building will be 75x44 feet, three stories
high, and when finished will be one of
the handsomest buildings, in Huron. It
is expected to be opened. by Christmas.
Messrs. Adams & Holliday are the • con-
tractors' and will push the work through
all with apossibl e energy.
,ACCIDENT. -On Wednesday afternoon.
a, scaffold used by the bricklayers at
Stark's block fell down with a crash.
The scaffold was erected. on the joists of
the second Story, and. being over loaded
with bricks, gave way, taking the
joists with it and precipitating one work-
man who was on the scaffold at the
time to the ground floor. No serious
damage was done, and the man was oed.y
slightly bruised and scratched. It is
strange that notwithstanding the many
serious accidents which happen in this
way, workmen will persist in risking
their lives on insecure scaffolds, neerely
to save a few minutes' extra labor and
half a dozen nils.

PROLIFIC PEAS. -Mr. John Thompson,
of McKillop, near Kiaburn, showed us a.

From six vines of these peas he had a
yield of 1,777 pods; one of the vines
yielding 404 pods. • This year he planted
118 peas, and frora this he reaped a yield
of 25 pounds. The 'vines are of great
length, and the peas are a beautiful sam-
ple, being large and. sound. Peas that
will yield like these ought to make a prof-
ita.ble crop. Mr. Thompson does not
know the name of this variety.

Hensall.
Mn. EDITOR: Knowing that a large
number of EXPOSITOR'S come to Hensall
and vicinity, and that your subscribers
in these parts would like to see sOrne-
thing about their village in your paper, I
therefore send you a few items of news,
hoping you will give them a place in
your paper. For rapid and substantial
growth, I clo not think that there has
been anything like Hensall in our
country; it pas one in mind of what we
thave heard as occurring in some other
countries, where towns and cities have
sprung up in a few :years. It is only a
little over a year since the first house was
erected here, and we have already nearly
all the advantages of a town or city, with-
out the expenses. Our present popula-
tion is between three and four hundred,
and ever increasing, representing nearly
played in about ten days, of which due
notice will be given. The Messrs. Pau-
lin and Brock of Wroxeter, Smith of Lis-
towel, Armstrong of Parkhill. and a
player from Palmerston have beenen-

their full strength, and an exciting g'ime
may be anticipated. .Parties who 11,aore

it is that our Mayor does not have an

Now persons having business with our

works, and. in order to get there have to
pick their way through mud and filth.

ANOrliER FIRE ALARM. -An Wednes-
day afternoon about 3 o'clock, the rail-
way freight -house was discovered to be
on fire. The alarrn was speedily given
and the firemen and a crowd of anxious
citizens were soon on the spot. The ser-
vices of the firemen were not, however,
needed, and the anxiety of those who
had goods in store was considerably re-
lieved, when it was ascertained that the
fire was not serious. The partitiop which
divides the business office from , the

of freeholders will submit a by-law for
the purchase of a steamer, which will be
the next best protect'on tint can be got.
It is hoped: the matter will not be allow-

few days since Mr. T. Emerson,
of the 2nd Concession of Hullett, at-
tained his 87th year, and. by way of cel-
ebrating the event, he carried two bush-
els of wheat on his back a coneiderable
distance. There are not many persons of
this age who oould perform the same feat.

Snell out, and breaking his ankle. He
was speedily taken home, and had the
fracture attended to. He will be con-
fined to the house for some time.
-Messrs. Mackie & Young, of Paisley,
have declined taking the contract for
building the Winghara school house.
Among other reasons for throwing it up
is the fact that they believed sand could
be got on the premises, buts they now
find that such is not the case'and that
it will have to be purchased at 40 cents

of J. W. Jackson ($7,999), which the

-On Saturday evening, as Mr. George
Turnbull, a companion'and a dog, were
passing along the St. Marys road, they
saw an individual approach, whom they
supposed to be Harry Brown, of Win-
chelsea, a friendly, good-natured fellow,
and very intimate with Turnbull:
Thinking to play a joke, they got be-
hind a block of wood, and awaited his
arrival. As he drew opposite, one threw
out a stone, and the other sent out the
dog. Mr. grown playfully picked up the
stone, in the darkness not knowing
whence it came, and pitched. it at the
block. Turnbull, who was behind it, re-
ceived its full force on the skull, smash-
ing it in. He wan at once conveyed to
Kirkton, where Dr. Irving did all he
could for hina. He is now doing well

-The ad.ventures of an Exeter horses
trader are thus depicted by the Time :
"One of our town merchants, known as
an extreme lover of horse flesh, and who
never takes a stump," met with a com-
pany of travelling gipsies a few days
since, and managed to trade to them a
number of bones piled. up in the shape of
a horse, the vertebra being exceedingly
well definnd, out of which animation had
scarcely yet fled, foe an equally noble
specimen, of a grayish hue. His pock-
ets were depleted to the amount of $2.50
by the transaction. That same evening
the beast, a solitaire life not being prefer-
able to the one he had left, broke jail and
soon was he the possession of the pound -
keeper. Seventy-five cents released him,-
and then $1 bmied him the next day.
The heaves are a bad thing to cure,
especially when the medicine is applied
by gipsies."
