No one fact speakitore emphatically for the merits of the Dominion t)rgan than that in lesa than two year. the demandfor these beautiful instruinents has more than doubled, and they are now to be found, 'in England, Australia, West Indies, South Arne/Ica, and almost every civilized country on the face of the globe. Messrs. SCOTT BROTHEAS, Mu- sical Instrument Dealers, Seaforth, base on hand a large stock of these fine instranaents.

All are doing a good buei- ness. Besides these, the dry goods' stores, vrith on .or two exceptions,com- bine groceries. We venture to say that few towns in Ontario can claim asmuch competition in. the groceryline. The ef- ect of this competition, if it -is not over- crowdedi;inust logically make Seaforth a good place to get groceries. THE SALE OF THOROUGHBRED STOCK. —A meeting of the conamittee appoint- ed to make final arrangements for the sale of thoroughbred stock was held at Clinton on Tuesday.

Mr: Kidd. having purchased from Mr. Carmichael the lot adjoining Mrs. Whitney's block, he intends ereot- ing thereon, in the spring, a large brick store, which he will occupy as a tin shop and hardware store. Thus will be added one more link in the chain of magnificent business edifices in this town_ JOURXILISTIC.—The Stratford. Beacon has enlarged its borders, donned a new dress and is printed on a new press. The Beacon now contains 40 lona col- umns, and enjoys the reputation of be- ing the largest local paper in Canada. It has long stood at the head of the list of local journals in Ontario, and under its present management it well sustains its fernier reputation. That it may oontinne to prosper and enrich thepres- ent genial and clever proprietor, as it has came his ptedecessora is our fervent -wish, Titi Dux -tame Cute.— Our towns- peepwill-be pleased at learn that the Seaforth Di:emetic Caub have now in course of preparation Edmund.

The first part of the programme was taken up by 1Vir. Moir, who gave solutions to the 2nd class Algebra paper of last july. This gentleman handled tke subject itt. a very able and interesting retainer and demonstrated some very critical points, -which was highly appreciated -by all present. The election of officers was then proceeded with, and resulted as follows : S. Hicks, President; James Hartley, VicePresident ; T. S. Menarey, Secretary -Treasurer. The following programme was arranged for nextreeet- ing: Natural Philosophy for 2nd class candidates last july, by W. G. Duff; 3rd class Gratnnaar, by Miss Ander- son.—Cott. 1. Millar, that all taxes in arrears after the 20th of February, 1878, be collected according to law—Carried. Moved by J. Shier, seconded by D. Millar, that $30 be laid o -at in gravelling the town line between Usborne and Blanshard— the same being an equivalent granted - by the Blanshard Council for that purpose—Carried. Moved. by J. Shier seconded by D. Millar, that Mr. Robert Creary be paid the sum of $4 for ser- vices as, arbitrator in connection with the formation of a new Union School Section between Usborne and. Blan- shard—Carried. On motion the Coun- cil adjourned till the first Saturday in March, at 11 o'clock A. M. • INDEPENDENT FORESTRY.—The f�iow- ing officers have been elected by Court Flower of the Forest, Independent Or- der of Foresters, for the ensuing term: Bros. J. H. McDougall, C. R.- D.

Davidson. A social hour was spent in speeches, reading and. songs, in which Bros. Shaw, McNa-ught, Dr. Campbell and Mr. J. Jamieson took patt. • • Blyth. REMOVAL.—Mr. Jenkins has removed* to his new building. A COLD Strait—The first really cold weather of this spason was experienced. on Wednesday, the thetmorneter on that naorning registering about zero, and the sprinkling of snow that fell on Tuesday, made fair slipping for sleighs. Another change has taken place, how- ever, the weather on Thursday being so mild. as to cause another break-up in the sleighing, of which we heats not had more than a week this season, if it were all put together. As a consequence of the lack of sleighing, business is duller than it should be: ,There is a large amount of tinaber cat in the woods and swamps, but on aoceunt of the soft weather farmers can't get to market with it, and this has a tendency to make money scarce. There is also a ,large amount of grain and. pork yet to mar- ket, -which is being held back on ac- count of the difficulty Of getting it to market over the present bad roads. THE SCENERY FOR THE NEW HALL.— Mr. L. F. Wheeler, of Tecumseh, Mich- igan, has been engagedfor several weeks painting the scenery for. the stage iniVir. Cardno's new hall. Having completed his labors on Saturday, the entire scenery was exhibited in the presence of a few of the citizeas on Saturday even- ing. Viere are in all eight different scenes, covering about 500 square yatds of MUNOZ. The following, is a list iof the several paintings: The Rock scene, Landscape scone, Woods, _Street, Parlor, Kitchen, Prison and Bedroom. While the scenery throughout displays exquis- ite skill and taste on the part of the ar- tist, the Woods, Street and Kitchen scenes aro particularly well executed and natural in appearance. The Land- scape, also, is well executed. The en- tire scenery cost upwards of $400, and. while it reflects the greatest credit upon the skill of the artist, it is only in keep- ing with the other surroundings in. this inataiiiicent hall. e • FINISHED.—Mr. Kelly's new store is almost ready for occupation. MARKETS.—Pork and wheat are down, and the farmer isnot so jubilant as for- merly. PERSONAL.—We regret to learn 'that Dr. Gracey, of this _placeill with typhoid fever, is not yet convalescent. CALL.—Rev. Mr. Lochead; of Valley- field, Quebec, received a unanimous call to Hallett and Londesboro, on Wednes- day. The reverend gentleman is said to possess eloquence and ability. MEDIOAL—The Huron Medical As- sociation met in Winghara last week, and had. an interesting session. Some new bases were exhibited, and several instructive subjects discussed.. We like to see our medicoes . enjoying them- selves, for they are in general "jolly good fellows," except when they serve us as the Russians have done the Turks lately—" chaxge us" too much. SYDNEY SMITH said "that farthings were intented to enable Scotchmen to subscribe to charitable institutions." If there are any of those charitable indit viduals here, they could scatcely carry out their desires, as the smallest " coin' of the realm" seems to be a four dollar bill. The time, trouble and loss incur- red by imen in business in making change, is almost intolerable. It is stated that instructions havebeen issued to postmasters not to sell stamps to be sent in letters for the purpose of making 'change. If so, how are we to remit small sums, for example pay the prin- ter? The Government ought to issue one million dollars each of 50 and. 25 cent shinplasters. If some of our "prospective candidates " would make this a plank in their platform, and push it to completion, they would receive the thanks of a suffering community. Templeton, P. Aikenhead, L Cumming, G. Nott, W. McMurray, J. Young, A. Forsyth, J. McLean, S. Carnochan, Jr., Wm. Stoneman— Carried.

The aasenient of the church was crowd- ed full, both town and country being largely represented. The chair was oc- cupied by Mr. D. D.

Mr. James A.

Mr. Turk, in the Methodist Church. TEA MEETING.—The tea meeting held in the Presbyterian Church, on the 17th bast., for the benefit of the Sabbath School, was in every respect a success- ful one. The weather being favorable a large number turned out, and no pains were spared by the - promoter e in. mak- ing the evening as agreeable aspossible. Amongst the speakers on the platform were the Rev. Mr. Baikie, of Harriston, Rev. Mr. Stewart, of Carrick, and D. D. Wilson, of Seaforth, who all gave humorous and interesting addresses. The. musical part was supplied by an efficient choir, under the leadership of Mrs. Brown, who enlivened the enter- tainment with some very fine selections. The proceeds of the evening amounted to $28. BAND CONCERT .—The band visited Belmore on Friday night last and gave another of their popular entertainments to a very fair audience. The frequent encores and loud pla-udits which greeted. the various performers was a sufficient guarantee that the people of that place appreciated their efforts. We would take this opportunity of referring to some rowdyism which, we are sorry to say, was exhibited in that place on the same evening, and lest those present should very naturally impute such con- duct to some of the members of the band, we will inform them that they had no connection -whatever with the band. We think that if the law- abiding people of that place would assert a little of their Magisterial authority on these occasions, it would very matetially assist in preventing a re- currence of such disgraceful exhibitions of idiocy.

Orin PV:OSPEBOUS ViLLA.GE.--Tw9 years ago there was nOt a single house -where the village of Hensall now stands. Now there is a large planing mill and. sash and door factory, owned by Messrs. Paterson & Bell; a flouring and grist mill, with font run of stones, owned by Mr. S. Rannie ; a saw mill, a bending factory, and an immense pork packing establishment. There are also two large hotels, four good stores, two black- smiths' shops, three tailors, one shoe- maker, one harness maker, two livery stables, two carriage factories, a butch- er, a baker, a doctor,two churches, a furniture shop, a stove and tin depot, two grain buye$ a cooperage, an oyster saloon, a machine repair shop, and last, but, not least, a barber. The village continues to grow, and there are new i, arrivals every 1 week. Owing to the beauty of the ,p1 ce and the fine gravel roads everywae,e in the neighborhood, a number of retired farmers have se- lected this enterprising village as their future home. There is a fine brick school. house, one of the best in the. County, within ,easy reach of the vil- lage. A few " lambs " have strayed. into the place lately, atid the village fathers are now talking seriously of building ".yees" a lock-up, - as having taken place the 20th ult., in aocorda given sbY the congrega accepted by him. Now ce with a call ion therb, and t is a fact, that COUNTRY ING INTO AND SURROUNilaNa 1101r. THAT BEFORE THEIR NEW STOftE THEY WILL HOLD THEIR FIRST 1 AUCTION SALE OF STAPLE AND the eongreaation of l3blgrave did give a call to that Reverend gentlemian, and that he accepted it, but ultimately be- forel the day appointed by the Presby- tery, for his induction arrived,,we Were informed that he was mot true metal, and being fully convinced of the fact, althOugh certain of the members of our Presbytery, declared themselves unable to believe the -evidence of at least three, most respectable -witnesses on thel case, who I affirmed to the truth* of the asser- tipn. We gave the Presbytery to under- stand that we would certainly object to his being placed over tis as a minister in fall standing in the church, of which we form a part, and SG the Reverend gentleman being afraid to face the musi& of Belgrave, withdrew his accep- tance of our call, and. we were safely delivered, from the subtle fowler's .nare spread for us. And a0 see by your paper that the Seaford' 'congregation is now inthe same posillion as we in Bel - grave, I desire hereby to warn. them to be on their guard, for it vdnild appear that there are, at least some men who have crept in,(I do not know ibitherunnwareS or hot) ungodly men,w lking after their own lusts, denying th ,Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christnand it is a mel- ancholy fact, that there are some in our Presbytery, who are! not valinsg, t (even if they were able to _convict such men, and the only r ason theyhave given, or I suppose an give, is that thope who are represented as. having crept in unawares, a e by profession, ministers of the Gospe1 of. Christ, there- fore the congregation cif Seaforth needs to be watchful whom they receive,' and be sure and try the prophets thoroughly whither they are of God,and may He in hia kindness send them atman after His own heart, is the prayer of a member of Belgrave congregation.
