I —The Brussels Council have soffered to subnait a by-law to the ratepayers granting a bonus of $7,000 to Messrs. Fraser & Galles, of Teeswater, if that firm will agree to establish its works in that tOw u for such a bonus. The offer is certainly a liberal one, if the rate- payers will sanction it, , —Mr. James Whenhaan, of Londes- borough, has been under the necessity of calling a raeeting of his creditors, who, however, have aiSpointed trustees to see to the continuing of the business, h for- goes from smart tricks of that wily people, sent over a deed of his property, properly executed, to Mr. Smith, who, upon re- ceiving it, repaired to a law office for the purpose of having his farm cenveyed to the ROAMS man.

It is needless to say that Mr. Smith stop- ped the conveyance. The trick was very sharp, and but for the advice of one of that much maligned class, the lawyers, it would have succeeded, and. left Mr. Smith almost in poverty., —A large number of the leading far- mers in the vicinity of Wingham as- sembled in the Queen's hotel hall on Wednesday of last week, to discuss the advisabilityof establishing a butter fac- tory. Mr. Chas. Henderson was called to the chair, and after making a few in- troduotory remarks, called on Mr. E. L. Gales to address the meeting. Mr. Gales said that the present state of the butter market called for the considera- tion of all farmers and. dealers in but- ter—it was one of total collapse—owing to the poor quality of the butter manu- factured. it was almost unsaleable on the British market. He stated that the loss to Canada was over one million dollars a year, and. pointed. out that this aMOUrrt might easily be saveti by the adoption of the factory or creamery system. Mr. Woodcock said that if reasonable support were offered by far- mers, say the milk of 350 or 400 cows, they—Woodcock & Gales—on behalf of Messrs. A, A. Ayer & Co., Montreal, were prepared. to put up a factory and buy the milk from the farmers at 8c per gallon on the stand. To make this successful farmers must keep good. cows and feed them well. Farmers in the counties of Oxford. and Waterloo frequently make from $30 to 440 per cow during the season of six months. After considerable discussion a commit- tee was appointed to canvass the neigh- borhood. and report. and granted. Mal an extension of time, when Mr. Whenha,m hopes to be able to settle his indebtedness in full. —On the 15th of last month a ewe belonging to Mr. R. j Henderson, Sr., gave birth to two fine lambs, and al- though arriving at such an unusual sea- son, they are doing well. .

Another lamb was born in the same flock on the 25th, and is doing well. —During the fine weather of last Jan- uary, some spring wheat was sown as an experiment, on the farm of Mr. H. Elford, near Holmesville, in Goderich township, and as the snow has all gone, the wheat can now be seen, nice and. green, about an inch and a hall high. Its owner an- xiously watches its growth, and hopes it may be uninjured until the harVeeter takes it in hand. —Messrs. D. and J. Fisher have pur- chased a fine heavy draught stallion, Canada's Glory, siredby Wonderful Lad., dam by Netherby. He is a pretty bay, and weighs 1,700 pounds. These gentlemen will start shortly for Thinois with their young carriage stallion Won- derful Lad and three other stallions to travel them, and. will be accompanied by Mr, J. Robertson[ with his general purpose stallion Black Prince. -,Some time ago Mr. James Hack- iseire of. Usborne, had. a valua,ble ewe killed by dogs belonging to Mr. Samuel McCurdy, of the same township. The owner of the dogs refusing to pay the damages his property had done, Mr. Hackney had. him summoned before Squire G-ridley, of Exeter; who made him pay the price of the ewe, $10, and costs to the amount of $9. —The village of Gerrie has nowegot 2 harness shops, 2 shoe shops, 1 hardware store, I dry goods stores, 3 tailor shops, 1 milinery store, 7 grocery stores,1 bakery and confection- ery, 1 drug store, 3 hotels, 2 tin shops, 3 blacksmith shops, 2 wagon and. carriage shops, 1 agricultural implement store, 1 furniture store, 1 steam pump factory, 1 sash and door factory, 2 sawmills, 1 grist mill, 1 shingle factory, 1 post of- fice, 2 telegraph offices, 2 butcher shops, 1 photograph gallery, and last but not least, 1 good printing office. —Mr. Alex,: Smith, treasurer of the township of Usborne, had a very nar- row escape from the clutches of a very adroit swindler..
