We were always under the impression that Wingliam was a moral town, but the last sentence , in the above paragraph looks bad. ---Messrs. Chas. Proctor and. Thos. 'Wilkinson, of Morris, left for the Old Country Thursday morning. They pro- pose being absent about two months. —Mr. John Gorrell, Goderich town- ship, has purchased of Messrs. H. 84 J.. Watkins, of the Base Line, 40 acres, paying therefor the sum of $1,000. Six years ago the adjoining 40 acres were field to Mr. A. GoiFell, for $1,500. --A. young lady in Colborne last week, -having had a quarrel with her lover, sought to end her life by swallowing an -ounce of laudanum. Medical aid was summoned with all haste, and, the poor giti's life was saved, though she was very nearly gone. —.A_ tramp, giving his name as Fran - Fisher of Saginaw, was arrested in. Eider some days ago for entering the cooper shop of Mr. Gould and' stealing -therefrom a pair of pants. He was sent toGoderich for trial, and. has been sen- tenced to iniprisoinnent for six months. --tA, young man named Patterson, living OD the 14th con. of Grey, met with A fainful aceident on Tuesday of last week, while chopping in the woods. A tree, in coming down, *swung around, grazed -hie back and. fell upon one of his legsSbreaking it badly., —One day last week a ewe belonging to Mr. John McMillan, of Goderich township, dropped three lambs, large and fine ones, and, singular to _say, she was able to stielde the tric• at one time, haying three teats. We think this is a rare circumstance. • —It is estimated that in the Sabbath Schools Of Clinton there is an average attendance of 675 scholars every Sab- bath. In point of numbers the Metho- dist • takes the lead, being closely fol- lowed by the Presbyterian; the Bible Christi= and Episcopal being about the same. —Rev. Mr. Jones of Brussels was - suddenly called away by a telegram a week ago, which stated_ that his only son, an Episcopa.1 minister in Illinois, was not expected to live. He died ere the father reached his bedside. Mr. Jones will have much syroyathy in this heavy affliction. —Mr. Sohn Sample, lot 3, con. 6, Grey, sowed. some fall wheat on the - 15th of September last. On Friday, the 26th ult.„ he pulled a few stalks, which had altadned the goodly length of 24 inohes. The wheat was grown in a, ten acre field. There is as yet no sign of any pest in Mr. Sample's wheat fields. • —There is a,tert acre field of wheat in the vicinity of Moleswerth, in the town- ship ref Grey, which has corcunenced to head out. The heads on Friday last were nearly two inches long. There are occasional stalks of 'rye in the same field which are also headed -out. How is that for Canada on the 261h day of April? —Mr. George Moffat, of Turnberry, started for a visit to his native land on Wednesday of last -week. As- Mr. Moffat has no less than ten brothers and sisters in the old country, besides a host of other nelations and friends, his limited stay will afford him but scant time to visit them all. • We wish him a sa,fe and pleasant trip. 14—Some person or persons -drove an iron spike in the joint of the rails, on the railway track, near the Maiden- d Bridge, Londesborough, between „Satur- day and Monday last. A young man, -named Hagerty, was arrested on sus- picion, and was tried before, the •magis- trate, who committed him to Goderich gaol to await the assizes. —Mr. Charles Ilohlbein has lately bought th.e blacksmith shop of Mr. Wm. Pitinnael, in Dashwood, also the entire stock of Messre. Cook and Broderick, who have been carrying on the business for the last fifteen months. Mr. Rohl- bein will in future carry on the business himself. Mr. A. Kleinstwea has - also disposed of his house and. lot' to Mr. A. Ritter. —Oa Thursday, the second. instant, Mrs. Arch. Halliday, of Goderich, met with a padnfal, but fortunately not serious accident. She was coming clewn stairs, carrying her youngest child in her arms while her other child had hold of her hand. The latter was jeinaping • down the steps, and in doing so. acci- dentEdly oartsed her mother to lose her balance ancl fall with great force to the bottom of the s•tairs. Both the chil- dren escaped unhurt, but Mrs. Halliday was painfully bruised about the face. She received no other injuries, although the shock was severe. —The following statistics are gleaued from the Brussels Assessment Roll :— In 1877 the total assessment of the town, as returnecl by the assessor, amounted to $302,455; this year it amounts to $313,390. The value of personal property is reported some $13i -e 170 lees than last year, but real property has gene up 22:,145;$the increase in incomes is $800. Dogs have increased in number by One, but there are only two bitches against five last year. The number of persons in families is. 1,203 against 1172, an increase of 31. There are fewer cows than in 1877, and. ouiy two-thirdsef the number of pigs.' 86 horses aro owned iu the village, two more than last year. —On Saturday last a case was tried before Messrs. Fisher and McGarva,J. P.'s, of Clinton., of more than the or- dinary interest of magistrates' oases. Mr. J. Watkins, of the Base Line, near that town, was charged with being cepa fleeted. with -an illicit still seize% out there, last winter. Mr. Cavan, Inland Revenue Officer, conducted the prose- cution, and Air. Malcom' sou defended the conrt room being crowded, mostly with friends of the defendant. A nuna- ., bet of witizesses were examiaed with a view to prove the guilt of thedefendann and. although some damaging evidence was elicited against him, the case was dismissed, owiug te a. discrepancy iuel some et the evidence. • McIIartly, mate of the schooner Jane 'McLeod, hael a narrow escape during the vessel's last trip from Goderich to the Georgian Bay, about ten dieye ego. 'While the vessel was off Cove Island light in very heany weather, the sailors were instructed. to make a reef in oue ethe saiis, and while doing so the Sail, filled suddenly, swung around and struck Mel -lardy in the back, knocking hire_ head first into tit° water. He shouted as he went ever, and the cabin boy noticing the terident gave the alarm. A. rope was thrown to Mcilardy, and the vessel brought around with all speed, and he was picked. up very much exhausted. It was a close call, for the water was very cold and. Mcliardy was clad in heavy clOtliing but he swam 'bravely and maintained his c.ourage_ and pre - his lifon senceof mind, to which fact he owes —Mr. M. Hadwen, (well known in Wingharn) formerly- of Lucknow, but who lately settled in Danota,h, was few days ago shot by a colored man with whomile had a dispute over the digging of a well. It appears that a contract had been made between the parties, binding the negro to . sink the well one hundred. feet, but atn, depth of fifty feet water came in so freely that the work was stopped. Mr. Hadwen refused: to pay until the hundred feet were completed, when the negro vowed -vengeance, a,nd shortly after shot him as stated. Mr. liadwen was alive when heard from, but was not expected to recover. —The potato bug peat does not ap pear to be so numerous this 'spring in this country as formerly.. Parties work- ing amongst old potato soil say that many bugs are turned. up, but in almost every instance they are 'dead; while in former springs the bugs were turned out as lively as crickets, and. ready to mount the first potato in siglit. The supposi- tion. is that -the open .and mild winter has induced the bugs out, and. being overta,ken by sudden frost have bee* de- stroyed. If this is -the case, and, only a few remain farmers should make a pointof watChing their potatoes closely, so as to destroy these few before they lay their eggs, by Which means they may effeoteally cleali‘out the pest. — The Howick Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company, at their April meeting, accepted. 64 applications, cov- ering risks amounting to $64,900. The loss of Thomas Mitchell, of Grey, whose .ba,rn and part of contents was burned by lightning on the 19th of April, was carefully considered, and a resolution awarding him $1,000 passed. Mr. Mit- &hell had only been insured about one month. The above fire, itt addition to one last fall, necessitated assessing the Company to the amount of 3 per cent. on all premium notes in force on the 171h of April, which will be the small tax of $1 50 for $1,000 .of insurance. This is only the second assessment in 5 years, and onthree-fourths of the mem- bers of the Company, the first draft since they entered. —A foot race between A. Bright and H. Elliott, took place on the race course in Exeter, on Friday evening last. The distance was 100 yards for Elliott, and 106 yards for Bright, that -is, Elliott was placed 100 yards from the home mark and Bright was put six yards be- hind Elliott. Each of the:runners ap- peared to be -certain that he would win the race. After the distance was care- fully measured, Messrs. R. Bissett, J. Hawkshaw, and W. Jermyn were ap- pointed as judges; and Messrs. W.' Balk - will, Jr., J. Orr and j. Farmer were chosen to start thorn. The latter men- tioned gentlemen gave the. signal for starting, and did it to the satisfaction of all interested. Bright did not appear to gain much on his opponent for the first 50 yards, but after that he gradual- ly gained on Elliott, and when within a few yards of the home mark Bright gained ground very rapidly. The race Was so close that it was difficult for the spectators, and even for the judges, to determine which won. Two of ; the judges, however, decid.ecl in• favor of Elliott, the third. maintainine that Bright touch.ed the String first! The spectators were about evenly divided in Lheir opinion as to who won the race. After the judges gave their decision, some • little disturbance arose, which should be guarded. against on such oc- casions. On Eggs. 114.EDITon.—Dear Sir: I wish to draw your attention as well as the attention of your enlightened readers to the absolute necessity of improving the breed of our domestic fowls. But how is it to be clone, so long as our egg -buyers will buy by count or. -by the dozen, tin.d pay thirty per cent. premium for su eh scrub- by eggs: So long as they do this, just so long will the egg producers be forced. togrotv Liliputia,n hens to supply them. But this places us in a false position in foreign lands which we do non deserve, for people will judge from our produets more than from our . words. 'They will think this beloved Canada of ours is a cold, sterile part of the world, where nothing but scrubs can grow, which is not the case We can grow the largest fowls- and the largest eggs in the world and if we had a chalice of selling them by weight, you would see how soon the improvement would take place. I have been a breeder for over half, a centnry. I have bred every kind of fowls from the great naked. Shanghai, which our boast- ing neighbors would say required to have the two lower joints of their legs taken off so that the hens coilld hear hina crow, to the smallest bantam which would be an ornament in a canary's cage, and as a general rule, I have found that the largest heft will lay' the largest egg and the most ia number. I do not keep many good fowls, only three for my owu use. I will describe them. No. 1, a beautiful pencilled: light Braman hatched last july, commencei laying onithe seventh of january, 1878, and she haslayed 73 eggs in76 days. Any eigbt of her eggs will weigh on.e pound.. The strain of such a number of eggs on the frame sb.owecl she wanted rest. I gave her 15 of her own eggs on the251h of March, and. on the 15th. of April she came off with 15 of the prettiest chicks, covered from back to claws, of a gold color, and to -day they are three weeks old and all alive. Na. 2 did almost as well and is now sitting. No. 3, the ori- giu of which I do not know, but she lays the biggest eggs of any hen that 1' own. Every 13 of her eggs will weigh Iwo pounds.- ,1 have saved. 20 of her last layed env to sether on.. I sold one cock t� Mr. In Elliot when seven months old, which weighed nt pounds live weight. The day is not fax distant when you will see car loads shipped to Europe both alive -and frozen. Hoping that this will set the egg buyers to weighing their eggs when they will find that the average is about 10t to the pound. A. B. 13ROWNSON. 1.1xerier,o, May 7, 1878. Deaths.

SEEDS, SEEDS.—For the laet six years wiesea & YOUNG have done a leading business in Field and Garden Seeds, and on account of keeping the very best seeds, bought from the most reliable seed growers and dealers,their trade is steadily in- creasing every year. This year, owing to the fail- ure of the crop in Britain, first-cdass Swedish turnip eeed will be very sauce and dear, and farm- ers will have to be very careful that they do not get inferior seed and lose a crop, as there will bwit lot of -old and poor seed in- the market, whieh un -1 scrupulous and inexperienced dealers will try to sell for the best. Wrnson & YOUNG bought early, and have seeured a good large stock of prime new seed, which will be sold as low as any other in the.Cotin- ty, quality considered. The best is the cheapest in the end.
