Tim DRASrATI(; OLDS.—Our readers
will be pleased to learn that the Sea -
=forth Dramatic Club intend giving a
• couple oitheir popular entertainments
shortly. On the evening of the 22nd of
May, they will play for the benefit of
the Mechanics' Institute, and on. the
evening of tlite 24th they will take a
benefit for the Club. The plays which
I will. be given'on the above occasions are
"Rose of Etrick Vale, or the Bridal of
:of the Borders," and " The Loan of a
Lover." They are both excellent plays,
and will be sure to draw large audi-
ences..
Tnn BeaseeDVILL1 . CEMETERY.—We
leave recently heard frequent complaints
from persons having (relatives interred
in the Egmondville cemetery, to the -
effect that some malicious persons e
in the habit of pulling up and dextro
ing. fi,owers and other decorations plant-
ed on the graves.: Such sacrilege is -dis-
graceful,: and should be severely punished
if the guilty parties. can be asces tained. .
, _jt is very distressing to the feelings 'a-
way who may,: out of respect and love
to, the dead, decorate their graves, to
have the fruits of those labors of love
ruthlessly destroyed. We. hope the
mere mention of the circumstance will
be sufficient to cause a discontinuance
of the practice complained of.
SIR RANDAL: RoDERTS.--MM any of our
readers will remember Su Randal Rob-
erts, who gave anelocutionary entertain-
ment Here something over a year ago.
An American exchange says of hill;.:
" Sir Randal Roberts is in a broil in
Boston. He exhibited a painting en-
titled , ' The Oyster Girl,' representing
that it was original with himself ; but
the purchaser soon , discovered that It
was a copy of a French picture, and re-
turned it to the art store where he had
bought it. Roberts gave another pic-
ture in its stead, but the matter is be-
ing .discussed by him and the purchaser
in the newspapers, the latter threaten-
ing to place 'The Oyster Girl' and a
photograph of the French original on
exhihition side by side."
cided to place the building further from
the street than was at first intended.
This will be en improvement.

REc.' MR. GOLDSMITH ,IN HAMII TOX.- '
Rev. Mr. Goldsmith, formerly of Sea -
forth, delivered a lecture a few even-
ings ago before the Young Men's Chris-
tian Association in HamiltotL, The
Times says °' Dr. Anderson occupied
the chair, and after the usual prelim-
inaries briefly introduced Rev. Thomas
Goldsmith, who delivered a most elo-
quent and impressive lecture on ' Self -
Government.' ;Mr. Goldsmith divided
his subject into three parts : (1$t) The
physiological qualifications of a people
for .self-government ; (2) the balancing
of power between sovereign and subject,
so as to preserve the prerogative 'ref the
sovereign on one hand and the 'liberty
of the subject on the other -thug secur-
ing order without despotism and�liberty
without licentiousness, which would in-
' olve jurisprudence ; and (3) the ele-
ments of individual character necessary
to self-government considered 'lin the
light of ethical science. `,Mr. Goldsmith
stated it was his purpose that evening
to take up the last mentioned view par-
ticularly, viz.; the elements of indi-
vidual character necessary toself-gov-
ernment measured by the standard of
ethical analysis. .He took this view
both from choice as being by far the
most important, underlying and con-
stituting as it does the very basis and
condition of all the rest. The improve-
ment of - society, he said, comprehends
th . ovement of the individualities

A.PHIS.—I read. with much inter-
est the communication from H. L. Ver-
cOe, in your paper of May 3, on the,
" aphis," from which I conclude ants
and the lady bird are our best friends.
Now, if Dr. Vercoe cau tell us of a
good, safe way of getting rid of those in-
festing our houae plants, he would do a
favor to alllovers of pretty floevers about
a few days ago, I was much struck wi.
the beauty of the Side Walk..s, which
are by_no means creditable to the in-
habitants. The quantity of brushvtood,
and even trunks of fruit trees which
are thiOwn out upon it, have rendered
the -walk entirely impassible in a great

OUR TOWN.—Dear Editor : The time
draws nigh when pic-nic and exe-ursion
poetics will again become the order of
the day, when the City of Seaforth will
be sending its inhabitants down to our
beautiful sea side, to get a sail on the
magnificent lake Hnron. I wish them
as they 'approach our town to take
marked notice of the vast improvements
going on. When they pass Pollock's
eornenand the Jewish syn agogne,the first
that is worthy of remark is the palatial
residen e of Dr. Woods, the grounds
surroun ' g which are tastefully laid
out by ii 's English gardener. While
further len they •will find. OHT -beau-
tiful market squaxe nicely ploughed. up,
ditches male, culverts put in, holes
filled up, and all rough iparts made
smooth, new grounds for our cricket
club, and base ball players, all under
the able superintendence of the Bay-
field inspector of public works. To the
south rises the large new tailor shop .pf-
" Little Christian,' by which name he
is known all over. Lant, but not least,
on the West stands the palatial resi-
dence of Dr. Stanbury, -with its tower-
ing spires reaching up towards the clouds.
By this time the visitors reach the end
of the square, where for the present we
will leave them to enjoy their visit in
one of the healthiest places in the

Bride, late Of Seaforth, have leased the
blacksmith shop from Mr. Ingram. Both
being enterprising young men and un-
deretanding their business throughly

of the public patronage.
TEA MEETING.—The tea -meeting in
the Bible Christia,n Church came off on
Thursday. night of last week, and al-
though it was a very stormy evening,the
honse was crowded, and no , doubt
quite a nice sem realized. Th6 Bible
Christians are d.oing -a good work in
Hensall.
QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. — Arrangements

Eineon-Sin-A short descrip-
tion of the above place, or as it is gen-
erally called Sisterville, might be inter-
esting to quite a nuniber of your read-
ers. It is beautifully situated near the
Maitland rivenon the boundary between
East and West Wawa,nosh. Although.
it cannot boast of a large population, -
yet evee that is fast increasing, -it can
truly feel proud. of its position ,and the ad-
vantages which nature has 'so bountiful,
ly showered upon it. Being built on the
face of a hill, a fine view of the sur-
rounding country can be obtained. To
the south the school at once strikes
your eye. It is e fine' frame building
furnished inrthe most approved modern
style. Here the courteone teacher,Mr.Gib
son instructs the young idea how to shoot
in the verdant minds of the youth of
that section. Still 'further south and
partly hid. from view by an intervening
woods is situated Donnybrook, -the very
mention of whose name causes mem-
ories of the frays,of old " Donny across
the wather " to flash through the mind.
To the East and West stretch well tilled
farms and. happy honaesteads-on SOMe
of which handsome and commodious
residences have been erected, probably
that built on Mount Pleasant farm is
most conspicuous for its archictectural
beaety. To the north. is seen a luxuri-
ant beaver meadow fringed by a network
of shrubbery, overstepping which lofty
pines bow their majestic heads in silent
grandeur, altogether it is one of nature's
choice spots. There is a tri -weekly
mail from Auburn, the post office being
kept by Mr. Forquhaeson, who is alsti
trustee and general law -giver of the sec-
tion. Being the central spot of East
and. West Wawanosh there is a fine op -
mine for a good general store, shoe-
niakber or wagenraaker, and ere long -we
erpect to see each of the above .duly
represented. At present, Mr. Philips,
of the " smithy," at the anvil toils and
atteirds to the wants of a large and. ap-
preciative community. A. W.

GREAT OFFERING
14EW CARPETS.
Opened yesterday, ISth
Musicat.-Prof. Salter has for -the
past three exionths been engaged. in
teaching a singine class, which met in
the basement of bTnmer's church., and.
in the discharge of his duties as a teach-
ei he has given every proof of his' ex-
cellent ability in that line. The man-
ner in which he' entered into his work,
and the unbound.ed zeal which he main
tained for the advancenaent of those un-
der his care, was enough to convince
one that he had the welfare of his cla,ss
at heart. He is not like some who
wish to have the time put in any way,
and then get their pay and away they
go, and do not care Whether the pupils
• have got value for their money or not.
He faithfully performed his part, and if
the pupils were as willing to learn as he
was to teach them, there is not the
slightest doubt as to What the result
would be. Last Friday night being the
last night of the quarter, tie -was pre-
sented by the members of his class with.
a hearty and unanimous vote of thanks
for the very satisfactory manner in
which he conducted the class. A class
has been.formed in the same place for
another quartet. The same gentleraan
-has been conducting a class in the Bi-
ble Christian! Ichurch at Ahria, for a
coneiderable length of time, with the
same success, and. to -the perfect taitis-
faction of all concerned.
NEW Snor.-Mr. S. Davis, of Clin-
ton, contemplates opening a braneh
tin shop here. Such a business is re-
quired.

tfew days on a visit to England. We
wish them a pleasant voyage and, a safe

A Voice from Stanley.
To the Editor of the Huron Depositor.
DEAR SI11,—Sometimes some of the
-worst of men may be applauded as the
best of benefactors, -simply because they
are what the world calls " big " men.
.Felix. had many flatterers in his time,
and yet historians tell us he was a very
bad. man, patronizing and protecting
assassins. Just so the " chieftain " of a
certain party at the present day, al-
though lns past politictkl life has been
one of anything but purity, slthough he
has been ai seller of charters and. in a
sense a protector of assassins, yet there
are those who blindly -uphold him
through all. But we hope that the peo-
ple of Canada ha e not -forgotten. the
Riel affair, the Pa ific Railway scandal,
or the Secret Service money, and that
they will not vote one into power who
so shamefully abnsed. the confidence
placed in him in days gone by. ,
And so Dr. Tupper is to be leadeele
Well, let us hope that if Sir John's
mantle does fall upon him he will not
also receive a double portion of his
spirit, as he is bad enough already. .
