We swish them iota of sport, 'sowed and refreshing slumber in their tents, and -a safere- turn th friends and business. _ severe frost of Wednesday night has -considerably injured potatoes and other garden vegetables, but we have not learned that serious damage has result - .ed. to the grain oefruit, crops.—Several of our leading citizens' visited Goderich- ye§terday for the purposetif persuading the County fathersto grant the author - itis of this town permission to estab- lish a High School here.—Large quan- tities of cordwood are now being deliv- er d in town.—Regular meeting of P ceni-Vporapany No. 1, Seaforth Fire Bijigad, next Monday evening.

A _large turn out of members is desirable.—The Seaforth band goes to Goderich, on the 14th inst., to take part in the band tournament in that town. NEARLY AN ACCIDENT.—Last Satur- day evening a girl of L. Mabee's was wheeling a carriage, in which was a child, along Main street. Having owe- aion to go into a storeesheleft the car- riage on the sidewalk. She had scarce- ly got her back turned when the car- riage started to roll down an incline of the sidewalk towards the read ; but for- tunately in its descent it struck a tie, post, thus breaking its falleand turning it over. When the child was extricated it was found. to be more frightenedthan hurt. Had it not been for the post there is no doubt but that the conse- quences would have been more serious, as the sidewalk at that point is fourfeet higher than the road. F trer,Ttli"e'NnBe'sveatDb.a—ndPrinotestsismorctoCrh,Argaleves th baed their first lesson on Wednes- daSr evening. • His 'mode of instruction, -and his excellent cernet playing was iteneh admired by the members, and it is hoped that ' under his tuition the band will make rapid progress and. be- come eminently proficient. Since the re-erganization of the band the sum of $229 has .been received from engage- ments and donations, and nearly the whole amount has been expended- irt. precuring new instrunaents, music, and. defraying current expenses, so that now, il net ess further aid is secured, the mem- be s will have to defray • expenses of tuition, &c. out of their private resour- ced, which many of them cannot well afford. to do. While we fully appreciate the difficulties under which the band labors for the Want of funds, we cannot think but the townspeople would treat it much more generously if it would dispense its music more. liberally, and now that a competent instructor has been secured we shell hope to hear more frequently from the Town Band. If an arrangement could. be made be- tween the Town Council and. the band, by which it could be brought ie some measure 'tinder the control of the come. cil, and` a, guarantee secured that the membership would be reasonably per- manent, we have -no doubt but the rate- payers would be fully satisfied. to allow the council to ' undertake the cost of tuition, as is done in many other towns. By such an. arrangement, permanent membership and efficiency would, be sectired, and the people would have a gu&rantee that the mojeey they expend- ed bn the band I would be productive of good and that they would receive SOME, • return for the money thus appropriated. We hope the hits we have given will be ated on by the band and. the coun- cil. • • - • A GROWING- NUISANCE.—Mr. Editor— Sir: The baby carriage nuisance has assumed the form. of an epidemic . -in. I this town .of late. It is utterly impos- sible to take 0, dozen steps without coming in contact .with one of these now considered to be indispensable modern appendages to the household. Tum what corner of a greet you like, whether north, southeast or west, you are sure to meet one of them, and as for the sidewalk on Mithestreet, why it would. tax the skill of a Government Meer to navigate clear of them eng. without stepping into the street. It Tuekersmithe • weuld be desirable if the Council wonld levy a special rate on the owners of these carriages, as without doubt one of • them alone would contribute more to the wear and tear of the sidewalks in a week, than a small army of men would in a month.—A Bscumene Lacer, BuiErs.—A little boy, aged about two years, son of Mr. -William McCulloch, of this town, fell and broke his arm on Saturday last While playing in the yard.e-Mr. John Meyer, and. Messrs: Robert Either Sr. and. Robert —Fisher, Jr., left for a trip to Manitoba on Tuesday. — The refreshing rain shower of Monday had a most bene- ficial effect upon the growing crops.

The best wishes of his friends and acqttainta,nces will accom- pany hien to his new home. His brick cottage and garden of one acre and a quarter, which is the prbttiest place in the village, - is not yet -sold. Parties wishing- to retire from business would find it a very comfortable and conven- ient home. FALL WHEAT..—A correspondent says thatone day last week a stalk of fall wheat was milled from a ten acre field on the lama of Mr. Thos. Robertson, 2nd concession, which ineasured five feet three inches in length, and not then headed out.

And as to me being a Hensall man in name only I don't for a moment deny but I may be such in the estimation of the in- significant few who make .high preten- sions to rule there. But as it takes all sorts of people to make a world, it also • takes the same to make up a village. Henson is a first-class business centre, having good business people, and I claim and feel proud to be one of them in reality, as well as in name, but can testify that the Blyth players are as honorable and reliable gentlemen as anybody in Hensel..

He gave a lecture on" Home" in this place last Wednesday evening, The dis- course was divided into four parts. let, our national home; 2nd, our social home; 3rd, our parental home; and 4th, our heavenly home. The lecture was ,considered an exceedingly good one, taking into account the advantages of the speaker; but there is no doubt that too much was attempted on the part of the lecturer, as it would take a half dozen lectures to do justice even to the first part of the discourse. A collection was taken up in aid of the lecturer at the close of the meeting. Hensall. . • LEASED.—Messrs. McGregor & Urqu- hart have rented from Mr. S. Rennie his large new grist and flouring mill.
