Silver -Ore& is now drained. Has the worthy Doctor yet corapleted. his part of the agree- ment ? If he has, it is now about time that our Town Fathers were doing some- thing to beautify -it., If he has not, it is their duty to see that he does. I am one of the parties, among others, who • bought lots fronting on the Square, and it was fullyunderstood then by the.pur- chasers, that the Square was to be given gratis to the village, and to be used as public property.

One Of the pro*s of the fork entered the foot under the second t oe- and came out a little below the inetep, making a bad wound. Medical aid -was promptly summoned, and the foot at- tended -Le. The poor child has eince been suffering severely, but 'it is hoped that she will soon recover. --e-Last Saturday, while playing in the base ball Match, Mr. John Lamb, of •the Star team, received a hurt which knocked his shoulder out of joint. He was at the tire tanning the bases, and while eliding into the ,third base, his felt shoulder struck against the base- man's knee, thereby rendering him un- able to continue playing that date He was immediately removed to a doctor's office, and the shoulder was attended to. He is new able to get around.

The match was to have been played for the fiVe Counties' Championship Cup, but owing to the raiii falling at the time it was changed to. a friendly game. The , day throughout was one of the most disagreea,hle that could have been ehosenset, cold, drizzling rain kept fal- ling throughout the whole game, and at n times; play had to be euspended on this - account. The Attendance of spectators e was small, owing, no doubt, to the state - of the weather. Play was called at a .

BEAUTIFUL VIEWS. — Mr. L. F. Wheelbr, aattst, of Tecemseb., Michi- gan, Whet has been in town for several weekseis engaged. in taking stereoscopic views of public beilclings. and private tesidencee. Ile hat' taken a number of views of the ptincipal buildings op. Main street, and several private -resi- dences, and one of the entire main street from Godericb. street to the sta- tion. All of these are of .surprising ac- • curacy and distinctness. Mr. Wheeler et will be glad to take views either in town. or country for.eny who may de- sire such, and he can also furnish copies of views he has already -taken. The views of the town which have been taken should be eagerly sought after by our citizens. It would be very nice to have Suolvfor hitt= reference, so that in Years to come we could look on these views and bring back to memory the scenes of long ago.

MoNaught's shop, on TirE- day% This animal, although perfectly tracta.bleat other times, was so vicious when. being shod, that before he would allow to undergo this operation, he had, to be thrown dawn, and his lees finely tied. On Tuesday last, after ee- ing placed in the proper position for operating on, he struggled so hard that before the blacksmith had completed his work, he ruptured an internal otean and died from the injury- almost iro.- anediately. No biome can be attached bat. Front. the beginning of the game, it soon became_ evident that the Stars were too strong a team fortheir oppen- elite.

They reached Goderich last Sunday by boat:1 They say that they spent a pleasant time while ' they were away, and were highly delighted with the sport they enjoyed. They also report that the teenery in those regions is truly Magnificent. They deft Goderieh ; on Wed- nesday, the 4th of June, and arrived in Dilluth by the steainer Maeitoba. From Deluth they returned to Prince Arthur s Landine by the same steamer. From this place ("they charteeed a tug boat -to couvey them to the mouth of Care River. -where they intended to en- joy themselves with fishing. _ Here they found that the fishing did not come up to their expectations, and they, deter- mined to - seek new quarters: They chartered the same boat to convey them to Red Rock at the mouth of the Nepigon Bier. The sport they en- joyed here et-xteeded their most san- guine expectations. After spending a douple of days at this place, they left for home by theManitoba,wh-ch was (m - it its homeward trip. They bro ght home with them some 216 fine b ok trout, which averaged I pound each,,catight at the Carp River, and 103 which'averaged over 21 pounds, which they got at the Nepigon River; also five fine -.galleon trout, which were caught by hook and line, the largest of which weighed 8 lbs can ht b L Reink please the most fastidious taste. The party requests us to state that they feel highly grateful for the great kindness and courtesy they received at the hands of the officers and men on board of the Manitoba, and especially to Captain. Sims, the chief officer of that boat, and' also to Mr. McLaren, factor of the Hud- son Bay Company at Red Rock, for the valuable information they received from him and. for his genial and obliging hospitality. We also learn that it is the intention of Sharp to get up a larger party to teke a trip up there next year. Winthrop. CONCERT.—Mr. E. B. Hollis, the pop- ular character' vocalist,. gave one of his entertainments in the, Temperance Hall here last Friday evening, which was attended by a fair and highly ap- preciative audience. The evening's pro- ceedings being opened by some choice musical Aelections on the organ and violin, by Meesrs. Scott and Love, which were well received, the following gave some interesting readings and reci- tations, viz.: Messrs. T. Menary, D. Dorrance, R. Burns and H. Bruns, which received great attention from the audience. The singing of Messrs. Duff and C. Herbert was a great addition to the entertainment as was evident irom the hearty encores, which however un- willingly had to be complied with. Mr. Tom MeOloy in his song the "Jolly. Cats," was, if we can judge of the merits of a public singer by the applause and heaety laughter of an audience, quite up to the mark. Mr. E. B. Hollis in all his character songs was greeted with shouts of laughter and applause, his stum.p oration and plantation scene fairly brought down the house. A moot amusing farce entitltid the "'Baby Ele- phant," kept the audience in roars of • laughter and reflected great credit on the part of the performers, Messrs. W. Morrow, R. Scott, John Gibson and E. B. Hopis. Mr. A. Scott, of Seaforth, presided at the organ, and a.ccompa,n- ied the various singers in a highly cred- itable Manner. The entertainment • was clesed by the company singing GOd Save the Queen. We _learn that Mr. Hollis has been engaged to sing at the Free Mason's concert, Brussels, on Do- minion night. Tuokersmith.

GOOD WEEAT.—Mr. George Wilson, of the 4th concession, L. R. S., Tucker - smith has spring wheat which, on the 19th'inst., was fully headed out. This wheat was sown on the 12th of March. Mr. Wilson has a field of 6 acres of it. It is the earliest and best we have heard of or seen this season. EDITOR EXPOSITOR—Sir : I Would like to ask you a plain question or two which may be of interest to _others be- sides myself. Is a pathmaster who takes the declaretion of office and who does not order out those men. on his beat who are over 21 years of age and under 60 who are not assessed and re- turns this work as done guilty of per- jury ? If he is, what punishment by law may be inflicted on. him? And if not, is he not punishable by a fine, and hew much? I do not think it either just or right for the young men on one beat, because the pathmaster acts con- . . sc entiously, to be compelled to do st tute labor, when those. Cm a neigh - .boring beat are allowed to go scot - free in that respect. I have no objection to abide by the laws of the. land and perform what the law says, but I would like to see others comply with it also. I think it is about time our township fathers looked after this thing, as I have been given to understand that it hap been carried on for a number of years 011 a certain beat in Tucker. - smiths Of course I do not wish this gentle hint to be taken up except by anyone who has been guilty. I do not want them to put the cap oil if it fitteth not. Yours, &ie, WORKING3IAN. Hay. COURT or REVISION. --The Council met as a Court of Revision pursuant to iidjournme'nt on Saturday, 15th inst.

RuNAWAX.—Last Monday, as Mr. John -Wilson and wife, of East Mawan- osh, were driving to Blyth, Mrs. Wil- son met eeith a slight accident. It ap- pears they had just .ot nicely started, when Mit- Wilson discovered he had forgotten something. Leaving Mrs. Wilson in charge of the horses, he re- turned to the house. Shortly after he left, Mrs: Wilson raised her parasol, which frightened the horses, and they started off on the jump, and ran nearly a mile, when they came -in contact with a pile of stones opposite Jaraes Parkers', throwing her out. She escaped with a sprained wrist and a few slight bruises. STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL AND CONCERT. —The ladies of.
