Brotlierstone was not sold, but the -Whalen farm, the property of Mr. S. .G. MoCaughey, was sold to Mr. Robert McMillan, for the sum of $2,750 cash. This farm is an the 12th concession of McKillop; and cantains 50 acres. ,Cacour sr Lasr.-It will be TeMelli- bend that about two years ago a shoe- maker, named Jaynes Watson, was ar- rested here on a charge of bigarny, but he escaped from the look-im during the night, and has since kept out of the bonds of justice. Last Wednesday night Mr. Dunlop noticed him getting off the night train going west, and promptly arrested. him. • Micas. -Mr. _Carl Richter, a cele- brated pianist from Hanover, Germany, will give a couple of piano recitals in Scott, Brothers' music store, Seaforth, on the evenings of Thursday and. Fri- day, the 19th and 20th inst. Mr. Rich- ter has given similar entertainments in several of the principal towns in On- tario, and has universally delighted his audiences with his skilful performances. He has received the most flattering tes- timonials from. the Press and from pri- vate individuals of those places where he has appeared. All who wish a musi- cal treat should go to hear him. — • TEacuEns' INSTITUTE: -The next reg- ular meeting of the Seaforth Teachers' Institute Will be held in the Central School on Saturday, 14th inst., com- mencing at the hour of 10 o'clock A. M. The hour has been changed owing to the difficulty heretofore experienced in getting through with the programme in an afternoon session. The following subjects will be discussed : Second class Grammar , paper, by Mr. Sellars.'Sec- ond-class Arithmetic paper, by Mr. Lees; Address on the Teacher's -Re- sponsibility" by Mr. W. Acheson. A full -attendance is requested, as the meeting will be one of more than usual interest. Baca Aexix.-As will be seen by no- - tic°. elsewhere, the Sheppard Jubilee Singers will give an entertainment in Cardno's Hall on Thursday evening next. Th.ey have this time an entire new programme. The excellent satis- faction their entertainments gave on the occasion of their .last visit here should insure them liberal patronage this time. Thev. are a 'most respec- . table company, and their rendering of the oli plantation songs is simply charming. They have met with much successand have been greeted by very large houses wherever they have • ap- peared this seeson. We hope Seaforth -will not be an exception in this respect, MUSW CLASS. ---LAS+ will be seen by announcement 6sewhere, Professor jones intends opening classes in this town for instruction in music.- There will be a class each Friday evening. for adults, and each :Saturday 'afternoon for children. TheProfessor will also give private lessons both in vocal and instrumental music. We may state on the authority of those competent to form an opinion, that as a musical- in- structor Professor Jones has few if any equals in Canada. Ali, therefore, de- sirous of obtaining instruction, either in vocal or instrumentalmusic,should em- - brace the favorable opportunity now offered. We hope the classes, will be largely attended. , Bean Jr isY MiNn.-We -understand that Pinamix Company No. 1, Seaforth Fire Brigade,purpose giving a penny reading's entertainment in the Town Hall next Friday eveniiig. The enter- tainment will conaist of readings, reci- tations, soles, duets, choruses, instru- mental music, &c: Prof. Jones and the - very beat focal and literary talent have kindly consented to lend their aid, and an exceedingly interesting tula varied progranunO, will be presented. Not- withstanding the high character of the .entertainment„ the admission fee has been placed at ,figure, viz.: 10. cents. This will give patrons of this kind. of entertainments an 'opportunity of spendina'a„ pleasant evening at less than half '''-the usual price, receiving equal, if not more value, in return,a consideration which, we fancy, , .should have considerable weight these hard times.

This, combined with his earnestness and ap- parent sincerity, are some of the in- fluences which render his ministrations so effective. , -^-11 Zurich. A CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. - Some time last summer Mr. William Nichol- son, of Hay, purchased. a team of horses from Mr. E. Bossenberry, of Zurich.

A FINE RESIDENCE. - Mr, q-olin Thomson, of the Steam Saw Mill„Me- Nillop, has just completed one of the largest and _finest residences in the township. It is beautifully situated and presents a very handsome appearance externally, while internally it is beauti- fully finished, and is at once comforta- ble, commodious and elegant. We but express the wishes of his many friends when we say that we trust the genial proprietor may be long spared to enjoy the comforts of his handsome home. IMPROVEMENTS. -New buildings lire springing up everywhere, and among those which have been built this year may be mentioned that of Robert Canapbell, which is a beautiful brick residenee, with a slated- roof. When the house was fiiaished Mr. Campbell invited the young folks to come and. spend an evening at his house. The result was that the young people had one of the most agreeable times that they ever spent. Mr. William James Shannon and Mr. Cook have both erected residences which are ,a credit to the owners and an ornament to the country around. The Baptist Church two and a half miles east of Winthrop, is nearly finished, and will soon be ready for divine worship. EDUCATIONAL. - The following is a correct report of School Section.
