did they know wheat from barley, nor
oats from peas. I understand that the
Directors held a meeting, and came to'
the conclusion that I must go before a
Magistrate and swear on the Bible that
it *as new wheat. Strange proceedings
that, Mr. Editor, conSidering the in-
telligence of some of the Directors. But
as far as I am concerned, 11 am ready to
go before all the magistrates in Seaforth
or Tuckersmith, and awe that it was
alna
new wheat. But the Dire tors had bet-
ter appoint a day and sun*non a- jury
and callthe County Judge; it will make
no difference to me. I understand that
the Directors have been informed.by an-
other party that it was old wheat. If
so, the information is false and unfound-
-ed. If the Directors choose to come to
my place any day this week, and fetch
along those two imbecile judges, they
can see and. judge for themselves, as the
wheat is not threshed yet. What I ex-
hibited. I threshed. with the flail, and if
they find that what T say is not true,
.then I will forfeit my prize money rake
and all. I have never yet been guilty
of exhibiting old grain at any show, and
I defy the Directors to pqtva" it. I do
not blame the Directors fb looking af-
ter the affair, as the -like hs often been
done before, but I say that they have
taken the wrong steps in their decision,
as they have not given mea chance to
e
prove it. Nor have they en taken the
trouble to inform me of tleir proceed-
ings. I consider such conc not very un-
becoming on the part of the Directors.
All the information I hav& got was ac-
cidentally. But, Mr. Ed4r, the Direc-
tors must bear in mind that the town-
ship of Hay has long ago borne the re-
putation of growing the best wheat in
the county. Where has Mr. Robert
Charters, the President, been with his
'boasted Russian wheat?. Why, I car-
ried the first prize at the County Show
in Exeter with the same bag of wheat,
and no objections were raised. Are the
Director h jealous in letting such a prize
go out of their own township? If they
are, I cannot help it. I am yet a mem-
ber of the Ttickersmith Braneh Agri-
cultural Society, and I may yet show a
bag of wheat if I find it convenient.
Hoping these few remarks will ease
their troubled minds; Mr. Editor, I will
not attempt at present to trespass
further on your columns. I remain
yours, Auux. MeEwthz.

Huron Notes. •
Mr. Anson Dulniage has sold lot
7, concession 3, Morris, to Mr. H. Mc-
Vety, for $2,400.
—Mr. John , Meadows has been re -
:appointed caretaker of Brussels town
hall for. next year, at a salary of $40.
—Clinton last year paid in charity
the munificent sum of $19. There can't
be many poor people in that town, or if
there are they are not very bountifully
provided for.
--The Clinton Town Council expend-
ed. last year the sum of $1,845 09 itt
street ana sidewalk improvements, di-
vided as follows: Lumber and. nails,
6O1.93; gravel, $514 , labor, $729.16.
—Last week Messrs. George H. Aid-
fatt, Andrew Miller, Wm. Thomson,
Robert Moffatt and. John Snell, of Mor-
ris and Turnberry, shipped. two car
loads of cattle to Toronto. These cattle
ware fed by the gentlemen mined.
—Mr. Donald McLauehlin'collector
of taxes for the township of Grey, col-
lected in one day at the village of Gran -
brook, the _sum of $1,800. The good
people of Grey seern to have lots of
money, and. Mr. McLanchlin is evident-
ly the right Metal in the right place as
tax collector.
, —The secial given by Mr. Virtue and
.his kind. lady in aid of the English
Church, Fordwich, was a most pleasant
affair. All appeared happy, particular-
ly the boys and. girls. The music furn-
ished by a number of young ladies Was
excellent:; but, the grand feature of the
evening was the collection of $22.
—Last week Mr. MePherSon, ap-
pointed. by the County Council df Lamb -
ton, and Mr. G-. E. Cresswell, appoint-
ed by the County Council of Huron, met
at the Court House, Goderich, to arbi-
trate on the disputebetween the two
counties on the question of the bound-
ary bridge at Grand Bend. They sat
all day, and failing to come to an agree -
Ment in the choice of a third arbitrator,
separated.. The matter is, thus left in
statu quo, and until the Lieut. -Governor
appoints a third. person, which we be-
lieve is the legal way out of the difficul-
ty, it will remain so.
—The Blyth Record says: We regret
to learn that the Rev. Mr. Davis,'of
,
Wingbana, has, at the recommendation
of his physicians, been neces4tated to
abstain from the performance of I his
duties as minister of, the 'Church of
England. From what we can learh it
is not probable that the ieverend gen-
tleroan will be able to resume his duties
for some time, if at all. The Many
friends of Mr. Davis will deeply regret
the visitation of Providence, which has
compelled so old. and energetic' a min-
ister of God's word to withdraw from
labor in the fold.
