We understand that- - this is the first distribution that •, has. been made in the Provinea for 1879. This speaks well for the promptitude' of the: Inspector in having his returnd all in to the Department so as to secure this early distribution. • CA.N A'S. ORATOR A,.1D HUXORIST.-7 Last .1. _ d y ' ' ,,, saw at no'fr Hall well filled, on the ! occasion of .a. - free lecture by Mr. J. B. Watson,. Canada's rising orator 1 and humorisC: The audience experienced im n a - occasion a treat which those du side the, large cities rarely enjoy. Fo about. two hours the speaker beld the large assembly all attention: while ' he ran• ': rapidly over the variety of character sketches in his brilliant galaxy entitled, , "Society Unmasked." All shades et characters, all classes of sooietv passed , . in review in the kaleideseope of the lecturer's vision. The grumbler, the genial, wh.ole-seuled character, Scotch-. man, the Irishmen, the backbiter, the slanderer, all received their notice aud reward. With these were interspersed brilliant society sketches of ladies and their little tendencies to "gossip and gush." ,The majority of the sketches were certainly comic, while mingling- here and there •were touches of deep pathos, and eloquence worthy the pen of Dickens himself. I No one who came but went awily fully assured that Canada has in Mr. J. B. Watson , a rising rival of some of the first humor- ists of the day. Mr. Watson will give • a second lecture, under the an pices of the Mechanics' Institute, this iPriclay) • evening. .All should go and he r him. rrefnembered by therliumerous friends whom he has left beli!.nd. The funeral took place on Menden, and was very largely attended. He -was buried in the cemetery at Harpurhey. Peo-Nic.-e-The farmers • of Tuckersmith intend having a grand.pic- nic in Payne's Grove, near Egmoind- 'ville on Tuesday the 24th inst. It is 1, ' intended to have it 0. genuine social gathering, and amusement and instruc- tion will be farnished, for both old an young. The site seleeted is one of t most beautiful spots in the county, easy of access, and is in every way a rairably adapted for the purpose inten ed. Should the weather prove favo able, we safely predict a most pleasa and enjoyable time. All, both del an young, should. be sure to attend an have a jelly good. time. The more t merrier. It would be, a good thing Buell social reunions , were more co mon, than they are. Addresses will delivered by A..: I3ishop, M. P. P., an others. There will also be music, r freshments and abundance of fun. , . CHANGE or TIME.—As will be seen b referring to our railwa.y.time table, change has, been in the runnin of trains on this section of the Gran Trunk. We have no,fault to find wit the change, except in so- far as it effec to the afternoon express frorn the Eas This is -the most important mail trai of the day. Under the old arrang ments it was timed to reach here abo 2 o'clook. Now, however, the time h been changed until ten minutes, aft three, and it is frequently near 4 o'eloc before it reaches here. This delay occasioned by the train on this bran() waiting for the express from Detroit o the main line. The mails from Toro to. arentherefore, delayed from two t three laours at ,Stratford. This is a imposition upon the public, which can not be tolerated. The Grand Trun Company are I liberally remunerate from the public treasury for conveyin the mid- the post office authori ties should see to it that those •mail are carried with due puncbuality. I may suit the:convenience of the Gram Trunk to allow the entire mail matte forithis section of the country to lie a a Way station for two or three hour each day, but it is, all the same, au ent- re-0e upon the public. We would direct the :attention of the Post Office Inepec- tor!for this section to this very absurd arrangement, and hope he will hav the grievance remedied with his usua p tromp itude. TH playing around the house. The atten- tion of the'sister was diverted for a few • minutes, when the child got up to a bucket which was filled with water and was playing in it. By some means it fell into Mit bucket head foremost, and was drowned. The feelings of the poor mother, on discovering her child' in this position, may be more easily im- agined than described. Every effort was made to resuscitate; it, but all in vain, life was extinct'. Parents cannot be too careful rabout leaving vessels con- taining ,water in such positions that small childree can get to them, as ac- cidents of this, character are not of un - frequent .occurrence. d LOCAL BRI IrS.—The' County Council. he is in seseion this week. The principal is business is the equalization of the . as- d- sessment.—A fine horse, used on °the d- Commercial bus had to be killed a few r- days ago. A rusty nail. penetrated ith nt foot, injuring the fetlock joint, causing d such severe inflammation and decay of d the joints as to render the foot entire - he ly useless. It became detached from if the leg, being only held on by a small m- piece of ekin. As there was no possi- be bility of recovering, he was humanely d. killed.—Mr. Holmested has added a e- second story to his residence in Harpur- hey, thereby materially improving its appearance, and making it much more y coramodiens and comfortable. When a completed it will be one of the hand - g somest private residences in town.— d Miss Maggie Logan, who has been is- le siding with her brother in Manitoba, for ts the last year returned home on Tuesday t. last.—Mr. James Stoddard, of Egmond- n ville, has shown vs a sample of .elover e- grown in his garden which has attained ut the great length of three feet eleven as inches.—Mr. John Cameron, of the er Mill Road, Tuekersmith, informs us k that he has a field of barley which is is nicely headed out, and which now av- d erages four feet in length.

The Messrs, k Thomson intend going into the mai- d --ing business in that city on a large g scale: The removal of this establish- - ment from town will be a very great s loss, which -can scarcely be made up t even by the National Policy.—The town d clock has been stopped, and Mr. Cardno r intends having it taken down and re-' t turned to the manufa,cturers at once. s We would again ask our towns_ authori- ties to make an effort to arrange mat- ters with Mr. Cardno so the town will not suffer the disgrace of haying the clock removed.—There was a frost on e Tuesday night, but it did. not do much 1 damage.—Fall wheat in this vicinity is nearly all headed out, and. in most places it leeks well.—The lecture on Tuesday evening, by Rev. Solomon Pc - tier Hale, Was, we are sorry to say, a SRATORT'll TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. — Kr: Editor,—Sir: It is with grea pleasure I announce to you and the sur rounding teachers that our local Insti- tate is, every meeting, growing larger, more interesting and more beneficial to the teachers 'in the neighberhood of Seaforth. When I first became a mem- ber of the Institute it was rather barely attended, only five or six teachers being present. On Seturday last we had an attendance close on twenty, who were entertained with an excellent pro- gramme. Mr. Hartley took up the analytic method of teaching Simple In- terest, showing very plainlY that he was master of the subject. He then went on with Compound Interest, giv- ing a short Method on working that long rule, giving entirennatisfaction. to the members present. Mr. Fields, �f. the High School, then followed, taking English Literature, 1V.filten'n times„ giving -an excellent address. He kept the Institute -highly entertained_ for about three-quarters .of an hour, bring- ing in a great number of humorous an- ecdotes to illustrate the times. His address was highly instructive, andevas well appreciated by those present. An interesting programme was then ar- ranged for the • next meeting. Mr. Samuel Hicks, of Tuckersinith; takes up the Lever, and Mr. Clarkson, of Seaforth High School, ta,kee up the principles of pronouneiation of the Latin Roots. Miss Anderson, of Sea - forth, and Miss Broadfoot, (4 Tucker - smith, have consented to give readings; the whole to be followed by a duet by Miss Broadfoot and Mr. S. Hicks. Hoping I have not encroached on. your space and that our Institute may still continue to groW. E. S. Hoe-eres,Secre- tary, ACCIDENTS.—The • horses, not only hereabouts, but in ell parts of the coun- try, seem to have become possessed with some evil spirit. It is almost impossi- ble to take up a , paper that does :not contain account of accidents occa- sioned by horses running away, or bolt- ing. It is to be hoped tleat the mania, m&nia it be, will soon= end, as if it do not, this formerly faithful and useful animal will fall into disrepute, and peo- ple will be forced to return to the primi- tive and more safe method of locomo- tion, "Shank's ponied." Onlgatueday last, as Mr. Ewing's boy was elivering meat, he left the team in charge of a young lad, a son of Mr. Hugh Pringle, while be carried the meat into the house.No sooner had he left the wag- on, than the horses were frightened by a kite which some boys were flying near • by, and dashed off. They ran the wag-. on against a post, throwing the lad out, and fracturing one of his arms. They were secured without doing much fur- ther damage. On the same day Dr. Scott bad a narrow escape from severe iujury. • He was going to Roxboro on a professional visit. After turning on the concession at Lapslie's corner, and when near the long pile of wood which is there on the side of the road, he met a man driving a cow with its head. tied down. The horse became frightened at this, and eommenced backing up. ,The doc- tor applied the whip, when the animal bounded forward, and in passing- be- tweei,i the wood pile and a wagon which was standing on the side of the road, the front wheel of the buggy got caught in the wagon, bringing things to a sudden crisis. The doctor was thrown forwaag handing in front of the horse, and a f low -passenger was also thrown out wit • groat violence. Fortunately, howeve neither of the gentlemen were injure beyond a few bruises and scratche The horse got freed from the bile and made for home, but was not rauc injured. • • —Another very' melancholy accide t occurred on Tuesday, by which a ahil about 18 months of age, daughter f Mr. Dowling, an employee in the fou dry, lost her life. She was left in char:s of another little girl, a sister, and w s failure, and as a lecturer Mr. 'Hale is a fraud, although he seems to be a well-meaning old gentlemain,and is evidently very much in earnest. The subject upon which he spoke, however, is entirely beyond .his comprehension, and he only succeeds in burlesquing and bringingridicule upon a very serioue and important subject. Had he adhered to the theme origivally chosen, "The British Empire,' instead of taking "Future Punishment," he might at least have amused •his audience. As it was, he simply disgusted those who have any reverence for Scriptural teachings and doctrines. We make these _ remarks eo that others may not he induced, •as we were, by flat- tering testimonials and newspaper re- ports, to commend him to the public.- -Quite a number of our citizens intend going on the Masonic excursion from Goderich to Port Huron, on Tuesday. They will have a pleasant trip down the lake, and will receive a right royal reception from the brethren of Port Huron, on their arrival at that place. —Mr. John Canavan has purchased from Mr. R. N.

In many places it is torn up, and loose planks abound. every few rods. It is just possible proper action may be neg- lected. too long.—Quite a number of grown-up people were put through the ordinance of baptism in St. Thomas' Church, last Sabbath:—Two young men were cited before the Mayor and subjected to a fine and. costs, • for firing revolvers in Beattie's grove last Sunday. There wasn't much fun in that. OBITUARY.—We stated last w ek that Mr. John Grieve, of McKillop, was in a very low atate of health, and that his recovery was not looked for. Cu Sab- bath morning last he passed away.' HQ was just 26 years , of age. About ln months ago he contracted b. severe cold:, which settled upon his lungs, and ulti- mately caused his death. He had been confined to bed for several months, and, although he never suffered very severe- ly, he was wasted almost to a skeleton. He bore his long and tedious illness without a murmur, and seemed perfect- ly nesigned to his fate. He left home when quite a lad, and learned the mer- • cantile business -with Messrs. Logan & Jamieson, of this town. : He continued in the employ of that firm until iits die - solution,' and afterwards remained with Mr. Jamieson until his health became so- much impaired. as to compel him to abandon. all ;work. He sought by re-. lexation to repair his health, but all in vain, the seeds of the disease became firmly rooted, and nothing ebuld stay its progress.

Clandeboye contains three stores, kept by John Flanagan, H. Johnson' and M. Commander, and all seem to do a flourishing business. This place was for over - 40 -years called Flanagan's Corners, in honor of the founder, Mr, Patrick Flanagan, a whole-souled Irish- man, possessed of an inexhaustible fund of wit and humor, renowned for his hospitality and genial manners. I Al- though dead for a number of yeari, his name is still as familiar in the meuths of the people of thin section as " hbuse- hold words," and anecdotes charapter- istic of him are as current to -day as they were' ten years ago. Famous among them are his controversy with his hostler in the matter of back -logs, and his method of procuring a bed at an overcrowded. hotel. Mr. Flanagan had built a brick hotel, with an unusually wide fire -place. At that time immense roaring fires were in order, and the put- ting in of the "back -log" each evening was quite a ceremony. Mr. Flanagan's hostler invariably persisted in cutting it too long, and great injury was inflict- ed on the chimney by forcing it in. This exasperated the proprietor beyond measure, and he bitterly denounced. the hostler for his persistency in cutting the log too long. The hostler, a fellow- coemeryman, no doubt, retorted that it was not the fault of the log, but of the chimney, which was too narrow. "Out of my sight, you scoundrel," replied Air, Flanagan, "if I was to build a ch:inteneY from this to London, you would. cnt a back -log that would reach to St. Thomas." Mr. Flanagan represented the fine township of McGillivray as Reeve in the County Council for a limn- JUNE 20, r Walton—Wm. Baugh. Seaforth-.44 Graham. St. Marys—Satauel D.
