-VOTE Poserdeeme—Owing to a slight
informality in the water works by-law,
as previously published, it has been cor-
rected this week, and in order that the
corrected by-law may have the requi-
site number of insertions it is necessary
to postpone the day of voting. As will
be seen by the corrected by-law, the
vote will now be taken on Monday, the
6th of October, instead of as formerly
stated. This delay wiil not affect any
interest, but will, on the contrary give
the ratepayers the longer time to con-
sider the matter, and to make up their
minda as to the advisability of incur-
ring the debt.

OUR. GRAIN MARKET.—Mr. Editor—
A false report has been circulated
. among the farmers, to the effect that
the ;Seaforth grain buyers have no
money to purchase grain with. I wish
to correct this false rumor, as it has
: been circulated for the purpose of turn-
ing trade from our town. I believe we
have had as much grain as any of our
• neighboring towns, and every bushel
offered has been bon ht and. paid at•
ahead of the pleoes which circu-
late the report; aaiclealthough we are
sometimes mconvenieneed for cash, we
are determined that 'the farmer will
still find that Seater* will continue to
uphold its reputation for fair dealing,
and its buyers will pay the highest
price for everything Is hidh comes into°
the MU ket.--,TAYIES BEATTIE, Grain
Buyer.
BUStN.ZESS.: Basine s. in . town has

is a subjeet of general remark by all
strangers who visit Seaforth. 'Of course
such large and wellselected stocks draw
customers frora far and near, and it is
to this faet in no small degree that the
. continued prosperity of Seaforth is due. 1
Our business streets are again begin- .
ning to resume • their wonted appear-
ance, and are cenamencing to be daily
filled with sellers and • buyers, all •
anxious to get the highest price for their
products, and the best value for their

Kase Them Op.—We understand
that the Directors of the Agricitltural
Society have very wisely deterreined
not to allow any petty show men or
, .mountebienks upon their grounds dUring
the days of the show here on Thursday
and. Friday next. There seems to be
an unusual number of these vagabonds
• peregrinating through the country this
season. There was a score of them at
Clinton the other day, and each seemed
• to attract a crowd, of victim.s. There '
will, no doubt, be numbers of them -
making apphcation to our town author-
ities to be allowed to carry on their
chiselling occupations on our streets.
We hope that the an thorities will
set themselves firmly against- anything
of the kind, and, that the town con-
stable -will have instructions to drive
off every one who may attempt to take
his stand upon the public streets. In a,
crowd of people, such as will be in.
Lown on Friday next, there are always
many who patronise these sharpers,
and who get fleeced accordingly, and. it
is the duty of the town authorities, as
far as they can, to protect any who may -
visit us from being victimized. Let
there be no. quarter shown these fel-
• lows, who fatten upon the gullibility
and simplicity of the public.

Low, Baiees.—The job of removing
the old monse building on the Presby-
terian church property to make room
for the new building, has been awarded
to Mr. Tyerman.—Most of the factories
in this county have sold their August
and September makes of cheese to Mr.
Ballantyne, receiving 6 cents per pound
for the former and 7 cents for the latter.
—The agricultural show to be held here
on Thursday and Friday next, prom-
ises to be the best ever held in the.
county. Parties desiring to ehibit
should endeavor to make their eutides
with Mr: Cresswell, the secretary, as
soon as possible.—Rev. Mr. Ble„egin, for-
merly of Seaforth and now of Mount
• Forest, was in town .duriug the past
week. We were glad to see the rever-
end gentleman looking so well.—Nes.
Charles and John Wilson, and M. Men -
roe, of this town, are now in Ottawa f

minion °Rifle Association. We hope, , e
they may be as successful at Ottawa as'. c
they were at Toronto.—Mr. Grassie's , h
auction sate of Wagons and carriages on 1 v
Saturday last was pretty well attended, I e
but there was not a great deal of stock', a

served attention.—The rainy season
seems to have set in earlier this season
than usnal. 'During thepast week there
has been an immense rain fall, and the
ground. is now thoroughly - saturated
with moisture.—The show season has
now opened. Prize lists will be in order
for a few weeks. -We congratulate our
reader e on the interesting reading mat-
ter in. store for them.
Douses IN COUNCIL.—At the meeting
of the' Town Council, held on Monday
evening, the principal business was the
considering and passing the estimates
of the l receipts and. expenditure, and
fixing the rate of taxation. The esti-
mated expenditure for the year is as
follows: Sinking fund, $650 ; interest
con ons, $560 ; printing account, ,$1.20 r
stre, ts, sidewalks and drains, $2,900 ;
t
fire and water department, $200 ;
salaries, $888; public school, $2,200;
High School, $500; charity, $150 ;
county rate, $735 ; balance due Treas-
urer of 1878,4681 : sundries, $500,mak-
ing a total- estimated expenditure of
$10,084.52. To make up this amount
the rate of assessment will be 15 mills
on the dollar, which., on the asseesed
value of - the town, viral raise $8,587;
this, with other receiPts, will make th
total receipts $10,542. It will thus b
seen that the estimates provide for
balance of $457 in the treasury at th
end of the year. It is not likely, how
e'ver, that this hope will be realized, a
the actual expenditure is almost ce
tain to exceed. the estimated. How
ever, considering the state of th
fina,nces at the commencement of th
year, and the extent and character
the improvements naade, if ,the Counc
succeed in making the expenses balanc
the income without increasing the rat
of taxation, they will do very well. Th
report of the Finance Committee, from -
which the above figures are gleaned,
was adopted, and after passing a couple
of accounts, the bouncil adjourned for
two weeks.

some 65 feet deep to finish digging, an
when within about six feet of the bot
tom he was suffocated and fell out o
the bucket. The men on the top find
ing the bucket empty, drew it to th
surface at once, and. another man go
in and lashed himself to the rope, bu
he only descended about 40 feet whe
he shouted to pull up, and when he wa
taken from the bucket he was quite in
sensible and did not recover for thre
hours. By some means or other th
bucket fell from the top of the well,
breaking Mr. John's leg, ' but it is
thought he was dead before it struck
him. They -had to get long rods and
attach grappling irons before' he could.

LOCAL Ips.—Mr. Deets left a cou-
ple of peaches in the post- office the
other night, the united weight of which
was 10 os. Who can beat this? No
place like the lake shore for fruit. --
Messrs. Ssaillie & Clark have already
shipped 540 crates of plums, peaches
and pears. This looks like business,•
and makes outsiders feel there is such a
place as Blake. Of the merits of such
enterprise we need not speak, as indus-
try always meets with its own- reward,
and is the motive power of great achieve
ments.—Mr. Agnew has erected a fi
e stable to protect his steed from the

4th concession of Morris, one day re-
cently while attending a threshing ma-
chine in this section, and being engaged
in cutting bands, the grain being damp

a perilous pre carnen , e askedis

its solidity. The boy ascended the tree

it gave way, and the boy landed on terra
" firma with a terrible crash, which frac-
• tured, his arna;,badls. Under medical
s care he is recovering as rapidly as the
injury will permit.

• FROST.—Jacic Prost paid us a, hearty
visit lately, covering the water with ic
and making us think of overcoats and
mittens again.
HARVEST/NG. —The grain in this vi
cinity is nearly all harvested. A few
fields of late oats still remain in th
shock. Coarse grain is an abandon
crop, while spring wheat is not above
the average.
FALT4 Willem—Farmers are busily
engaged at sowing -their fall wheat
Some fields that were sown the first o
the naonth are looking quite green and
promising. Never before' was there a
greater extent sown. It is not at all 'a
rare thing to see fifteen or twenty acres
on one farm,.

chased 200 acres of land from Mr. Robt.
den, on the 15th cdncession of the
same township, for $5,000.
THE WEATI161.—The. weather in this

been very wet and cold, interfering sad-
ly both with harvesting operations and
also with the putting in of the fall
wheat.
PEBSONAL.—Mr. T:Ya,n Every Dick-

pointed Official Law Reporter to the

- SOMETHING or A BULL.—Mr. George
Moffatt, of Morrisbank, recently sold
his thoroughbred Durham bull to Mr.
Mooney, of Clinton, for the modest sum
of tour cents per pound, but the anima,1
only weighed 2,170 pounds. Friend
Geordie never feeds his beasts anything
exeept just what they can pick up about
the -yard and what the callants gie
them. This accounts for theabove
critter weighing so light. Mr. Moffat
visited the Model Farm stock sale last
week, but could not find anything to
suit hith.
VIRTITODS PEOPLE..— The Toronto,
Grey and Bruce railway company ad-
vertised excursion tickets , to Toronto
and back at $2 for the rouna trip, good
to return on Saturday, 20th September.
Some of our citizens when they arrived
at the station Wednesday were told
calmly but finnly that the arrange-
ments:only held good for Monday and
Tuesday, as per advertisement, and that
they would have to pay $3.25 or stay
at home. Well, they didn't, swear, be-
cause they -don't do such things, but
every one of them saw plainly where
the swear should. come in.
• ENTEltnnISINO.—Messr6. Forsyth &
Son, of the Wroxeter woollen mills,
have just added a fine new spinning
jack to the already large quantity of
machinery in their mills-. The ma-
chine was procured in the United.
States and is of the most improved pat-
tern, they • being determined to keep
pace with -their rapidly inereasin a busi-
ness. But in connection with the above
there hangs a tale. Messrs. Forsyth &
Sons have paid for that machine just
$93 more than they would have clone
had it been purchased before the N. P.
came in force. They were forced to go
to the United States fer it, as that kind.
of machinery is not made in Canada,
and when it arrived at Guelph they
were notified that there were $90 duty
on it. They ,forwarded the amount
along with their invoice to the customs
authorities there, but unfortunately for
them, they pay cash -for what they get,
fondly imagining that it pays bettor
than buying on long'credit, but the N.
P. has shown them that that is an ex-
ploded idea, as upon the arrival of the
tnachine at Brussels a further charge
was made for duty of $3, that being the
difference of the duty on the cash and
credit prices of the article. Splendid
inducement for people to come down to
a solid cash basis.

DASTARDLY.—ome contemptible ras-
cal carved up a couple pair of boots in
front of Mr. B. McKinnon's store, en
Wednesday evening of last week. The
uppers were cut through and the bot-
toms hacked. and gashed. The boots
were in a case at the front of the store.
Mac would cheerfully give $10 to find
out who did it, and we hope he may
• catch and punish the wretch.
ACCIDENT.—Mrs. James Dick, of Mor-
ris, sustained a very painful accident on
Saturday last. .She was being convey-
ed home by a couple of young lads, sons
of Mr. Robert B. Laidlaw, who were
driving their father's team. The ani-
mals being spirited, became frightened
at a buffalo robe upon meeting another
team, but they were quieted until they
got to the entrance of the lane leading
to Mr. Laidlaw's residence. One of the
lads then got out, thinking he ceuld bet-
ter manatee the horses by taking them
by the heads, but they broke away,
dashed down the elane, upset the rig,
and pitched Mrs. Dicks upon a pile of
himber. Fortunately, no bones were
broken, but the bruises were remarkably
severe, so much so that the services
of DT. Carder were called into req-uisi-
tion.

demolish one of them the other day, by
shieing a:two pound stone at it with
the velocity of a cannon ball. The
stone missed the dog, but it didn't miss
the window of the Montreal Telegraph
office, very much to the disgust of that
landlord. He hasn't thrown but one
stone at a dog since, and then he rose
out of his bed. very late at night, in dis-
habille, and pitched it gently.
WooD.—Mr. Win. Way is pushing the
wood business with energy. He has
contracted to deliver 3,000 cords, part
in London and part in Hamiltoncon or
tefore the 15th of February, and is now
shipping it at the rate of 10 t3 15 cars
per week. He lately let a contract for
chopping 25 acres, and also has a num-
ber of men chopping by the cord. He
is daily in receipt of applications from
choppers for work, all of them remark-
ing that they saw Ms advertisement in
the Seaforth-Exrosiron. It verifies the
fact that advantageous advertising re-
quires the selection of the proper jour-
nal. Mr. Way is an energetic business
man and deserves success.
