school house here, on Saturday next,
the 151h inst., at. half -pat 1 o'clock.
An interesting Med instructive pro-
gramme will be presented. All are cor-
dially iuvited to be present.

sonic Hall, ou Friday evening last, the

PROPERTY SoLea-At the sale under
the direction of the executors of the
estate of the late R. A. Hays, the hotel
property m Seaforth, at present occu-
pied by Mr. Carroll, was purchased by
Air. John. McClure, of McKillop, for
13,360. The farm rn Morris, being 100
acres on the 3rd concession, was pur-
chased by Mr. Robert Scott, of Rox-
boro, for ad,3,000. Both properties were
sold cheap.
SEAFORTII CHEESE FACTORY. - As
-will be seen by notice. elsewhere, a
meeting of the patrons of the Seaforth
ch,eese factory will be held at the town
hall, on, Thursday, November 27,for the
purpose of receiving a Aatenaent of last
season's business, and making arrange-
ments for the coming season. It is
hoped that as many as possible of those
interested in the factory will make it a
point to be present.
WHAT NEXT. -The followine para-
graph. is going the rounds of the press:
Mr Daniel Moran, a reformed Roman
" Catholic, well known in Huron, de-
" livered a lecture at Hardwich, on No-
vember 4th, in Albion Hall, on the
" errors, assumptioes, enormities, ira-
" purities, novelties and innovations of
" the Romish Church, before an intel-
" ligenst and appreciative audience." It
must have beeu a very ," intelligent"
4 audience, indeed, that appreciated
DEW'S lubrications. It is astonishing
how people do like to be gulled and im-
posed on by frauds and imposters, of
whom Viz, in his role of anti -Papist
leeturer, is not the least.
PERiONAL.-We understand that Mr.
R Runciman, who was for several years
manager of the Goderich Foundry and
Tilanufacturing Company, has &aided
to locate in Seafcrth, with the intention
of giving his personal atteution and
supervision to the foundry business here,
whiele has for some time been carried
on -under the management of his son.
We have much pleasnre in welconairig
M.r. Runciman to our town. He is a
first-class meehanic, and is in addition
&pushing, energetic business man, and
we have no doubt bat under his man-
agement the Huron Foundry will soon
make a name for itself and gain an en-
viable reputation.
-Rev. Thomas Goldsmith, formerly
pastor of the Presbyterian church here,
and HOW pastor of John street Presby-
terian church, Hamilton, paid Seaforth
a Visit tine week. The Reverend gen-
tleman received a warm and- hsearty
welcome from his m.any friends here, all
of whom, were gia.d to see him looking as
fresh and vigorous as of yore.
-Rev. J. A. Smith, of Guelph will
preach in. the Presbyteriau church, in
this town, on .Sunday next, morning
and, evening. He exchanges pulpits on
that day with Rev. Mr. McDonald.

ANtITHER. FIRE. -The old adage that
misfortunes seldom come singly, is be-
ing verified in the case bf Messrs. Cole-
man & Gouitalock, of this town. A 'few
weeks ago they had a couple of their
salt blocks destroyed by fire, and .on
Wednesday everdmg last their premises
were again visited by the fiery fiend.
This time it is their cooper shop that
haa fellen prey to the devouring ele-
ment. Abont 9 o'clock the usual quiet
of the town was broken by the alarm of
fire. The citizens speedily issued from
their abodes, and the glare of light in-
dicated the location of the fire. When
first seen the fire had made considerable
heaths -ay, and, the building beiug of
Tight. Ma -Minable material it was
speedily enveloped in flames, and. no ex-
ertion could save it. The firemen, were
promptly on haud with the engiuo, aud
dicl geed weak so long as their supply of
water lasted. A couple of sheds, filled
with staves, alongside and east of the
burning latildiug, caught fire several
time, but were saved through the
praiseworthy exertions of the firemen,
who worked nobly until their water
supply gave out. But by this time the
fire had pretty much burned itself out,
and all immediate danger of its spread-
ing was past. The wind was blowing
etropely from the west, and away from
the sum -um -hug buildings. Had the
wind been blowing from the south or
north, it would have been very difficult
to have saved the saw mill on the one
side or the salt works ou the other. The
building destroyed was not a very vein-
al(' caw. and the less will not be very
heave . The cempany will, however, be
somewhat inconvenienced, as they will
have to procure another building in
which to carry on operations until they
can erect one to replace that destroyed.
The loss on building and. contents will

THn GRAIN BUSINESS;--G"Faill buyers
here have bought more than their usual
share this year, and if their storage
room had been larger and railway ac-
commodation better, they would have
bought more. Messrs. Clemmie, of
Listowel, and Messer, of Blnevale, were
paying one to two cents more than in
the neighboring villages.
STEAM TIIRESUER.-MOSSTS. Wm. F.
and R. King, having purchased a new
steam engine and thresher, complete,
costing over $1,000, from Mr. Abell, of
Woodbridge, the work they are doing
so far proves to the farmers conclusive-
ly that the steam thresher is cheap-
er and. better than the old system:

VOTERS' LISTS CORRECTIONS. -At the
court held in this township for the re-
vising and correcting of the voters' list,
there were very few changes made.
"Three names, viz., George Lapson,
Caleb Ryan end Philip Appel were
added, and a few mis-spelled names
corrected. i
Corson. -At the last meeting of the
Council, the principal business was the
auditing and, passing of accounts, of
which there- were a good number.
Councillors Ryan and Baker were ap-
pointed a deputation to wait upon Mc-
Gillivray Council, to arrange about the
continuation of a drain. Mr. T. Mol -
lard, pathinaster, was instructed to see
to the removal of a building now being'
erected on a.0 original road allowance-
: in his district. Council will again meet
on the first Monday in December.
DEBATE. -A meeting of Welton De-
- bating Society was held in Smith's
Hall on the evening of November 4th,
for the purposerof debating on the sub-
ject "Has gunpowder been a benefit
to male?" Messrs. WM. Srhillie, J.
McMillan, C. Dickson and L. McMillan
spoke ou the negative, and Messrs.
Robt. Henderson, 3. Fulton, A. Mor-
rison and D. Johnston on the affirma-
tive, and won the battle. The question
was fairly discussed on both sides, but
happily the gunpowder did not explode,
although a good deal ef fiery material
was necessary to keep warm in a hall
without a fire on such a cold evening.
The subject for next debate is, "Which
has done the most good to man, the
printing press or the steam engine."
Mr. L. McMillan (leader), with A.Mer-
'risen, D. Johnston, C: Dickson and S.
McKibbon as supporters, take the
S printing press, and Mr. J. Fulton
(leader), with 3. McMillan, R. Render-
s son, Wm. Smillie and. Jas. Murray as
supporters, take the steam engine. Ad-
journed to meet next Tuesday evening
at 7 o'clock, sharp.

which has been in the pound. foh several
days, was sold by public auction on

ton has sold his farra of 50 acres to Mr.
McDougall, of the boundary line, and
has since bought a farm of 100 'acres

ACCIDEN2.-While a son of I. Bower-
man, of the boundary line, was running
through the barnyard a fe A' days ago,
he slipped on the end of a stick, when
the other end flew up and struck him
on the knee, which laid him up or
several days. He is now able to walk
about by the aid of a crutch.

ORANGE DEMONSTRAVON.- On Wed-
spesday of last week the Orangemen of
Hills Green and Chiselhurst met here
to celebrate the Fifth. They assem-
bled at the Mansion Hotel for dinner,
and in the afternoon formed in proces-
sion, and headed by fifes and drums,,
marched through the _principal streets,
making a very creditable display. At
• the conclusion of the procession, they
listened to a most earnest and able ad-
dress. delivered by Rev. Mr. Cameron,
of Kippen. The reverend gentleman
was listened to mast attentively, and
his address was well received by all
who heard him: Early in the evening
the members of the lodges left for their
respective homes, having conducted
themselves in a most orderly and
creditable manner while here.

Seldom a meeting passes but there are
one or more initiations and proposi-
tions for membership. • May the good
work flourish.'
HALLOWEEN PP.ANKS,-Soine of our
fast youths amused themselves on Hal-
loween night by perpetrating a number
of not overly smart prauks. We must
give thein credit, however, for "coming
it sharp" ou one of our prominent mer-
chants. He had. decided that the boys
would not have any fun at his expense,
so he sat up and watched round to see
that his sign or -other property was not
"ca. Wnile thus tchinq, one of
boys en "4aged in a co versation with

his earnest and eloquent comp nion.
However, he seemed to appreciate the
joke, and good-naturedly offered t "set
it up" for the boys, but they did not ac-
cept the invitation, as they feared he
intended to fool them as they had fool-
ed 'him. -Our boys are sharp.

quaintances, to mourn her loss. - She
was highly respected by all who knew
her, being a good living, kind, industri-
ous woman. The funeral, which took
place on Tuesday morning, was largely
attended, and proceeded to Trishtown
Church, where High Mass was eele-
brated by Rev. Dean Murphy, assisted
by Rev. Father Cumrnings. From the
church the funeral ptession proceeded
to the place of buria , accompanied by
Rev. Father West. Owing to the heavy
rain and disagreeable weather, many
who, under other eircumstances, would
have been presentewere kept at home
but as it was there were about 106
vehicles in attendance. We all share
our sympathy with bereaved hus-
band. -COM.
RAFFLE AND PARTY. -One of the most
pleasant gatherings that ever took place
in this township occurred at the resi-
dence of Joseph Nigh, Esq., on the 2nd
concession, near the town line between
Tuckersmith and Hibbert, on Tuesday
last, the occasion being the raffling of a
span of horses; but of 'course mine host
and his worthy lady would not think of
having a gathering without entertain-
ing tam in their usual hospitable man-
ner. Besides the influence of the
juvenile members of, the famidy was
brought to bear, and the consequence
was a very large attendance, such as
one seldom Bees in a private residence.
Seaforth, Dublin, Houma, McKillop,
and Hibbert were represented. Old
and young enjoyed themselves to their
hearts' content. Refreshments were
furnished in abundance. There were
over two hundred present, and were it
not for the unfavorable state of the
weather, the number would have been
much larger. Mr. William Devereaux,
Tuckersmith, won the horses. Dancing
was kept up until the "wee, sma' hours
ayont the twal," when the party broke
up,•"happy to meet, sorry to part, and
soon to meet again."

SINGING CLASS.- ,rof• Salter, of Clin-
ton, intends to establish a singing school
in the village. We expect he will be
successful, as there is sufficient material
here to form a good class.
A REDUCTION OF AIR WRONG KIND. -
At this village, saw mill wages have been
recently reduced to the figure from
which they were advanced in the spring.
For instance, men who were obtaining
$1 per day, are now o be paid eighty
cents. This showi how things are
"humming." •
PERSONAL. -Mr. Di. J. McCasey ani
gang have lately returned from the
vicinity of Teeswater, after finishing the
various buildings which they have erect-
ed this season. Mr. McCasey has had
a large number of men employed during
the season.in carpentering and fram-
ing, and has met with the utmost suc-
cess.
Snow STORM.-Suow fell last week to
the depth of about seven inches, when.
on Thursday it finelly passed away.
This storm frighteued the farmers and
gave them warning fp get up their root
crop, which they are busily engaged
with at present. -Turnips, carrots,beets,
mangolds, 'dec., nevezj were much better
than they are this y ar.
ENTERTAINMENTS. As the summer
has passed and the Isvinter draws near,
the nights are getting long and dreary
without some pleasurable entertain-
ment, the young folks of this village are
desirous of organizing e debating school,
which would, no doubt, work advan-
tageously, as there are a great many in
this section who are pretty free and
fluent with the tongue. Who will be
the first to move lathe matter?
4 WORRIED lE111 D;IGS.-111r. Alexander
Clark, near Sunshine, had his sheep
badly worried by degs last Thursday
evening. Two of them died. One of
the sheep was nearlk eaten up, and an-
other got its leg badly lacerated. -Mr.
Thomas Miller, whiese place adjoins
Mr. Clark's, had one sheep nearly torn
to pieces, and the floek badly frightened.
Some dogs deserve, 1-, shootine, but to

for Messrs. Clark an4l Miller to solve.

load of lumber and ran away, throwing
hini out of the wagon, and injuring him
somewhat. They also capsized the
wagon, breaking some new furniture
which Mr. Wilkinson was taking home.
The horses ultimately became freed
from the wagon, and ran until met by a
neighbor who stopped there. The wag-
on was badly wrecked and the horses
slightly injured.

for the erection of a new county, com-

county town either in Listowel, Pal-

according as the interests of the pro-
moters of each scheme dictate, a mass
meeting of the ratepayers of Howick
was called by the Reeve of Howick to
be held in the drill shed in Gorrie, on
the 4th of November, 1879, which re-
sulted in quite a number of the most
influential men in the township being
present and giving their most uuquali-
lied dissent to any scheme whatever
that would point in the most remote de-
gree to the separation of Howick from
old Huron. A committee composed of
.J. Keine, Reeve; B. S. Cook and David
Weir, Deputy Reeves, and Messrs.
Thos. Wilson and Robt. Gibson, were
unanimously appointed to wait on .the
Premier in regard to the -matter, and. in

lated. through the length and breadth
of the township, protesting against the
Governm nt touching Howick. The
ratepayer4 of Howick cannot see the

erection of new county buildings, for
the purpo e of providing a few needy
individhal in the above mentioned
towns +1t1 easy berths at their expense.
They -feel J perfectly satisfied to remain
as they a$.

-The Clinton Town Council at its
last meeting passed a by-law making it
imperative that all wood sold by the
load be subject to inspection and meas-
urement, for which three cents per load
will be charged. Contracts for delivery
of wood may be made without inspec-
tion, but when disputes arise in such
cases between buyer and seller, the in-
spector dean decide, being paid a small
fee for the same. The object of this
by-law is to prevent cheating and im-
position, which is frequently done by
some parties by selling a load for a
a cord, when it may be far from it, or
piling the *ood in the too common loose
manner.

-On Friday last, as a farmer nained.
Hogan, residing on the 12th eoncession
of Ashfield, was digging a ditch, two
and a half feet deep, on his farra, he
came upon a cpiantity of •copper ore.
He _excavated about 25 pounds and
brought it into Luclmow- It was ex-
amined by several gentlemen and. pro-
nounced to be copper. It is hard. to
tell how it got there, but it is supposed
to have been put there by Indians. It
is hardly probable that there is a vein
of the ore.
