The crowds which daily attend this sale proves the assertion. If the stock had j been purchased in the re- gulanway they could not do so, but the fact that It has been purchased at a very low ,rate in the dollar, enables them to give the public the bargains they are getting.

FORESTRY.—The High Court of the Canadian Order of Foresters met in session last week in Toronto. The gathering was one of the largest and best annual meetings ever held in Can- ada, and we are glad to learn that this excellent order is flourishing, and its membership rapidly increasing. The jurisdiction of - the order covers 75 courts with a membership of about two thousand. in Canada alone, and the en- dowment fund on hand has accumulat- ed to over 83000.,, The session lasted or four days, and the proceedins°s,•were most harmonious, and a great deal of busiuess calculated to advance the in- terests of the order transacted. Mr. R.N. Brett represented Seaforth, Messrs. Robb and Shepherd, Clinton; and. D. Stewart, Bluevale, aud besides this the following towns in the county were represented : Goderich, Exeter, Brus- sels, Wingliam, Belgrave and other places. We are glad to learn that the lodge in this town is doing well, and is increasing in membership as rapidly as can be done with safety. RETuItNED.—Mr. Dalgetty, of McKillop, returned from Dakota last Monday. He had been gone about three weeks. He was much pleased with the country and took up 320 acres in. the New Buffalo settlement. He does not intend leaving McKillop, how- ever, for a while at any rate. He brought home with him a sample of sienna wheat grown on the farm of Mr. Wm. Ray, near Fargo. The stalks are about three feet in length and very strong -and healthy looking, and Mr. Dalgetty assures us that the grain is glowing as thick as it cen stand. The heads, however, are short, and the wheat does not appear to be of such a good quality, nor would it yield as natrich as that grown here. Mr. Ray has a three hundred acre field of wheat the same as the sample referred to. Upon the whole, Mr. Dalgetty thinks very highly of the country, and he says that in. many places the older settlers are ,getting up good buildings and are making their surrouudings look very comfortable. Oarrueee.—Another pioneer, in the person of Mrs. Mary McClure, widow of ?he late J'oleta McClure, Sr., of McKil- lop, died at the residence of her daugh- ter, Mrs. Graham, on Tuesday morning last. Mrs. McClure was a native of County faonegal, Ireland, and came to this country with her husband over 50 yeaas ago. They first settlad in the county of Grenaille, where they resided for several years. Thirty-four years ago they removed to McKillop and set- tled on the 4th concession, and here beth Mr. and Mrs. McClure spent the remainder of their lives. When they came here the whole country was one vast wilderness, and they were both spEered to see it transformed into one cf the most beautiful and fertile see- tiens in the Province, and their own 1 THE DIVISION COURT. the Division Court Wednesday, Mr. Male ich, presiding.

THE NEW CHURCEf. — Workmen are dw busily engaged at the new church nilding on the Thames Road. The tonework of the basement is com- plete& and the building of the brick walls is being pushed forward rapidly. The site is a beautiful one, and the edi- nee when completed will not only be a credit to the congregation, but an orna- ment to the township. 1THE CnoPs.—Farrners are now busy with their haying. This crop, although n the light side, will give a fair average yield. Spring crops of all kinds are Well advanced and give good promise. The fall wheat will not be so good as at year, but this crop in this township j 11 not be a failure by any means, as it,is in some of the neighboring town - hips. There are many good. fields, and he entire crop in the southeast part of lie township will give a good yield. The recent hail storm did some damage io the west part of the township. There is a strip of about a mile in width Where the devastating effects are quite visible, some of the ferneere having lost early their entire crop. Whalen. .
