SAAVORTH MieSwIANS.—The Stratford Beacon of last'-aveek says: As rear- ranged the cantata of Belshazzar's Feast on Wednesday evening proved an improvement on the first represent- ation, and those who again heard it were astonished at the perfection that bad been attained in the face of the Jimmy difficulties that had to be en- sountered. Miss Maggie Foster, of Beaforth., and Miss Wells, of Waterloo, infused considerable energy and good taste into the leading parts, as did also Mr. George W. Cline, of Hamilton, who enacted the role of Daniel. The cher- *Sea kept well together, and the general effect of the performance was decidedly pleasing. WO or uld not .

The sp gotten up in Mr. Carroll's be d was ;duly appreciated by patty, vthich comprised. about Omen. The ()hair was 000 Grieve, Charles Little, Henry ,Gal- braith, Hiram Hann h, John,Morrison, and Norman Leslie, McHillop ; George H. Morrison, Wel on ; John Rynn, James Cllark, Adam Rinn and family, James Wilson and m. Dunlop, Hul- lett; J. B. Anderslore Owen Sound. This train was under the direction of Mr. T. Ford, travelling agent • for the Grand Trunk, and Mr. G. De ws, of the Northern Pacific. There were three passenger coaches, and all had abund- ance of room, and before Stratford was reached, all were coinfortably located in their respective seats. Barring the temporary sadness occasioned by leav- ing behind old friends and familiar scenes, they all seemed cheerful and hopeful, and we trust tbeir highest hopes and brighest anticipations will be more then realized. The train left Stratford about 12 o'clock, and it was expected the parties would get past the Custom authoriiiei at the lines before night, and if -all goes well the most of them will reach their destinatione, or at least as far as they can go by rail, by Saturday night. Most, if not all of those who Went with families, had been out before and had prepared homes for their reception. The greater number, however, were young men Who. go ont to work at various trades and csllings in the meantime, and if they are pleased with the country will take up land and make it their future home. Besides this train another was made nit at Clinton, composed of three passenger coaches and fourteen freight cars; and a third at Goderioh, containing two passenger and, ten freight cars. Each train was under separate management and will be run through separately. One advan- tage in going in this way, and which is muoh appreciated by those having stock and freight, both passengers and. freight go through in one train, and all reach their destination at the same time, 'so that at the journey's end there is no delay waiting until the freight comes along. AOGIDENTs.—On Monday last, Mr. John Harry, of Egaiondville, while working' in Mr. T. Kidd's salt works aocidentally slippedoff a plank on which Its was standing and fell into the {eoiling kine. Fortunately he got hold of the pan, and saved himself from being terribly 'melded. As it was he got his legs scalded severely, whioh will neces- sitate his remaining in the house for *boat a month.

Tait SALT WELL.—A meeting of the shareholders of our salt well was held in Reynold's Hall, on Monday after- noon, the 13th inst., at which there was a very fair attendance. The matter of disposing of the well, (which, by the way, has proved a white elephant in the hands of the committee,) was brought up and discussed, and after due deliberation the Committee, with the consent of the meeting, surrendered their interest in the same to Mr. 1 Wm. Blair, the owner of the land in Which the well is situated; thus Mr. s Moir becomes the possessor of the well he so little -expected to possess some{ few months ago,and thus have the sanguine expectations of those who believed they were going to realize a hand- some little premium or fortune on their shares,been doomed to disappointment. However, be this as it may, matters, as the old saying has it, are never so bad • as they might be, for the stockholders are yet to receive the neat little sum of 15 per cent., or, $1.50 per , share, the same being the amount due each share from the division of the surplus money obtained, and then they have the pleas- ing satisfaction of knowing there is an unlimited bed of salt underlying them, and that there is nothing like salt; and last, but not least, it is a satisfaction to know that the well remains in the hands of our respected townsman, Mr. Moir, who, we know, will be willing to dispose of it on the most reasonable terms, and to the hest advantage of the village and surrotinding country.
