This action was rendered necessary on ac- count of the heavy ledges whishhave taken plage since the former rate was fixed. This is a considerable inorease, but it it unavoidable, and even yet the rate will not be materially higher than is usually eharged by good stock cOm- paaies. In the Howiek- Company, which is conducted on the same prin- ciple as this one, the assessment this year is only 2i per cent. This corn - peaty has ltveen unusually fortunate this year, and the next year the goOd for- tune may`fall to the lot of our com- pany. HURON LT THE WESTERN. -We notice in the published list of successful com- petitors at the Western Fair,held in Lon- don, last week, the names of the follow.. lug exhibitors from Huron : -Hugh Love, Hills Green, 2d for yearling Ayrshire bull; E.

We also learn that Mr. Francis Cole- man, of ptanley, obtained a ,prize for a colt, and Some others whom we have heard mentioned as prize winners, but we cannot find their names in tile pub- lished list, and they have, prebably, been inadvertently omitted. It is al- most imPossible to get even a small prize list absolutely correct, and it is not at all surprising that errors and omissions should occur in the Bat of .a show like that at London. i DUNCAN ct DUNCAN'S GROCERY DEPART- MmiT. - We are now giving this department special attention. We have now on himd as fine a stook of teas as ever came into Seaforth. (This lean acknowledged fact by competent and ex- perienced judges.) These teas are imported direst from London, England.

"This," said H-, "is the - grave of the no- torious gambler and card sharper, M.

P. for South Huron, sold a pair of heavy draught mares, which he showed at the Western Fair at London last week and which took the first prize, for the sum of $800, including the harness. The purchaser is a farmer in the vicini- ty of Chatham, and bought them for breeding purposes. Last fall the same man offered Me. McMillan $500 for the two foals from these mares which he has new purchased. They were both bred by Mr. McMillan, and are as Rent a pair as was ever raised in the county. MANITOBA EXHISITS.-When Mr. Allan Hobson, the well known market gar- dener, returned from the Northwest a couple of weeks ago, he brought with him samples of the wheat, oats, and barley grown in that eonntry; also, specimens of the grasses and soil, the coal, and alkali. These epeciniens were all on exhibition here and at the Western Fair at London, at both of which places they attracted considerable notice. Mr. Hobson has taken. up a farm in the Turtle Mountain district, and spent the Bummer making the required improve- ments. He intends removing out there with his family next spring.

At the Firemen's tournament at Mitchell on Tuesday last, the Seaforth eempany carried off the first prize of $50. The test for the competing corn- paniee was to run with the hose cart 300 yards, lay 300 feet of hoe, attach the hose to a hydrant and procure water. The following companies com- peted and made the time specified: Stratford, 1 minute 35t seconds; St. Marys, 1 minute 37- seconds; Brussels, 1 minute 27t- seconds; Seaforth, 1 mi- te 21 seconds. It will thus be seen that Seaforth won let prize and Brus- Bela 2d. The second prize was $30. Seaforth company had ten seconds added to their time by the judges on account of not having had the nozzle screwed up tight, so that their actual time was 1 minute 11 seconds. Mx. Robert Abram of the Seaforth com- pany also won the first prize in the 200 yards race for firemen in uniform. Be- iiides the firemen's test there was a Trades' Procession and other amuse- ments, and the celebration was emi- nently successful and was witnessed by a very large crowd of spectators. THE INSURANCE COMPANY. - 'A full meeting of the Board, of Directors of the McKillop Mutual Fire Insurance Company, was held in this town on Monday last. It was unanimously de- cided to pay the full amount of the in- tuit -fence held by Mr. Edward Turner, of Tuckersmith, on his barn and. contents recently destroyed by fire. It was also resolved to offer a reward of $400 for the detection and conviction of the ideKillop incendiaries. The resolution Low, BRIETS.-Mr. Thomas Shan- non, of Emerson, and brother of W. J. Shannon, Esq., of MoKillop, has been appointed to a position on the customs' force in that town. Mr. Shannon was formerly a resident of Seaforth.-It is the intention of the -Trustees of the Sea: forth Public School to dispense with the services of a second male teacher after the let of January next. This can now be done without detriment to the school on account of the advanced pupils going to the High School. It is expected that the present female teach- ers will be retained and advanced, and an experienced teacher engaged for the junior division. -Mr. James Sleeth, of this town, left for Winnipeg on Wednes- day. He intends Working at hie trade as a carpenter in that city during the winter. He is a steady young man, and will do well in the western metrop- olis. -Mrs. Hespeler, of Winnipeg, is at present in town at the residence of her father, L. Meyer, Esq. -Messrs. John Hannah and G. E. Cresswell, of Tuck- ersrnith, made several sheep pnrchases at the Western Fair last week. -Mr. James White, of Rodgerville, was of- fered. $800 for the beautiful team of matched greys which he has exhibited at several of the showthis season. He wants more. They are the handsomest and best tesetn Mr. White has ever had, and that is saying a good deat.-Sea- forth horses carried everything before them.in the single carriage end roadster classes at the Exeter show on Tuesday. Mr. A. Forbes got that, and Mr. -T. A. Sharp second for single carriage, and Mr. R. L. Sharp first, and Mr. Robert McLeod seeend for single drivers. -Mr. Wm.

Mr. Me mm was a nictina of consumption, has been illfor about two years. was highly respected by all who k ew him. He leaves a widow and. family ef young children to mourn his los The weather, although unusually pl ant for this, season of the year, is rat dry, and a good day's rain will as vegetation. The roads are as duet in midsummer. It is splendid weat for the shows, but not very 'good for farmers. -We understand that a rew of $1,000 it to be offered for such formation as will lead to the detec ay wn al - pd 34e gathered to listen to the music and ad- dresses rendered by those who were in- vited to take part in the entertainment. After the 'speaking and singing were over, three ,ladies were nominated for the quilt. The lady polling the highest number of votes to have the quilt. Mrs. John Mills was the succeesf el candidate. On the whole, it "was one of the most pleasant gatherings of the season. One hundred and thirty dollars were re- alized, which are to be spent in furni- ture and carpet for the Methodist par- sonage. The East Riding Show. The East Riding Show was held at Wroxeter , on Tuesday and Wednesday last; The weather Was pleasant and the show was the best ever held in Wroxeter. In the hall there was every nice collection of articles, almost every- thing' being good. The ladies had a very fine display. Dairy products were largely represented, and embraced several ex- cellent samples of butter. The grain was particularly good. We have not seen better this year, while the compe- tition was keen. Fruit also was fair in quality and there was quite a large collection. The roots were scarcely as large as thoee shown in the southern partof the county, but there was fully as large a display.tPotatoes were par- ticularly noticeable for size 'and smooth - nes of appearance. The outdoor show was fully up to the other department. There was not such a large show of horses as at .either Sea - forth or Exeter, but there were many superior and valuable anipaals in each -of, the classes, but judging from the appearance of must of them they had bee tt ovez-worked on shert pasture. While this does not detract materially from the merits of the animal, it does not show tmsuch good advantage. On the whole the horses, although good, were not as well got up as they should be for a show. In cattle there was a large and. excellent show. We were somewhat 'surprised to fro so many good thoroughbreds while the grades were nothing inferior. There has been a greater and more rapid inaprovement in cattle in this section of the country within the past six years than ' in any other class of animals. Although horses are coming up well, the stock is not so good proportionately and ha,s not ad- vanced so rapidly as cattle. A few more imported heavy draught stallions would have a beneficial influence in the northern part of the county. In sheep there was a large show, especially in Cotswolds and Led:masters. There were a few good' Downs, andcrome Down as. er jet ills • er he rd in- ion and conviation of the perpetrators' of the late ingendiary fires in Main The Coun4d1 give $400, the McKi Insurance Cole:many $400, and Thomas Govenlock $200. -The grai pouring in now in good style, and produce dealers are kept busy. Seaf ). is leading this year in the matte prices, and; as a result, it is still favorite market with farmers. -Tl will be a Meeting of the member the Seaforth Fire Brigade on Mon evening next, at half -past seve Messrs. John G. Wilson, Alex. Wilt J. A. Witscin and M. Monroe, atten the Louden shooting match this wdek, and succeeded in carrying off some of the largest prizes. They all did wel • Walton. TEA ,MEETING. -A very successful tertainmeidt was held in the Meth° church here, on the ei'ening of the 2 Sept., at Which a handsome slim Dabney was realized. On coming to t circuit, an effort was made by the la to furnish pur minister's home. M op. lop r, is LIE rth of the ere of • ay on, ded • en - List th of is les ‚fly plans were tiaggested, but the one finally decided upon was that of an autogr ph quilt. After some weeks' effort by he ladies, e nice sum was realized. Not having sufficient, however, it was de- cided. to hod a fruit festival in connec- tion with the disposing of the quilt. On Friday night, at the hour of seven a large and attentive congregation was crosses, butthe "long wo Is " are still the favorites here. In BW418 there was a large show, and although' there were a few good animals, the long snouts and long, thick; coarse hair, wae almost too prominent a feature on meny of them. The show of poultry was good,- and. there waida, nice display (AI implements and vehicles. The attendence was not nearly so large as it should have been, considering the fact that the show was held in the centre of as fine an agricul- tural district as there ie in Canada.
