A GOOD SALE.—The auction sale of farm stock, &o., held cm Friday last on the farm of Mr. Robert Scott, Burnside, Mersillop, was largely attended and was in every respect- a complete success. ' -One driving mare Was knocked down at cows averaged $32 each ; two year old steers 35;1sheep 41.5 per pair.; yearling colt brought 1;73 and a spring colt $57, while a spring calf was sold for $28. :The whole sale realized tdiehand- some term of 11,140. The sale W&S con- ducted by Mr. J. P. Brine, of this town, who always succeeds in doing his duty and makingit profitable for the proprie- tor on such occasions. BUSINESS CHANGE.— We understand that Mr. Cornelius Duncan, brother of Mr. T. W. Duncan, has purchased the drag business of Messrs. E. Hickson & Co., ili this town. Mr. Duncan has been oonnected with this establishment for Heinle years, and as he is a young ma.n of good business ability, and is thoronglaly competent iia every respect, the patrons of this _old and favorably known establishment, may rest assured that their interests will not suffer by the change. We hope that the large measere of success which has attended his predecessors for so many years, will be moretthan attained by.the new pro- prietor. A CHANGE.—We understand that the -executors of the Murphy estate have engaged Mr. Wm. Robb, of Tucker - smith, to manage the large farm in the township of Logan, which at present belongs to the estate. Mr. Robb in- tends removing to the farm with his family about the end of this month. While we congratulate the executors on their choice of a manager, we are very sorry that the arrangement will neces- sitate the removal of Mr. Robb from 'this county. although his absence may be only temporary, Mr. Robb's own fine fame in Tuckersmith will be managed in his absence by his son, who now resides in 1510Killop. ANEW II...-PLEMEI•IT.—We are glad to learn that the sulky plows, which are in such general use in the United States, and are also becoming popular m the older sections of Canada, are being in- troduced into the county of Huron. A few days ago Mr. 0. C. Wilson, of this town; sold one of these implements to Mr. Christopher Dale, jr., of Hullett. Mr. Dale has a fine farm of 400 acres, and if this plow gives as good satisfac- tion as he anticipates, many of his ateigh.hors will soon have them in use, as work which now requires a man to perform care with one of these pleats, be &me equally as well by any small by Who is able to drive a team. Mr, Wilson has also sold another of these 'platve th Mr. John McDougall, another extensive farmer of Goderioh township. LARGE CATTLE Svrm.—The following is from the Pueblo, (Colorado), Chief - fain, :of September 28th: "Recently Messrs. Baxter, Thatcher & Cress- well sold one of their herds of cattle in the Pan- handle country, for a round million of dollars. Thirteen years agd the herd was purchased by them for $10,000, and they have never added . any capital to this investment, but eimply allowed the herd to increisse and multiply with the above re - suit, which we consider a pretty fair profit for a $10,0fla investment and thirteen years work." Me. Henry Cresswell, of the above Erna, is a brother of the Cress:wells of ,Tuckersnaith, and will be remembered by trimly old residents of Huran. The cattle referred to were first held near Pueblo, Colorado, but that country beconting too small for them, some six years age they were removed to Nor- a there Texas, or the "Panhandle," as James that'aection is locally known. The matte business of the firm has been. entitely and exclusively managed. by .tfiresewell, and its extraordinary r coi ttes s largely due to his good jadgthent, energy end perseverance. ' veloped in flames. It is supposed that the fire was placed in a straw stack. The buildings Contained the entire crap of the semen, and nothing was saved. Most of the farming implements and all the stock Wereiremoved from the burn- ing buildings. The furniture was also removed fit= Mr. carlett's residence, and was badly smashed. Mr. Soarlett's loss will n t fall fathort of 16,000, and he has an `nsuranc of $1,500. It is almost martin that the fire was the work of a not been a during the inspected incendiary, as there had y fire around the premises day, and they were closely short time before the fire was nob° 4, and everything was then right. These repeated and daring in - incendiary' outrages are causing wide- spread alarm throughout the township, and no person now ,feels safe. In this matter it is not too much to say that the township icouncil have been cul- pably remise. It is now three weeks since the outrage Was perpetrated at Mr. Dalmege'e pace, and his life at- tempted, and !thus far no suitable steps . have been taken to discover the guilty parties. ' It is true that the council passed a resolution agreeing to give a reward of 1400 for the detection and conviction of the guilty parties, but the first offici-annouricement of this in- tention was only made by an advertise- ment in Wednesday's Mail, nattily three weeks after the occurrence of the last outrage. Had the council acted pronipt- ly, as they should .aave done, the of- fenders might have been discovered ere this, and the conflagration and the accompanying loss of Tuesday night. might have been avoided. This is not he at there is room for the f ,any Petty, cheese -paring at it is one which demands rompt aiad liberal action on the part of the guardians of the town- ship. Imitead of dilly-dallying as they have been doing, the council should long ere this hieve employed the very best detective service procurable, and should have made liberal financial provisions for the sante, and We hope they will not let another day pass until they set such machinery inimotion as Will effectually stamp out these disgraceful proceed- ings. --Since the above was written Mr. Scarlett wi hes us to express his sincerest frieiads w that even aiding to not been efforts, pu hand80133 a matter practice economy, the most hanks to his neighbors and. o came to his assistance on ng, and. worked so nobly in aye his property, as had it or the almost superhuman forth by those present, his bripk residence would also have fallen a prey to the flames.

AN OLD RESIDENT GONE. — There died. at his residence on the 10th Con- ceseion of Hibbert, on the 21st ult., one of the oldest and most esteemed resi- dents of this township, in the person of Mr. John McDonald. Mr. McDonald was a natiVe of Invernesshire, Scotland,. and came to Canada in 1847. He settled in Hibbert on the farm where he lived until his death, 35 years ago. When he came to Rogerville his entire earthly possessions amounted to one York shilling. He spent that a the Roger - vale Hotel for refreshments, and came into this township and took up his feria, and he had not one eent.

This shows what industry has accomplished in Canada. • Hills Green. THANKS.—MR.
