DI =WT. MATTERS.. FOOT ALL MATO/L—A meeting of re- ' tired fa ers took -place in the Mechan- ics' Insti ute rooms on 'Wednesdey even - Ing hut, to make arrangements for the roposed foot ball match, Seaforth gmondyille. The Egmonaville men 'had everything in order, even to having engaged the new recreation grounds for the occation. The Seaforth men not corning tip to time, es -ere given three deye to muster their forces. This is how the snatch stands'at present. We hope the Seaferth men will not lbe the cause - of failure, as the chief object is to aid the Mechanics' Institute.—Comt ' THE 11 Gu SCROOL ENTERTAINMENT.— Emma) r the Hieh School Annual e antes, which commence on the High -School griouncls this afternoon at three ;o'clock. In the evening a strawberry 'social es -T be held, Avhen, in addition to tthe strawberries end ice cream, a choice , musical end literary entertainment will be gi-i-en, in uticla the principal Bina- , tears of the town will take part. The :Docherte Organ Band from Clinton have also beea engaged and will be in at- tendancer. The scholars ere leaving nothing undone to make the affair a splendid success, and our towns people - should, show thew appteciation of their efforts by Makin°. a general rally to the school this aternoon and evening. . LEAVD`i, a TONI-N.—We regret to learn that Dr. Ha,never, who has been a resi- dent of this town for several years, has decided to remove to London, where we understand he has excellent prospects for a much larger practice than he has had here. During his residence in Seaforth Dr. Hanover has made many friends, who willlbe sorry to hear of his intended departure. He is a good citizen, a clever praetitionere and a wholeesouled, genial' gentleman, who, in, an eminent. degree represents the many good quali- ties of his countrymen. While, there- fore, we regret his departure, we can heartily reecimmend him to the people of the Fore- :; City, and we hope that his most sanguine expectations may be more than realized. I , • t Tim SEAFORTH CREAMEB.Y.—The first sale of butter manufactured at the Sea - forth Creamery during this season, was made by the proprietor, Mr: John Han- nah on Wednesday last The entire make for May and June was sold for 1% cents per pound. Considering the very depressed state of the market, this is an exceedingly good sale and should give satisfaction to the patrons. The highest price that can be realized for home-mat:le butter is 11 cents, thus showing a ceats in favor of Creamery butter, It will be thus seen that those who patronize the Creamery make a good profit, after paying aIl ex- penses of making, OVer those Who still make their own butter and in addition save all the labor in connection with butter making. If the Creamery were more liberally patronized so thatthe Output evould be greater the profita would be proportionately larger. It cer- tainly pays the farmers to patrenize the Creamery far butter making. BARN IMFROVEMENTS.—Many of the farmers in, this vicinity are improving and enlarging their out -buildings. We have already noticed a- good, many of these, Among others, however, we ob- ., serve that Mr. Thos. La,pslie, whose farm adjoins the town on the north side, has added. an extension to each side of baria, and has put a stone foundation with cellarage for roots, &c., underneath adclition.—Mr. Reuben Clarke of the Hueon roa,d, near Alma, has also had his barns and sheds raised up, and is having stone stabbling underneath.—Mr: Georee Walker of the Mill road,Tueker- smitlt is also heving his barn enlarged and re -fitted. It is being raised up, split in the centre, a,nd a 25 feet exten- sion added, and a stone wall is being put underneath the whole, thus affording ex- tenaive ,and comfortable stabling under- neath kir stock, as well as cellarage for roots. These indications of increasing wealth and prosperity on the part of our enterp 'ng farmers are always gratify- ing, to the examinations c n not'expelct that -they will be promoted, while -the pro- gress of the children will be retaarled and much confusiori created in the school. Mr. 111cFaail the principal, ,wishes us to impress ties importent fact upon the parents, and e therefere hope that all parents will se that their chil- dren are in their accuetomed places in the school on the aboive named days. We may also state that both trustees and teachers will be gi d o see as ina4Y parents present at the ex minatiene as possible. • . - Fnom Therreeeoit .—IAn esteemed friend who is a membe of the gallant Queen's Own Rifles, wetingfronni Battle - ford. under da* of une 7th, says, among other thipgs : " Oar paP,ers do not reach us very regularly.

' 'The repo t first rea,claed here ahout seven o'clock in the evening and several hurriedly drove down to Dublin with the hope th t they might be able to Tender Some assi tance. On arriving there, hewever, they ascer- tained that their services . were ot re- quired, as the fire had been confi ed to the main building and had been pre- vented from spreading to the Pa acious ont-buildings adjoining and- w s then over -come. ' It eeems that the fir origi- nated in the upper Ceiling from a defect- ive flue,and had evidently beensrn alder- ing for some considerable time as it was not observed until the flames bu st out around the cornice of the main bt ilding. The fire had thus gained such he d -way and the smoke had beceme so int nse in the upper patt of the buildin , that nothing could be done to stay the flames. The furniture i was all safely removed, but the interibr of the main building was completely destroyed, although by hard work and good tmana.gement the fire was prevented from communicating witlithe kitchen atta,chment, which re- mained comparatively uninjured. The walls, also, of the main building are con- siderably cracked 'and injared and will require to be rebuilt It was one of the most handsome and best finished residences in this section of the epuntry, and although as we learn the insur- ance is ample so that Mr. Kidtirl'S loss - will not be very heavy, the ineonven- ence to himself and family. will be con- siderable.

Several persons have been suspected and their places searched, but none of the goods, stolen were found, but with one person. Some goods were found on sub- sequent inquiry, and the actions of the party suspected look as if things were not right, and that the suspicions are well founded. It is to be hoped that they are innocent as they are young men, and such a suspicion may damage them in after life, yet one of the parties must do something towards proving himself innocent different from the manner he is doing or very few will consider him in- nocent, though not in a position to prove him guilty.
