COnstable Davis, of Blyth, who has been
appeinted.public preseeuter by the Scott
Aet Asseciation of this coonty, hod sev-
eret cases before Mayor Forrester, of

'Aimee Muarenes.-The otato crop
P
seems to be a particularly prolific one
thie year. We have had several samples
a large potatoes left with us this week,
but the fcatowing. are the lareest : Mr.
Thigh Dunn, of MeKillop, steals at the
head of the list, and was the owner of
thelargest potato at present known of.
This monster weighed a fraction over
tveot pounds, and measures 18 inches the
one, way aud 13 inches the other. It is
of the variety known as the Queen of
the VaIley,-Mr. Joseph Collie, of Eg-
mOndville, has Ieft with us three of the
saine variety, grown by him, one of
which weighs lrh. oz,.another lib. 101
ola. and the third, lib. 111 oz. --Mr. Jas.
Iftlten, of McKillop, has I also left us a
seniple, the largestef which weighs lib.
IQ oz., but we do net know the variety.
KIS said that the Rose potatoes are rot-
ting bedIy,hut there is yery little rot
among the newer varieties, It would
sehra that the Rose has served- its time
in thie distriet, and potato growers
shbuld make a change. There is no
doubt hut a change of seed for potatoes
,!cl beneficial as far grains. .

SAAVOILTEC POULTRY AT THS INDUS-
TRIAL ExHIBITION.--There are not many
pieces in Cana.da that can beat Seaforth
aaia poultry cent re, and our enterpris-
ingt breeders well maintained their repo-
tation at the great Industrial Exhibition
which closed at Toronto last week. Mr.
A! J. Wilson, one of our most extensive
breedera, cleared averythieg before him
in! Dark Brahmas, having carried off
four first prizes and two seconds. He
teak all the firsts in this; eIass and two
oot of the four seconds, lie also got
the diploma for the best breeding pen of
Btack Harnburgs ; first for Golden Po-
land cockerel and pullet, and first for
Partridge Coehins. In all he carried
away six first prize* two eeconde, and a
diploma. -Mr. Jolu; Finch, who makes
,epecialty of Light Brahmas, and who

first for his hen bird. -Mr. Andrew.,
Calder, whe aIso devotee a good deal of '
attention to poultry raising, got second
for Silver Grey Dorking pullets, beating
several imported birds. )4Then we con-
sider that all the largest breeders of this

Stetes were represented at •this eehibi-

Seam. Aeon una.-Another Huron
Pioneer, in the person of Mr. Wm.
Seott, of the 7th concession, of Tucker -
smith, has passed to his long home. Mr.
Seott died on Sunday evening last at the
good age a 86 years and three months.
He had been troubled ifor some time
with an internal tumor, but had always
been able to be around until Friday last,
when hb was forced to take to- bed, and
04Iy survived until Sunday evening.
He was a native of Dumfrieshire, Scot-
land. and came to Canada in 1832. He
then settled in Galt, in the county of
Waterloo, and remained there' until
1846, when he removed to Tuckersraith

tinoed. to reside until his death. He
WO'S-among the first settlers in that part
of the toWnship, and was1notecl for his
industry and good management, and had
aticentulated a competenc, y. He was a
wan of few words and of !retiring dispo-
sition, bat was thoroughly upright and
honorable in all his dealings. His word
wiitS as good as his bond. In his prime
he was noted for his muscular power,
and in the early days of his settlement
hpre he used to think nothing of carry-
ing a hundred peunds of flour on his
shoulder over the bush path from
Egmondville to his homer He was an
obliging neighbor and a. good citizen,
and ia politics was an tmflinching
Liberal. He was always a great reader,
and in later years his books and papers
were his principal companions. His
wife died about three'years ago, and a
son and daughter preceded him to the
grave. Two sons aed one daughter sur -
vie e him. The funeral took place on
Toesday, and the remains were interred

n urners.

BRIEFS. -Mr. as. McGill, a former
resident of Gerrie, is at present repair-
ing the weigh seales; , A company his
purchased new Scales, whieh will soon
be put in posititat. Gerrie will then be
well supplied -With scales. -Mr: Fred.
Young, son of Mr. Jas. Young, of this
village is attendieg the Goderich Model
Sehool with a view of becoming a teach-
er. Fred is a young lad of more than
ordinary talent,. while his character is
unexceptionable.1-The Wroxeter but-
cher makes professional calls in Gerrie.
Opposition is the life ef trade. -Mrs.
Alex. Carson Went to Toronto last week
to attend the EXhibition.-The members .
of the .Women's Christian Temperance
Union in Gerrie have ,presmited the
public school with some valuable books
on the subject of temperance. This kind
of literature shoeld. be. more extensively
circulated than it is. As much as possi-
ble should be done to kssbn the demand
for pernicious literature, 'and to induce
the demand for the better class. Young
children should not be allowed to read
ten cent novels, from which there is no
good to be derived. Good literature
can now be procured as cheaply as
baded-Mr. William. Armstrong', our
worthy „veterinary surgeon's brother,
spent a few days in Goreie last Week.
-Mrs. James Armstrong and family
awe visiting with her father-in-law near
Bayfietch-The Rev. Mr. Muir, pastor
of the Gerrie Presbyterian church, is
taking a short vacatioh. Rev. Mr.
Charletoa, Methodist minister, Gorrie,
occupied the pulpit in the- Presbyterian
church on Sabbath last, and preached a
.
very good sermon, selectieg as his text
the 30th verse of the •12th chapter of
St. Mark. -The Rev. Mr. Tyndall, of
Walkerton, is spending a few days
with friends in Gorrie.-Mr. James
McLaughlin and his daughter have
returned from their visit to friends
in - Michigan. He is not very fa-
vorably imprested with the part of
the State throngh which he passed. -
Mr. W. B. Elli tt, a former resident of
i
Gerrie, is in the village. He speaks in
glowing terms f the country in the
vicinity of. the Niagara Falls.--Gorrie
possesses a yoting man (?) who owes his
existence, to so e extent at least, to the
-kindnesS of ' sot le of the Gorrie people,
as well as' to th of the wnship coun-
cil. A few ye rs ago his lad would
have died of hu ger were it not for the
assistance given him by kind-hearted
eople, who collected clothing, footle &c.,
or him and the other ihembers of the
family. Now he can sihoke and chew,
swear, use ' obscene langhage, and even
insult those whe kindly assisted in sup-
plying him with! the necessaries of life
when he could ot prochre them him-
self, Is this right, J,itihes ? Honor
bright !-The se ton of the Presbyterian
church has, it appears, converted the
yard in which t church is built intO a
pasture field. his should not be al-

The 1 ich Show.
The annual A ow ofi the Hay Braneh
Agricultural SO iety, was held on Tues-
day and Wedne day last. - The weather,
although someot at cold, was very fav-
orable, and th r was the largest turn-
out of spectat rs ever before at this
show. The gat receipts amounted to
over $50 more than was ever befdre
taken in. The how was fully op to if
not in advande of any.former year in
almost every department. In the hall
there vas a ver4 nice display of ladies'
w1ork, and an xtra show of feuit and
it
grain. The roc, s and vegetables were
fair. In the fiel there was a good show°
of horses, probe* the best, all round,
ever seen here. Cattle also are improv -
i
ing, and the co. petition in some' classes
.was quite keen while there were sev-
eral excellent , enimals. In sheep and
pigs the competition was confined prin-
cipally to a fe4 reeders, and there were
not as many as sual on exhibition, but
all shewn were g ed. There was also a fair
show of poultry and a number of very
handsome and well made carriages, be-
sides the usual array of agricultural im-
plements. The following is the honor

editor of the News for criminal libel,
The jury, brought in a verdict of gualtY
and the Judge sentenced Mr. sheppard
to a fine 'of $200, which wae at once

prisonment which the law allows. When
Sheppard was leaving the eoUrth011fle IS
