I A NEW CHURCIE—At a meeting held _ in the Presbyterian church, Rodgerville, on Tuesday afternoon last, to receive the committee's report recently appoint- ed, as to building site, plans tece of hew church, to be built in Hensalli it was unanimously agreed that the coimmittee purchase the two -lots adjoining the manse propertytuo the buildinghlte o the church; the same beieg corner lots and extending from street to street, which, , together with the present church manse property, will make a nice ; block. As to plans, after carefully, examining the different ones submitted the congrgation was a unit as wefe the committee in favor of the plan of a church in the city of London. -This church is spoken of by all who ha,veseert it as a gem Of archi- teetural beauty, and we think the 'con- gregation ande committee are alike deserving 9f ciedit for the choice they have made. The committee with pommendable promptness have al- ready parchased all the brick ' and stone for the churoh and are, now ealling for tenders for exeavating for the foundation. and basement so that every- thing will be in readiness for the work of building in the spring. The church when finished will cost between $7,000 and $8,000 and what is, particularly creditable to the liberality of the congre- gation and zeal of the pastor, the v. ..R. Y. Thompson, B..

THE EAST RIDING SHOW. —The annual show of the East Huron Agricultural Society was held at Brussels on Thurs. da,y and Friday last. The weather on. both days was as pleasant as could be desived. The show, upon the whole, - was fairly weeSsful. The attendance 'of spectators was sbrnewhat larger than last year as shown by the gate receipts, while the exhibits, in many departments showed a marked iinprovement. In the hall the display of ladies' work,although embracing many very pretty and useful articles, was not so large as it should. be. In dairy products, there was a very fine display, the buttete estiecially, was, superb. In grainse also, there was a large and good collection, wheat and peas beingnoticeable for their excellence. In fruit there Was aevery nice, but not a large display. Itoets • and vegetablea, however, were the browning feature of the indoor departMent, potatoes and mangolds being the largest and best we have ever seen. lithe field the show, on the whole, shoWed improvement over former years. In heavy horses there were maey very adellent animals, and competition in most of the classes was quite keen. The light horses, however, were not nearly so good. There were a few well-bred and lively looking young- sters,- but the driving horses were in- ferior to those usually shown at Brussels. The ahow of cattle was the largest and decidedly thefiest ever seen at Brussels. This was the crowning department of the out -door show, and if we are' to judge of the herds of East Huron, by those eihibited on Friday, we would say the ;farmers of the district are coming rapidly to the front. In sheep there was not a very large shbw, although many of the animals exhibited were much beyond the ordinary. There was a. good, but not a largg show of swine. In poultry the collection was light,although it embraced a few very good birds. There was a very good display of aari- cultural- implements and vehicles. °On the whole, as we hate already. said, the show may be considered a success. The prize list will be found on the 6th page of this issue. Brussels. THE MARKET.—The market is gain fully established for the season.

ScHOOL TRUSTEEs.—S hool trustee eleetions, in Brussels, will e held as on former years. Some advoeate that it would be better to hold them and the municipal elections on the same day, but the principal objection urged it that politics would be intrOduced, and that it is in the interest of our school that such should not be the case, it being enough to have them in municipal elections, Two of our teachers have handed in, their resianations to take effect at the end of' tiie year, beihg Misses'Adams and Widdifield.

J. -Hayward, Inspector of , Weights- and Measures., with his assistant. Mr. ; Marentelle, made a short official visit to Mitchell. The Inspector laid before the Police Magistrate, J. II. Flagg, Eee., an - information against Mr. Andrew For- rester, of Mitchell, for using af his ftax mill a weigh scale which was not pro- perly inspected and stamped as required by law. It appeared by the evidence at the trial that the inspectors in the summer of 1882 requested Mr;Forrester to produce his scale for inspection. This Mr. Forrester stubbornly refused to do on the grounds that he did not -use the scale for buying and selling. He was then warned that if he was fouhd using the scale he would be proseouted and fined, upon which he openly defied the Inspectors. On Tuesday Inspector Marentelle, disguised as a farmer, went and bought some ilax seed which Mr. Forrester weighed on the scale. In- spector Hayward then followed and seized the scale. Hence the information and trial, Being -a first offence the Police Magistrate- imposed a fine of $5 and $2.75 costs. All scales, weights and measures require. to be reinspected and stamped every two years.

The complaints had been laid by Mr. J. Davis, of Blyth, prosecutor for the Scott Act Association, and a large number of liquor dealers, fram all parts of the county, were present. The charges were against Mr C. Spooner, - Clinton,- fwo cases against Mr. Schaffer, of Kippen, and one against- Mr. Kyle, of Tuckersmith, but the latter was subse- quently withdrawn. Mr. James Scott, of Clinton appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Campion, of Goderich, for the defence. The first case called was that of Mr. Spooner, but the prosecution asked for an adjournment, in orde ' that the in- tended witnesses might b found, they claiming that they could not be found previously, although an e ort had been made to serve the subpienee. This was opposed by Mr. Campion, lint thema.gis- trate granted an adjournment until 5 o'clock. An effort was made hi the meantime to serve a sunimons on Mh W. Grant, who, it was exPeeted, would give imitortent evidence fer the proseCu- tion, but he could not be found. When the case was re-ealled, Afri.Jos. Allanson was called as a witness, ut denied re- ceiving any liquor on the specified date mentioned in the infor iation. Being asked if he had receive any ‘i on or about that date," he refu ed to it -as -were and an appeal to the gistrate only sustained his refusal. _ T e prosecutor maintained that he was und to answer the question and wanted fru committed for contempt of court,bet the mag•istrate did not think so, and wo id not do it.
