Cam% FRIT.—We ave to thank
oar old friend Mr. Wm. N. McMichael
of McKillop,, for a nice p esent of beauti-
ful crab apples. These apples are as
fine a sample as we bare ever seen.
They are of a variety called the own, who was "Mont-
real. .
Beauty " and gownwere on a tree
purchased over twenty y ars ago, fro
MrDMcMillan of this tm.
then agent for a Hamilton nursery. It
only bears every other y ar and since it
commenced bearing, ,it has atieraged
from 15 to 20 bushels. his year it will
yield about 20 bushels. Mr. McMich-
ael grows very fine fruit. —We have al-
so to thank Mr. And ew Storey of
Tuckersmith for a simile kind remem-
brance.
MEGILANICs* INSTITUTE —The Direct-
ors of the Mechanics' Ins itute at their
last meeting instructed t e Secretary to
issue- tickets of membe ship from this
-date to November lst,. 1887, for $1.
This, will give new mernb rs, by joining
at mine, thirteen months far the usual
yearlY fee. We are sure that if the ad-
yantage of being a mem er of our ex-
cellent Institute were su rciently under-
stood, there would be a large addition
to the membership at on e. There are
now nearly three thousalnd volumes of
chalet literature in the 1 ibrary, a com-
fortable Reading Room well warmed
and lighted, and amply supplied with
daily, weekly and illuatreted news-
papers, reviews and magazines, and
both Reading- Room an1 Library are
open to members every day from 2 to
10 o'clock p. m. The Directors would
respectfully invite all the e interedted to
visit the Institute and ju ge for them-
selves, and be convince of the many
advantages obtained by .ecoming mem-
bers of the Seafarth Meeh nice'Institute.
THE CALEDONIAN SOME ". —The meet-
ing held On Friday nig t last for the
formation of a Caledonian Society for
Seaforth was well attenddd, and a lively
interest was manifested in . the scheme.
It was aesolved to forma society, and
the folloaing officers were appeinted :-
Chief, Alex. Stewart.1 Clhieftains-'—lst,
Dr. Campbell, 2nd, J. 4. Lyons, 3rd,
Jahn McIntyre. Sect° ry, J. C. Har -
stone; assistant secretar , W. Mere-
dith ; treasurer, J. S. oberts. The
membership fee was fixe at $1, which
is very reasonable. Th first meeting
will be held on the se ond Friday in
Nee -ember, and it is in n.ded to hold
regular meetings on the second Friday
of each month. A comt ittee was ap-
pointed to prepare a c de of rules for
the government of the society. This
committee a -ill report at he next meet-
ing. We have no doubt ut the society
will receive a large me bership, and
that a live, active and 4reditabIe asso-
ciation will be formed. An excellent
commencement has beer made at any
rate.'

MILLINERY OPENINGS* The season of
changes having again coMe around, the
several dry goods este. lishments in
town which make a specie, ty of millinery
are now quite ready and fully prepared
to meet the emergencies of the season
with a large, varied aiid magnificent
stock .of millinery in al its branches.
These departments were pecially open-
ed for public inspection t Messrs. Jos.
Kidd & Serfs, Duncan & Duncan's and
Ma'aul's on Friday m rning, and at
Mr. J. McLoughlin's o4 Monday, and
from the time of opening until Tuesday
evening, when. the speci 1 display was
supposed to have subsided, they were
visited by hundreds of eaple of every

sort of holiday tinie—wjien everybddy
roUst go out to see thel new hats and
bonnets, andhave a chat and a promen-
ade with the friends t ey are sure to
meet at the millinery dpning. Main
street has rarely been so crowded as on
Saturday night, when he brass band ,
was discoursing sweet ni usic at Mr. E.
McFaurs. Variety of st les in hats and
bonnets prevails this s ason quite as
much as at any former ti ne. There are
hats in felt, both plain and beaded, in
velvet, plush and clotl covered, high
and medium crowned, rid with rites
varying from quite narro r to wide and
rolling. Among the b rge hats the
Gainsborowir is conspicuous, and likely
to be a favorite. The tu ban is revived
in several remodelled sty es. The small
bonnets with high cur ed crowns and
trimmings set high in front are very
pretty and stylish. 7 Triimmings consist
of fancy woven piece -gods in one or
two color:, loops of riblxki, feather tips,
birds, wings, pompons, 'c., in infinite
Variety. The new Astr chan trimming
give e a comfortable and (ural)1e appear-
ance \ ery appropriate Jr winter hats.
The close cottage bonnet for littlegirls
and sailor hats for bigge ones are very
pretty. The prevailing eolors are brown
ne its various shades, rary blue, city
red, steel grey, cream an orange. The

show -rooms were all draped with piece -
goods in rich velvets, plushes, ilks. and
Astraehans, which are awaiting orders
from the public to be manipulated into
creations of beauty and elegance to
adorn the fair heads of Huron's daugh-1
ters. The ladies in charge of the sev-
eral millinery departments are all well
qualified to arrange and modIfy the
goods selected, and by their edurtesy
and willingness to please attract and re-
tain the custom which makes these de-
partments the complete success theyI
have hitherto proved. Quite a number
of sales were made during the show
days to parties fkom Goderich, Clinton,

A FEW days ago in conversation with
Mr. Charles Carter, of Clinton, the question was
put him, "How are you satisfied With the White
Bronze Monument you bought two years ago?
When did you see it last?" He said, "I saw it
about two weeks ago, and I am well satisfied with
it ; it is all it was represented to me to' be.
If I were buying twenty monuments ',should
always buy the same material. 981.

YOUNG LIBERALS' CLUB. —A meeting
will be held at the Commercial hotel in
this town on Tuesday evening nett,'at
half -past seven o'clock, for the purpose
of forming a Young Men's Liberal Club
for Seaforth, All the young men of the
town who. have sympathy with the
Liberal or Reform party are cordially
invited to be present, and. we are
quested to .state that the -presence- GP
some of the "old heads" will' also be
very agreeable, - We may say that this
meeting is being called at the instance
of the young men themselves, and it it a
subject • f� congratulation that the.
young mert are alive to the. importance.
of keeping up an organization of this
kind„ which is designed, not so rri.uch in
partizan interests as for mutual impreve-
in eat. It is upon the young men of 'to-
day. that the responsibilities - of State
will rest a few years hence and the
weal of our country will depend in no
small degree upon the intelligence ob-'
tairted by our future .legislators in their
youth.- By forming such a society,
therefore, the young mea will be better
enabled to do their share towards ad-
vancing the best interests of their coun-
try, but they will also have an excellent
opportunity lof improving themselves by
discrissions upon public issues, and thus
engendering and .eneouraging an in-
terest in these questions and bete:mink
more conversant with the issues'of thel
day. They improve themselyes and
confer a benefit upon • their couetry at
the same, time. We ,hope the Young
Liberals of this town,: and Of other
municipalities as well, will view the
matter inthie light, and that a vigorous,
influential club, will be formed in Sea -
forth, which will not only have a bene-
ficial influence here, hut will be such an
example and incentive to the youngmea
of other manieipalitiet in the county
that have not yet moved in the matter
aswiii ladace them todo likewise. • .

partments. There wias -a fair show of
dairy products. In tile field the princi-,
pal attraction- was, as usual, the horse
ring. Here there wa a good show in
all classes. In cattle laiso there was a
splendid show, but in seep and pigs the
show was not large, alt ough the quality
of the animals' could carcely be excel-
led. Among the attractions wan a con-
test for lad' drivers, and ptizes were
awarded to the ladies who eould best
and most skilfully manage a horse in the
ring. This is an accomplishment which is
as useful as it is healthful, and which
hitherto has not received the encourage -
Mont it deserves. On this occs.sionthere
were 9 f:air competitors, as follows: Mrs.
W. Cunningham, Hullett ;" Miss Swartz,
Clinton; Miss Bay, Clinton • Mrs. Jas.
Connelly, Goderich townsfsip ; Mrs.
Schwartz, Colborne; Mrs.- T. Moon,
Clinton; Mrs. W. Shipley, Clinton;
Miss Elliott, Goderich tosvieship, and
Miss Lida Horton, Tuckersmith. They
were all good horsewomen, and the skil-
ful manner in whic/h they handled the
ribbons would have put to shame many
of the sterner sex Who are supposed to
be adepts at this OA of thing. After a
thorough test and considerable deliber-
ation the judges awarded Misa Bay first
and Mrs. Moon second prize. We hope
that other show managers will follow up
the good example set them by the Hal-
lett directors. A list of the euccessful
competitors in the seteral departments
will be found on the 6th page of this
issue.
