One of the .sot remunerative crops which our farmers have heretofore raised is hay. 'Ten dollars per ton has been an average price, and when it is remembered that from two to three tons per acre can be raised, some idea of the profit of the business may be gained. Equally profit- able is potato raising. We believe we e safe m saying that during -no year A.Carmichael, and $16.20 were granted to E. Stone for nine weeks board for E. Bennell. After passing a number of ac- counts the, council adjourned until the first Saturday in October at 11 o'clock a. m. Glenfarrow. Feseavee,.:--A dairymaids' festival tdok place in the -Salem Methodist church on Wednesday evening of last week. A large number were r•resen' and a very ; enjoyable evening was spe t. The pro- ceeds amounted to about $25 and went towards paying off a debt li on the par- sonage. i HYMENEAL. -A very interesting social event took place on Wednesday of last week, being the marriage of Miss Jane in the history of the country has there Wright, daughter of the late John ot been some time and frequently for Wright, of Lissavagne House, Porte- ll the whole year, when potatoes were down county Armagh, Ir land, to Mi. rth at leaat fifty cents a bushel, and Charles Finlay, of Howl . The mari riage ceremony was performed at the residence of Mr. James Wylie, Pleasant Hill, by Rev. Mr. Stuart, pastor of the Presbyterian church in Belmore, in the presence of a number of friends of the contracting parties. The esteem in which both are held was well exemplified by the large number of beautiful and costly presents made to the bride. We unite with their many friepds in wishing ' them a long, prosperoug and happy w-edded life. two hundred to three hundred bushels per acre is an average crop. Nor yet Will the advantage which Barron County farmers possess by reason of close proximity to this class of markets be wrested from them for many years. Away to the East opens up a country for two hundred nines whose principal industry for a *quarter of a century must be lumbering. The Minneapolis, Sault Stn Marie and Atlantic railway stretches ta the north of us, and but 100 miles away is being opened up the most won- derful iron deposit in the world ; its thousands of workers and hundreds of teams must be fed, and for a quarter of a century Barron County fields will be the nearest source of supply. And this is not to mention the deposit of iron just discovered andbeing opened up in the northeastern portion of our county which, if its dev-elopment shall reveal a wealth of deposit believed by many to exist, these will add another immense dement/ for our farmers productions. But it is not in sowing and reaping grasses and grains alone that the Bar- ron county farmer secures a reward for his labors. Long before his settlement here, aye even before his birth, nature had gown for him, and in decades and centuries following had nurtured and raised the crop which still awaits the harvest. Although the county has yielded billions of feet of pine timber much still remains, bat it is to the tens of thousands of acres of untouched hard- wood lands, as fine as man could wish, that we desire to call especial attention. In fixing their market value supply and demand operate here as well as else- where, and to -day they may be bought at merely nominal prices, from $3 to $6 e. per acre. In the very near future these lands will be worth from $15 to $25 per acre, made so by the influx of settlers 'which the extraordinary advantages of our county are certain to induce. In the character of the soil and timber they equal if not excel the lands once timber- ed of Waukesha, Dodge, Washington and Sheboygan counties, now selling at from $60 to $100 per acre. But if people Seeking homes want open or improved lands such are yet obtainable at reason- able prices, we add respecting lands for sale in the county, nearly all may be bought- on easy terms of payment. An- other item of interest to the labor- ing man is especially worthy of mention. Unlike the bleak prairie, where labor may be obtained during five or six. months of the year, in Barron county no man need be idle a day in the year, so constant is the demand far labor. The water of the county is cool, soft, pure and abundant, and is obtained from wells of convenient depth, or from gush- ing, sparkling springs. The county em- braces a network of streams fed by springs flowing over :beds of gavel and sand, and lined by woodland or hard bottom marsh, and some of the most lovely spots on earth are found border- ing on the streams of Barron county. Numerous lakes skirted by woodland and of sand and gravel bottorn are scat- tered over its surface, adding beauty to the landscape and abundance to the supply of this one of God's richest bless- ings. In all of these waters the finny tribe abound, and strings of bass, pike, pickerel and speckled. trout are the cer- tain reward of the sportsman's toil. East Wawanosh. Locahrnes."-Several from this part are attending the Industrial Exhibition at Toronto. -Communion services were held in Calvin Church last Sunday. Rev. Mr. Anderson was ably assisted by his father, Presbyterian minister in Tiverton. -Mr. Charles Campbell is suffering from a severe attack of neuralgia. -Miss McGowen is engaged in the 6th line school for 1888. -Miss Dunbar has resigned her position as teacher in the school on the 10th con- cession. Mr. Anderson, teacher, near Londesboro, takes her place. -Mrs. Robeet Scott is on a fair way of re- covery from her recent sickness. - Themes Henry, J. Andereon, and Christy Robertson are now attending the Model School in Clinton. -Revival seryices are now being held in the Methodist brick church every evening. Blyth. LOCALITIES. -Mr. A. :Lawrence has removed with his family to Londes- borb. He was a worthy and useful citizen whom we are sorryto lose. -Mr. Dunbar, tailor, intends occupying the building north of Kelly's block which is being painted and otherwise repaired for him. -The Salvation Army still hold out here. They were joined a few evenings ago by some members of the force from Wingharn. They had a grand_ march and knee drill on the market square. The Army is not grow- ing much in numbers here, now that the novelty of the thing has worn off, al- though it has, unquestionably, done some good. -On Friday of last week all the hotel keepers of the town were summoned to -appear before Police Magistrate Williams te answer to charges for infractions of the Scott Act. A great many witnesses were in attendance but many of them were not called. The cases against Milne and VanEgmond were postponed and convictions were made against Durnion, Emigh, and Bennett, but it is said they have given notice of appeal on sonae technical ground. &fore concluding` in respect to the general advantages of Barron • county, which we have been able but briefly to note, we would not fail to include men- tion of a delightful, vigorous health -giv- ing climate. We doubt if a locality can be found where disease and sickness are less prevalent than in or midst. This is largely attributable to pure air, pure water, an excellent drainage of land, the absence of miasma breeding swamps, and. not a little to the influence of the pines. Ravine thus briefly noted a few . of . the inducerneists of which Barron oounty as a whale' offers to the thou - Sands who are in quest of locations, we turn now to our own settlement which I believe the two-thirds of them are Canadians, and although they came in with small capital they have made for themselves comfortable homes. There were two boys by the name bf Whiteford came in here from Centralias Efuron county, last spring, and each of thetn has bought 160 acres of land, with about 40 acres of improvement on each. They are 'nen of capital, and the very men we need here,although men of small means can do better here than any place I know of. One of the Whiteford boys • bought the fa.rrn that I had improved on and I ha.ve bought again a mile and a • half from my old place, and I have com- menced to build, on it. It is unimprov- ed, and. although getting to be an old roan I am not afraid to face the bush once more, and I believe the timber on it will pay for and clear it with my own work. Yours Respectfully, . J. W. FOSTER. THE HURON EXPOSITOR. Mr. Muir is attending the Presbytery' meeting in Lucknow. Mr. Repinstal, bf FOrdwich, occupied Mr. Muir's pul- pit last Sabbath. -Mr. A.

Applications were made at Oagoode Hall, Toronto'on Friday last, to the Queen's Bench Divisional Court to fix a time and place for the trial of three Do- minion election cases. The East North- umberland petition, against the return of Dr. Mallory, was fixed for trial on Thursday, the 10th day of November next, at 1 p. m„, in the town hall at 13righton. In the West Huron case, the motion was made on behalf of Mr. M. C. Cameron, who is the respondent in the cross petition. The cross petition was fixed for trial on Wednesday, the 16th day of November, at 10 a. m., at the court house in Goderich, when it is pro- bable that the petition against Mr. Por- ter, the sitting member, will also be tried. The West Middlesex petition, against the return of W. F. Roome, was fixed for Tuesday, the 12th day of De- cember, at 10 a. m., at the town hall, Strathroy. • SCOTT ACT DIFFICULTIES. The judgment in Queen vs. Beemer was not given on Friday as was expect- ed by the Queen's Bench Division. The question for decisidn was whether Mr. Grace, the police magistrate for the county of Brant, has the right to sit in the city of Brantford to try offences arising in the local limits of the county exclusive of the city. The court direct- ed notice to be served upon the Minister of Justice and the Attorney -General of Ontario to argue the constitutionality of a Dominion and Local Act. The consti- • tutional questions are: 1. Can the On- tario Government appoint police magis- trates at all? 2. The validity of the jAct 50 Vic. (0.), cap. 11, sec. 7. 3. The -right of the Dominion Legislature to prescribe the limits of the jurisdiction of a police magistrate in a prcsecution under a Dominion Act, and 4. Incident- ally, the right of the Ontario Legislature to create a Criminal Court of Appeal. The argument will take place in the No- vember term.
