SAiELY HOME. —Messrs. Robert Mc-
Millan, Hullett ; John Templeton,
Tuckersmith ; Peter McGregor, Bruce -
field; John Avery, Stanley; and Isaac
Rattenberry, Clinton, returned home
from the Old Country on Friday night
Iast. Mr. McMillan and Mr. Templeton
each brought with them a yearling
Clydesdale stallion; Mr. McGregor
brought a yearling Clydesdale and an
English carriage stallion two years old,
while Mr. Avery brought a couple of
Clydesdale mares. All the animals are
said to be good, and will still further en-
hance the value of Huron's horse pro-
perty. They had a rough passage but
got all their animals safely landed.
Horses are very much dearer in the Old
Country now than they ever were before,
and really good animals are hard to get.
The United States and the Australian
colonies are now becoming active pur-
chasers of Clydesdale sires and breeding
mares.

THE Snows. —The Toronto papers
have been fairly boiling over this week
with reports of " Canada's Great Fair,"
as the Industrial Exhibition being held
in that city this week is termed. The
affair is, no doubt, a great success in so
far as attendance, at least, is concerned.
The gate receipts up to Wednesday
'morning were nearly $4,000 larger than
at the corresponding period last year.
Wednesday, however, was, the big day
of the show, and the gate receipts on
that day amounted to $12,229, being
over $3,000 more than on the corres-
ponding day of /est year. A large
number from this vicinity took ad-
vantage of the cheap railway fares to
Yisit the eity, many, no doubt, intending
to kill two birds with one stone—see
the show and do business also. This
week there were 220 tickets for Toreneo
sold at the Seaforth station. Wednes-
day was the principal day, 212 hawing
been sold on that day. The London
Fair opens on the 19th, and great at-
tractions are also being advertised for it. •
A good many exhibitors and more sight-
seers will go from this vicinity to Lon-
don. The Provincial, held at Ottawa,
is out of reach this year.
BOUND BY HAND.—DEAR EXPOSITOR.
—I see by last issue that your Hill's
Green correspondent would like me to
state whether Mr. Dixon bound what I
said he did by hand, or rode on a bind-
ing machine while the binder did the
work. Well, now, I had po refereece to
• a binding machine whatever. Mr. Dix-
on bound all I said he did by hand, and
that with a pair of common binding
gloves on his hands, and it was well
done. If the work had been done by a
machine I -would not have said a word
about it. Itir. Dixon can do all I said
he could, and is willing to prove it to
the satisfaction of any person who doubts
it and is willing to pay him for his work,
as he does not work for nothing, especi-
ally when he is on a job like that. Lean
safely say that Dufferin county has the
champion binder of Ontario in the per-
son of Mr. Henry Dixon. Some will
say "your are blowing," but I am not,
for I speak candidly. In regard to big
binding by a machine, we have a man
here who cut 12 acres in hall a day, bar-
ring three rounds which were done pre-
viously. The work was done by one
team and a "Low-down Noxon-Steel
binder." Dufferin still ahead.—Yours
Truly, W. B. CLARKE, Shelbourne.

ACC1DENTS.-9n Wednesday of last
week Mr. Geoege Ewing met with a
very painful ccOent which laid him up
for several days'. He. wept out CO the
farm of Mrs. C:rnochan, dn the 2nd con-
cession of Tuckersmith, to get a beef
animal which he had piirchased. Find-
ing the animal difficult to drive he decid-
ed to slaughter it on the premises. While
dressing the beef in the barn he found
the wind blowing in somewhat trouble-
some, and Went to close the door. Just
as he was going to do this a gust of wind
caught the doer and slammed it shut.
Mr. Ewing savd it coming but before he
could get out of the way the large door
struck him with great force, knocking
him down and severely bruising his face,
arm and other parts of his body, but
fortunately no bones were broken. He
was rendered unconscious for a time and
had he got the full force of the blow,
he would almost certainly- have been

named George Beattie, grandson of Mr.
Robert Carmichael, was playing in Cole,

HURON PRESBYTERY. —A meeting of
the -Presbytery of Huron was held in the
Presbyterian ohurch, Exeter, on Tues-
day last. A call from the congregations
of Manchester and Smith's Hill, to the
Rev. Mr. McMillan was presented, and
Monday, the 26th inst., fixed for the in-
duction services providing the call is ac-
cepted by Mr. McMillan. Rev. R. Y.
Thomson handed in hie resignation of the
charges of Hensall and Chiselhurst, and
all parties immediately interested are to
be cited to appear at the next meeting
of Presbytery, when the matter will be
determined. Continued ill health is the
reason which induces Mt, Thomson to
tender his resignation. Application was
made to have Chiselhurst separated from
Hensall, and a committee appointed
to enquire into the matter and report at
next meeting of Presbytery. Rev. Dr.
Ure, of Goderich, applied on -behalf of
his congregation for liberty to moderate
in a call for an assistant as soon as the
congregation is prepared, and the appli-
cation was granted. Rev. Mr. McCoy
was granted permission to nioderate in a
call to a minister on behalf of the con-
gregations of Bayfield Road'and Blake
so soon as these congregations are pre-
pared to take this step. The next meet-
ing of Presbytery will be held in Sea -
forth on the second Tuesday in Novem-
ber. Instead of billeting the members
of Presbytery at She houses of friends,
the ladies of their Exeter congregation
had dinner prepared for them in the
basement of the church, which was a
new departure most acceptable to mem-
bers of Presbytery, as it saved delay,
facilitated business, and no doubt saved
trouble to individual families, and al-
-forded members additional facilities for
social converse.

• LOCAL BRIEFS.—Mr. Wm. MUltay,

town has again resumed operations.
They have received about 30,000 bushels

those who took part in the Caledonian

pressing satisfaction with the handsome
manner in whieh they had been treated
by the committee and officers, and the
hospitable treatment accorded them
generally. The following is en extract
from one of he letters, and ts given as
a sample of' the others.. It proceeds:
"Will you convey my warmest thanks
to the Caledonian Society of Seaforth
for their kindness to me during my visit
to your town. Such attention tends to
the prosperity of a society. 11 trust to
be able to pay you a visit next year and
to meet you all again. I wish you, in
the meantime, every suceess, and with

cers of the Society and committee who
had charge of the games, but1they-augur
well for the increased success of future
similar demmastrations. Chief Stewart

genuine ladies and gentlemeu, and they
hope next yeto be favored with the
presence of a1 those who were here this

F1RST-CLASS GRADE C. IN 1888. ---The
following is an outline of the course of
• study required for the non-professional
first- class certificate, grade C: English—
ALGOMA PRODUCTS.—Our old friend,
Mr. Wm. Murray, arrived here from
Algoma on Saturday last to take part in
the threshing campaign. He looks well
and a year's residence in the country
has only strengthened his liking for and
his confidence in Algoma as,a profitable
and pleasant home for -the !enterprising
pioneer. M. Murray brought with him
samples of the following grains, viz.:
Democrat fall wbeat, Lost le ation spring
wheat, Egyptian oats, Welcome oats,
and small ;white peas. These grains
were grown:on the farms of the follow-
ing gentlemen, all former' Huronites :
Thos. and Wm. Murray, Chas. Granger,
John W. L4kestone, and Thomas Nott.
These samples surpass anything, we have
seen this'sesson both for celor end size,
and several experienced grain dealers
and farmers who have see ln them say
they never sa,w superior in a y country.
The oats are particularly gp d. A bet-

are non-users of Tobacco and who have
lived in the vicinity for the last 15
years without being affected in the least,
while those affected with bad smells are
eitherinveterate users or bed -fellows of
those who are. One experienced lady
says she would rather stand the smell of
six pig pens than the breath of one man
after indulging in whisky and tobacco,
and the Board of Health must have been
of this opinion also when they concluded
the tobacco perfume overcame the others-.
We have seen young ladies along with
smokers who became so weak that the
young men had to put their arms around
them to keep them up, and every mother
kn4ws that her daughters, after being in
company with young men smoking on
Sunday evenings, are scarcely ever able
to wash on Mondays, but are weak and
despondent more than on any other day
of the week. We hope the past action
of the Board may be the cause of com-
pelling every smoker to go to a pig pen
or some other equally inodorous place
while smoking, and that they will exam-
ine all wells and privys in the locality. --

LOCAL DOTS.—An unsuccessful at-
tempt 'was made by a person here to
commit suicide a short time ago.—A few
of our young people are attending the
Toronto Exhibition.—The Orange hall
is being painted, which will greatly im-
prove the effect of the building.—Harry
Burton left Walton last week, and is at
present in London,—Mrs. Edward Leach,
of this village, is visiting her many
friends in Tilsonlearg. Mr. Leach is
boarding at the Royal Exchance during
her absence.—Miss Annie Fulton was
visiting Miss Hannah Beirnes the fore
part of the present week.—Miss Louise
Pollard, who has been clerking in Mc -
Paul's store, at Seaforth, has returned
to her home in Leadbury.—A petition
signed by nearly 500 ratepayers has
been forwarded to the Postmaster -Gen-
eral requesting that the contract for
carrying the -mail between Seaforth and
Gorrie be awarded to Win. Beirnes, of
this place.—Mrs. Sage and her daughter
Annie will give musical entertainments
in London during exhibition week. They
also intend to visit other cities in the
Dominion. Mrs. Sage is one of the best
musical glass performers in America,
while Miss Annie plays the piano nicely
and ranks among the first operatic sing-
ers in the land. We wish them abun-
dant success.--T'im. B—.
Hulett.
FARM PURCHASED.—Mr.David Fergu-
son, of the 6th concession of Hullett,has
purchased the fifty acre farm of his
neighbor, Mr. Wm. Tye, for which he
paid $2,3'00. The buildings on it are
not of much value, but the land is of the
best, and Mr. Ferguson got a bargain.
.Ele now has a fine farm of 150 acres, and
has excellent buildings on the home
place. We wish him continued pros-
perity.
SAD.—Mrs. Jamieson, wife of Mr.
Wm. Jamieson, of the llth concession,
died on Monday last. Mrs. Jamieson
had only been ill about a week. She
was just 24 years of age, and leaves a
husband and two children to mourn her
loss, and who will receive the sincerest
sympathy of the entire community.
• Mrs. Jamieson was a daughter of Mr.
Win. Lawrie. She was a bright, intel-
ligent lady, and was a universal favorite
with all who knew her. Her early
demise will not only be a keen bereave-
ment to her sorrowing husband, but will
be deeply mourned by a large circle of
relatives and friends. The remains
were interred' in the Hill cemetery on
Wednesday.
LEAVING.—Mr. F. D. Hutchison, who
has taught in section No. 1 of this town-
ship for upwards of five years, intends
to leave Hullett at the end of the year.
We understand he has taken a larger
school in Grey township, at a higher
salary. Mr. Hutchison is an energetic
and painstakirig teacher, who neglects
nothing that will promote the advance-
ment of his pupils. •His success as a
teacher is sho*n by the fact that our
school was represented at the Seaforth
High School by a larger number of
pupils than any other country school in
the county. While we regret very much
to part with Mr. Hutchison as a teach-
er and as a gentleman, we congratulate
the trustees in Grey section on being so
fortunate as to secure him for their
teacher. What is our loss will certainly
be Grey's gain.
himself while so doing. Happening to
meet Mr. Walker one day, and making
his" desire and difficulty known to him,
that gentleman, with his accustomed
generosity, took the young man home
with him, and kept him free of charge,
while he pursued his studies at school.
Having completed his course at school
Mr. Campbell went to the United States
to push his fortunes there, and for sev-
eral years has occupied a responsible and
lucrative position in Acheson, and the
education necessary for the performance
of the duties of this position,he obtained
while enjoying Mr. Walkers' hospitality.
In the days of his prosperity he has not
forgotten his benefactor, and knowing
he would not accept of any pecuniary
remuneration, he adopted this means of
showing his gratitude in a tartgible form.
Mr.Walker is very proud of his present,
and it would be difficult to say which he
thinks most of,the gift itself or the spirit
which prompted it. This - is not the
first time he has been similarly remem-
bered either, as be has carried for many
years% valuable gold watch which was
presented to him by the ladies of Bruce -
field church. May he live long to enjoy
and use his presents, and to continue hie
labors of love and good works.
A HEAVY Loss.—A few weeks ago we
announced the burning of the stables in
connection with McIlaffie's hotel in the
village of Millbank, county of Perth,and
that a thoroughbred stallion named
"Will o' -the -Wisp," belonging to a man
in the county of 13ruce was burned. We
now learn that this was a mistake,as the
animal burned was the well-known stal-
lion "Whipoorwill," owned by Mr.
Robert Brock, of the Mill road, in this
township. He had been travelling in
that vicinity, and had nearly completed
a very successful season,and this was one
of his night stopping places. Whipoor-
will was bred by Mr. Brock. He was a
valuable animal, and has left some fine
stock behind him. His owner valued
him at $500.

last, and never in the history of the
school has there been so many new stu-
dents at the opening of a term. The
Seaforth High School has gained an
enviable reputation as a first-class seat
of learning, and when the building im-
provements now in progress are com-
pleted it will be one of the best equipped
schools in Ontario.—A little boy, son of
Mrs. Bell, of this town, fell off a swing a
few days ago and broke his arm.—
Mrs. 13. F. Geiger and two daughters,

ing Mr. and Mrs. L. G. VanEgmond.—
Mr. Robert Evans, of McKillop, who
has been here during the summer va-
cation, returned to Detroit on Thursday,
where he will pursue his studies at the

Smith will return home this, Friday,
evening. We are glad to learn that
they have had a most enjoyable thne.

ETCETERAS.—The Townehip Board of
Health met pursuant to notice last
Monday and examined the clay hole ex-
cavated for making bricks, and the pig
pen at the cheese factory, also the hogs.
The hogs were in a healthy condition,
but some of the other inhabitants were
suffering from melancolaric fever orsome
other internal disease. The perfume
arising from the pig pen and clay hole
was horrible, and could only be eradi-
catecl froin the sensible organs of smell
by indulging in smoking cigars, which
were furnished by one of the party„
with the advice that the tobacco fume
would destroy the others. However,
after indulging in sucking a cigar or pipe
for less than two hours, the august body
concluded to send to Toronto for a map
who does not use tobacco to diagnose any
ill effects arising from the effervesence.
The Board should have called one wit-
ness, who explained the cause of ill
health before to two of the Board, and
niust also be taken and the whole exam- be ahnost Rs conveniently situated for J. C. Morrison and Alex. Murchie, who

FARM RENTED. —Mr. Michael Murphy
has rented his farm, on the 5th conces-
sion of Hibbert, to Mr. Wm. Hudson
for a term of five years at an annual ren-
tal of $225. The farm contains 75 ac-
res. Mr.- Murphy has secured a good
tenant. He intends coming to Seaforth
to live and retires from farming on ac-
count of poor health.

There will be athletic eforts of all kinds
including a foot ball niatch between the
Hensall club and a team from No. 10,
• also a tug of war between Hensel' and
the school, beside quoit matches, &c.
The sports will commence at one o'clock,
and the games will be open and free to
all. A real enjoyable day may be ex-
pected, and it is hoped there will be a
large crowd both of spectators and par-
ticipants.

CORRECTION. --A slight error occurred
in the teachers' engagement list last
week respecting Mr. If. Horton's
salary. The $500 is for teaching No. 9
school, and does not include the addi-
tional $10 for caretaking. L -
SUCCESSFUL. --M r. William Doig,

Clinton, and Whose name was omitted
from the published list, appealed, and
his appeal was sustained by the Central
Committee of Examiners at Toronto, and
he has now received his non-professional
second-class certificate.
ACCIDENT.—As Mr. Donald McDon-
ald of the 10th concession was coming
down from the hay mow he accidentally
Id! with considerable violence against a
sharp etake fracturing several of his ribs.
We are glad to learn, however, that he
is now recovering, and we hope before
